Funny how narratives change. At the start of the year no one would push back if you said "well, the Sabres. What do you expect?" Now you have Granato energizing players written off as duds under Botterill and Jack dropping his drawers to the media and perceptions change.

Yes. He's the owner. He makes the final decision. But it's often with input from his GM.

I thought it was Botterill's connection that brought Ralph to consideration. Of course Terry signs off on hires.

And how are they doing? He was interviewed for the Ducks GM job so who knows what they were thinking?

I just meant it's always easier to "predict" what was than what will happen. Same with any preseason prediction article you read. It always looks like last year's standings.

What was that about recency bias? 😂 It works both ways.

Don't make the same mistake we made with Ullmark with Anderson. Great guy but he's not the future. Get some assets for him now. You could always resign him or hire him as a coach. Miller is gone. Maybe Pysyk. I don't think I'd move Olafsson. Guy is just getting his touch back.

So you'd swap Krebs for Cozens? Both are great but you could only have one that draft. Now we have both.

Well we did get Cozens with that pick. Mmm-kay.

Any job interview Jason Botterill has in the future he needs to be asked what on earth he was thinking hiring RK to coach the Sabres. Then he needs to be shown the door and never hired for a front office position again.

He was waiting for Matthews after school.

Found out the free NHL app has the game audio. And WGR had it's issues. They didn't send Dunleavy and Ray to Hamilton. (Okay, I get a west coast trip, but to Hamilton??) And the ambient sound feed from the stadium was broken so they had a sfx loop of hockey sounds playing in the background, even when play was stopped. It was ridiculous.

Let's try to remember today the next time they lose. Tough west coast trip coming up. I suppose a loss to EDM wouldn't be the worst thing. They are chasing VGK.

The US crew on TNT sounded more like the Leafs crew. Non-stop Matthews tongue bath until it was obvious the Sabres were going to win. That and long stories from Gretzky while play was on.

😂

Blue Jackets seal it with an ENG 6-4. VGK loses again. That's a shame.

I thought TNT just took the Toronto feed.

Attention deprived tool.

Holy crap! Was it a good idea to bring a flaming birthday cake into a pile of paper confetti?

Never is a long time. You don't know how things will turn out.

Considered it but not at those prices. Couple of seats at $156 CDN. The rest around $300. There aren't many seats left as of noon.

Seeing the full Sabres kit, with the socks that match the jersey stripes, they look really good. The socks bring it all together.
