Post-Game Talk (GBU): The Gee, P-U! Fire the staff time in B'lo. 9-4 loss to Columbus, 12/19/23

[KiwiGriff]

Nah, Ray has been a color commentator since 2012. if were flushing it all, let’s make sure we get rid of the oldest stuff as well.

Ray doesn’t make the team shit though.

 

[KiwiGriff]

Good: I was originally planning to come to North America late in this season and I’d have potentially been at the Sabres’ last home game of the regular season. I’d been thinking that might have been a great game as we go into the post season. The good in this is - my buddy can’t do 2024 so we rescheduled to 2025. I won’t be there at an empty dead-rubber game with no meaning.

Bad: I might be faced with the same scenarios in 2025.

Ugly: I might start watching other teams for a while and just give up on watching the Sabres. The Ducks aren’t overachieving but they’re at least fun to watch.

 

[DapperCam]

That is definitely a game that would get people fired on other teams. Especially considering the context of underperforming and the types of issues we’ve had (slow starts, inconsistent effort, bad PP). Not sure about our team though.

Berube just became available…

 

[BB79]

Well, at least they didn't string us along like they did in April before getting removed from playoff contention. They took care of it nice and early this year. Before Christmas even. Back to the norm. Makes me detest those spoiled Vegas fans even more, especially since they're getting the A's in a year, my 2nd favorite baseball franchise. Ugh. About to give up on sports altogether.

 

[Grinder44]

This team is so utterly fragile I'm not sure how they fix it.

My only thought is to go back to my old man's strategy of giving them all a "swift kick in the a--"!

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Sabres did not lose to the worst team in the Eastern conference.

Columbus defeated that team.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Don Granato - We were off tonight and it happens. It happens around the league.

What horse shit

Brandon Staley-esque.

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

Bad: Missed a lot of this one on the phone getting shitty news.

Bad: Saw Tage take one off the hand killing a penalty while the team was down 6-1. Coming back from a hand injury. That right there is a fire-worthy level of stupid.

Ugly: Even if the score was reversed I wouldn’t be able to give a shit tonight.

 

[debaser66]

unfortunately words don't make reality

 

[HaNotsri]

Granato is refusing to answer the questions and just answering the way he wants.

He wont even hold himself accountable.

The honest version would be: "We have a shit team and Adams won't do anything about it. Before every game I warm these turds up and spray them to get them moist and usually that keeps them sliding for about a period before they freeze and get stuck somewhere on the ice. After the game I carefully remove them by hacking the ice away around them, pick them up with silk gloves and warm them in toasted hotdog buns for their comfort. Then I give an inspirational speech to get them going for the next game. Be brave little turds!"

I will center my Buffalo trip around the Bills instead.

This team is a bunch of coddled high draft picks who need to get bullied.

No , thay are. They need to stand up and realize in hell, you can play honorable hockey bit you can't play pretty til your up 3 goals , IF you care about winning. and fight back to Edge bullying. Or quit

Don't leave. Just fight if u care for team. Call out nhl, Edge player tracking etc.

But IF team (sabres) won't fight back then you're right to leave it wont get better til they do along w all the abused in city and former inhabitants, .

 

[newfiejesus]

There's always next game.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

13 years of the same BS. We've been riding on a Merry Go-Round of futility that has never stopped. When it lasts this long you have no choice but to look at the owner. Time to sell the ride ,'Pegs. Or at least clean house. We need a change.

 

[Mattilaus]

I always find it hard to completely give up on the Sabres. After these bad stretches I keep saying, "no point in watching" or "I think i will just not watch the next couple" but low and behold I end up right there in my chair next game giving them another shot.

But f*** if they aren't REALLY giving it a good try right now to get me to stop watching completely.

 

[start winnin]

No , thay are. They need to stand up and realize in hell, you can play honorable hockey bit you can't play pretty til your up 3 goals , IF you care about winning. and fight back to Edge bullying. Or quit

I think they already quit by the looks of the game last night, bunch of losers with no spine

 

[Gabrielor]

Good -

- Hey, they actually led early!
- For the faceoff fetishists - they were best at the dot tonight! 35-29 sure means something, right?

Bad -

- Almost everything else.

Ugly -

- Am approaching the don't give a f*** stage. I may not be back.

Embrace it. I'm done caring until they do.

 

[Matt Ress]

Then get guys who won't do their job the f*** out.

But it's also on the coaching staff for not holding players accountable. Bench someone. Trade someone. Prove that it actually f***ing matters.

 

[slip]

Brandon Staley-esque.

Sabres version:

"13 year playoff droughts happen. I don't need to retrace history, but it's part of sports. Sometimes there are decades (or two, or six) when it doesn't go right. None of it. And you got to put it behind you and move on to the next century"

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Not a bad decade by the Buffalo Sabres.

 

[Reddawg]

G: I decided to watch something else after the 1st period


Adams needs to be fired, and the new GM should get to pick his new coach.

VG: I decided to watch something else before the 1st period

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

The terribly hideous...i think i am walking away for the rest of the season. I have cared too much for a team that only intermittently cares back. Games like last night's break my heart and i am done wasting my time and my energy and my emotions.

 

[OkimLom]

Ray doesn’t make the team shit though.

He's the terrible narrator of this cruel story they are telling. I want it all washed out for the sanity of all my senses.
