Neither, I got things to do; but this isn't different than normal.

The full Steve Bernier in effect.

To be fair, waiving a guy at the beginning of the season vs. 1/3 of the way through where he only made the line-up for 3 games on a bad team is different.

FTFY

It's going to be such a shame when the team lays a giant turd and loses this week. Considering the eras of the players above him involved, Kemp (and Tobin Rote 3 behind him) must have been something else considering no one else in the top-10 are played in that era.

Even then, they might send Levi back down and play 6K. I'd still rather see Levi getting lots of games regardless of league.

I'd assume that with the cap, it's harder to ship out players and easier to ship out a coach.

Happy Holidays, get out.

It's early to call McD great. As someone else said, good to very good right now. Few people outside Buffalo would remember McD for his work to date; that's not the sign of a great coach. Right now, McD's legacy *is* late-game bad decisions. Frankly, so was Andy Reid's until KC (from my memory of him in Philly). The 7 vs 25 argument is, well, unconvincing. There are far more coaches that had 7 good years and disappeared than the few that won it 18 years later. Maybe McD gets there someday, but the odds are not in his favor.

Why's that?

Confirmed, pretty sure he was right in front of the net on one of the Avs PP goals; the one from McKinnon to back-side player.

The lifespan of a red blood cell is approximately 4 months, so if you can go cold-turkey over the summer you should be free of this affliction!

I pulled away around 2017-18 maybe. I still care enough to hang out here and watch the 10-minute highlights most of the time, but if SDS shut the site down I wouldn't go looking for a new community to talk Sabres. There was a gap in there of a year or two where I didn't come here nor watch anything but I'm back to daily now.

It gets dark at like 4:30pm, almost every game is after dark.

To be honest, I think it's *kinda* normal with a young goaltender. He may be better than your backup, but you send him to the AHL so he's playing 50+ games instead of 20. I remember the Sabres doing the same thing in the past, although I can't recall who it was. Comrie certainly looks like the 3rd best of the 3, but that doesn't mean you send him to the AHL to have Levi play once a week in the NHL.

No blood atoll.

Did he reference Isis or the IRA?

Dare I say, the Chiefs lost in one of the Billiest ways I think we'll see this year. I think your Bills-colored glasses are on (and I realize I'm in the minority here). There's at least one replay that pretty clearly shows the ball going backwards. Certainly not enough to overturn the call on the field. The refs/review got it right, as much as I wanted it to be the other way.

I don't know anything but the two quoted posts. But if someone in the Bills org was sitting on this until an opportune time to get rid of McD, this would be it.

This sounds ridiculous, but I was in a meeting with camera on earlier. It was a great meeting, but damn did I really wish I could have gotten up to make some tea. Working at home has me so spoiled, lol.

I think the Sabres probably still have the best prospect pool in terms of talent, but not for building a complete team. I wholeheartedly believe in Best Player Available, but the second part of that is you need to be willing to trade some of those players for other equivalent quality players that bring something else to build the team. If seems like we're stuck at that point. Some of these guys, as much as we all like them, need to be turned into good gritty forwards and D for the Sabres to improve.

In my case, you start falling away. First, it was cancelling NHL tv (it being kinda terrible helped), then I took a long break from this site. I got sucked back to visiting here in the last year or so, but I'm really questioning that now too. You just find other things to do. (My avatar dates from the tail end my fandom before the break) Same, at best when I was really into it in the mid-2000s, I'd watch a game on TV on mute while listening to the Sabres stream (before I had Center Ice). I'd sometimes watch other playoff games, but not really. If it isn't the Sabres I'm not *that* interested.

You have to hope so.
