6 in 9, huh? There's one thing worse than watching a low-talent hockey team and that's watching a tired, low-talent hockey team. 

 

It hasn't been much fun to watch this team and I suspect it won't get much better any time soon.  Too many holes.

What, no Matty Mo? How will we ever keep up with their 4th line skaters now?

why did we have to sign okposo. !@#$ing tim murray !@#$ed up the tank. so many assets gone to waste. hopefully mcbean doesnt mess up on their assets. 

gotta say, i was all for the signing. Know it did not work now, but all hindsight. I also like #26 signing back, thought it said Buffalo was a great place to play and would attract other free agents!

Damn do the Sabres suck!! 

 

Its like they they don't know how to do the most basic things in hockey. 

 

They cant transition through the neutral zone to save their lives. Can't enter or set up in the offensive zone. Don't know how to create scoring chances... 

 

Its ugly to watch. The compete level is horrendous. 

 

I watched every damn game through the tank years, when we literally had almost no NHL talent on the ice. Never lost interest. But this season is testing me. I honestly don't know how much more of this I can watch. They seem to have accepted losing. They go down by a goal and the game is all but over it seems.
