Elite Prospects put the Sabres pool at 19th overall. Seems about right to me.

The hate for Montreal, Philly, Penguins and Bruins has been put on the back burner for a long time now. Sabres have no rival games anymore because they are so lousy. That said, the correct answer is Toronto. I never, ever want them to lift the Cup!

Their 3 questions are pretty much the same questions we all have. I'd add can Quinn be something as a 4th question and then my biggest question I'm still asking (every year) and that is what are they? What's the team identity? What exactly is the system and what do they want it to be? It seems to me for success you decide an identity and then you build for that identity and play that way. We seem to just rotate bodies and ideas and try to let something develop, but it never does.

I keep seeing people saying this is the first time a forward has worn 6 but technically Housley came in as a center AND defenseman. I just hope Norris plays more than 9 games this season.

Montreal for me. Toronto is second but their failures make them more laughable than hated. They'd be first if they actually won something. I would have expected Boston to be first here.

I just can’t get that level of emotion anymore. I need a purple pill for hockey.

Vegas. Made a mockery of LTIR

Had you asked this question prior to the stupid 14 years in the desert, would've had a different answer. Likely Filly, possibly Bah-stan, or even a very outside chance of the Aisles, Rags, or Texasses. But it was asked now, 14 years into an indeterminant journey into the desert and at this point in time, there can be only 1 answer, like the goalie in the Nike commercials used to say: die Leafs die.

I am outraged at the lack of respect shown the leadership of Girgensons and Okposo. The blood sweat and tears on those jerseys were barely dry.

that was very intentional. the kids doing the Sabre socials there are pretty good.

Certainly not by accident. Whether it's clever is up for debate. Now, when the starting lineup is Benson-Norris-Thompson and they go stand in line for the anthems (in the playoffs), will I snicker? Also up for debate.

Wonder how much Norris had to pay him for that?

Jessica plays Sabalenka tonight in the semifinals. Sabalenka is the #1 ranked player, will be well rested because her QF opponent withdrew, and is the person who eliminated her last year in the US Open. It's an uphill battle, but Jessica won their last meeting, in Cincy a week and a half ago.

They have to be. There’s no way they did that by accident.

No one is really saying anything other than they are on the practice squad. Also Poyer was in the last episode of Hard Knocks.

My age is showing, but I'll always think of Schoeny as #6

Is Sabres Media that clever?

All I know about Silver is that he looks like the scream painting. So he does get some points for that.

Zach Benson will wear #6, while Josh Norris is taking #9

Adam Silver is an interesting character. He appeared on Pardon My Take (a Barstool podcast, if you're unfamiliar) at least once and acquitted himself pretty well, I thought. He exhibited a sense of humour, anyway. PMT also had the baseball commissioner on -- I don't recall his name and found his appearance to be excruciatingly dull.

Ok, there isn't much new on this forum in the last week or two, so I thought I'd try a poll. My cousin and me were discussing the teams we would least like to see win the cup. I think on this Forum Toronto, Boston, and Philly would lead the way, but maybe a poll would be fun to see what the split is. So, what team would you least like to see win the cup ever. (of course, Sabres not included in any results) I thought Boston and Toronto would be the top choices, Philly and the Rangers for some. I threw Florida in there because maybe people are getting sick of them (although we we more talking about long term, not just this year) I thought of adding Dallas or Montreal or Ottawa, but I don't see much hatred for them anymore. For me, I'm going with the Rangers. Yeah, there are times they play the Leafs and I want the Rangers to win, but for the most part, they are the most annoying fanbase when they are good in my eyes (worse than Toronto and MUCH worse than Boston.)

this Gabe Davis/Jordan Poyer paper chase stuff is scintillating. i'm sure Hard Knocks would have had a field day with it. (lol.)
