The Buffalo Sabres Are The NHL's Biggest JOKE | FN Barn Burner

The Sabres never drafted or traded for players who have Grit, Spunk, or known for being aggressive since Darcy Regier. Adams paid out too much money too soon and has too much trust in them. Pegula has too much trust in Adams. Pegula should pay out and get maybe Ken Holland and let HIM run everything. (wishful thinking) All the opponent has to do is play physical against the Sabres. Its like kryptonite to them

Atleast Buffalo is consistent.
Consistency is key. 😂😂😂

Sabres franchise is just toxic in general.14 season playoff drought.

Buffalo, Detroit and Ottawa are why I don’t believe in the “rebuild” process

We beat Medicare !

Pegula's total focus right now is the high-flying Bills. He only stopped by the Sabre's to wish them Happy Holidays. Nothing will happen for the Sabres until the Bills are done.

you're the dumbest hockey person alive if you think Ruff isnt the lone bright spot in the organization right now. hes the only one taking accountability, when he has little fault. Its not his system, when they play his system they were playing well. The players have 0 hockey IQ

I can’t stand people who wanna talk about the past trades the Sabres did especially about Eichel when they don’t even know what they’re talking about. Jack Eichel asked to be traded the year before he had that injury. He already wanted out and people conveniently forget that when they wanna talk about Buffalo getting rid of him, he already asked for a trade the year before he already wanted to be out before he was injured so he was leaving one way or the other.

The Sabres are Terry Pegula’s hobby farm, No more than that…..

Terry Pegula has meddled with the Sabres since day 1. He's the gorilla in the room and no one dares speak up against him unless they want to end up like Pat LaFontaine. Buffalo has suffered because of Pegula, who treats the franchise like a loss leader of the Bills. After being a HC for 25 years, Ruff wasn't allowed to choose his own assistants.

Kevyn Adams cant make a trade because no one will waive fot Buffalo

ruff did a pay cut?

Its not the players, coach, hell even the GM.......its the lack of a team president/hockey ops. Start there and rebuild the ENTIRE front office. 👍👍

Zack Benson is legit. Like a dog on a bone.

Seems like pegula doesn’t give a damn about the Sabres, because his football team makes a lot more money. This is just an observation from a Panthers fan. I want the Sabres to succeed, because their fans deserve it. I’m really happy to have Reinhart, wouldn’t have a cup without him.

Pegula has his own cap and theyre at it. Trading Cozens isnt the answer. Your top trade bait should be powers. No matter who he trades , their going to become a star as soon as they get to the new team. The PRESSURE is off

Adams committed big money, long-term to several players, most of whom have been a total bust. Tage Thompson is a success, Owen Power is still a question mark, and Dylan Cozens and Mattias Samuelsson are awful.

Eichel hasn't "bloomed" in Vegas. He actually scored more goals and points in Buffalo. But most importantly - he's got better players around him in Vegas and he's not expected to be a leader.

FIRE KEVYN ADAMS

Let’s be realistic. Blown leads vs Colorado Detroit and Toronto and they at playoff line. Get some grit on the team. Incredibly soft.

TBO i dont think Byram should be in the talk of being "Part of the Problem"
Hes been their best damn iMO. i get hes not perfect but he has deff stepped up and has been stepping up all season , if guys around him could finish plays already . Power although he has had good production his turnovers and being stripped off the puck game after game is crazy ! Being that big of a dman he should be feared by other teams🤷 hes a big old pussy cat and is afraid to get dirty

Power, Joki, and Samuelson have all regressed since last year. Power is an absolute defensive liability. It's pathetic.

As a Sabres fan, I am willing to "stick a fork in em"... They are done lol. We've played this game before... Actually been playing it for 14 years now.

I couldn't agree more on the assistant coaches need to get fired

The sabres 'promote from within', and the next HC will be Seth Asshat, which will be terrible for the club. Its a hopeless situation

Sabres really do have talent, real talent, and the makings of a team! I watch them all the time, and always root for them. I think Lindy Ruff has done a good job! So many close games, and just need a bit more chemistry I believe...

