Pete Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 For me as a sports fan, I love when my team (Bills,Sabres, Yanks) is turning the corner quickly, from bad seasons. I love when you watch then all along, then suddenly notice that that your team now has young skilled players all over, and that their arrows are all pointing up, that there will be a sea change, your team is rising from the rough years. I sensed that on 1988 Bills 1994 Yanks 1994 Bills 2020 Bills 2021 Sabres I read the Sabres have nine 1st round draft picks under 22 years of age. My understanding is the Sabres have three 1st round picks, and two 2nd round picks in this years draft, which is supposed to be loaded with great players The Sabres have 2 young hot shot goalie prospects We have Cap space galore Good role models Beane/McDermott. Good owners. Awesome fans that stuck with them, that are starved for great Sabres teams. Start winning, holy hell, Bills mafia will crash Sabres party- Buffalo would be rocking! Let's go Buffalo! 1 1 1

This road trip caused the Sabres to go to pieces. From the 2nd period of the Kings game to last night. I hope it's fixable. 1 1

My hope is they can stay in the race til Tuch and the others come back from injury.

I don't know how much Olofsson and Joki would have helped. Buffalo got dominated in that game. Sabres sustained almost no pressure or offensive zone possession all night, generated few quality scoring chances, and got killed by Seattle's speed in transition. They were beat in all facets of the game. 1

Donnie Meatballs never fails to explain the issue in easy terms. Lack of poise and it was obvious. We were like Darnold seeing his ghosts.

Good owners. Awesome fans that stuck with them, that are starved for great Sabres teams. Start winning, holy hell, Bills mafia will crash Sabres party- Buffalo would be rocking! Let's go Buffalo! I am cautiously optimistic. They are rebooting yet again because 1) They tore down in the tank years too severely, 2) Then they tried shortcuts through FA and trading away draft picks like candy for veterans that didn't work out. It takes years to develop a goalie. Portillo and Levi give one hope, but they are probably three years out best case scenario. Next year, they have to bring in some good stop gap goalies, have to. This year, we are trying to develop the young fellas and land a top three draft pick. Not exactly a tank, but there's no way they can be good even with effort because there's not enough talent to be anything more. The Pegulas to this point have not been good hockey owners. They've meddled as opposed to the Bills where they ultimately stepped back and let McD and Beane establish a winning culture and do their thing. Hopefully Adams and Granato are the right hires. Patience is the only tenable strategy. Hard when you've had ten awful years.
