You know it is frustrating to me that people don't get it. Especially people who are Bills fans. The Sabres have NO leadership. The Sabres don't hold each other responsible for their actions on the ice. We arguably one of the greatest coaches in NHL. But the worst GM in NHL HISTORY and ownership that has basically overstepped his ability and knowledge of the game. The silent Jerry Jones of the NHL. The Sabres need have to hire a experienced GM hire a scouting staff so they can speak with players just not watch high light reals. And tell Terry to sit back be a fan and write checks. Until that happens this team will be the AZ of the north.

I watch these games now with the intensity of a preseason game. They mean nothing. I watch trying to figure out who is going to be around next season.

[@catinashoe]

Crazy how the Sabres used to be horrid in the 1st period and good in the 3rd. They literally flip flopped.

[@wayne387]

It’s to bad a certain someone missed the bid by 4 million. No way if he got this franchise it would be like this. You guys can blame players and coaches but this failure is on Terry. It’s a shame

[@Sabres1970]

Our PP was so awful last night. Omgosh 0-6 , short-handed goal given up , several opportunities for the flames to score short-handed. WTFFFFFFFRIGGGGGGGGGGGGG flames were more dangerous than us on the PP vs PK

[@AAA-o4g]

​​What do you expect from a team who's "stars" score sporadically and have feeble Back checking and defense

[@Bulletisred]

Well kind of tough getting top line/tier players when they don't want to come here.

[@wyomingtrout5581]

The Sabres were entertaining last night and maybe deserved better for their efforts. UPL wants the 2nd goal back. Maybe something to build on. We need a glimmer of hope

[@robthompson335]

If you had to pick the best lineup the current Sabres could put on the ice…what would that look like?

[@ancalagon18]

Looks like you are finally cluing in. These guys aren't nearly good enough.

[@miketee8415]

Maybe the Sabres don't really start strong, perhaps their opponents start weak cause they think "it's just the Sabres". After all, it seems most teams have no problem picking it up and taking over most games.

[@fredr-t8334]

That’s been nothin new, under granato and ruff

[@mikehartl8665]

What were Jokiharu and Power doing on the 2nd and 3rd Calgary goals?!?!

[@user-gg1gb8pr9djrkscbsnotabot]

shhhh you can’t say anything bad about golden boy power. He deserves his skinner contract.

[@AAA-o4g]

Come on man,Jokiharu and Power were on the ice

[@user-gg1gb8pr9djrkscbsnotabot]

@@AAA-o4g power was a -2 last game.

[@AAA-o4g]

@ owen no power is young and needs time to learn the basics of playing defense. ( Being sarcastic )

[@user-gg1gb8pr9djrkscbsnotabot]

@ I’ve seen enough. If he was 5’11-6’0 he wouldn’t even be in the league. He’s 6’6 and records 0 hits and screens his own goalie. He’s actively hurts his team everytime he steps on the ice

[@johnmanley2891]

I agree they need leadership but they need so much more. Watching this organization over the last few years they are terrible skaters as a group. Never see a professional team that falls as much. Maybe they should hire a skating coach. This group struggles making passes and receiving passes unless their feet are not moving. So many weakness this organization has. Where do you start ? Is there a hidden problem that this team may have? Seems many trades they make and those players have success in other organizations. This organization needs HELP !

[@JohnBossey-x1k]

If your not a good defender you are not even close to a great player,teams score at will on these so called great players

[@davidhapka5410]

What is the point? As long as Terry Pegula owns this team, it will suck. Doesn't matter who the GM is, who the coach is, or who's on the ice...THEY'RE 💩

[@duanek6051]

Excellent content and podcast today

[@Mic-yq1rw]

The need that Chris Drury type of leader on the ice with that intensity to get them to care about, push and elevate their defensive games a few notches. Maybe f-it make Benson the captain and see what happens. What do they have to lose at this point? Cozens is good but doesnt have the leadership intensity. The only guys i could see for that are Peterka, Benson, Kulich, Power or maybe Mcleod, and i raalize that seems far fetched but they are dead last who cares at this point. I dont even think Dahlin or Cozens would care.... Benson or Kulich for captain is intriguing... Just to see what would happen.
