    You still can't get you're numbers right, he's 31st.  He's played 30 games and if you remove anyone in the teens for GP, he's 23rd.  I at least got two people to agree with my post, you got zero.  You want to hate all things Sabres, flame away, but I believe most are tired of it.  

    When something is good, it's ok to say it.  UPL is good.  He's taken on the 7th most shots, so of course his percentage is up.  

    Your username betrays you.

    I've never cared about how many people agree with me.

    You jumped the shark on UPL. Could anyone have imagined three years ago...? That what? He'd be a fair NHL starter? Yes, many could have.

    I don't hate all things Sabres. I love the history, the logos, Rick, Ted, The Aud, the memories.

    I do despise most of the people who reside in the current House of Sabres.

    What are you talking about?  No he isn't.

    If we're counting all goalies who've played this season, yes he was. He climbed to 45th with the shutout.

    If you want to cull out guys who played a game or two, it looks like he's 33rd on another list.

    More to the point, he's off his OK pace from a year ago and has been a disappointment overall and a reason the Sabres are in last place.

    You want to make a sweeping statement about UPL's career trajectory after a shutout? Gaslight away.

    I am in no way wishing anything away. You are avoiding my challenge by throwing platitudes at me. "The record is the record." Bill Parcells might have said that but it's totally meaningless beyond being a record. It came about from hundreds if not thousands of smaller factors. You are more interested in assigning blame than pinpointing a cause. You want the owner to own this but you can't point to anything he's done to bring this about beyond hiring the wrong people. 

    And that would be enough. After all he's responsible for his hires. But people here also accuse him of meddling in team affairs. And I have yet to see anyone point to an instance of that happening. We certainly try to weave evidence. "$7 million of unspent cap is surely proof!!" But it really isn't.

    I 100% agree.  I know this sucks but making stuff up, doesn't make anyone right.  I'll say something positive about a loss and this place goes crazy.

    Then someone will say Pegula should sell the team, even if they leave Buffalo.  They'll get 20 thumbs up.  Ok, that's not crazy, saying UPL played well is.

    I loved your line "we certainly try to weave evidence".  Masterfully said.  

    This is the world we live in.

    The earth isn't flat? Prove it!

    Terry isn't the root of all evil? Prove it.

    Spoiler alert: he engineered the tank. At least according to Darcy. The extent of the rebuild would never have gone that far had the GM been in charge of it.

    EEE is Terry's plan. Do you think the various decisions made under that banner haven't hurt the team's competitiveness? Do you think a GM would ever choose to run a team this way?

    But keep lickin' them boots. Someday your yacht will come.

    You always wonder how citizens support despots out to destroy a country. Ours has destroyed our beloved team, and he has his fans. His gaslighters.

    Astounding.

    We're definitely a hard luck organization. But saying "Micky Mouse" over and over isn't proof.  I mean at least with the NY Jets there are news reports of owner Woody Johnson making personnel decisions based on Madden scores.

    How bout moves based on, I saw that kid in the playoffs and he sure had wheels? Or someone embarrassed the high minded Sabres organization? Or wanted to get a certain surgery?

    Hard luck? Really?

  14. Are we going to play this "in the hunt" game again?

    And of all people Harrington is going to lead the way?

    I understand Lindy and Duffer and Marty stoking hope.

    But reality check... they are DFL in the conference with 35 points at the halfway mark. You can spin it baseball style (3.5 games) or six points or points percentage, but you'd be wrong to suggest the Sabres are anywhere in the hunt.

    Nine games left this 10 game segment. If they get 12 of the next 18 available points, maybe we can restart the conversation. For the segment that's the 70% point pace they'll probably need all the rest of the way.

  16. Is "accountability" even possible in the Sabres organization?

    Yeah.

    I do hold out hope that there’d be something … new.

    What’s the definition of insanity?

    Uh oh. Triggered inky.

    The thing with Terry is that he does speak about the Bills. He's done several interviews in recent weeks. You can say the interviews were meant to address his sale of minority interests, but he did talk about the team. Now Terry could have done similar interviews last offseason to address upgrades to the arena, but he didn't. The man has ghosted us, and I don't think it's any more complicated an explanation than he got booed on RJ night.

    Oh yeah Terry is shown during Bills camp and he's been in the lockerroom after every Bills win (at least every video I've seen). He even got a game ball and made a speech.
