I better write something. You know damned well my doctor took away my license and a previous male aide stole my precious Grande Pierre. Why are the Sabres in a development phase that's slower than molasses? Is it KA's plan or Terry's? Did the triple E mantra precede KA as GM or did he conjure it up? The owner is clearly making strategic decisions instead of his hockey people. It's at least the third time he's done so in a major way. (Spend Now, Tank, Go Young and Cheap.) If that's not meddling for 11-plus years, what is?

That snap made me nervous. The tightness of it all and possibly Josh tweaked his injury. I would bet anything the coaches debated various ways to proceed. Shotgun snap and throw it away if no one's wide open. Or Josh rolls out. The element of surprise would have been enormous. Yeah I know. It's 20/20 hindsight.

I'd laugh if Terry was here. And was someone cool like Marvin or Darth.

BOGO at Tops, so we have that going for us.

They were junior Sabres. Follow along. (Your posts can be very refreshing.)

That's crap and you know it.

Incredible. I'm not back. I'm not built for this anymore.

I was gonna say put the backup QB in to take the snap if there was any doubt about Josh's health, but nah.

Hello Picarcic.

I might be back. ***** me.

Don't be dumb and don't be dirty. Bills were both. Poor Marv.

They already played Allentown. @Sabres Fan in NS

Wild and wacky stuff in OP.

That wasn't bright. Maybe I'm a dinosaur too.

That's beside the point. It's the message you send. We're trying to build a winning culture here. It's like Don is saying, "These kids aren't ready for the emotional jolt of giving up ANOTHER empty net goal and seemingly getting routed after a very close game to that point." He'd surely pull the goalie if it were a playoff game. It's unsettling to say the least. Always a day away.

We went down together. Narrator: No, they didn't.

To be clear I agree on the early pull. I'm still mad about throwing in the towel. Of course this was always the way back in the day. If you went down by two with even five minutes to play, the announcers, the coaches, everyone thought it was over. That decision and the goalie pulls... Don sure comes off as a dinosaur.

Have we no evidence?

It's more about the coach's mindset. You fight until it's hopeless.

No. After it was 3-1.

Playoff game that goalie comes out. Must win situation. That says it all. Don saw all he needed to see... Kids played hard. Barf.

Lol. He didn't pull him at all! The Sabres had clear control in the o zone after the penalty. Plenty of time left.

Please tell me why you wouldn't pull the goalie there. That's quitting. Sorry.

Didn't know that could be challenged.
