Everybody wants to rule the world.

Almost eliminated. 5 p.m. start on a Saturday. ESPN game. At the Isles. Expectations for the GDT should have been low. There's a process happening here, folks.

Kyle's goal was... interesting. Kind of like the old fella who aims wait to the right of the hole, comes over the top, burns the worms and rolls it into the cup. Or it was sneaky good.

Agreed. He is and always was our ticket to the dance. Still not too late...

Recrimina she owns! Stay classy. But... HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM NOW!

As great a posting season as Thorny is having... Who does the banners here? Can I get one? SECOND LONGEST TIME TO BE DISAPPOINTED 2011-2023

But srsly did it appear as if KA tried to parlay that strong finish last season and those stirring RJ wins and being on the cusp a few weeks ago into Playoffs?!™?

I watch.

You're holding other teams to their season pace but sending the Sabres on a fantastic run. I don't see any way that 90ish points gets them in.

They were a playoff threat. I hate them and this board and am not going anywhere.

Can we get a jerkoff emoji.

A possible glaring need is players who won't spit out the bit next March again. This could be additions or subtractions and if done right could yield surprises. KA better know his team better than we do. Of course this approach to building a team applies only if KA is concerned about making the playoffs... Or is alllowed to be concerned.

This makes no sense. Sorry. Compare apples to apples.

Can he be unofficially recalled?

What's the goal of Pride Night?

The dreaded run to end the season. They already ran. That's all you need to know about this group.

Paywall for me but the snippet on the Sabres Report page of this site seems to suggest Lance has a way for the Sabres to get CLOSER to the playoffs next year. Wait for it. Pod.

The warden should have.

Winker.

I'll give you a facile answer. If you had told Barry Trotz "go make the playoffs," the arena bunting would be stacked in the corridors. One of my fave memories of the Aud... The playoff bunting. And yes it's unfair of me. I think I'm mad at Don for things he can't control.

Terry Pegula: "I'm a Football Guy" - Buffalo Bills https://www.buffalobills.com/video/terry-pegula-i-m-a-football-guy-13970610

People think I'm a hockey guy but I'm a football guy. There just happened to be a hockey team for sale. Decent paraphrase. Will try to find the actual quote.

When or if the Sabres are ever going on playoff runs, DG will not be the coach. That's evident to me. He probably knows it too. He was given a job and has done it well enough. We're starting to see signs he's taken this team as far as it will go. The question is how cold hearted and rational KA wants to be. I'd have no problem with a new coach next fall (duh). Go get an established winner and make a definitive statement. I wouldn't be fooled into thinking the young core is in love with DG. They are mini corporations and want to make money and want to win. Likely what KA will need is a pretense to fire... Slow start next season for example. Or missing the playoffs again. Of course that'll put KA on the hot seat too.

There's no cottage industry like the prospect cottage industry like no industry I knoooooooow...

This is for @JohnC too... Does KA have a co conspirator in DG? I mean DG just talked about how defensive teams aren't feared, how scoring is fun for the players and fans, etc. High event hockey.
