Is it stealing a win if you are the better team? I’d argue the opposite.Â

I am being told I'm hearing the story is true. Devon and his lady friend were seated near a whining baby at a Ground Round in Pembroke.

Does anyone even know who the refs names anymore? Â
I’m old and I can recall Hood, Armstrong, McCreary, Friday, Van Hellemond, Harris, Lewis, McCauley, and even linesmen like John D’Amico and Ray Scampanella.  Â
The Refs names were announced at the Aud by Milt Ellis, Â and on airwaves by Ted and RJ. Â It was part of the event. Â
ÂÂ
You can often see a lineup sheet listing the officials taped to the glass behind the Sabres' bench. Why? I have no idea.

There deffo were glimpses of the above-describrled going onÂ
Quinn is starting to put it together IMO
BUT, there were also glimpses of the "same old, same old"Â
Maybe they're starting to turn the corner???Â
The Titanic started to turn the corner.
The Sabres needed to be steaming safely to harbor right from opening night. Not ready for the season, not ready for games... unbelievable.
But lots of time left. We shall see. Happy Segmentarian Day.

7/10 at home for a team whose hair should be on fire to end the drought and they have 10 points.
It is what it is.

Beware The Bills Effect. Bros are still feeling it.

The team's social media team seems to think Kesselring is close.

Monday blues? The Bills won. The sun is out. The sesame seed in my partial just let loose. Life is good. I don't need Kesselring.

What those stats AREN'T showing, is the real problem with playing Mega Meh (aka UPL)Â
It's an "eye test" thing, though I'm sure the stats nerds could provide the analytical/empirical evidence to support what I'm seeing, and have been seeing since he's become the heir apparent netminder...
The WHOLE TEAM plays a different game when old sloe hands is in net, and it's not a game with a winning brand, IMO
It's as if they do not trust him to make certain, stock saves and they respond in kind, by playing tight/nervous. His $hitty play has a "cascade effect" on the team, and IF they begin to rely on this bum for multiple games this season, I can almost guarantee that the team warts that we've been plagued with witnessing in the recent past, will present themselves, again....
He's just a cloud of meh, and his downer vibes are contagious
Right on with the vibes. Lyon is right vibe at the right time. Enough with turd faced, depressed-looking Swedes.
Or Finns. Whatever.

It is easy to say after a game but I think they should have kept UPL in Rochester for the two weeks and given this game to Levi.Â
Three points against Leafs is a good result and it seems they have a better two way game than I’ve seen in a while. Now just keep taking points.Â
They have to win Tuesday. At least Ruff should be all over that messaging. It has to be about making the playoffs. Tomorrow is Game 10 and Ruff has to drive home they need 11 points in that segment. Minimum acceptable number. Lindy came up with Scotty, who used the 10 game segments (and might have been the first coach to do so; Taro, himself a Segmentarian, will help me out here).

Delayed reaction... Ellis went to Toronto on Friday morning? That seems weird. Does it say the team was worried about his mindset?

Personally think it is improbable the Sabres will pull UPL on the basis of one NHL outing after one AHL conditioning game and no training camp. If the Sabres go with three goalies, he is one of them. If they go with two, my bet it is Lyon and UPL
Think it is unfortunate Ellis had a stiff back taking him out of perhaps the biggest game of his career, Hockey Night in Canada in Toronto in front of millions. Wonder if stress didn’t contribute to his back ache?Â
There's a lot to read between the lines here: (sorry, couldn't copy and paste so went with the ole screenshot). From the OTH.

It matters for what the standings 'look' like today, but I am not concerned right now with who wins or loses on any given night especially this early.
The Sabres need to get to 95+ points. If they do that, they will invariably give other clubs more losses along the way. The daily standings do not matter much, not nearly as much as the path to 95+ points.
I could kiss you. We do this every year. Playoff position vs. playoff pace. The first 10 game segment has not turned into the disaster it looked like it could be, but the Sabres are below a playoff pace. Even with a win on Tuesday, they likely the rest of the way will need to pick up an extra point over the 12 point per 10 game pace that almost always puts a team into the postseason.

10 minutes of 5 on 5 maybe 4 on 4 and then maybe a Shootout or just call it.Â
NHL is behind the times still on this, I was stuck at work so missed the end, just saw some highlights but my point still holds.Â
PA standings have regulation wins, losses and ties, then an exhibition record that includes OT/SO results. It's a farce and an abomination.

Thanks for the Ellis info, fellas.

Dubious goalie decision. It smacks of putting winning on the back burner, a Sabres tradition since The Tank. See also: development year.

"Sabres: A threesome in front of the net... without Devon Levi"
-
The lineup is presented to the officials before the game. It doesn't change during the game.
 Zucker was in the lineup for the entire game, he just didn't finish the game.
Beyond that, the source of my annoyance is without a shred of data, people had Zucker indeed out of the lineup... for weeks... with bones cracked like kindling... in an iron lung. Which is the only reason Zucker Is Back! had any ring of truthiness.
He's not back. He didn't go anywhere except down the tunnel for a bit.
