Video: Sabres' Tage Thompson Tired of Talking About Losing in Buffalo

The 2025-26 NHL season is only a few games old and already the sky is starting to fall on the Buffalo Sabres.

The Sabres are 0-3-0 to start the season and look like a team destined for the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes. They've scored just two goals in three games and have allowed 10 goals, with nobody on their roster with more than one point between the first three contests.

Sabres star Tage Thompson has done nothing but lose in Buffalo and he's getting sick and tired of it. It's on surprise to see how the vibes are around the Sabres right now and if this losing continues, there could be some major changes on the way and it's likely going to start with the GM.

Back to Thompson, he's scored one goal in three games and despite goaltender Alex Lyon having a .919 save percentage, the Sabres don't even have a point through the first week and a half of the season. Thompson spoke after the Sabres most recent loss and it's become quite obvious things are getting late early in Buffalo this season:

The #Sabres are 0-3. I asked Tage Thompson what the morale is in the locker room.

"It's not a good morale when you're losing... Can't keep looking back, the last 3 games, the last 4 seasons, the last 14 seasons... what's done is done. I'm tired of talking about the past."@WGRZ pic.twitter.com/NGjBHA0Hcj

Thompson has four more seasons left on his contract at $7.1 million AAV, and owns a five team no-trade list this season. It will be interesting to watch if teams start reaching out before the trade deadline and find a way to snag him away from the struggling franchise.

Sabres defenceman Rasmus Dahlin tried to one-up Thompson after the game with his quote, as it's getting ugly in Buffalo. 

"It's not good enough," Dahlin told reporters postgame. "A lot of the areas. Better start today, worse ending. Not good power play, good PK, good goaltending - we just can't catch a break. We got to get out of this bullshit."
