In overrrrrrtime. Nice win boys. Keep it going.

True. Maybe the Pegulas finally get it? We can only hope.

You don’t have to reach into the football bag to find character or team character, team building philosophies etc. Teams have been doing it in the NHL for a century. Team building in the NHL isn’t lacking in any way. The Pegulas ability to see it and emulate the various models of how to do it has.

Wow 29 pages. Enjoyed the heck out of that game. Thank you team.

The quote that stood out to me was “ tirefire “

Squid Game. Loved it.

🤔not sure whats going on here ?

This one is morphing into the ROR trade all over if he goes to Vegas. They have been close to winning it all. Jack might get his Conn Smyth and Stanley Cup much like ROR did.

KA is wilting

Not saying he does peruse Sabrespace but Mike Harringtons latest in the Buffalo News sounds oddly familiar. I realize others can have original thought independent of Sabrespace but just sayin...lol

One thing I’ve learned in life is if you are in a vulnerable spot people love to kick you when you are down. The Sabres are probably at the lowest they have been in their history in regards to fan perception and guys like Robin and the media are just the types to kick you in the face when you least expect it. Anyone can throw a sucker punch. We’ll likely see a lot more of this crap before this ever gets turned around.

Score ?

We’re all flawed. Some of us more than others. Anyhoo R.I.P. John.

I take it the lads are doing o.k. ?

My only expectation for this season is finishing either dead last or second best of the worst. Sorry, not going to sugar coat my thoughts here. Every year going back a decade I’ve had the feeling that if everything goes right, if no major players suffer injury, if perhaps some of the other teams fall off a cliff we just might sneak in. Its always that way with this ownership. Always making the wrong decision. Never actually getting it right. The mr Bean of the league. A frikkin laughingstock and the Butt of jokes throughout the media and the league. We won’t know if Adams gets it right for another 3,4 or 5 years. There’s a very real possibility they’ll have to start over again if this goes sideways. I’ll be collecting a pension by then. How can you have any confidence with the track record of these owners that they’ll get it right? Anyhoo no real expectation. Call me jaded. I’ve been sold the youth/future promise before. and sorry, this isn’t the nfl. Don’t care that the Bills finally turned it around. Its not a good analogy.

I agree. Well said. Its refreshing. Jack doesn’t want to be here. How can he remain captain ? Move on.

200 + pages of hand wringing.😃

Basically leadership. What else can he give at this point. Prolly should have retired by now at least health wise.

Everyone knew this was to be the outcome. The guy wants out. He said as much in his presser following the exit meetings. He also said in simple terms this is all about me. He basically stepped down from the captaincy at that point.

Yeah agreed. Kind of tired of the drama. Hopefully we get somewhere near value in this fiasco.

Its a messy divorce. Theres blame on both sides. Just make it end regardless of the outcome. Its tiring.

Wowzers ! Does Friedman Captain Obvious much ?

Not much.

Yeah I agree about the media. I also think guys like McDavid have the ability to hold their managements feet to the fire if they don’t see improvement. Seems to come around every offseason so who knows ?

Heard some whispers on local sports radio today that McDavid wants to win sooner rather than later. Similar to the Eichel situation . And it was surmised by the talking heads that this may blow up into an Eichel drama. No links but with the way sports media digs for offseason news it’ll either blow up or fade away. We’ll see.
