wow, it doesn't take long for everyone to start *****ing

it's a good thing that most of you guys arent on the sabres, because everytime you lose a game, you give up. how come when we get trounced in one game, the season is over. we still have almost a quarter of the year to go. the playoffs arent decided in one night, and no team is going to win every game that they need to. especially games against the best team in the league over the last decade. everyone was jumping on the bandwagon during the last month when the team played amazing and they were good enough to climb 3 spots in the conference and come back from big defecits, but now the team isnt good enough? now we need to make a bunch of trades and give up on the season? I'm tired as hell of all you fair-weathered fans. I bet this friday you will see a team playing one of their best games of the season. Then everyone is going to be back on the bandwagon. Just be happy with the team that we have because we almost didnt have one this year in the first place. Have a little faith in your team.

Yeah yippy we have a bunch of pansies playing defense for us woo-hoo!

It's obvious lately that we don't match up well against the Bruins, Isles, or Devils.

The only games in this up coming stretch where we have a chance is against Ottawa because they are almost as soft as the Sabres are.

the season was over before it started.

O ye of little faith...

NYI, NJ, NYI and Ottawa...this four game stretch will prove what we don't have.

Then Ottawa again, Leafs, and St. Louis.

Stick a fork in em. They're done. They are sellers at the trading deadline, not buyers.

I've been *****ing about this team for the last two years. If you want to settle for mediocre play with an occasional spurt like they had for the last two weeks then be my guest. I knew that it was just going to be a matter of time before they returned to their usual underachieving and uninspired form. Just because we STILL HAVE a team in Buffalo doesn't mean that we have to put on our rose-colored glasses and settle for every little mini-fragment of bone they throw our way. This team has some major issues and they haven't made the playoffs in almost as long as they Bills have...so if that floats your boat then enjoy I will continue to firmly believe that until we get a new coach in here with a new coaching philosophy we will continue to underachieve and suck.

I can't disagree...the only problem is that if you listen to most fans (at least those who call into shows--small pool I know) all they want is a bunch of brawlers and hackers...toughness has nothing to do with fighting. Give me a team that is tough in the corners and tough on defense and scores 3 or 4 goals a game and I don't ever need to see a fight.

A quarter of the season left? Last time I checked my calender there was only one month left and that doesn't constitute a quarter. The way the Sabres played in the first 4 months of the season, every game is critical. I know that they aren't going to win every game, but damn, at least show up and have a chance to winning a game. In case you missed the last two games, they never got off the bus.

And if you want to be in the playoffs, you have to expect to beat the best teams once in a while to do it.

I've been *****ing about how soft they are since the game where Konowalchuk kicked the crap out of Peca at the end of a game and not one of his teammates lifted a finger to help.

You see that kid on the Devils who went after Mair when he ran Brodeur? That's what we need.

I see your not describing the Sabres in this post.

I remeber that...it was sickening. That's what happens when you have candyasses like Brown and Satan on your team. I would like to see them go after Witt from Washington however that would go against Regier's dream of molding the softest team in the NHL.

I'm praying for a year long lock out...then DR gets canned.
