Not to defend Pegula in general… and at some point I think the fans need to hear from him… ‘But if my wife suffered what Kim did and I was faced with the prospect of the person I expected to be there long after I’m gone (my wife is quite a bit younger too, although not as much of a gap as the Pegula’s) basically no longer there with little prospect to ever come back (based on what little we know about her brain injuries), I can tell you I’d have a hard time leaving the house I’d be so distraught. As a billionaire sports team owner he probably has a higher standard to live up to compared to some internet schmuck like me, but I do believe this factor is a partial explanation for his silence on some things and lack of attendance at games.

On the right team he becomes a point per game annoying gnat of a player who everyone hates except that team’s fans who love him. On the Sabres, he’ll be struggling, disgruntled 45 point guy.

Oh come on, that’s ridiculous. It’ll take 2 years.

Colorado giving Makar 0:42 less per game Nashville giving Josi 0:59 less per game Dallas giving Heiskanen 1:06 less per game The only two guys with slightly more TOI per game are Doughty and Carlson, two grizzled, HOF caliber vets. And Dahlin's 'counting stats' are right there (and slightly better) than both of them.

Clifton scoring a goal:

Fun Dyngus Day activations! Wait, what the hell is an 'activation'?

I don't get any sense he feels it's beneath him to play in Rochester. He's been on the Sabres again for a week or two and is on the NHL team now, not with Rochester. Should he constantly refer to "when I go back to Rochester" or just say "it was great when I was there"?

The game is on NHL network as well. The only game on the NHL slate tonight! They sure picked a beauty.

I’m at the Avs-Rangers game. Casey just scored a nice goal for the Avs to take a 1-0 lead late in the second. Super intense game between two great teams. Good for him!

Tell me about it. I live in Denver and watch the Avs and catch the Oilers whenever I can, or Vegas to root against them. Then I watch the Sabres and it's just painful.

Career night for Bryson

Only got outshot 19-11!

What an embarrassment.

UPL in goal tonight I assume?

Krebs is Tyson Jost 2.0. I just wish they'd realize it sooner rather than later and include him in a package deal as opposed to waiving him outright at some point down the line.

17 games later

That would be some spicy information. btw I’m not a mod…sometimes I’m barely a poster

Can we do most disliked SS poster next?

Oh yeah. I was seeing a data point from 2016.

Buffalo's population also doesn't include any of Southern Ontario or Rochester, so a little deceiving relative to hockey fans. Calgary MSA is about 1.4M. And it's 75 miles from the nearest notable city...Red Deer.

The lack of player movement is pronounced. They actually make power plays boring to watch.

Girgs felt the breakaway wasn’t open enough to shoot

Beautiful tip in by Power

We need Gandalf the White, who I believe in this case is Scotty Bowman, to come to Buffalo to break the Saruman's spell (Darcy Regier, in a distant tower) so that a freed Pegula of Rohan can see things clearly again and lead the team to Hockey Helmet's Deep.
