Good to hear. I hope you are correct.

Ellis was the first goalie off the ice for practise which almost always means they are starting, so it better be him tonight If Lindy goes back to UPL my god

My App says its UPL and Vejmelka. I suppose they are saving Lyon for the Avs and that Ellis is just a mirage.

No

Love Anja Taylor Joy as an actress.... She was amazing in the Queens Gambit as well. The menu was decent.

This year and next sound like a problem to me. He might be able to get out of his contract with the Sabres holding his NHL rights if he ever wanted to come back? Then there is injury and liability to consider.

Maybe it's a time zone thing, but do we have any clues on the starting lineups/goalies?

The Athletic only had ESPN+. I agree it was nearly perfect. Now it is.

The time zone is important to some. Last 3 games: 2-1 OT loss at home, 2-0 home loss to St. Lousy, and 6-3 road loss to Carolina It is Nov 12th and the Sabres are looking for their first road win of the season, tomorrow they play the Avs so here we go ... I think we can say this is a Must Win.

Question here. Since this is a very serious rehab period for her, could Ras ask for a “pause” in his contract and play in Sweden this year and next? Contract years would resume when he comes back?

Not all fans live in the area, and leverage MSG for access. I like knowing if ESPN+ is carrying the game. Plus, the game starts at 6pm, not 9pm….pacific time zone and all. But I get it. Nothing more important than your opinion, nothing less important than mine. My dad still says options are like @$$holes, everyone has one. It’s why some of these threads go on and on.

Pluribus on AppleTV looks interesting. But AppleTV won't let me sign up lol.

Scheme is important, but lets not confuse scheme and needs. BPA is important too. Knowing when to go with one or the other is also important. Beane is coming up on the wrong side of these draft decisions much to often. Kiiar Elam was another "scheme guy" until he wasn't. Q. What did Beane need in that draft? Ans. He needed a WR to replace Diggs. That was Need #1 and he didn't do it in the draft or in free agency. Now a second year has past and he still has not done it. Beane had a board with Worthy, Legette, McConkey, Franklin, and Coleman all there. What was it about Coleman that was so compelling? He could jump like a basketball player and get to contested balls. What was the down side of Coleman? Lots - namely speed, knowledge of the position, and football experience. Right now the downside is far outweighing the positives. On top of that McDermott is complaining about his effort. Neither of you can tell me what it is about McConkey that does not fit the Bills needs or their scheme. He was highly regarded for his ability to get open and catch. He is faster, quicker, and a better route runner than Coleman - all measureables that were known. He had a much better college career on a great team in Georgia. He had late first and early 2nd round draft grades. Right now he is playing like the best WR in the draft although Marvin Harrison Jr is starting to emerge. What happens when Brady gets fired and we get a new OC and that person has a new scheme? Do we replace all the players to met a new scheme? Of course not. You draft the best players you can find, then you adapt the scheme based on the players. I am harping on this because you and @Porous Five Hole keep telling me that McConkey does not fit the scheme, and he does not bring what the Bills needs. I will not buy this. So far it looks like Beane missed on this pick. The reality for all to see is that McConkey is bringing exactly what the Bills needed to the San Diego Chargers, and Coleman is still learning and playing an inconsistent game. Coleman has had flashes but more often than not he is not getting the job done.

An excerpt from Jim Kubiak’s weekly BN critique of the previous game confirms what I’ve been seeing from Josh as well. For as much as we complain nobody is getting open, he often isn’t throwing to them when they are. Something has just seemed off for a while now. He appears a half step slower and his fastball is lacking as well. Almost like he doesn’t trust his arm to make medium range throws with the necessary zip. I suspect he’s nursing an injury of some sort.

It's an MSG game. Otherwise it's a near perfect title. IMHO we don't need media info UNLESS it's not an MSG game.

You go, P(L)T(S)R.

I am answering another poster. We don not want/need Savoie at this time.

Are you saying scheme fit isn’t an important consideration when drafting players? Whether we like it or not, it plays a role in every draft for every team. I’m not saying BPA isn’t important because it certainly is. But when player rankings are as close as they are, especially late in the first round as they were in the ‘23 draft, scheme fit plays a role whether we agree or not. Anyway, I will agree to disagree as there is no point in continuing to re-litigate a draft in hindsight.

None of that changes the fact that he was an experienced HC when he was brought in during the Pegula era.

I’m at the point where a good BF sounds better than watching this team p.s. BF does not stand for boy friend

Is Jarmo currently actively or at least collaborating on personnel decisions? Was he a Pegula recommended addition or was it a KA add after being instructed by the owner to find an experienced staffer to help him out? It is not a healthy organizational situation to be in where you have staff waiting in the wings (maybe so?) because you then have people looking over their shoulders worried about their status and influence. Terry Pegula has created a third-rate organization, and the results are proof of that dysfunction.

Soooooo, a proposed trade by our (not-officially confirmed, but most-likely) future GM, and it's got the feels a dud move? Greaaaaaaaat 😒

Are you trying to jinx the upcoming game against the Oilers? Saying all this --- Savoie is going to score 3-1-4 in his return and every Sabres prospect scorer is going to suffer injuries that night. 😇 To appease the gods, I'll add: Savoie is a fantastic young talent and we wish him the best in his future endeavors (except against Buffalo) and McLeod fills a greater need on the current roster.

I care Wednesdays are my education seminars and teaching these reprobates the fine points of setting up the Beach Chair patient positioner, is a draining endeavor; an exercise in futility, if you will 😃
