Correct. I don’t buy it. I think it was an addition by subtraction situation and those closest to it wanted it to happen. Doesn’t mean I have any thoughts on where or when TP lounges in oblivion.

Forgive me for not having cut and paste skills as I don’t post a lot. You’re third paragraph says “so you’re right Terry could have been lounging in Fl completely unaware...”. I didn’t mention anything other than Botterill following up on his words. No mention of TP at all. Accuracy matters.

He did say plenty of nice things about ROR...and then he traded him. Why? You seem to believe the most likely reason is that Pegula meddled. Not seeing it. So be it. Also - seems like you put a whole lot of words in my mouth.

Disagree in regards to it not in concert with his words. He clearly stated the need for change and better leadership. He acted on his words. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/jason-botterill-press-conference-recap-sabres/c-297899486

Are you suggesting that Botterill and Housley didn’t have an issue with O’Reilly and would have preferred to keep him but Pegula gave them marching orders?

I went to Saturday’s game at Hershey. I thought Bailey and CJ Smith were the two most noticeable players in a good way.

Those that can’t teach, teach gym - Dewey Finn corrected for accuracy

Does anyone know what time Stubhub stops selling on the day of the game?

For me it’s the talking out both sides of one’s mouth and claiming it isn’t so.

I bought a ticket package for the opener that included some fun extras. Two Sabres pucks were part of it. Both the Sabres folks and I forgot about the pucks. This morning I got an unsolicited apology from the Sabres for the mistake and was told the pucks are in the mail.

Look on the bright side. It gives someone so inclined a reason to complain. Can’t believe they would give up 90 minutes of “system stuff”!

There is a video available on the Sabres website from a couple days ago where PH mentions having the day off and maybe doing something special. Some sort of team building exercise or the like.

Heard on the radio they were dressing American born players as much as possible tonight.

I was reading some of the ROR trade thread. Takeaway - sometimes it’s ok to wait and see.

CJ Smith is a nice player.

I just watched the video of all his throws and runs and saw a lot more poise than panic. He left the pocket when he was forced to or when he saw an easy run. Eye of the beholder.

Swedes comprise 8.5% of the league and 8% of the top 50 scorers. How about that!

I imagine a generational defenseman that’s left-handed won’t have a lot of trouble playing on the left if that’s the decision.

Best post I've read all day. Thank you.

I was there. I thought Smith and Pu were the most impressive.
