It's only preseason, but NHL preseason to me is more enjoyable than most other sports. It'll be something tangible to watch and discuss.

Happy Equinox! Sabres hockey is back! No roster info yet. Stay tuned!

Heck ya!

No he didn't. He decided to take and keep them. Lindy Ruff and Kevyn Adams are both on record as saying Ruff can change out his assistants. I think the only one Ruff is stuck with is Appert.

You do. It’s directed at the fanbase you are part of instead of the team.

Stephen A’s thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s death and people celebrating it. I never really listened to a Kirk video but the little I saw he did to use peaceful debating. He made people defend their views instead of repeating wave tops from social media platforms. Never really listened to Stephen A either but this video caught my attention on FB.

Yeah, seem to be a well run and well supported team. Always great when they come down to Glasgow over the festive period usually Boxing Day or New Year’s Eve. They bring a rowdy away support so the Arena is bouncing.

Nah, you missed my post in the other thread. It was my good news positivity post for the Sabres. After watching the Bruins today I think it's almost certain the Sabres will not be last in the division. So you can celebrate.

I don’t remember do we do GDTs for preseason?

I had my wedding reception there years ago.

Well, I didn’t hear from Northern Kentucky so Dudacek you’re in.

Yep, IIRC none of the assistant coaches were brought in by Ruff. He had to take what was already there.

The shooting at the golf course? Disgruntled ex-employee apparently. I'm about 30 miles away. Believe what you want. I don't care.

I probably shouldn’t have gone off topic, but I was asking because of the Nashua news.

They will partly be the issue, but Kesselring most frequent partner last season was Ian Cole. Cole is a stay at home defender who back stopped Kesselring. Now we are likely putting Kesselring with a O first partner in Power and asking Kesselring to back stop Power when he F's up. What could possibly go wrong? I think you are putting to much faith in Kesselring's ability to adjust to a new system and a defensively inept partner in Power.

You wanna buy the "we had to go to Europe!" Excuse, go for it. It's bull hockey and I'd bet money that if Buffalo had squeeked into the playoffs last year, we'd be hearing about how great the Europe trip was for team bonding or some nonsense. If one of the most experienced coaches in the league wants to use the excuse that they didn't get a full camp so that's why the lost 13 games in a row 6 weeks later, all the power to Lindy.

God, please for the love of all things holy, let me be wrong. Please.

I don’t think anyone would be happier to be wrong about his goaltending prediction than @LGR4GM.

Except it's not really the "same old stuff." Ruff is finally getting a full camp, not shuttling off to Europe in a rush. Most here would scoff at that mattering, just like the scoff at anything the Sabres do.

Nope. Can’t have bribery probes of your border czar, now can we. Go after political enemies for no reason, but gotta shut down any probe with legitimate aims. https://apple.news/AeNEuSf91SoeDp3GM3KQ9jw

IMO you bring up valid points and I think it’s valid to let them outweigh the hope for this team. A lot of people feel renewed optimism right before a season begins. In the case of the Sabres there has been too much mismanagement to think anything will be different. My view is the defense is better on paper and everything else is reshuffling deck chairs. Likely the organization is going to hope things just work out instead of getting proven players for roles. Same old stuff with likely same old results until proven otherwise.

Good heavens. Best wishes. Hopefully the Bruins treat you right.

Is it? Some folks would rather be right. I don't spend my day being negative.
