They are as capable of reading the standings as anyone

@PASabreFan I’ve only become more like you over the course of my 10+ years here. Blame the team. Also, remember the Levi is Hasek days

They were swallowed long ago 😳

If I could still extend my legs, I would kick your ass, sonny.

WAY longer than me you are far far older FAR older

I dunno. I kinda liked it. It had a good beat, and I could dance to it. Sadly it did not gain traction and bring much needed shame and degradation to the Sabres franchise. I do wonder if Terry briefly clutched his pearls. @johnwawrow, who was probably also there, did leap to his overlord's defense. Mainly I am mad that THAT dude is able to pull ass (UPL, not JW).

Norris still day to day Greenway will play

Yeah? I've hated prospects and evaluation years at least as long as you have. Most liked Starter Levi. How did that work out?

I get your point, but this feels like an oversimplification of coaching. No, the coach doesn’t strap on skates and make plays — but coaching absolutely affects performance. Systems, line matching, confidence, communication, bench management, and the culture set behind the scenes all shape how players perform on the ice. You’re right that players have personal accountability, but motivation and clarity of instruction aren’t just “locker room speeches” — they’re embedded in how the team is prepared, how mistakes are addressed, and how players are positioned to succeed or fail. A bad pass may be on the player — but persistent breakdowns, morale issues, and inconsistency often trace back to coaching structure, leadership style, and trust. Players should always compete hard, yes. But to act like coaching doesn’t directly influence execution, confidence, and discipline ignores how elite teams actually function. Coaching isn’t about shoving players around physically — it’s about shaping their decision-making and effort through strategy, trust, and accountability.

Yeah, probably the dumbest story in a while.

That they didn’t figure out, presumably still haven’t figured out that the Buffalo Sabres franchise specifically as it stands cannot benefit anymore from long term goals and pursuits and patience, that to fix the culture of no expectation literally the only cure is going all-in on the now, holding yourself to nothing less than winning RIGHT NOW being the standard, is mind-boggling. I opined on that 5 years ago lol. Draft picks don’t matter. Prospects don’t matter. Not for *this* franchise - not right now, not anymore. I’m not sure what part of “historical ineptitude” they don’t understand - why they can’t grasp that being an *anomaly* means they need a drastic and a anomalific approach to fix it. It’s physics. Transactions should in totality be dialed in on mortgaging EVERY SINGLE BIT OF THE FUTURE THEY CAN in the aid of the now. Because the future they are trading is only perceived, and never to arrive, without the rescuing of the now there only ever IS the now. No yesterday, no tomorrow. - - - they don’t want to acknowledge the reality of the drought, they don’t want to be the ones to take responsibility for the realities of it and how it must be approached and fixed, they don’t want to claim it. No one does what they don’t get is SOMEONE F*CKING HAS TO besides the fans. If they continue leaving it to the fans, the fans will remain on an island, separate from the organization, separate from success. Separate from winning.

Yes.

This is the dumbest non story in sports. Who tf cares.

Hey I hacked your account

Personally, I think UPL sucks but who cares if he went out after a loss. Do people think a player should sit in a dark corner and think about a loss?

How many games do they play at home in a row? lol

2 are on the couch in the family room, 1 is on the recliner and the last one is in her room since she’s apparently never moving out. All are here for the holiday’s, even after I put the fake house number magnet up on the mailbox, for 4 kids that grew up never seeming to know who did the frowned upon deeds in the house while mom and pop were at work or gone for a weekend, they somehow miraculously remember instinctively where the house is 🤔 All 4 of them, ages 35 on down to 21 are now of age, all 4 of them with their significant others, so they decided to do what mom and pop did in our youth, they drank all of my beer and half of my booze cabinet Wednesday night and yesterday. I now fully understand what my dad was so bitter about all those years.

The players should hold Lindy accountable for the coaching staff he wanted to retain in Year One for evaluation, then retaining them again!

Anyone else remember Drury making a comment about lack of privacy for pro athletes in Buffalo? I seem to recall he said people would come up to him in Wegmans.

If I were UPL after that game, I would be drinking too. I don’t care what he does in his off time. But he needs to do better or we need to cut the cord.

Must tie.

It's 4 o'clock, do you know where your children are?

Like he does in net. Ooh PEE…
