Kassian is fucking sweet. That is all.
Lol one of my tweets was “Kassian…that’s all”. I saw you at the ranger game btw.
HAHAHAH
Love that episode…Sabres just look absolutely awful.
They are awful. If I was Pegula, I would be mortified and pissed all at the same time.
Fire everyone, start fresh. What do you have to lose? NOTHING.
This team is fucking pitiful. We wouldn’t win a best of 7 series against the fucking Blue Jackets. I’m so sick of people blaming it on injuries. The players filling in are better than the injured ones. McNabb has played better than Erhoff. Why the fuck do you give a guy like Kaleta ice time, but send Kassian back? This shit is so fucking ass backwards, I’m glad I have the Hawks to fall back on.
I’ve been saying it for games now…Why is Kaleta on this team? What purpose does he serve? Hits?..McNabb has had some beauties this year and hasn’t gotten suspended for it or penalized. Penalty kill? Anyone can penalty kill…next! Fighting? Kaleta couldn’t fight to start with, Both Finley and Kassian have had better fights. This team needs a kick in the dick so hard.
I really wish that could be done. Injuries have nothing to do with how bad they are playing, injuries dont turn the puck over constantly
Is Lindy still coach? Yeah, ok then…:io:
The team needs a serious overhaul, this lineup is not working
Yea it’s Kaleta that is ruining the team lol
^Definitely not, but he’s a waste of money as this point.
While I can understand the dislike some people have for Kaleta. I can think of a few that should be on the list before him
Grangani
Leino
Ellis
Kaleta is a marked man in the NHL though, 3 charging penalties in 4 games? 2 of which shouldn’t have been a call, one of which was definitely interference… but hey, here’s the EXACT SAME HIT, in a playoff game no less, and it wasn’t called interference, much less charging.
(skip to 6:30)
But yes, the team looks fucking miserable, the season is over, and they need to take a serious look at what the fuck is going on.
On a happy note, I’m hoping they start the season with Kassian and McNabb next year, they both look solid.
Ellis is a solid player. He’s not a Thomas Vanek or Pomminville as far as scoring, but he’s always skating hard, always forechecking and backchecking hard. He’s probably the hardest working Sabre right now. He also stood up for Gerbe and fought Marc-Andre Bourdon. He was first to challenge him even though he isn’t a fighter. The guy plays for the team. Leino is a good player, I’m just not sure what his deal is, he probably needs to be on the wing with a good center feeding him pucks. Gragnani impressed me last year, this year he’s a tire fire. Why he continues to play over McNabb/Weber/Finley is beyond me. Well maybe not, that’s Lindy’s bad decision.
I don’t disagree Ellis is a hard worker, but he’s also a non factor on the ice 90% of the time.
Ok, didnt watch the game. Big changes need to be done though. Roy/Stafford/Miller/Lindy Ruff/Darcy Regier/and a few others.
Roy and Stafford are a hit or miss with performing… recently, they havent really been doing shit for us for the amount that we are paying them. Miller just blows like I always say, over rated goalie that no other team will care to take. If you still want to argue hes an amazing goalie, you are surely mistaken. Lindy needs to go, these guys are not performing together and he is not getting them to turn around and play. Its time for a change up because its been the same thing year after year coaching. You see teams can a coach after just a couple losses, time for us to kick that in gear. Darcy needs to be gone because well… he seems to be doing a shitty job getting the talent we need and keeping the right guys here and passing word, or getting the guys gone that need to be gone.
From there we can go on with others, but thats where I would start.
edit: I say get rid of the guys afraid to go into the corner first, or the ones that throw the puck away when they hear foot steps. Roy and Stafford are known to do this. I never see them in a corner first for the puck. I see way to man turn over by them. These guys are supposed to be goal scores and they cant put it in
I think Kaleta has actually stepped up in some of his roles this year. It’s good to see him killing penalties, someone had to fill Grier’s role there. Weber flat out sucks and I don’t know why he continues to play. Yes he’s a tough guy but he has no skill, turns over the puck repeatedly, and makes stupid plays when pressure is put on him. There are far better defensemen out there we could have (and need) that bring a tough physical presence without the lack of skills and level headedness.
Last thing I have to say is the excuse from Pegula is pathetic. Injuries or whatever else he wants to say, winners don’t make excuses. A team with plans of winning a Cup will not make an excuse.

Completely agree with all of this.
My thought is and hope is that the owner is waiting around to see this year who performs and who doesnt under his watch. After they fuck the season over, he will make the changes accordingly. But this is just becoming sad.
I also am under the impression…When I was growing up, we would have teams that you just didnt get along with some of the players on the team. Usually when this is the case, you find its harder to play together. Maybe these guys arent to fond of eachother.
