Wow. Norris is a china doll.

So just go with the guy who continues to prove he's not woirthy? Doesn't seem like a good plan but makes sense for this Sabres roster and GM.

Well, Tuch isn't signed but I doubt that Adams would move him, unless he asked to be moved (he hasn't), or he is asking for too much money and would prefer to try his luck in free agency (maybe).

Like a child that doesnt get their way... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7842qg15p6o? I know Trump is jealous of Obama so "The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States president Barack Obama" Hard to win when you cannot cheat or buy your way around.

I will take this loss on my shoulders. I polled the crowd and was told to wear my white throwback jersey, when I knew in my heart the right answer was red goat head practice jersey. Sorry everyone - it won't happen again.

Sure I get what he was saying to. It is not hard to grasp his point. I responded to the OP's specific point, first game, one game, whatever. But we all know its been 14+ years of false promises, mismanagement, bad judgement, and poor effort by the people at the top. Believe me, I am not an apologist for this organization. The Sabres have had the worst front office in the NHL since Pegula fired Regier, and quite possibly the worst in all of the major professional sports in North America Don't take my word, look that the record. Still, I would like to try to enjoy at least part of the season, and I would like to hope for a little while that they can do something. Be December I should be ready to face another harsh reality and another lost season.

One word: Appert.

Makes sense; he plays at Penn State in the Pegula arena.

Bad team missing a bunch of starters struggles in opener people lose their minds. Why do you all continue to do this to yourselves?

Pretty sure you're getting the highlighted one, unfortunately.

I am not in his boat but i understand where he's coming from. We all know people who have said what he said and left this organization in the dust. It's not just one game, you're missing the whole picture. It's 14-15 years of the same. They are a soulless organization, very poorly run, have no identity. Im sticking around, probably because im a sucker, because they are not turning it around with this team, these coaches and this front office. No chance. No way. Only way to think so is if you live under a rock. And im not saying this because of one game. I've said this all summer when they decided to keep Adams and the coaches.

I was looking forward to a series of Delta Force, Missing in Action, Octagon, and Invasion USA fodder this season. The highbrow Norris, if you will. But this feels more appropriate today

Would bet a bunch they will force their trades if this season goes bad. They both are millionaires many times over. They are playing for glory with their contracts. Pegula, Adams, Ruff, and Appert offer no path to glory, imo. The indifference and incompetence of these men has produced only a growing animus among the fan base the past couple years. Dahlin and Thompson will have to rally their teammates to do it themselves. I’m rooting for them.

He tore an oblique or something else in his abdomen on the faceoff.

Bettman, definitely has some Parkinson’s going on. Not sure I would call Terry a great owner. Take Allen off the Bills and they are towards the bottom of the league. The Sabres ever since he brought the team have been a dumpster fire and are unwatchable. Players don’t want to play here unless being overpaid.

Saw him go down in a pile of players by the net at one point. Guessing this is when the injury occurred. Maybe that last faceoff he took before doing a split and face plant on the dot took him out.

Norris buyout numbers for next summer(link below). If he ends up being out more than 1/2 of this season, I would consider it. Disclaimer…if he is bought out, no doubt he would start dressing for 82 games a year for some other team. 😂 https://puckpedia.com/player/joshua-norris/buyout

Norris is worse than injury prone. He is a china doll. Want to hear what his multi week injury is this time. Muscle tear? Rotator cuff tear? Neck injury? His lower body is fine, so he can skate. Must be something a cortisone shot can’t help. Saw a close up of Norris on the bench shortly after he left the ice. He gave no indication of pain. No wincing, no gritted teeth. Just a blank face.

Tanking for McKenna

Steep price to pay to get rid of Cozens and his cap hit. Is there such a thing in the NHL as a waive/injury settlement?

I’ve seen him enough on the Silver Knights last season and you didn’t even notice him when he was on the ice. Brutal pickup by the Sabres and then you wonder why it’s 14 yrs of no playoffs. I know it’s Hockey Buzz but Tuch possibly to Florida, I know, I know take it with a grain of salt.

I used to be "terrific" on a skateboard till I crashed and broke both legs

What a bunch of lip service BS! He cares so much about winning that he changed nothing in 5 years.

He sticks out on this team like a sore thumb -- an NHL calibre player who plays with obvious heart and desire.

Probably the worst owner in the league
