Correct. Everyone on the team has to toughen up and have a pack mentality. There aren’t many “staged” fights anymore because most teams don’t want the hassle of carrying someone who is a liability and only gives you 5 minutes. They would rather pay a semi tough guy who can play 10 minutes in another role and hold his own if things get out of hand. Ryan Reaves did not help the Leafs last year.

Teams will spend too the cap. McDavid deal doesn't change that.

They've won 2 Cups in a row.

I just added Mikkola to Florida's list as he signed an 5x8 at 29 years old. They are up to 9 long term contracts for players well into the 30's. Time will tell if this does not blow up in Zito's face.

It’s a symptom

Hope it stays this way. I doubt it.

Yes that where I was going... we have solid AHLers at the NHL level... and the beat goes on....

Yeah, disheartening isnt it... Pegula is either gonna get it or he isnt.... I think as long as the Stadium is number 1 he isnt gonna get it.... my only hope is that he is not absolutely Tommy "the pinball wizard" (IYKYK lol) and will turn some attention after this thing is done... but if you ask me to bet... we are gonna see this as long as he owns the team...

I would like to see anyone but Tre out there at this point. Why not try Ingram and see if he has some juice. I'm hoping that one or both of Strong and Hairston are able to return this season. It's the Micah Hyde effect with Strong -- vague neck injuries and consultations with out of town specialists seem ominous. And I think it's 50-50 that they'll redshirt Hairston. Really good takes -- except re: the uniforms. I still thought those were sorta cool. (I have the emotional maturity of a 14 year old.)

Shut it down, but it really makes no difference one way or the other as the same small handful of participants really doesn’t do anything to further discussion anyway. It’s all an exercise in futility and a microcosm of where we are as a country. But thanks for taking the time and making the effort to moderate nonetheless.

Mixed weekend for the purple army. A 5-1 walloping away to Guildford followed by a 3-2 win in Sheffield. Highlight for the Clan included a 3 point weekend for early POTY candidate Tristan Langan. Poolman also grabbed another assist. However having played more matches in the league than their rivals, the clan currently sit in first place. Long may it continue. NO HIGHLIGHTS AVAILABLE AS I TYPE THIS.

Selling out the arena for the opening game is not an achievement, especially when a quarter or more of the fans are rooting for the visiting team. Regardless what the announced attendance was for games last year, when I watched the games I saw a lot of empty seats that belied the announced tickets sold. When a person has a purchased ticket and can’t go to the game and can’t give it away, that is telling and an indictment. I want the Sabres to succeed and am rooting for them. But what I see is what I see.

What's funny is this team could have Bernard-Docker or Grezlyc for basically the same money but went with Jones and Bryson. Just amazing how much they mismanaged the easy parts.

I think that's a problem. If you aren't willing to defend yourself or you teammates because Gertie is sitting on the bench, your team is going to be weaker not stronger. Not saying that's what will happen but toughness is a team effort.

Going to a game with cheap tickets is a nice thing to do when there is nothing to do.

KC still lost so....

Rangers must have a lot of fans that relocated

NYC college students?

Keep it. The rampant TDS on here entertains me.

Given the tenor of this board, I think it’s a little surprising that less than 1000 seats remain for Thursday’s game.

I watched Geertsen a lot last season on the Silver Knights and I’m totally shocked he made the Sabres. He never stood out in any way. Yes, he will drop the gloves but other than that he’s not gonna do anything.

IMO this club crossed the line the day “F off and die” was used followed by attempts to explain it away. Shortly after, the overt calling for the U.S. to “burn” down and advocation of people suffering to achieve a political/ideological goal. Whether in agreement or not this club has documented statements of a radicalized nature within less than a year of the current POTUS election. Shut it down.

4 games for Sabourin as well and 2 games for Moser although I'm not sure either were going to be on the NHL roster so not sure how that plays out. Panthers of course get nothing because they were the poor innocent victims and we all know what a clean and upstanding team they are who never get fined or suspended for anything. Lady Byng candidates up and down that line up.

Apparently not 😎
