Yup. PR and marketing nailing it.
Hockey Ops, not so much.

Jee, It's almost like that is how a hockey team is put together.
I thought all we needed was to amass elite talent. That's working well for the Leaves.
The Leafs did it wrong. They didn’t tank.
Or something.
I don’t have a point. I’m just being sarcastic to be sarcastic .

Yeah, and when Donny was first hired it was "A Granato interview is straightforward and easy to comprehend. Plain talk and clarity."
Same with Ralph. Same with Housley. “Refreshing”, “Honest”, “Upbeat”. Even “Inspirational “.
Even old, familiar Lindy gets the shiny new toy syndrome. We are predictable.

I still suspect the the trade was made to give the team an additional season to use the asset in a move to bring in a different type of player into the lineup.
I think they ran out of time to use Mitts for that purpose and have bought time.

I’ve always been a first thing in the AM quitter.
I don’t just walk into the office. I schedule a meeting with an not inflammatory meeting name.
Grats, bro. Go get after them.

I’d rather be a Sabre fan than a Leaf fan right now.
With the Sabres, I know what we’ve got. It’s pretty mid.
With the Leafs, you go through this annual torture of thinking you have a team that can compete for the Cup, but … no, you don’t.
8 hours ago, Thorny said:Personally, I’d take a stretch of multiple enjoyable regular seasons leading to playoff berths ultimately ending in disappointment than I would multiple terrible regular seasons to the tune of the worst run of all time in professional sports followed by coming in even lower by expectations than the Leafs because we can’t finish higher than 22nd any single season
but that’s just me
He’s so damn good
LoFL
Yeah, it’s real tortuous to have a long term near the top of the league team, elite stars, and annual playoff births. WTAF.
A decade ago this board started predicting the Bruins demise too. Let’s not be proud of what the Sabres are building until they’ve actually done something to make us proud, ffs.
As PA likes to point out, Sabres PR and marketing doing a bang up job with this low expectation fanbase.
ETA- Let’s not forget that the current Leafs team is essentially what the Sabres were until 15yrs ago, and we were more than happy to love a team that had stars, had success and expectations, but couldn’t quite put together playoff success (other than a run behind a world class goalie and a mediocre set of skaters). We used to be what Toronto is now, and that’s exactly what we are all hoping we might be able scratch and claw back into.

And I feel like Benson is primarily a playmaker
Edit - I see this has been covered
But he is Ben Affleck I stand by that part
I have a hard time comparing Benson to Sabres past. He’s not the prototypical top 6 skillset, but he’s got a unique level of compete that overcomes it to some extent.
We are into “concept of” level of discussion regarding Benson. My initial thought was, if Drury was a winger instead of a center, their games might be similar. But it’s Chris ***** Drury. I don’t want to make that comparison. And I shouldn’t make that comparison.It’s way too soon.

I’d rather package our first with one or more of our young players and prospects to get someone better than anyone on that list.
Whoever gets the best player in the present almost always wins the trade. I don’t give any about how much it could potentially hurt our team in five years from now. We are losers now, it’s not like we can be downgraded to super losers. We’d have hit that status years ago.
We are already super losers. Record setters, FFS. That’s why I don’t understand the angst over “what if prospect X becomes awesome somewhere else”. I don’t give a damned about prospect X being good for someone else a few years down the line. I care about this team right now playing its way back to respectability.

Got to wash my hair last night.
Never really understood why people got piercings. I think I get it now. These staples look freakin’ cool.
Might just be my new look.
Still needs neck bolts

Very good year. I assume next year whenever John-Jason goes out on the ice, opponents, being very aware, will shout “there goes John-Jason Peterka for a shift!”

All the shots of Tuch in this Sabres produced video, how can it not be Tuch?
I’m definitely getting that sense.

Certainly butter is superior to olive oil in all bread-related matters (although IMHO the garlic bread comes out quite delicious with olive oil). I'm just trying to extend the average SabreSpacer's lifespan here.
Most of us don’t have the 401k savings to sub olive oil for butter.
I’m working on the 3 B’s retirement program, bacon, butter, and bourbon. I have no intention of outliving my savings.

Things have to be done in a certain way in order to give your team a chance to consistently win hockey games at the NHL level. Ruff knows those things.
I have concerns about Lindy coaching this team at this time, but having to learn what it takes to be an NHL coach is definitely not one of them.

Southern Tier Smoked Bourbon.
Southern Tier’s bourbons are quite good for a tiny distillery. Have you had any of the 7yr bourbon they released last year? It’s pretty fantastic.

With the timing of the Lindy hire and it seeming like they knew he was going to be the guy, it makes me curious about Marty Wilford and Matt Ellis still being on staff. Is there a chance these guys actually stick around? Did Lindy just want a chance to meet / interview them?
The Lindy thing has been in the works for weeks, if not months. I think Lindy decided to keep Ellis on before he signed on.
Or agreed to it as a condition on hiring.

Actually, you need to other choice. Something like "I've been hurt too many times by this team to harbor any hope"
I’d change my vote.
