They are not primadonna's. Look up the meaning. Jack Eichel is a primadonna. These kids are not.

Soft? Sure. I'd agree w that.

They need a Joe Crozier type coach... You play like they do in a game then the next day there is a nice 2 hour sprint marathon minus sticks and gloves.... You don't want to work during the game then you will work very hard during practice...

The Sabres optimists have to talk the typical bridge jumpers off the ledge.

There were definitely a contingent of fans that just wanted entertaining hockey recently.

I break this down as year 2. Since tanking for power #1OA.

No excuse for 7-0 at home though šŸ˜

Stop going to the games, Pegula doesnā€™t care whose fans are in the building just as long as itā€™s filled. Plain and simple stop going, this is a disgrace.

100% this. Itā€™s a disgrace that theyā€˜ve decided to tank now.

To who?

Most everyone on their team has played in 60 or more games.

The honeymoon is over in Detroit.

Ottawa has lost 5 in a row.

The Sabres have their problems, but everyone who said that Detroit and Ottawa would lap us this year were wrong.

What honeymoon, there in the same place Buffalo is.

Thea Sabres are 16 months removed from trading their franchise Center and essentially starting over.

As nice as it would have been to end the drought this year, it doesnā€™t mean this season was a waste.

At least we arenā€™t Ottawa sitting here without a draft pick until the 4th round and moving 800 draft picks in the last calendar year (including two top 15 picks) to be sitting in the exact same spot we are.

- Swedish_Jesus

Iā€™m sorry, I get it, I truly do.

I just do not care about this stuff anymore. I donā€™t. Many of us donā€™t anymore.

I donā€™t care about Ottawa. I donā€™t care about Matt Savoie. I donā€™t care how long ago we traded Eichel

I care about wins now. Thatā€™s it.

At the 10 spot I like Eduard Sale, he sounds like exactly what this team needs.

We are picking top 10 and can't pass up someone as talented as him at that spot.

Trade for defense.

Heā€™s a smooth skater who is noticeable in transition for both his ability to weave up ice and facilitate and also his ability to create breakaways for himself and beat goalies one-on-one. Heā€™s got superb vision and ranks among the best in the class at dissecting coverage as a passer. I love him on the half-wall/point on the PP with his ability to hit east-west seams (he just seems to see every lane and opening). He can slow it down and pick things apart or hurry up his passes through holes. He has shown a knack for making big plays at big moments. The athletic

This is a burden you put on yourself, as a fan.

Not saying this in a mean way. At all...

You just put lofty expectations on something unrealistic

Unfortunately, this isn't the 70s. These kids today don't respond to that. It has to come from them.

Expecting the team to at least compete at crunch time is unrealistic?

Personally... The way they are playing they really ought to just forfeit the rest of they way... The games are meaningless and they really aren't even showing up

Being competitive as you're suggesting, is different then ranting about just wanting wins.

I went to the game today. Dont paint me as happy with the state of the team today. It sucked.

Although I still enjoyed the company at the game.

Iā€™m with you there.

I came into this season expecting them to ultimately fall short but play meaningful games down the stretch, mission accomplished.

The last two games, and the Dallas game, are inexcusable though.

What a load of nonsense. They can't even beat Philly and CBJ when it counts and you want us to suck it up and accept it as growing pains?
