I'm reading but there's still something missing for me but as you said, it's stale talking much more about it. IMO, Buffalo has some inherent challenges and they've created some too. That's why to me, the strict answer you're debating is, there are challenges other teams don't have. Regardless of how.ni mean you're all but saying it, they're stuck. Id say the Sabres are like someone that ran slow, shot themselves in the foot and run slower. Further solidifying, IMO, the only way out is to build from the draft.

But you said these obstacles are fictional. Now they're a reality? I'm just trying to understand what you're saying. I've never known the Sabres to be a favorite destination for free agents. They've never had a reputation as a well run organization in my lifetime. I could be wrong because I tried understanding hockey later in life.

Three years ago I'm not sure any of us could have dreamed UPL was going to be this solid.

But that's not really what you said homie. You said KA is a dumbass for not having more vets so Benson can be in Rochester. Now he embarrasses all other Sabres? Benson is special, IMO. I don't think it hurts anyone or anyone should be embarrassed because there's a 19 year old that they can all acknowledge, that kids going to be good. But that's not really what you said homie.

Kid just looks and plays stone cold to me. I'm having a hard time not believing he's going to be a stud.

No argument he needs to get stronger. I just don't see it stunting his growth. IMO, he fits in the NHL right now. I just don't get the sense there's poison in that locker room. I think his playing time is appropriate and he's handling the situations he's being put in. Now if he wasn't growing and sitting games because he's not ready, I'm with you, that's when I'd want him down. It can get a little wild wild west in the AHL too and I'm not sure I'd want him there.

With respect, Benson is exactly where I want him. He's developing nicely and I don't see anything hindering him being in the NHL.

Which youngsters do you wish weren't playing, so two vets can?

I know the puck ricochet'd off the defender and didn't get to Benson, but man I love the kid for being in that position. He's quickly becoming my favorite player.

Love it

I recognize Pegula has failed. I just don't agree totally on the why. To me this is my disagreement with most here. A conversation can't be had because the the nonsense starts, IMO. Just because I don't believe someone that believes the proof of meddling is, "he's literally in the meetings" or anything to that effect - doesn't mean I'm a shill, ball washing or waiting for Terry to buy me a yacht. I don't believe Terry is making player decisions. I don't think he's telling GM's to draft certain players. I also don't think he's cheap. He has a significant history of spending, until very recently. I don't know why and neither do any of you. Maybe he's been talked into it by KA. Maybe he told KA he's not making enough and spending to spend isn't something he wants to do.

The organization created obstacles that don't exist?

I 100% agree. I know this sucks but making stuff up, doesn't make anyone right. I'll say something positive about a loss and this place goes crazy. Then someone will say Pegula should sell the team, even if they leave Buffalo. They'll get 20 thumbs up. Ok, that's not crazy, saying UPL played well is. I loved your line "we certainly try to weave evidence". Masterfully said.

Which prospect does he feel this way about? Savoie?

Sorry, it's rough, but that guy cracks me up.

Go to YouTube and search; Catfish Cooley pickled pigs feet. Proceed with caution, but it's one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed.

I mean, we came close to winning that game. Seconds close. Did I say we're ready to win the cup?

I just thought it was impressive we went up on them again and it showed something to me. Then it happened again. I just can't ignore that there it's a positive thing they were winning late, again.

For us, it had the feeling of, things are just happening too fast and caused the mishap. I understand what you're saying, we just all felt bull rushed.

I agree it's mental and physical. In the end there was definitely physical dominance happening.

Painful loss. I hope this causes them to come together like no other time - because I think this kind of loss has the power to just as easily do the opposite. They needed this win and if it's torture for us, it has to be unimaginable for them.

What happened in the OT was almost entirely, not mental. IMO they aren't fragile. They played one of the best teams and had them. To me they got overwhelmed physically at the end.

Also proud of how Byram is conducting himself in his post interview.

Marty looks like he's been crying.

Zucker is acting like a true professional right now in his interview.