You have an owner who is so concerned about the stadium overages. He’s responsible for for the bills. He’s fucking over the hockey team. The fact he bought him for 189 million and now they’re worth just short of 1 billion. Doesn’t seem to matter it’s how much money can the guy die with. Puts his wife in control having never done anything close to building anything in her entire life. You’re in charge of the hockey operation drives it straight in the ground. They all want Adams to do something he can only do what the owner allows him, which is jack shit

Let's beat the record and go for 20 in a row

The Sabres have been broken. The same thing happened right before Lindy was fired over a decade ago. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Well, that is what we have. Poogoola was insane to hire a coach that was fired. Now he has the same dilemma as before. Going for 11 losses in a row and counting. Time to clean house and fire Kevyn, Lindy, the ass"istant" coaches...and anyone else associated with the 13 year old fiasco.

I've been saying the same thing for years. Terry and his doofus wife should be making 0 personnel decisions. Do what you did with the bills. Bring in people that know wtf they are doing and leave it alone. You brought Lindy back but wouldn't even let him hire his own assistants? It's no wonder Pat Lafontaine was around for such a short period of time and realized what a shit show it was with bozo and his wife calling the shots.

Gretzy said it was a mickey mouse franchise when he was playing.

As a fan I’m glad the players told the team owner to go F himself as opposed to just us like usual last night in Montreal, AND we didn’t have to pay money for that effort. 44-50-8 at home since 2022. The next home game will be in front of 18,000 leafs fans. The fact that KA still has a job is astounding. Btw the owner hasn’t spoken to fans in 5 years.

Its actually the opposite. He is incredibly hands on with the Sabres. The Bills front office actually succeeded in getting him to basically stay out of the day to day operations. He is there for photos and stuff but not in the day to day decision making. Pegula is directly involved in the day to day of the hockey club

The sabres are a complete joke

Pegula is the problem .. the onyl year they made the playoffs was the year he bought it so at that point they were already in and ehaded towards the playoffs anywa skip to 2012 where the streak begins they get to know him and the way he runs things and thevyre been basement dwellers ever since.. HES the Problem.. its not kevin adams, Lindy ruff or the players its PEgula.. SELL TEH TEAM and if Buffalo cared abotut ehri team theyd be calling for this baffoon to sell to seomone who actually wants or knows how to win..this guy just wants money.. he knows nothing about hockey , he onyl went to Montreal to suck the last bit of life or hopes out of this team that they had of ever winning anything or that game... get rid of this guy.. Im Canadian i live about an hr away been a lifelong sabre fan this tema is the worst in the nhl.. Pegula is the problem.. get rid of him and the healing or comeback starts... they havent made the playoffs wiht him a full season Owning the team that should tell you eveyrthing you need to know..ITS HIM

sad thign is Pegula owns the Rochester AMericans too. hes going to gut their farm team too if he hasnt already

2 aspects of Sabres, more recent past, that I miss: 1) just after the shortened season lockout, the league had implemented some new rules. It seemed the Sabres were the only team that read the rule book. No team could stop the Sabres. Then Toronto figured a way. To curtail the Sabres, Toronto could only slow the Sabres down was to take them to & against the boards. Both teams were quick. This worked. Other teams soon applied same tactics. They too worked. It was like watching all other teams finally reading the newly added rules like the Sabres had done from the get go. -- 2) the talent of the original black and red era. I'd seen a few times where the Sabres movements actually faked out the cameraman!!! The boys were flowing naturally and having fun! It was evident when one could see players smiling during gameplay. *My favorite was Brian Campbell skating in BACKWARDS during several games!

Its the Granato ICE DANCER effect. He wanted a non physical, high skill team and sadly, we have a mediocre skilled team of non physical players with minimal heart and perseverance. This team will only OPEN UP when you have a physical threat out there to keep other teams honest imo. Consider bringing in Mathieu Olivier, Kastelic, Duhaime, Jeannot or even Foligno. Somebody of that magnitude would go a long way imo. Just thinking out loud here. Our biggest net front presence in the smallest player on the team (Benson) because he is FEARLESS. The others just want to dance and look for that pretty play it seems. Pucks to the net, physical play, and team defense can turn this shit show around.

Terry can care less. It’s a write off let’s be real. It’s a written off ass a loss on the books

Saying JJ Peterka was drafted too high, as a second round pick, is fucking hilarious.
