Not to be too snarky (yeah right) but does this mean anything more than if we win out we're in? 103 points. There's just so little room for error.

Sometimes you gotta say what the *****.

Let's forget Arizona. Is this how some of you plan to weasel out of a good discussion? Straw Man in the Desert.

What if Terry's meddling (defined to me as the owner on a macro level telling the GM how to achieve the organizational goal of winning the Cup... First no restraint on spending/let's go for it, then a dig up the foundation teardown tank, then accelerate the rebuild then Economic Effective Efficient) brought the Sabres back to what worked so well for decades: the lean mean overachieve small market little engine that could? Which is where Terry started off and which might have carried right on if Darcy had been able to sensibly tap into fewer financial constraints? I'll hope for that and that the meddling is gone or limited and when the time is ripe the financial support will be there. I always said Terry COULD be the perfect owner. It's the slow jamming Jimmy Fallon rebuild that's making me nervous and suspicious.

I think fans are fans.

The youth excuse. The patience excuse. The injury excuse. The small market excuse. The uniform excuse. The...

Does it matter?

Yeah. OK. But this makes me weep. This is The. N. F. H. L.

Which coaches will get fired for the atrocious D/PK?

Because clearly that would be a sign the Sabres are committed to winning.

What a murderers row behind the Sabres bench. Laughable really. Not a lick of success coaching at any level in the NHL. Ya get what ya pay for.

I also keep waiting to see the Sabres buckling down in the d zone. Lots of breakdowns without the grade A chances. Hockey is truly a funny sport.

Through the first... When does this get highly entertaining?

I haven't been to bed yet. Been doing crack gobsmack and good golly miss molly. When I watched videos of Power his helmet was straight. I might walk down to Arbys for some breakfast sammies.

Born then? AA was selling umbrellas on Dealey Plaza.

If the players know winning is not the goal, yet or ever, what are they playing for? More pointedly who are they playing for?

How is it possible this is lacking in an NHL team?

You mean to say winning has not been emphasized to these young players so that they can learn the essential lessons of the game? What steps into that void?
