Let's put it this way. Vegas is clinging to a playoff berth right now. If they don't make it and if Jack never becomes much of a contributor this year, especially when they put Stone on LTIR just to make room for him, seats are going to get warm in the Vegas front office.

Specifically in last night's game. He had two point blank chances he instead passed on.

Is this the same as living rent-free?

Still time for the Kraken to catch the Sabres but this ain't happening.

Small ice rink inside a mausoleum?

I kept thinking "this is where the Leafs get angry and start playing." But then I realized it's the Leafs we're taking about.

Sabres have 8 games left after that. But would it be more important to get Powers eligible for the AHL playoffs?

It's worth noting Anderson only had to come up big a couple of times instead of dozens of times. What you do in front of your goalie matters.

Money well spent.

We found their Kryptonite.

So at the start of the 3rd I put $5 on my betting app for the Leafs to come back and win. I figured I would put 2 irresistible forces against each other: the Sabres inability to hold a 2-goal lead, against my inability to win a bet.

This team has to close one out. Gotta do it.

Krebs needs to shoot more. Twice he's given up good chances.

I totally don't understand this comment. Are you suggesting that if the Sabres weren't for sale, they wouldn't try to get better?

Here's a good article on the Golisano era. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/tom-saved-hockey-in-buffalo-how-the-golisano-years-rescued-the-sabres/article_6ae709fc-fac8-5e61-bb8d-ea60ff8e35cb.html As for the team being good, Tom benefited more from timing. He bought right before the Lockout. The Sabres surprised everyone when play resumed. The real architect was Darcy Regier.

I believe $189MM was the price.

Hasn't their goaltending been sub par of late?

But take note that the idea of Hamilton team was dead in the water even before this came about.

True but they aren't scoffing at in-game revenue. In fact she if they betting money Congress from sports books right inside the stadium. My boss took me to a Pats game this year. He's a station ticket holder. It had been a few years since I had been to Gillette and it's changed quite a bit. A Davio's restaurant with game views and a huge sports book there now. Why add those things if revenue from attendance doesn't matter?

That was the one and only time that rumor was floated. That led to Peters vague prediction. Now the flourish of Jemel tweets.

And it might have been easy to say no when the Leafs and the league said "hell naw" to a team in Hamilton.

You act like owners don't care about the $5-6MM gross per game. Don't forget the road team gets 40%.

I agree Bettman would not like a relocation. But that's not a guarantee it won't happen. Moving the Coyotes doesn't change their franchise value that much. Moving the Sabres would. If Canada doesn't make crossing the border easy again, the Sabres won't be viable. The Bills can survive without Canada because they only have 10 dates with games once a week. Hockey has 41 home dates. Most are on weeknights. Which means you have to live nearby to go to games. Losing Canadians that will cross the border weeknights will kill the franchise.

Go on Two Bills Drive. The Bills are a national brand now. The Sabres are a quaint local distraction.
