That holiday break is when their physical and mental stamina crashed and never recovered. That has been the excuse and somewhat believable.

Meatballs says "hello".

And what is the delta each year for @PASabreFan posting this annual thread?

UPL is good for a goal this year. So that makes 255. Bank on it.

They actually do, at least in the near term. You think an entity like Key Bank would commit to something that was day-to-day volatile? No chance. Business is business. There is a plan in place that Key Bank finds acceptable for now.

It just tells you they already know how they're going to handle the arena going forward. It's business.

Thank God you added the paranthetical.

The Sabres will move games to the Northtown Center at Amherst before Pegula spends another dime on the team.

Didn’t you watch American Primeval? You have the Mormons all wrong.

Unbelievably brilliant in Sabbath. He didn't write the lyrics but no one could deliver them like he did. I would have loved to have seen Sabbath in the early days.

Many people get stuck in the valleys of their lives. With the Sabres, believe or no, we're not talking about average people, we're talking about competitors at the highest level. The players can decide to collectively walk up the hill, despite the foibles of the organization, just to see what the view is like from the ridge line, even if only for a season.

I think I saw Byram making attempts to hit people last season. I dunno, there are several unknown variables leading into next season. I mean, there's a good chance we don't miss Peterka's output at all. It's not like he was amazing. A first pair of Dahlin and Byram should be satisfactory defensively and will likely be a legit offensive threat. It could be alright.

It'll make it easier to trade him now that his price is set.
