Buffalo Sabres find a way to make the fans mad despite missing a ton of bodies against Utah
The Buffalo Sabres fans were largely being gentle with the team with so many players missing in action, but that changed after losing to the Utah Mammoth. As young guys like Noah Ostlund and Isak Rosen stepped up on the team’s second line, the team’s first line of Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, and Ryan McLeod was no where to be found. Something that cannot happen when you’re getting guys to step up that aren’t typically in the lineup. After leading 2-0, and giving up five unanswered goals to JJ Peterka and the Mammoth, Sneaky Joe believes fans have every right to be upset.
Plus, Michael Kesselring made a pretty tough comment about how critical fans can be in Buffalo, and the Sabres are as big of an underdog as you ever see in their Thursday matchup with the Colorado Avalanche, the best team in the NHL.

I was there. it was a rough watch.
Fire Kevyn Adams
The embarrassing Butter Knives are going nowhere with the worst owner in major sports. Either blow this whole thing up and start rebuild number 4 or sell the team and move them to Zimbabwe
tell Tuck sign a contract or get out no more distractions no more BS he's he's good, but he's not good enough to become a distraction and drag this on
I'm ready for a teardown/rebuild. Thompson and Tuch are in their 'peak' years now, you aren't getting any better out of them. This team, any way/shape/form is not going deep in the playoffs, let along contending for a cup. If you just want a playoff appearance and a quick exit, maybe, MAYBE a coaching change and GM tinkering with the roster can get that for you. But if you ever want more than that, its time for a rebuild.
If anything, a rebuild will give the fans some hope. Maybe its false hope but its hope. We don't even have that now.
Sabres. The team you rest your starter against. You could probably rest your star players as well
Injuries are the excuse for Adams to keep his job, we would have been better off with no injuries and to keep losing to get him fired. Now they have all the reasons in the world to keep Adams and Pegula is fine with all this. It's not even comical anymore.
I know that a lot of people were writing Rosen off the last year or two for not making the Sabres roster. All after basically leading the Amerks in scoring the last few seasons.
I’ve been saying that the reason is because the Sabres haven’t given him a REAL chance to see if he’s ready for the NHL.
Like I’ve been saying, how can they claim that giving him 6-7 minutes as a real chance. Now that he’s playing closer to 29 minutes, he’s showing that he MAY be ready!
I’d say that 3 Goals and 4 Points in 5 Games is a good sign that he deservedly at least a much longer look.
Peterka must've been saying to himself all night last night thank God I'm not on that team anymore. I can't see how anybody would wanna play on this team. Thompson, Tuck, Dahlen must all want out of this team. It's only the middle of November and we're already talking about not making the playoffs again.
Sell sell sell… does the Hindenburg ring any bells?
If only Terry was as mad and valued winning as much as us. I don’t know if he’s waiting for the incompetent people in coaching and management to run out their contracts or if he’s digging his heels in with them thinking they are the solution. Unfortunately in regards to Adams I fear it’s the latter. It’s pathetic and demoralizing to see as a fan.
This team is the biggest embarrassment to the NHL Not just the players, there is talent there. Ownership, management and I’ll say it now, the coaching just TERRIBLE!!!
Start a more physical game!!
this is bullshit … no more excuses!!!!! 15 years of misery – I don’t care who is injured. Pegula is the worst owner in professional sports and Adams is more qualified to be in a Beavis and Butthead movie than in an NHL office
Lindy is too soft on his players, 3rd period limit ice time on his top players (benching). Why 3 goalis, waive one & bring up your top prospect, guess who & play him.(LEVI). Only way to change management is dont Buy TICKETS!
The entire Sabres organization is out of excuses. They are the biggest laughingstock in pro sports. Adams MUST GO!
Every time Adams talks to the media. The first question for him should be “ Kevyn, how do you still have a job?”
You heard here first! Sabres 3 Avs 2. Their pride and dignity as professionals will shock the world tonight!
This is a sinking ship. The more the team fails, the more management hold more value to these pieces than any other team in the league does. I won't give up on the Sabres but I have given up on management 2 years ago. The fact that the AHL line had to get things done, and the veterans still could not only play enough defense to keep a 2 goal lead, but give up 4 goals in the 3rd…makes me wonder if the "talent" here even get reprecussions. You make 1 mistake in a game and if it results in a goal…repercussions. Rochesters Coach Leone on Levi was the only bright spot I saw in all of this whole broad spectrum of this pro level management.
We folded like a lawn chair last night. Sabre player couldn't wait to get the puck off there sticks 2 NO WHERE .
FIRE LINDY AND ADAMS!!!!
The new stadium and all the bs im over jooville Terry will be TP and its all ass vapor. Terry sucks
I'm ready for the Sabres to drop out and retire forever. This team doesn't deserve any sympathy or fans. No matter what they try, no matter who they hire, they will always be a vector for depression. Go away and never come back Sabres, you will be easy to forget.
I've been a fan since early 90s I don't know what to think anymore. Management is not giving Lindy the players that's what I see
