I think this is exactly what makes him 3rd pair material. If you can limit his minutes, you'll get good effort -- he kills penalties and unlike some of our folks, he does battle in front of the net. The issue lately is that Byram has brought out the worst in him. He was solid, if unspectacular, with Power earlier in the year. He's now played almost the exact amount of 5-on-5 time with Byram as he had with Power. 148:50 w/ Byram, 147:16 w/Power. Timmins-Power 7 GF / 7 GA Timmins-Bryam 7 GF / 13 GA Unfortunately, losing their best defender in Samuelsson could be a killer -- but put Byram-Dahlin back together where Dahlin can elevate him. Re-pair Power-Timmins. And do something like Novikov-Bryson for sheltered minutes/game. (I know, I know, we're likely getting the Bryson-Metsa show instead.) And... is canned by Pegula for not being heard. Pegula/Adams are a dyad in the Dark Side of the Force #####.

What the discourse between us illustrates is that the Pegula organization isn’t a normally functioning hockey operation. The question as to which position is higher than another position isn’t necessarily clearly defined. It seems that whoever is more receptive to the owner’s whims is the one he will be more inclined to listen to. A third rate owner who has created a third rate operation with unsurprisingly third rate results. It’s so frustrating and sad.

How feckless did Ras look talking to the ref after the hit and no call?

Imagine if the Bills had foresight and fired McDermott last season (as he should have) and hired Ben Johnson?! Can we get one these type of motivators instead of the "praise Jesus" types ?

Not good enough. We need top 3

As I said in the GDT, Muel will fight him next year. BTW, a bit of irony. It was Sigenthaler who backed Muel down against retaliation on Noesom last year. Now he elbows him in the face and concusses him. Ref should have called it a 5 first, and then reviewed it. Remember back in the day with teams like the Flyers and Islanders, these player feuds went on for years.

Casually watching tonight. Think it could get ugly. Maybe we can be the bad team on a back to back who beats a decent opponent

The combined IQ of our owner, GM and scouts?

Anyone have video of the hit?

IF KA is retained, and is still a part of Hockey Operations, he will out-rank Jarmo. If KA is promoted and moved to another functional area then you may be correct.

In regards to Tuch or any other player who voluntarily signs with this team I would question their sanity. I mean everyone has a price but morons will be morons. I’m looking at you Terry Pegula.

From left to right, Punch, LGR... Thorny has separated himself but will join the gang for dinner. PTR is in the cockpit, certain he can get the thing started.

Casey Mutryn, 6'3" RW is probably the most aggressive checking player with skill in this class.

Was is it even lukewarm? And how about the franchise scorer having to endanger himself to settle a score? I call BS on all these shenanigans.

Geesh. Why bother?🤷🏻‍♂️

Our team is so bi-polar I see them winning tonight. Their puck luck bounces schedule has them as a W for tonight’s game, following the 2 steps forward 3 steps back regiment. Sabres 4 Wild 2.

This feels like one of those games the sabres win to keep the flame of hope alive.

I prefer raving over ranting

Hmm... idk yet. Stenberg and Belchetz forecheck well but I don't think either is the type of physical you're talking about.

This is a bold prediction.

This is a game thread. Not a political thread. You want rant go to the political thread

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jarmo's track record as a GM was never great in his own right. He's probably not the guy we want replacing Adams.

There’s always a reason to laugh at the leafs

My head is on a swivel mostly checking to see who is behind me. If you are called on to be a character witness for me just say that @Pimlach is the real seditionist. He's more expendable.
