I'm not going to subject myself to rewatching, but at the time that happened I am fairly certain that 3 of the Sabres were in Philly's zone when Philly cycled it back up the ice leading to the easy zone entry and game tying goal. It's an empty net, that means there are 6 opponents on the ice and the Sabres had 3 in the zone that were not near anyone. Complete mental breakdown. Even with the miss, no way the Sabres should have had 3 players in the offensive zone at that point in the game. The kid was hugging the back post like he's covering an EA Sports NHL cross-crease pass. The only problem is, no forward was there. He was out of position, again. You have him in front of Ullmark, I don't even give him that. I'm surprised you'd want more of me around. -------------- I had hope and that hope was smashed. You could see it coming. They froze up and choked it away. Losing 19 isn't going to change anyone's opinion of this team. Winning the next game won't either. This team is bad, scary bad, and it's not going to get better with more players being shipped out or tuning out further than they already have.

But if that happens I think the entire world will know that Pegula hasn't just been a bad owner but will continue to be the problem for the Sabres organization. I honestly don't think Pegula can afford to NOT remove himself in this case. It's that or he's going to need to sell the team and hope his antics with the Sabres don't tarnish his value with the Bills.

Yup. He's awesome too. Not sure how he is in Mighty Ducks but I love him in Letterkenny.. then again I love pretty much everything about Letterkenny.

Seriously. It always felt like the US citizens were being trolled. Now I just feel like Sabres fans are.

I saw it in my first post and questioned myself. Then I came across dis thread and glad to have read it. I certainly was entertained when PA tried to use T.H.E.M. and the subsequent edit. I needed a good chuckle and I have been given it. Also then should be added.... dis dat dey dem den da dose dese. 🙂 Absolutely just made reading the forum a treat today.

Lost power in the middle of a meeting dat I did not want to be in. Happy Friday to me.

The player tried to avoid Hutton but it's hard to do when you have #55 restricting your movements. Even when they ended up over Hutton he was making every attempt to keep himself up on his feet and hands so as to not by lying on Hutton. If Risto doesn't try and tackle him it's likely he jumps to the side of Hutton... but he couldn't because Risto was on him.

Isn't the most likely scenario here? Tokarski starts Houser is the backup UPL is on the taxi squad Ullmark is out Ullmark comes back and then Houser goes to taxi squad and UPL goes back to Rochester. Why do people have UPL in the lineup for tonight's game?

Well, okay then. I'll see what the score is when I get home (a little after the game starts) and go from there. I already paid for Fubo for another month, so I might as well tune in. They fired Krueger at the right time to keep me locked in.

I would never say that no ref has made up a call. However, with anything that is subjective there are moments where you can let things pass or you can call them. I think most refs intend to do the right thing. They may make a call that upon further review they realize might not have been the call that should have been made. They don't have the option of reversing the call at that point. They move forward and in their head they think, I'll even it out by calling something else that is probably a penalty that I might not have called. I don't think this is unique to officiating either. Officials are human and if they have a sense of fair play to them then they are likely going to want to balance things out as any person would. Similarly, if someone is irritating them they are likely going to be biased, either consciously or unconsciously towards that person. This happens everywhere. I can only imagine how society would operate if everyone was on a hot mic and didn't know it. Right now I am sure there are people reading this saying some wonderfully colorful things about me. 🙂

Another soul returns... I don't want them to trade Eichel unless they can get a few good players back. I don't think even one is enough.

The Rangers appear to be playing much better with the Hartford Wolves coaching staff behind the bench and the Quinn and his crew out with COVID. And Panarin is back, so I think that helps them as well. But, the Sabres still lack the talent to challenge teams. The defense remains soft and the team lacks speed.

Man.. it was over 20 years ago now, I don't recall exactly. It happened 3-4 times before I learned to just order hot wing sauce. These days I don't know what would happen as I usually order hot wing sauce if I cam getting it with something other than wings.

Seriously. Although he did score a shortie the other day. But, if he's such a positive influence on the bench then dress him up as an assistant coach. 🙂

Yes. When I moved to Rochester and asked for hot sauce on things they kept putting meat sauce on it. You have to order hot wing sauce to get that sauce. It should be called a meat sauce. Anyway.... it was just pointing out that Rochester's got some issues with names too. 🙂 Now back to the Bills. Saw the recent mentions that Sanders had been looking at the Bills because of Josh Allen and Trubisky also had that interest because of how Allen was turned around. That's some positives on the football front for Buffalo and this ownership team. If only they could do it with the hockey organization.

Dude you live in a city where hot sauce is not something that is put on wings. Although the "Coke" thing is a few levels worse. I call it by its name. I'll have root beer, ginger ale, cola, or Sprite, Coke, Dr. Pepper. Not that I drink any of it, but it seems to remove all debate.

Appreciate the riddle. Love a brain test. Is there a spoiler tag on here? I thought there was but cannot find it. I'll refrain from answering so others can ponder it. But again, thank you. 🙂

I sat here for 15 minutes trying to think of a way to respond to this and all I came up with was... WOW. Now I'm going to get Advil because it hurts from shaking my head so much while I was sitting here.

Do you have any idea what this would do to @MODO Hockey? He'd likely test the board's ability to embed Peter Griffin GIFs in a single post.

Can we just be happy Cozens is back and use another of the 72 billion threads to debate GMs? 🙂 Cozens is back yo. Cozens is back. This is good news. Let's just bask in this for a bit. We need it.

Well for those who wanted Adams to do something. He's now done two things in a week. I hope that's enough.

My son was telling me about this. It's awful. It brought back memories of watching Chris Pronger take a slapshot in the chest, taking one step and collapsing on the ice. Between that and the Malarchuk incident... man.. bad memories.

Thanks for clarifying your mindset.

I want to know what automaton Brawndo has that scours the Internet for information and posts it here for us. There's no way a human can live a life and be that responsive. 🙂 Awesome stuff as always Brawndo, "You got what SabreSpace needs."

Yeah, he was in Pittsburgh in then. Then went to Carolina and got wonders from McIlhenney and such. But here the goaltending has been awful... sometimes it doesn't translate. Perhaps Ullmark is better because of him, but Hutton and JJ not so much. Always hard to say. Sometimes a player just excels or fails despite the coach and other times I am sure there's a connection and a benefit... and sometimes I bet a coach can destroy a player.
