ska-T Palmtown

i mean, now we KNOW the refs are against us?

Never(more)

But what about the preseason video where Lindy calls the guy that was super ill and Lindy cries and tells the guy he wants to get this team to the playoffs?? Or was Lindy crying because he already knew it was not gonna happen and he hated lying to a dying guy?

There were too many old looking players in the original. Obviously AI has not read Sabrespace enough, lol.

I was actually lamenting how, as bad as Skinner is this year, he would not be even close to the bottom of the Sabres' barrel. Although, his very pedestrian output is on a much more talented roster.

right? please? The problem with being an optimist by nature (and being AT The Comeback Game for the Bills) is that if the Sabres win, there will be a tiny part my brain, annoying AF, that will whisper "psst, this is it. The run begins now."

Which would put him 9th on the Sabres in points; 2 ahead of Benson and 1 behind DCoz. The minus 8 gets him third worst - ahead of Peterka and Quinn. Don't get me wrong, I am not sad he is not here and I don't think he is the reason the Sabres suck again, but - yeah, there is no but.

^^the comment 🤣🤣 Edit: Lamar did it against <checks notes> the Giants? Josh did it in the playoffs 🤷‍♂️

I'd say there are some pretty big boobs (in the colloquial "jester" sense) around here, but I'd have to include myself so I won't go there 🙂

Buuuuuuuuuuut - If I am reading that right, we WON vs the fancy stats. We scored 0.92 goals ABOVE expected while Toronto was 0.09 BELOW. Woo!

claws are out tonight on Sabrespace ... this is better than those Real Housewives reunion shows that ... uh ... my wife watches! 🍿

At least maybe Quinn is not the problem? 🤷‍♂️

but i keep getting told if we out-hit we will be better: Imagine having to be Marty and sit there and pretend you are not watching hot garbage...that man deserves an Emmy.

So the offense guy can hold the D-man's stick? BS.

Sorry man, I am with the others. I feel broken. I will continue to "follow" the team - I can't help it ... but if other opportunities present themselves to do things that are not as likely to end in disappointment, I will take them.

Wild claim him from ... the Wild? Like, was he wandering around in the woods and they found him? lol

I mean, we have established that no one wants Risto 2.0, so I am fine with Power "working up to it" ... but like - has anyone seen any steps?

I am genuinely shocked they can't get one single ex-player to come in for a weekend and show him how it's done. JFC - pay Pronger $1M for one month to come in and beat the piss outta Power until he snaps and eats Pronger's spleen on the ice ... something. ANYTHING.

That is an extremely legit concern at this point based on the plays he makes on the ice. He could be book smart but still not able to process the pro game quickly enough when on the ice. He appears to have the athleticism to do things, he just chooses to do them in the wrong order or at the wrong time. Infuriating, honestly. As a person with little-to-no appreciable physical gifts, I get so mad when I see people with physical talent waste it! 🤣 All the non-game stuff means nothing if you can't put it all together when it counts. The Bills drafted some QB years ago who aced some wonderlic test or whatever ... terrible in the game.

@Sidc3000 - I thought the original report speculated it was to help cover the $500M overage on the Bills' new palace?

The optimist in me hopes he would never do that. That voice says things like "he's a kid in real slump and he can't find his way out" and other crap. The realist thinks he is having A LOT of trouble playing responsible hockey and his brain is not processing the game fast enough leading to the dreaded "thinking" on the ice. I am not convinced he sees the game well enough to be counted on as a 2C. The angry little troll in me wants to smack him upside the head and yell "if you are not going to contribute on the score sheet, at least skate super friggin' hard and try to keep the other team off it, too!!" He's gotta know that he has a fairly heavy contract and given Adams' reluctance to "lose" another trade, that makes a Cozens trade fairly unlikely. And his agent better be telling him that the worse he plays, the LESS Buffalo will get for him, reducing his odds of getting traded even further. Trying hard is a win-win; Sabres probably do better meaning it might be fun to play here again, his trade value goes up meaning KA might trade him for a decent offer if the rest of the team continues to suck.

I would not be shocked at all if his agent refused to even TALK about wasting a single UFA year in the current hockey hellhole known as Buffalo. He has probably been telling Joker since he arrived "I'll get you out. There will be a file in the cake!" With little-to-no prospect of resigning him, unless they are in a playoff spot come trade deadline, I'd wager he is out of here.

I am in love with the fact that TB #90 hurt himself ... skating? lol - hope for me, yet!

Occasionally? Risto's most famous move was chasing a hit so badly that he took himself of the play. We don't need that. But Power needs to learn how to use his size. This is year 3, the "I couldn't hit in peewee cuz i was too big and they called me for penalties" crap needs to end.

Can the mods update the motif in here with a few palm trees to help stem the attrition? (I would not mind if they did something about my taxes too, honestly)
