Doohickie you just missed it. Sabres onto the second round in that toddling town!

Three of us. Come back nellis

Two of us are waiting for others

https://rave.watch/kpGYt 9 p.m. so it has that Western feel. The video is a little over two hours. Sabres lead the series 2-1 so tonight they can clinch the best of 5.

Critical thinking! Folks, we're on our own. The pros like Rachel are not thinking or working for us. Corporate communications is in her future.

Also love the moving on part. Nothing to see here!

That's some great critical thinking. How did she confirm that? Who are the named sources? Yesterday she surely thought no part of the Bills was for sale. Clearly everything is on the table in the Pegula sports portfolio.

The Bills are selling everything except Pegula?

Sorry, it did not. It said "discussions" about the sale of a minority interest in the Bills involve the Bills and do not involve other teams. Well, duh. Another atrociously written release from the Pegula people.

Brawndo says he has heard that a minority interest in the team is up for grabs. AP reported yesterday that the NHL OKed someone to contact TP about buying the team. Part of the Bills is for sale.

And now the other thread, which addressed the Sabres piece of the story, and which now has more bite to it, is locked? So we have to come here and probably be accused of going off topic?

Billionaires with money problems. Cool. Hope they choke on it.

I'm thinking about it. A lot.

Good lord.

I'm not going to overthink this. We'll use the Rave-Watch Party app. Good reviews and over 50 million dloads. The game? Game 4 of the preliminary round in 1980 in Vancouver. If we can decide on a time I will start a GDT. I was hoping to create a fancy schmancy first post but it ain't happening. Hopefully we can crowd source the lineups, mini recaps of the first three games, context in Sabres history etc. The Sabres were babies. Only 10 years old. They had a whale of a team that year, Scotty's first. It was kind of an Indian Summer season for the 75 finalists. Would they finally go all the way?

There are some dudes behind that bench who give me pause. They seem like... Jackalopes. Jackaloupes in Canada. Full disclosure... I will enjoy their antics the next time the Sabres clinch a playoff series.

That quack? He told me to pretend the ball was my mother. And to keep my head up.

To be precise a contributor to that site tweeted it. And unnamed sources are a staple of journalism. Wouldn't confirmation have to come from the team or league? Having said all that, it doesn't seem like there's much to go on here. I just don't think your reasons are good ones.

Fingers crossed. The timing is also interesting. Did I miss the earlier reporting that there was a serious party interested in buying?

A mini opening to express my view that a new coach should always come in with his own trainers, equipment people, medical staff etc. I am not convinced a part of the toxic, losing atmosphere with the Sabres doesn't reside in all those people who are in the ears of the players. I'd toss broadcasters, team media people, alumni in that mix. Make a clean sweep, Berube.

For baseless rumour (h/t Smell) mongering, it got the big hitters in the media to run it down. That tells me there's smoke but maybe not yet fire. No way Wawrow et al were going to ignore the Internet chatter. Then the news that there has been an NHL approved party interested in buying the team. Think that happens by accident? Approval implies due diligence by the league re: the interested party. Seems like a big deal. Does the league want TP to sell? Is he not selling out of spite? Was the offer merely too low? So while this wasn't the pants anaconda I was hoping for, my garter snake is still at half staff as I write this. If Thorny likes this post, all bets are off.

Well this turned out to be a ***** shrinker.

How am I supposed to work with the old ladies the rest of the night with raging wood? They'll think I've been sampling from the med cart (again).

After watching that interview, I'm more convinced Alex is the best choice.

Tons of Sabres playoff games posted in their entirety on YT. We pick one. We pick one of those watch party/watch together sites that allow a group to watch the same video at the same time. We watch. And post. And pretend. Who's in?
