They’re still the Bills with Josh Allen.

Was waiting for one of the "embarrassed on national TV losses".

This is always a delicate balancing act and I see value in both approaches. I believe this choice is on a case by case basis. Every kid wants to play as high a level as possible as soon as possible but it is not always the right path. I am leaning to the WHL camp because of his age. He will get tons of ice time there and play in all situations and gain confidence by being the man. He can play in Rochester once his season is over and should be done with junior hockey. I haven’t seen him enough in the pre season to assess what level he could play at in the AHL but unless he is an elite Dman at that level he should have to earn his ice time. Does he automatically jump ahead of Johnson, Jones, Novikov and Komarov for ice time and special teams play? If Johnson makes the NHL (fingers crossed) and Bryson goes down, that is another issue. He can gain a lot by training, practicing and competing with men every day but I think hanging around kids his age until he is 19 won’t hurt his development. There is tweener depth in Rochester plus a couple of young guys who could fill a hole, I don’t want KA to have Mrtka at his disposal just yet.

The Bills over the past few years have shown this ability to play well against good opponents, then turn around and play down to lesser teams. It’s baffling.

Defense shows up and the offense goes haywire. This 2nd half opening drive will be huge. Get some momentum.

Vrabel is overrated.

I predicted this when Vrable got hired. NE going to be a tough go every time from here on out. Bills are sloppy and the playcalling is horrendous. Need major adjustments.

Some Sabres' Benny Hill ***** early here.

The fact that they sent Dunne down after the camp he had tells me everything was in fact predetermined before camp started. Dunne earned a spot in my opinion.

All of that might be true, but you again didn't name the actual mentors. My point is I do not think the Sabres spend much effort bringing in those type of players and thus don't have many of them. I'm really not worried about which path they choose for him. I'm just glad they didn't stick him on the NHL roster already.

You simply do not understand how hockey teams come together and never will. The second game got out of hand, that's fair, but I guarantee you these games galvanized both rosters.

This one is going to put me to sleep

Go bills. Big game

The problem isn’t attracting high end free agents as it is keeping your best players who no longer want to be associated with an inept franchise that they don’t believe is and will be a serious franchise. We had Eichel, Reinhart, Montour and Ullmark on the team. They all wanted out and got out. A dysfunctional organization is never an appealing work place to be at or go to.

I can’t stop laughing about your reply @Eleven. Perfect! Well done.

You can really program people. Logic and reason have no impact .We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Seeing Stereolab (from France) at Babeville Tuesday.

I like the diagnosing of it not being about winning when I was screaming it 5 years ago lo

https://www.nhl.com/stats/teams?reportType=season&seasonFrom=20242025&seasonTo=20242025&gameType=2&sort=goalsFor&page=0&pageSize=50 This report on the team stats page on NHL.com has Montreal at 243 goals and the Sabres at 265. The Standings page https://www.nhl.com/sabres/standings/2025-04-17/division has Montreal at 245 and Buffalo at 265 Not sure where the 2 goals went. Those reports also have a 4 goal discrepancy between goals against for Montreal. The team stats page shows 261 against, while the standings page shows 265. Not sure the reason for that difference either.

It would make sense Pegula would rather win. Buffalo has never attracted high end players in free agency and we're on many no trade clause lists. When re-builds are decided on, it's like turning around a cruise ship. He's tried a lot of different things and nothing has worked. I'm glad the Sabres are worth a lot of money, in part it's a compliment to the fans. I hope we make the playoffs and think the roster is good enough to do it.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to see the incredible Ruthie Foster at a small music hall in Golden, CO. If you like Blues with a tinge of folk and rock in there, she's as good as it gets. Incredibly tight band. Her personality is like a ray of sunshine and comes through in her Aretha Franklin-esque singing. I am not exaggerating - if she's playing near you sometime do yourself a favor and check it out.

I mean if you think it’s funny people in general are doxxing and swatting, whatever. It puts families in danger which I’m guessing is why they wear masks. SWAT teams wear masks depending on what they’re doing. Undercover cops wear masks and they pose as not being cops. As far as vetting goes what you said is not true. Their vetting program lines up with programs I have seen for decades. https://www.ice.gov/careers/vetting DHS uses the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency as its Cognizant Security Agency. DCSA is pretty much the largest CSA in terms of the number of agencies that do their vetting through them. As far as throwing people around, the days of surrounding people and blocking vehicles are done. Regular citizens quit putting up with this. People aren’t intimidated by these tactics or being screamed at anymore. It is extremely dangerous to allow a crowd to surround your vehicles and block routes of movement. Protesting is fine but trying to intimidate doesn’t fly.
