Yeah. That generally ends up being the story whenever a sports writer or ostensible member of the "media" frequents this place. In addition to Hoppe, there's Wawrow and some other guy (Dylan something?) whose screen name is eluding me (he wasn't a writer, per se, but I think he was working in (or wanting to work in) sports media.)
Stebbins. I also can't remember the screen name. He's been gone for awhile. Active on Twitter.

The other thing that seemed to go unchecked was KA saying the cost of getting forward help over the summer was too high.
The obvious follow on... What was the cost of not acting? A playoff berth, innit?
Innits, go home. Little pissants.

I couldn't get through the whole thing. Did anyone ask Kevyn about The Brawndo Question... Whether he now has the freedom to spend to the cap, etc.? Mike seemed to trigger KA with a question about Terry. How dare someone mention the owner's name?
KA gave a rousing defense of Terry and he did say, I think, that Terry provides all the resources he asks for/needs. So why isn't he asking for more?
Still waiting for the day the Sabres figure out a way to let us hear the media questions. Maybe they don't want us to? Would be smart, innit?

Hat tip to @BillHoppe. He framed that write-up so carefully that I took it to mean nothing. But, in retrospect, I think he must have had the scoop.
Remember when he used to run a thread here of "Ask Bill" or something?
He didn't stay long. I don't think he felt he was afforded the appropriate level of respect.

It could be a nice spot to walk into. Someone else has done the dirty work.
Add to the mix some roster control and an idea that Terry is willing to spend and agree to stay out of it.
Great franchise tradition, fan base willing to come back with a vengeance, as close to a Canadian team as you can get etc.

Jeff Halpern Tampa Assistant as possible replacement.
The coaching tree angle is intriguing. It's the one kind of first timer that they could sell to the fans. Hey, this guy trained under a Cup winner and is in the next generation of great coaches.

So they hired a coach that they knew couldn’t get them to the playoffs? Yeah….that makes sense.
Did anyone think DG would be here for Cup runs? He served his purpose. Adams might even be relieved they didn't sneak into the playoffs.

If the internal cap was real you’d think a new coach would make sure it’s a thing of the past?
As an understanding before taking the job, yes.

They need to sell the fans on someone. It can't be a rookie coach. Not even Peca. It just can't be.
If it's Ruff, it's a very good sign. I never thought he was fired but instead wanted out when he saw the tanking handwriting on the wall.
For him to return it would mean 1. He has been assured Terry is committed to winning (read: spending) and 2. He will be given some control over the roster.
Win-win. Then win.

I don't feel anything. I thought I would be happy or excited or curious or something. I feel nothing, like why should I even care?
Because each season is a chemistry experiment. You put different chemicals in the beaker and agitate. UPL of this season next season... Some good additions... The Tage of old... especially a new coach. The beaker could blow (if an explosion is what we're looking for).
I feel you, but we've all come this far. Don't go wobbly on us. This is a good day.
Also the goddamned second sunny day in a row! Where were you last Monday?

The HC should always be allowed to pick his staff.
Of course. Maybe I had a brain fart, but isn't there precedent for GMs hiring assistants?

Don had a lot of faults but he did a lot of good too
Plus I think we can all agree he is a good man
wish him the best of luck.
No we can't. We don't know him personally. Maybe some do, I dunno.

Wilford and Ellis?
It's odd, innit? Leave it up to the next coach? Certainly Adams wouldn't saddle the next guy. But who picks assistants?
-
Good. I thought the video coach was actually pretty good. He's the review guy no?
Interesting list tho. Please don't tell me...
-
Is there such a thing as honor? Would DG look in the mirror and say, "Donnie, this isn't your wheelhouse" and resign?
He could leave with his head held reasonably high.

Adanato is growing on me. It might trigger Woody tho. He's had to tell many patients they have infected adanatos.

That’s a wrap on another successfully completed Sabres season. Was a pleasure sharing GDTs with you folks
i don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve
So you're saying there's a chance you know you like me?

Do visiting NHL teams have their own camera feeds?
Good question. The creepees are also always wearing Sabres gear.

Nobody does the creeper video of the woman/little kid at a concession stand like the Buffalo Sabres. Always shot from behind and always ends with the creepee finally seeing the camera and acting with surprise.

Sabres looking to add to their (lead). Thanks Dan.
I bet Tampa will be pushing to tie it.

She stole it from Doooogie.

We ARE watching a Sabres playoff game on Friday night, damn it all to Hell
in The Aud Club
Posted · Edited by PASabreFan
Tons of Sabres playoff games posted in their entirety on YT.
We pick one.
We pick one of those watch party/watch together sites that allow a group to watch the same video at the same time.
We watch. And post. And pretend.
Who's in?
