I want Zac Brown so he can bring his band with him to provide some actual entertainment.

Per Sabres PR

lets unpack this before I speak. You say that: 1. He knows the team is not progressing 2. He is going home for “soul searching” 3. He will come back with an ultimatum How about this: 1. He now knows the team, any team, is not the most important part of his life. 2. He wants to be home to check on her, be with her, and let her know his true feelings, all of which will help both of them. 3. He will come back when he feels he can’t do any more, and he will be grateful for the support from the Sabres Team and organization.

well i suppose its time, i will throw my name into the mix. i've done pretty good making the sabres a cup winning team since nhl 97. thats a lot of gm experience and the team has been a dynasty since my taking over. i mean the bills have been on a similar run since madden 94, i'm just saying buffalo has been a powerhouse of winning every sport that i'm the gm of. i won't split my time though. i will focus on taking care of the sabres, though i will attend every bills game i can. someone get terry to make this happen.

We? Even before all of the injuries I didn't think the playoffs were likely. The schedule the rest of the month looks really tough. There's a pretty real possibility this team finishes the month in too big of a hole to get out of.

Right choice. (Understandably) he is clearly not able to fully focus. What you hope to see is the team stepping up, showing him he can focus on his home life without guilt, because they'll pick up the slack

Not really. Probably could if worst came to worst, but really don't want to go scrambling on a Friday evening looking for any. Website should work pretty much the same way as the app except after you sign in, click the "manage my tickets" in the top ribbon. You'll get "my events" listing all the tix you have. On the right side of the screen, across from the particular event, you'll see a box "view event details." Click "view event details" and towards the right of the screen beyond the "my safe tix" you'll see buttons to "transfer," "sell," or choose "more" options. Select transfer and it'll ask you who to transfer the tix to. Make that selection and then click "next" and it'll let you choose which seats to transfer. Click "next" or "continue" about 2 more times after that, and the transfer will have initiated like it would've from the app. And like with using the app, you can recall the tix anytime prior to the recipient accepting them.

I'd imagine its some combination of playing both C and W, and with a laundry list of players. Now onto the what 5th center he's played with? Norris, Kulich, Greenway, Östlund, Krebs. Off Wings have been Benson, Rosen, Doan, Tuch, zucker. Buffalo has played 14 games - the only consistent element to his game this season has been a total lack of cohesion with his linemates.

It’s God’s so speed ✌️

What are they paying Jarmo for then?

The problem I have is that UPL is just not mentally focused or prepared properly on a day-to-day basis and he really never has been outside of when he had to fight to make the Sabres roster or fight to earn a new contract. Things like that are far harder to change than improving skills. He would have to admit to himself that he is failing himself and most people's egos will never allow that to happen, they will blame someone or something else.

Hell, he won't just not get fired. He will get promoted along with Forton and Appert.

You cannot be serious.

I know we all want to blame the owner and GM but they don't play the games. When are the players held to account? Ras has his excuse. What's Tage's?

He (tuch and thompson too) has hit the post quite a few times this year.

My fear in all of this (from the hockey side) is that Adams/Pegula read this as a "doesn't want to be here". Much like ROR's end of season interview.

As much as I hate the Leafs I have to admit they drafted well. Fortunately some of those picks are now spread out around the league and not all in Toronto. Proving you can draft well and still screw it up.

Yes, definitely. Even further. Terry is the GM. He has a guy he likes push the papers around and do the day to day tasks but all the big decisions are his. Kev might negotiate but the trades as finalized go through Terry. They spin this as group decisions but Terry's the boss. He's in on all of it.

I don't disagree with you. But I think moments like these are pretty simple. "What the fork am I even doing here. I am not playing like myself, my buds aren't carrying the load, and I am getting boo'ed at home? And for what, so my wife can almost die all by herself. Peace, I am out, call me when you guys give a shirt?". (Hopefully he directs the "you guys" at Pegula and Adams)

C'mon, @LGR4GM. Spell it out for me. Your "thumbs down" isn't an explanation. Spell. It. Out. 48 hours ago we felt like the team was improving. As soon as they take a dump on the ice now we are giving up.

No, it's not based only on last night. I don't depend on this team for my happiness. I just set my expectations accordingly for what is clearly a flawed team, coaching staff, and front office.

Could be. But if Ras is being honest he knows why folks are booing. We also cheer loudly when they play well. And if he's REALLY being honest, he knows he's part of the reason things are going badly.

Do you want to take guests by any chance? And I don't have the app. This is just website.

@Doohickie You post reminding me of a great movie (Blinded by the Light) based on a true story of a Pakastani kid who discovers the music of Bruce Springsteen and inspires him to turn his life around. It's a great feel-good musical movie. I, too, am not a fan of Bruce Springsteen the man in real life, but I do love his art. Born to Run album was a high school anthem for me. My 3rd concert ever was seeing Bruce on the Born in the USA tour at The Aud. Oh the memories of the Aud (Concerts and Sabres) are flooding me now... Here's the trailer:

Not blaming fans here. But it likely isn't a coincidence he took off after getting boo'd off the ice....again this season. Not a good effort last night. Thompson and Tuch have to do more in games like that. If my wife was recovering from a heart transplant I'd also be like "WTF am I even doing here".
