With the ascension of Appert to the NHL staff I'm really starting to lose faith in this regime. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" is true on so many levels with this team. But of course, we will get fooled again.
I may just jump ship and throw support behind my local market Stars going forward. I never thought I'd say that. My Sabres fandom is on life support. I'm thinking one more season before I cut bait.

Thanks for letting me know but I don't like AHL hockey enough to pay for it 🙂
But certainly enough to offer opinions like “Appert is garbage”. Smh

The Dolphins are turning into the NFL version of this team.
Imagine taking no joy in a Dolphins loss and being considered a terrorist sympathizer if you do. Truly a bizarre position to take as one person did earlier in this thread.

Albany has an 11-7 lead with 12 minutes to go. If they win the NLL finals start in Albany. Close enough for me to drive if the Bandits are there.
Albany has Dyson Williams coming next season. First overall pick, son of hall of famer Shawn Williams, 44 goals for Duke this season.

Might end up an even longer weekend for Toronto fans if the Bandits do the Rock later today. Hope being excited about the idea doesn’t make me a terrorist sympathizer. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽

That's you if you cheered the Leafs' demise.

Thanks again Terry.
As you take joy in Pegula pratfalls, others do the same when certain rivals fail. Someday you should post your rules for acceptable sports “fanning”.

Because of what the prospects learn and more importantly don't learn coming out of Rochester. That's all that matters to me, that's what the AHL is for.
Ok. I will mark you down in the “Appert is garbage” column. Solid take.

Highlights. Not full games.
I think our development program and what we do in Rochester is highly flawed. Why is it a bunch of teenagers vs. AHL vets? It shouldn't be. It should be a balanced mix, as should the NHL roster. You want to start creating a "winning culture" you start with your farm team and teaching ground.
When they come up they should already have in them a firm work ethic and a winning attitude.
He took his team to game 6 of the conference finals last year and within a whisker of first place this year. How do you come to the conclusion that Appert is garbage by only watching highlights? Good heavens. Embarrassing.

So the best prospect pool in hockey isn't getting it done? Huh.
At least there's Levi.
This had to feel good as you hit “submit reply”. Let’s go Bruins!

The online fancy stats people saddle Brian Thomas Jr. with several "red flags" -- something about how alarmingly low his "yards per route run" were. Apparently, this metric, YPRR, is a strong predictor of success in the NFL. And, physical beast though he is, Thomas's isn't good.
I think I heard Joe DiBiase on WGR talking about Thomas -- something about "does he evolve into a DK Metcalf comparable" -- who apparently also had similar concerns with his fancy stats while also having physical freak measurables -- "or does he flop like several other physical freak prospects whose advanced stats were not good coming out of college?"

He sounds pretty good. #17 by this guy’s ranking.
Thomas is a big, explosive wideout with incredible production, including an FBS-best 17 touchdown catches this past season. He lines up outside and in the slot. He easily defeats press coverage with his quickness. He is very sudden in his release and can find another gear once the ball is up in the air. He is very loose and fluid as a route runner. He has snap at the top of the route and doesn't waste steps. He has a very large catch radius because of his frame, leaping ability and ball skills. After the catch, he has some wiggle to make defenders miss and also boasts home run speed. Overall, Thomas is a big-play machine and has the upside to develop into a No. 1 receiver for his drafting team.

In the last 7.5 moths Pegula told Rochester that
- Dissolving PSE would be a change in name only and wouldn't effect the operation of BCA. (August 28,2023)
- Backing out of the lease didn't have anything to do with his commitment to Rochester. Both teams would be staying. (April 2, 2023)
- He is selling the Knighthawks but only because he doesn't want 2 NLL teams so close to each other (April 18, 2024)
Based on that it seems like the Buffalo Sabres are very likely open to hearing offers.Can you provide any backup for the Knighthawks claim?

Fingers crossed. The timing is also interesting.
Did I miss the earlier reporting that there was a serious party interested in buying?
Good lord.

Honestly I think the NLL actually told him that he’d need to sell them at some point. My guess is he’s trying to secure their home in Rochester and thus it’s taking time
I have family in the Las Vegas team’s front office. I asked him about Rochester and he said there is no talk within the league regarding them moving. Said he has heard the outside speculation.
Joe Tsai (Brooklyn Nets) owns the NLL teams in Las Vegas and San Diego and is under no pressure to sell one of them. I suspect Pegula is not either.

What was your impression of the Albany fans? Mostly interested in the number of them. I would like to see the league in general do well.
