All Activity

Ugh, work emergency literally as I’m logging in. Sorry all. Will still scratch and claw in free agency to make the playoffs. Open to trade offers.

Maybe a better thread would honestly be whether this is closer to the bottom 10 moments, or the top 10 moments. There does seem to be a lot of active and manual polarization.

My apologies. It could have been done better.

Biden/Harris are in the same group of rich disgusting people who wouldn't release it b.c it would hurt democratic money supporters also. This ***** is on both sides of the isle and easily world wide with powerful people that have lots of money. Trump himself used to be a democrat and even donated money to the Harris campaign (California AG)back in 2011. These people are all connected at one point in time.

What i have trouble squaring though, is the Biden/Harris admin had the files for four years. If there was something in there that could hurt Trump it's inconceivable they wouldn't have used it.

I lie to myself all the time it’s specifically human not saying you are but it’s certainly not a wild hypothetical. In the absence of a stance that seems inherently logical I’m going to question it. 💁🏻‍♂️ I think that’s fair, in an open forum where I’m also questioning the salience of my own position - - - It’s also the only relevant thread in a month I’m not afraid to step on a few toes in the name of a more lively discussion

I’m not sure how one can be intellectually dishonest answering what seems to me a purely emotional question. 🤷

Seems to come down a lot to how it’s being defined. “What was the point at which you felt they were least likely to succeed in the coming season?” seems to be an interpretation of choice That’s the high minded, desirable approach I think…it’s aspirational. “Past is the past”. It’s rather salient - - - I wish I came down there. To me, it’s not about the likelihood of success in the immediate season, now, straight up - it’s about the fact I’m truly scared im not going to care about it when it does happen That’s why it’s the low point: the fear of the apathy they have and may have caused. I expect losing. I fear winning

Yeah I started following the sabres with the Goathead, so 15 automatic wins, not bad 🙂

I'd say the 2018 off season when O'Reilly said the team I love destroyed his love for Hockey. I remember it just being awful to hear that. The trading Eichel off season. The historic losing streak 20-21. Losing streak last year sucked. Not improving on the '23 91 pts. Definitely not now. I don't think we suck.

You didn’t ask me, but I can think of 2 comments on this: So in general your outlook on the team has improved since Adams instituted his rebuild plan - you feel better after 5 FURTHER years of unequivocal failure - somehow the same ownership that’s still in place now seems *more* likely to succeed after stacking 5 years of failure on top of 9 - these 5 years have allowed them to gain ground for you. As for the latter, to each their own but finding out my team could be bad once definitely didn’t feel bad as actually being bad for 2 decades as I said, to each their own - - - Bear with me here but I honestly struggle to classify this as intellectual honesty. 5 years ago you feared the Pegula Sabres would be hard pressed to make the playoffs, and now after that being proven true, and no end to the regime in sight, no indication they’ve changed their modus operandi that got them to your “lowest point”, now 5 years on you feel better about it? They’ve only doubled down on every mistake since and continue to do so… no team ever actually is or needs to be “5 years away” from the playoffs - the only reason that ever is the case is because of poor aptitude and choices - the fact we are suffering from both has only been proven *demonstrably more true* over the course of the last 5 years. We were one year away in 2021. We chose to be more than that, and those who made the choice are still here

Practice squad guy who knows the team and What Josh wants. Good to have just in case of injury.

Trump has shown he is a predator and maybe even deeper than people realized. You don't fight something so hard that you actually used as part of your campaign and hired people who gained their popularity and money off of videos and streams about the Epstein files for the votes. He thought he could sweep this under the rug but too many problems have snapped some of these people out of their brainwashing. He also has the deep conspiracy crew who wanted answers and now see him as a main threat to those answers.

And back to Gabe Davis. Was thinking the reason we hadn't heard of any cuts to add him was because Carter had been put on IR and somebody elevated. Well, Carter is on the injury report, so for some reason he hasn't been IR'd yet. And apparently, per Sal, nobody needs to come off of the PS to make room for Gabe due to his status.

I’d rather be 12 than 11. For half the draft you’re gonna be taking players I wanted. Yeah but with 7 and 17 you get more balance. 12 and 13 then a VERY long wait until Round 3 12th pick.

All good for me

No. It's just acknowledging an era of this team. For a significant number of fans, those are the Sabres' real jerseys.

Oops. Stupid yahoo page doesn’t format correctly on phone. Other 4 bench spots were off my screen to the right. 😤

Hmmm. Jersey change coming? I still like the old blue and gold

Possibly, but it would depend on the teams involved right? idk, it's a good thing if they fix the playoffs. I've always thought it was an easy fix. Just make the roster you dress for the game cap compliant. So if you are an over cap Vegas type team you can dress less players if that's how you want to roll. But whatever the final version of this is it's better than it was. None of it affects the Sabres though. Spending to the cap or going over is not going to happen under Pegula.

It’s a free and for fun league, so I’m not loudly complaining about this. But changing from standard scoring to half PPR a day before the draft is a choice. Ya done messed up my self-prepared cheat sheets.

It’s set for 5 bench spots.

The 23 or 28th would work for me, of course assuming no Buffalo Lake Erie effect snow storms.😉
