Coke sucks. Got me doing some highly questionable *****. Like good 90s movie *****. Thankfully only me the dealer and the hooker know exactly what happened.

Immediate repercussions

I’d suck Dylan Cozens dick

A goalie with worse stats than UPL GO Sabres!

I’ve had enough beer and weed to kill a small child…perhaps even a medium sized one…let’s see how this goes. no idea why I’m italicized

I haven’t heard one person argue for keeping him

Because the NHL is a niche league without enough national TV contracts (see the current debacle with having to have 4 different streaming services to watch all your teams games), that they absolutely 1000% rely on local TV money to give them any hope of making money outside of a few select markets. Yeah that’s what I thought. Garage league to its core.

I’m not convinced he’s any good. At all. anymore.

I feel like I’m witnessing someone’s death here

I wouldn’t fret. He’s pretty much said at every turn he isn’t sacrificing long term success for immediate gains. I believe him.

To be fair, the team hasn’t implemented a “tank” if you will since 2015. They have just sucked since then.

Too bad 26 shirts didn’t come up with this.

Watching this game was like watching any team playing the tank years Sabres. They toyed with the Ducks. Got a couple of bad breaks in the 2nd period, then they kicked it into another gear and demolished this team like they should have.

They all make mistakes. I have a hard time holding Clague accountable for turning a fight down with a player 3” taller and 30 lbs heavier. At least Clague is the size of an adult as opposed to Bryson (he’s listed at 5’9” but he’s not).

That is the NHL

Analytics for starters. He’s super tuned into that world. Devaluing of RBs, watching all 22, relationships with guests that are like minded.

The dreaded Casey “Fortnite” Mittlestadt boyish waif ugly mug curse. Chalk up a loss tonight. Ugh.

I made it half way through the second period last game. Hoping to make it at least through the end of the 2nd tonight.

Not sure if they plan on going with DiBiasi (who has been filling in during Hosi’s absences) is a long term plan but I love the kids content. Smart, intuitive, opinionated, and more aligned with younger fan takes.

Didn’t they just have one?

Now if they can just find a way to mute the mic during intermissions so I don’t have to hear all of his bodily functions, it would be great. Seriously though, he’s been the voice of the Amerks for the entirety of my rooting life. Glad he got recognized. Fun fact, he’s my in laws neighbor. See him all the time.

I was thinking about this watching the fist half of the game last night. Good teams have leaders that will put the team on their shoulders and push through. We have young leaders like Cozens, Dahlin and Tuch but they don’t seem like they are ready for that role (Tuch probably should be for all the “future captain” talk in the off-season). Our current leaders, Girgs and Okposo, aren’t capable of carrying the team through tough stretches because of dwindling talent (Okposo) or not enough skill (Zemgus). Until the aforementioned young leaders achieve the status where they can will their team to win, this team is going to struggle. All teams have tough stretches. Good ones have leaders that keep it together. The Sabres aren’t there yet. The help they need isn’t coming from the draft (sans Bedard). They will need to figure it out or bring in some more talent.
