Something happen today that gave you that impression?

Oh darn, they scored.

It's chippy though.

Sabres got gassed by a delayed penalty, 2-1 C-bus.

It's a prospects challenge, key word here is "prospects."

I forgot this was on. But I had something going on anyway. Tomorrow.

Who was in net?

Benson's new nickname: "Mini Donuts."

Adam played in the Kings system in Manchester NH. I watched him a bunch with the AHL Monarchs. Sorry to hear this.

Ironic how you accuse me of fawning. Then you literally accused me of "not holding the Sabres accountable for having a positive take of the Tuch news.

You are really asking this question?

Lol, I'm sure you would have felt the Sabres did well by not signing Tuch. You wouldn't have raked them over the coals for letting a "key player" walk. Oh no no no. 😂 You are really in love with your takes, declaring Tuch as not being worth it, though I'm convinced this stance only emerged when the Tuch extension story was floated. Not to mention your confident predictions of bad deals for Norris, etc. I actually laugh at your attempts to spin everything as a disaster. Hockey season is just a month away. Can't wait.

You seem to think taking a dump on everything the Sabres do is "holding them accountable." Not everything they do is bad. Sometimes it's good. It's not a crime to acknowledge that. You aren't going to just encourage bad behavior by giving them credit for something.

So you don't want to extend Tuch, or is this just you coping?

Incorrect. I portray it as something unexpected because the common belief was Tuch would not extend with Buffalo and would leave as soon as he could. And it's irksome to those who were counting on that happening to affirm their opinion of the team.

Can you explain this for me?

I think what irks you more is Tuch extending now flies in the face of the narrative that's been built all offseason that Tuch was as good as gone. Now we hear he may be signing before the season begins. Clutch your pearls

What they needed was to improve the defensive play so we don't give away scoring chances like (quoting Lindy) "Halloween candy." I think they took several steps toward that this offseason.

Why did the poll leave out "The Sabres?"

How many chefs can fit in one kitchen?

Tuch wasn't a "Tuch type" player before he got here. Zucker was considered some 3rd line JAG when the Sabres signed him. McLeod? Who liked that trade when it happened? To write off Doan before he even steps on the ice is silly. As for your comment about standards and expectations, that assumes the Sabres choose to aim low. It's just as possible they aim for the stars and get rejected. In fact that's probably closer to the truth than the team not wanting to make impact moves. I believe the Sabres made every move they could but not every move they wanted. They improved the grit factor while losing some scoring.

14 years doesn't matter to Tuch. The past 4 do. What happened before he arrived isn't important. As for money, he can get paid almost anywhere. He's going to sign where he is happiest. And I have to believe he has a better sense than any of us of where the Sabres are heading. If after this offseason he's willing to sign a deal, that tells you he thinks we are trending the right way.

It's hard to imagine but maybe he likes it better and thinks the team is improving? Doan?

You can hate the team AND the player. It's a win-win.
