But he's the reason we have lost certain games.

If last place isn't empty I don't know what to say.

Is the glass half full or half empty?

Other than palm trees and taxes, and weather probably? We are not a good team. But this is what I don't get. Everyone here cheers when the team fails. We root for players to leave. Who said Dahlin is going to give an ultimatum when he gets back? You all deny it, but your posts say otherwise. You say you want the team to be good but you cheer for everything that goes wrong.

Between the above UPL quote, AND the quote about needing his teammates to know that it's "his" net (or, whatever TF he was attempting to imply) I don't think I can loathe the bum, anymore than I currently do? I cannot STAND the guy!!!

6-4 Sabres. 19 year old Helenuis has 10 points in 12 games after a slow start.

Did not read through all 8-10 pages since I last commented, but I saw that the game before the Ovi 900 game, St Louis held McJeses, Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, without a shot on goal in the whole game. It was the first time in a regular-season game where that specific trio all played together and were all held without a shot. So ... maybe we don't fully panic, just yet? But also, is this what being a Jets fan feels like??

I really can't see a team taking him for $2.4million a season. I'm not sure if anyone else here remembers the interview UPL did with some Finnish reporters. I seem to recall him saying he didn't like being called UPL. Am I remembering that right? Anyhow, that's how I remember it, and it didn't come across very well to me. So when I couple that with his poor play- the jerk in me would like to see him unceremoniously bought out... For certain no one will call him UPL anymore once he's out of the league and playing back in Finland.

I was done with Kevyn before he accepted the position 😋

He's an AHL Goalie AT BEST! With the lack of scoring on this team, superior goaltending is a must!

Bryson Another of the, "if I NEVER have to see him in a Sabres sweater again...."

I've seen it. A friend and I had tickets to see the B-52s but Kate Pierson became ill so the show was canceled. We both had kitchen passes from the wives to go do something so I suggested keeping the music theme and we went to watch this movie I really enjoyed it.

I double dog dare you to find a weirder, more visually appealing and catchier tune than this!

Yes, but they are on the hook for his entire contract amount even if he is playing in the minors. That's 4.75 a year for this year and the next 3 years. Another master stroke by KA. They would receive a cap credit of about $1 mill per season. The best way to get rid of UPL is to find a team willing to take him and eat 50% of his deal. (I'm assuming he has zero trade value otherwise) The next best option is a buyout. The cap hit would be 1.583 per season for the next 6 years.

Now compare this to Ellis' pedigree. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?encode=TRUE&pid=197251 I'd rather have Ellis.

I wish I could react to this post with all of the eye roll, thumbs down, vomit, and disagree emojis.

No. McKenna is a winger.

Appert already acts like he’s the HC behind the bench. Maybe Lindy should decide to spare himself the post game presser Q&A heartburn and just have GMKA’s hand picked HC-in-waiting take the questions instead.

To be honest seen worse, just bad timing.

I did some checking and “a” should be used because of the hard pronunciation “h” in the word housing.

Former Jr Sabre trevor kuntar has 2 goals for the amerks in the first period. Amerks up 4-1

Or the love of his life had a heart transplant and might need him to get right. I'm pretty sure the performance of a hockey team is way lower on the priority list.

This isn't a serious hockey organization. Kev will be back because they'll blame another wasted year on injuries and the Dahlin situation. The only change I can maybe see is if Lindy retires and they promote Appert. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Holy smokes Mateo Constantini making his AHL debut 5 years after being drafted and scores a goal.

Depends. Are they any really good French Canadian C's slated to go 1st overall or any LHD slated to go 1st overall? if not, probably not. 😉

Why wouldn't we be allowed to? We've not drafted 1st since 2021 and the rule is 2 years in a 5 year span. Also the rule started in 2022 and we've never moved to since then.
