It's time for somebody's head to roll. Larry Quinn gave us a very unpopular logo and forced it on us.
Then the same guy decided that we don't need our team captains, any of them. So he convinced you to let JP Dumont, Jay McKee, Mike Grier, Danny Briere, Chris Drury and even Brian Campbell go. All 3 of the players wanted to be here and offered a fair price to sign them, basically just $5 million per year. However, Darcy Regier does not usually sign contracts a year in advance that often. He prefers to wait a bit. The team also doesn't like to do many long term deals, which has bit them in the ass at the same time.
Basically, the two of them have taken a team that was in the Eastern Conference Finals two years in a row, and also 1 period away from the Stanley Cup Finals and has ripped it apart!!! You had the Sabres fans eating out of your hands and loving you, loving the team and selling out the arena. Hell, you had fans watching the game outside in the cold, crappy weather, just so they can enjoy the Buffalo Sabres experience together.
Now, you have a team that is 4 points out of the playoffs and not playing good at all. Their confidence looks shot, the goalie looks worn out, the players are missing their leaders. The fans are upset, so you won't be selling all those season tickets that you sold over the last few years. You need to make a move and let everybody know that it will be okay.
So, IF these really were not your ideas and you didn't back them, the first thing you will do after the season is FIRE LARRY QUINN. Then hire someone else with hockey knowledge to help you run the team. Give Darcy Regier one more chance to see what he can go, or fire him too. Then it's time to start rebuilding this team to the Buffalo Sabres team that was the best in the league and the most exciting, even if you gotta move guys like Maxim Afinogenov. It's time for a change!

Returning to the blue and gold would have worked, if they tweaked the logo. It could have been like the different Sabres logos people were leaking out on the net. You know what, **** it! I'll delete that first paragraph. That's not my point anyways.
