Remember when I hypothesized about a local billionaire who likes the Sabres? Who knew??

"Mike Augello of The Hockey News gives his take on the firing of Don Granato, the team's inability to add during this past off-season and who might be the next captain of the Sabres." (This discussion begins at 47:33) https://www.sportsnet.ca/590/jeff-marek-show/l-a-eyes-potential-opponents-buffalo-makes-a-coaching-change/

Lindy is what? 64? He's not going to want to coach forever (I assume.) What if you brought back Lindy Ruff while promoting Seth Appert to an associate HC role and presumed heir to the job after Ruff retires?

Old Sabre nostalgia.

From the "be careful what you wish for" department: Who is goin to spend $650MM to $1B to keep a franchise in Buffalo? Sure, there might be another billionaire from the Buffalo area with a crush on the Sabres. (Although look at the way we treated the last one.) It's way more likely, especially with how Ryan Smith was able to pressure the NHL to sell him the Coyotes, that some out-of-market group would start sniffing around the Sabres. And if you're Terry, how tempting would it be to take a billion with the added bonus of no arena upgrades you have to pay for?

"Ladies and gentlemen... Please welcome your Atlanta Sabres!"

Maybe Seth Appert has got some juice?

After a brutal 4-4-4 stretch in February, the Amerks are 14-4-1 since Mar. 1.

Can't. Busy watching the Amerks.

The tiebreaker in AHL standings is regulation wins. SYR leads ROCH 29-24. So Amerks have to get a head of the Crunch to secure the 1-seed.

Syracuse loses in a shootout. Amerks tied for 1st until Friday at least.

Big win. Tied for 1st with SYR for now.

Must be ice cream night at the arena. Everyone is eating a cone.

Yes you do. If I were you just pay the $8 each for the last two games Friday and Sunday. Then sign up for the playoff package for $30. You'll see everything.

Biro shortie. 2-1 Amerks. KULICH!!! 🤯 3-1!! Murray looking for his cup right now. 😂

Belleville ties it. 1-1. 2P.

1-0 end 1. Solid game for the good guys. Syracuse leads Belleville 1-0 after 1.

Kulich from Rosen. Sabres future 3C.

You know who came in and is having an impact? Wahlberg.

Amerks are on a tear and still fighting for 1st seed so that's probably why they didn't. That's exciting.

The Amerks have clinched a playoff berth but can end up anywhere between seeds 4 through 1 over the next 3 games. Seed 1 earns an extended break waiting for the 4-5 winner. Seed 2 gets home ice in the series against seed 3. The Marlies also have clinched and can be seed 5 through 1. The other key game tonight is Syracuse @ Belleville. An Amerks win plus a Crunch loss puts Rochester in first and in control of seed 1. A Belleville win eliminates the Laval Rocket. All teams have 3 games remaining except for Laval with 2.
