What?! The Bills had two timeouts left — plenty of time to move into field goal range! How does McDermott not learn from “13 seconds”? That’s inexcusable clock management.

What a disgusting half.

you too nervous to get in range for a FG?? with time left?

I wish I could save lives like you do. You're one of the good ones.

Didn’t score a point in the half. Embarrassing. Total domination. Wr can’t get open. It’s hard to image you have a top 3 QB with perhaps the worst WR corps in the league. Our GMs for both teams fail us constantly.

Sabres have won 5 games too

Bills with their Falcon game plan

This is the one of the worst Bills games I've seen in some time.... Put the armor on Beane, you're gonna be catching some arrows tomorrow.

The Bills’ defense is absolutely depleted by injuries, and Brandon Beane’s inactivity at the trade deadline only makes it worse. He didn’t need to swing for a blockbuster, but adding quality depth to the defensive line was a must. Standing pat was a mistake.

McKenna is a soft, 160 pound winger with incredible hockey sense. Half this fanbase would hate him.

It looks like the Sabres are out there wearing the Bills uniforms, lol. Also, the Jests are the Sabres of the NFL - at least they will BOTH extend their post season droughts this year.

They are looking like the Avalanche so far.

"So"

I add regular vodka to it all the time. That also has benefits.

Well at least you did not link us to Strokin.

So I might make the drive down to State College to see our future saviour. If anyone wants to come stay in the trailer overnight, that would be fun, then we'd go to the game the next day. My place is kind of hard to find, off a long dirt road in the woods. If interested let me know.

There aren't many metrics analytically that I trust to evaluate goalies. Xga vs ga is one that makese some sense to me. Very close to GSAA, related to it and just another way to express it. For the year so far: Alex Lyon: expected goals against, 36.24. Actual goals allowed 32 (so above average) Colton Ellis: expected goals against, 3.75. Acutal goals allowed 2 (only one start, but a very good ratio) UPL: expected goals against, 6.89. Actual goals allowed 9 (so pretty bad). Its simplistic, but you want your actual goals allowed to be better than your expected goals allowed. UPL, in a small sample size, is the only want that isn't that way. For reference, Reimer last year was positive, UPL and Levi were both negative last year.

The Dolphins are the Sabres of the NFL

Yeah, we're definitely a bottom 5 team yet again. I envision another double digit losing streak upcoming soon. This team still has not heart, no leadership and no direction. We finally may have goaltending, but nothing else

Like I’ve over and over again, the Sabres was a means to an end for the Pegula’s. Terry doesn’t give two shits about the Sabres. When fans finally come to that realization, and shows they don’t give two shits, is when something will change. Then, and only then will something change with ownership. Either Terry will sell or or an invest a significant amount of money to make the team relevant. I say he sells to the highest bidder with no stipulations.

Correct UPL does not like "UPL". Correct, UPL needs assurances and he needs the net. Recall when Levi first arrived in the 2022-23 magical 91 point season. Rumors were out even back then that the younger players were upset that Levi got starts over UPL. Looking back at the players from that 2022-23 roster how disappointing they have been since then. We still have Thompson, Tuch, and Dahlin as a Core. Peterka is the only kid that broke out and improved over the years, and he is traded. Mitts got traded and while he isn't much, the center spine has been a problem ever since. Cozens got paid plus a letter, and then he flopped under the expectations and the pressure and was traded for a guy who wasn't healthy enough to contribute anything, and still is not healthy. Mule an Power have not met their contracts or on ice expectations. Neither has UPL. Levi is in the minors. Quinn is just inconsistent and mediocre. Since that season we have seen a parade of bargain basement goalies, 4th liners, and 5/6/7/8 defensemen come and go.

The problems with this team is way beyond coaching.

If I’m the opposition GM I’m not sending Adams anything. This is cap unloading. Adams is the one who has to sweeten the deal. Example: the Leafs had Marleau under contract and needed space for Marner. They sent Marleau + 7th and a conditional 1st to Carolina. That was for only one season of Marleau’s cap hit. (That 1st became Jarvis.) What are you requiring from Adams to take 4.75 for this year and 3 more seasons? For an AHL goalie / buyout / trade for nothing with future retention? I want a lottery-protected 1st.

Apologies. You are correct. Hadn't realized Eliis rode the pine against the Blues. But he was the backup that night. Thanks for that. So, as Emily Lutella used to say, "nevermind."

Travis Sanheim? Anyone watch a lot of Flyers games and have an opinion on him? I've watched parts of 4 philly games this year now...and every time I see him, he's almost 'perfect' back there. Hardly makes a mistake, always makes the correct play. He doesn't put up the numbers with goals and assists, but is it a stretch to say he might be someone who could at least get SOME consideration for a Norris trophy? He's also 3rd in the league with over 26 minutes per game.
