After tonight they play 7 of the next 8 on the road. The season probably hinges on how they play between now and Christmas.

They know what Lyon is. He is a 1B/2, and they know they need to keep him fresh to get the most of out of him. They are still undecided between UPL and Ellis, or it might come down to which one makes a better trade?

Chill out, Kronos

Oh. Ohhhh. Good lord.

It was decent. I liked the part where they ran around in a big group screaming and doing parkour for 20 minutes for no apparent reason

That kind of message might have worked in a different situation and in a different era. Maybe. But doing that to Lyon of all people at that point of time was plain dumb. If Lindy really pulled Lyon at that point in the game to send a message to the team, then maybe he is just too far out of touch when it comes to coaching a hockey team in this day and age?

Ya, there was a moment way back when Dudley was available. Before Florida hired him as a senior advisor. It was a hope and a dream but Pegula doesn't want a strong personality in charge. Dudley was the perfect hockey player. Talented, but not super talented, maximum effort every game, personality, character, leadership, did whatever was necessary and brought that every night (and then there was that headband :)) His post playing career is really impressive and he really does seem to know what is what and who is who. Never gonna happen though. As I've said many times, we all should have realized what was going to happen when LaFontaine walked. LaFontaine wanted this job. You don't walk from a situation like that unless you realize your situation will be hopeless. Could be worse though. They could have hired Trotz. Great coach, but possibly a worse GM than Adams. Possibly.

Divergent was an amazing movie!

Wait... Maybe I missed it, but do we know who's in net today?

The only reason it would need to be updated is because people pretend after the sabres win a game that everyone doesn’t need to be fired anymore. it’s perpetual: we need the house cleaning. It has been determined, the jury is no longer out

lol chalk it up with “Samuelsson is the team MVP!” circa 3 years ago. People love falling for a small sample size have at it, be my guest.

And I thought Stathletes was a joke for claiming to be a “hockey account” and literally only retweeting pictures of Meghan Chayka - - - If anything the article is kind, speaking of “divergent paths ahead” as if it’s some sort of 50/50

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.
