1. With the exception of the Vanek line and Miller, the Sabres stink. They're slow to the puck, can't pass, and many times seem disorganized
2. They got jobbed by the refs in the Sunday Boston game. The rat Marchand, (apologies to Linsman) pushes Erhof from behind, Erhof retaliates with a face wash and is penalized, nothing to the rat.
3. Sabres don't play smart. While on the rat penalty, the defensman crosschecks a bruin into the boards to bring about the 5 on 3. The final dagger comes when the rat scores.
4. They average 34 shots against, near the bottom of the league.
5. Myers and Leopold are terrible. With so much promise, what happened to Myers?
6. I hate to say it but I think part of the problem is a coaching failure.
7. The Hockey Nazi to the Sabres: 'No Playoffs For You.'

Wasn't Ehrhoff, it was Ott.

Our D is terrible, we have no problem's really scoring goals, it's obvious. More of our forwards are starting to score, it's the damn D that suck. They've been getting better with the readditions of Sekera and Regher, but we desperately need Leopold benched. I'm for giving Myers the start again, his last few games it looked like he really started to not suck as bad.

Still a bit early to rule out the playoffs. We aren't last in the league, we were tied at 8th with 11 points before yesterday's loss. And the Flyers are losing now so they won't jump over us. And hopefully Carolina loses too.

Hell, we're one point right now away from being top 8.

we suck.

1. millers been spectacular some nights and other nights it seems that lalime is back in net.

2. our D on paper should rival some of the best in the league but we absolutely stink. I honestly have no clue why or how Leopold is still playing without being benched; by far our worst d-man thank god he's UFA at July 1st.

3. Besides Vanek honestly there has been no plus.

On espn some guy asks Pierre Lebrun who the biggest dissappointment in the league is thus far and he said the buffalo sabres. he also said he talked to darcy and said that darcy is working the phones trying to get something going.

Darcy is getting something going huh? How about a new fucking coach?

I've already lost all hope of a new coach. Regier is as blind as the rest of them. He's already said no new coach.

Yet a good percentage of fans (who fill the seats) think a new coach is needed. I am one of them

Its been worrisome for sure. Yeah, it is a young team, but our defense should've been a strength

Young team?

The youngest fucking team in the league last year won the cup.

Young team isn't a fucking excuse anymore.

wtf, who are we gonna swap in or out that is gonna make that much of a difference? We have a culture of 'meh' here that covers us like some sort of ectoplasmic goo. like from ghostbusters.

Change at the top will be needed, something drastic.

At LEAST Ruff.

Although, i'm not sure how much higher they could go, seeing as how they just extended regier.

Time for a new Pope! Let's take it straight to the top!

This.

The Blue Jackets are the first to try an European GM. Nobody knows if it works, but they suck for a very long time now and at least they seem to try and find a solution and try somebody new.

I honestly just felt the need to come back to this thread to mention that I think the Sabres really suck this year. That is all.

We need some Angels in the Outfield type stuff going down soon...

Right now we need more than Angels....

This.

Year in and year out I watch Lindy suck the life out of players. Grigorenko would be lighting it up in any other system. Vanek is playing well in spite of Lindy, not because of him.
How many players have come here and turned into duds? Every year, same thing. What is the fucking deal?? Does Ruff have pics of Darcy with the skate sharpening boy or something?? I mean seriously. The Sabres are turning into the Bills. Lindy is like the Sabres version of Fitz.
