The worst thing about this disappointing season has been the total retoxicification of this board. Back to bickering and being shitty all the time I guess? I get it, watching these guys wave sticks and twirl around in the D zone night after soul sucking night wears on you and shortens your patience. That's why I recommend just not f***ing watching. It isn't good for you. It's not healthy. Take a break. Take a breath. Being abjectly miserable because you never miss a game is not some badge of honor. After 14 years, we've all earned the right to take a walk. Just my opinion, do what you want, but there's no sense in throwing good time after bad.

Literally have people creating accounts so they can be toxic on a board as an outlet bc they’re making their friends / wives / family miserable too by talking about it every day.

Kings head coach Todd McLellan calls out team’s ‘stupidity’ in loss to Sabres
The Kings have lost 10 of 12 games in January and are in danger of falling out of the Western...
www.dailyfaceoff.com
I thought Levi was sent down? Shows how much I pay attention these days. They're going to ruin him. 3 goals in the first 10 minutes looked like he might get the hook.. We may have only won because the Kings are flailing right now. Watching the highlights it felt like we had some puck luck in the scoring

I mean, yeah, it's crushing to be carrying all this disappointment all the time. I'm glad people have this outlet, but I wish they'd just let the team go. True story, I let the Bills go completely. I didnt watch a single game all year, after not missing a single one for like 15, the year Tyrod took the to the playoffs. I made the Bills have to win me back. And it was fine. I didn't feel bad or guilty about taking the season off. I felt relieved.
Kings coach after game
The stupidity that went into that loss is beyond explainable,” said McLellan, who is in his fifth season with the Kings. “When you look at the team that played the first 25-30 games, if you will, it doesn’t look like the team that’s playing right now, and I’m responsible for it.”
With the loss, the Kings have now dropped 12 of 14 games.

Kings coach again
That’s unacceptable. We’re up 3-1. We’re maybe not playing our best, but the stupidity that went into that loss is unexplainable,” McLellan said. “I haven’t until now been able to come in and say ‘boy, we played really dumb.’ And that’s what we did.”

Good advice
To be frank with you, best chance to get the Sabres to make changes is with your wallet, tv viewership numbers and plummeting ticket sales and prices.
Only thing that is understood.
It just hurts more that they were supposed to be competing for a playoff spot this year. Sucked so many in and lack of “give a shot” by the team and lack of changes to correct both coaching and organizational has frustrated many a fan
But we should not be taking it out by being disrespectful to fellow fans.

Also, at the end of the night Levi with a respectable .925 save % with a lot of high danger chances against.
The only goal that I really didn’t like was goal #3. He wasn’t on his angle when the pass went from the corner to the slot, which left the far side open. All-in-all, he outperformed the other goaltender and made some big saves while it was tied.

Our record in games where nobody is watching must pretty good—Late night after a horrific loss, holiday weekends and Bills game days. If anyone is watching…yikes

I do find it relatively humorous, going into opposing teams boards and reading their reactions after losing to us. I may not care about us winning because it's too late for the season, but there is still something comforting about seeing other fans flip out over losing to the down and out Sabres.

In fairness to Kings fans, they've lost 12 of 14. I don't think it's only losing to us that they're freaking about.
Personally, I've always liked McClellan as a coach. So when he complains about the dumb ass play of his players (which means they aren't playing his system and aren't listening) and then Doughty (who I am not a fan of) calls out the selfishness in the locker room, I look at the Sabres and come to the conclusion that no matter how clueless Granato and Ellis, etc are, the problem is really with the players.
And this has been the case during the entire Pegula rein. Management has not taken control and insisted on conformance and consistency in performance (since Ruff). The players obviously are in this for themselves versus each other and the team.
The players who have left the organization are leading by example. If I am not happy, I am moving on.... to better things. (Skinner is a case of doing the same thing leaving Carolina. Purely for selfish reasons.)
Why wouldn't todays Sabres adopt that same philosophy?
Compare that to the hard ass approach taken by Jared Bednar and exemplified by Nathan MacKinnon..........

It’s a bizarre move to suddenly show up and be this combative with one of our longest tenured posters and expect to be well received.
You’re getting push back because you’re taking a night a player sustained an injury as the opportunity to shit all over him. A player most regard highly around here, for having to endure the worst era of the Sabres his entire career and still giving a more consistent effort than the vast majority of other players who’ve cycled in and out of this tire fire.
The thing is, if you presented a less antagonistic argument that didn’t seem based in vitriol against the player (and didn’t openly relish in his injury), and instead argued that the team needs more difference makers and less Girgs style players whose entire value is derived from the fact that nothing happens when they’re on the ice, you’d probably find many who’d agree with you.

I don't like Skinner but RBA wanted him shipped out the second he took the job. So not sure how you're saying Skinner is the one that forced himself out.

I'm already there, I wake up and check the score, if it's a win I watch the 10 minute game recap upload on YouTube from the NHL and then go about my day.
In truth I would love to see the Sabres make them playoffs but at this point, winning Celebrini would be healthier for this team in the long run.

You are leaving out the most important part. Pegula wants people who want to be here and with a coach that has no accountability Skinner is loving being here.
