Early schmozzle.

Surprised to figure out that my stream is only 12 seconds behind radio. Talent. No passion.

Damn it.

Look how dreary and lifeless the outside of the arena looks. No pride. Millions from taxpayers/Terry aren't the real answer.

Our Tops just stopped selling the Tops dough, which was plasticine, and plasticine is a word IDGAF. They now sell a Buffalo made dough called SupChef. It's terrific.

I thought he was streaming to his waffle maker.

MSG Plus and God willing I will be watching. Fargo gifs are locked and loaded. This feels like a two Oh Yah day. And very possibly a Dog Day Afternon. But maybe Afternoon Delight.

Given this is pointedly about DG, Dudacek, I'm not sure your points apply. It's my opinion he didn't earn an NHL job and he's a development coach. If the franchise's goal is to make the playoffs this year and DG fails, he has to go. You can't just say he's a competent coach and they're all the same and the next guy won't necessarily be better. He might not necessarily be better, but you have to try. The situation in Buffalo is almost unique. The pressure to get a real coach if the drought lives on will be enormous. Rightly so.

You might have had me until the very end. Go on...

John I hope the team and this board can somehow help you through this. Sorry to hear the news. You are a good brother.

Who's confirming it?

Why?

Funny. You're the one who can't read the negative posts after a loss and runs off to bed. But not before telling those posters to take a deep breath or take a long walk or whatever. You're mad at the mad but mad?

31 other teams are pretty happy about it too.

Tsk tsk. Careful BobbyO. Wouldn't wanna ruin narratives with facts.

Not a fan of keeping track of what place the Sabres are in? I think we have this discussion early every season. Hey, we're only six points out. Don't fall that many back and expect to make them up.

Maybe you guys can call the arena and try to pass these ideas on.

Who's debating?

I said I could buy it. How to label him isn't that important to me.

The first, yes. My memory is fuzzy on the second but will take your word for it.

Fun with words. Are all NHL players elite? Of course. They're the best of the best of the best players in the world. How good is the worst player on the PGA Tour? Is Dahlin elite among all NHL players? I might not go that far. Is he elite among all NHL defensemen? I can buy that. 180ish top six D in the league. Is Dahlin in the top 5 or 10 percent? Sure. But that put him out of the Norris running. Others did not judge him elite of the elite. Look... He's really good. If I'm lukewarm about him or any other really good Sabre, it has everything to do with continuing drought, which looks on early returns to still be a thing. I need to see elite players drag a team into the top half of the league, then perform in the playoffs. Was he elite two or three years ago? Obv. not given how Krueger was roundly criticized for "ruining" him.

I saw only the highlights because although MSG Plus allowed me to see the Habs game, it wouldn't let me replay the game after I got home last night. It does let me replay the game today. I plan on watching it tonight.

Deluca has been credited with coining what SabreSpace term?

You can't have it both ways. You can't say Krueger ruined him then argue he was elite at the time. Elite is subjective. I think for a lot of fans it has to be in the context of winning something. Otherwise he's Barry Sanders.

Or at least the one that comes up as the first when searching today. What year was it? Who wrote it? What was the subject?
