Who decides that? Then explain the drop when the Sabres aren't playing?

True. I just meant that on mid-week work nights folks would not want to risk ANY delay due to an over-zealous border grunt.

Albany FireWolves are relocating to Ontario for upcoming season https://share.google/IVRO1Yigvutm765cQ That's a shame but it's not like Albany showed up in big numbers. I drove from NH two years ago when the Bandits had a playoff game there and they barely had 4,500, and maybe 1,000 were Bandits fans.

Turns out beating Arizona would have been the better move.

Every "dud" Sabres goalie magically gets better when they leave. There's a reason. Also D includes the forwards.

Thanks for posting. I was going to as well. Really drove home the point that what goes on in front of the goalie matters as much as the goalie. The Eric Comrie story was telling. Let's hope the Sabres defensive moves fix this issue.

I was offered tickets for Neil Young in two weeks in NH. Jon Anderson can still hit those high notes.

He likes it

Ratzlaff is 20. Leinonen is 21. I assume they battle for the #2 spot with the Amerks.

Wilson's daughter, I believe her name was Linda Bogdan, was a pioneer in the NFL when few women held any positions. I don't know her level of skill as a scout, but one player she did find for the Bills was linebacker Carlton Bailey. Which led to hockey's Justin Bailey to be born in Buffalo.

Okay.

My point is he doesn't really matter in the end, if he's retained or not. It's the core platers that matter.

It's probably AI written. 😂

You are correct. This is a make or break year, not so much for Adams but for Dahl's and Tage, and probably Tuch if he takes a wait n see strategy to resigning. But I think this off-season has been markedly different from the rest of Adams tenure. There has been a change of philosophy from the fast and skilled Granato model that peaked two years ago when they reached 91 points and just missed. Now the focus is on toughness and being harder to play against. Jarmo Kekalainen must be having something to say about it. I also think Ruff is adding his two cents as well. Every player except Lyon has fit that mold. You may not like what the Sabres have done this off-season, but to say they've done little or nothing couldn't be further from the truth.

So are you saying you are done with Levi?

I'll give you $100 if you find me saying this was a "genius" marketing move. I said it was a proper event for your largest sponsor. You know you lost an argument when you resort to making up stuff.

In other words, nothing. And the "fireworks" are for the sponsor who is giving you lots of money. Are you that offended by a corporate PR event? Have you never worked in a field that sold sponsorships? Obviously Key Bank, the 22nd largest bank in the USA, had no qualms over signing up for another ten years tied to the Sabres.

Goaltenders should not be rushed. Levi is very much on a Ryan Miller trajectory and he spent 3 years, I think, with the Amerks. This will be year 3 for Levi.

Well, no other NHL team has an expiring lease coming up. Dallas is next in 2030. But what exactly makes this situation unstable? Yes there is a question of who will end up owning the arena, but the arena is not going away. The Sabres have made no threats to leave, not overtly or covertly. So they will keep playing at KBC. Crisis averted.

You know the drill. Everything is stupid. Everything is a joke. Everything is a crisis. Blah, blah, blah.

What are you basing this on? Did Levi not just finish a terrific season in the AHL? Before he got roughed up by Laval he had a 2+ game shutout streak vs Syracuse. Levi is still on schedule. There's no need to rush him. Take a breath.

THIS IS SO SABRESY!! THEY OVERPAID!! WHAT A JOKE!!! Am I doing this right?
