Roy has done it before According to ChatGPT The earliest recorded instance of a coach pulling the goalie for an extra attacker in a game was 11:02 remaining in the third period, by Patrick Roy, then-coach of the Colorado Avalanche, during a game on March 16, 2015, against the Anaheim Ducks. This aggressive strategy was used as part of Roy’s philosophy to create offensive pressure, and it remains one of the boldest empty-net pulls in NHL history. While pulling a goalie with more than a few minutes left in the game is still rare, this example shows how some coaches push traditional boundaries for a chance to win.

I thought Lindy pulled the goalie early but 11 minutes

The Sabres had an 18 game winless streak in the 20-21 season. Just sayin… 🤷‍♂️

Good luck. Maybe if they win 10 in a row 🤷‍♂️

Yep

Nope. I was typing that when Quinn scored. I just know it’s not going to last.

Crazy but none of these goals have made me excited. I guess I’m just way too jaded.

Whatever happens in the locker room, stays in the locker room 😂

Zucker is hellbent on not making the losing streak to 14 which was his record with the Wild

I’m wondering if he took time off for the holidays… or he said “***** it, I can’t cover for this team anymore.” Could go either way. 🤷‍♂️😂

Hold my beer -All the Sabres players

I’m on ESPN plus also. The crowd and ice noise seems to drown out the commentary. Not that it’s exciting to say the least boo’s raining down on the Islanders. 😮

Is it me or does the audio need to be adjusted? Sounds like I’m at a rec league game. I can hear everything going in at the arena and on the ice

Dont hold your breath. What first timer will Pegula install then? It’s just a vicious cycle

There hasn’t been any accountability for years. Although it looks like Quinn is the black sheep since he really has been the only player that has been a healthy scratch Exactly

All a possibility 🤷‍♂️.

That’s the problem with a lot of fans. They believed the propaganda. I’m done believing anything that anyone from the Sabres say. My philosophy is, I’ll start believing when they prove it. I started that philosophy after they hired Adams. Absolutely! I don’t get how he can be so involved with the Sabres after letting the Bills be the Bills.

OMG I know he’s a multibillionaire and he doesn’t “need the money”. Ever hear of resource allocation or portfolio management. Several years ago he knew he would need to build a multibillion dollar stadium for the Bills which was the most successful business for him. In my opinion, that’s why he was cutting cost of the Sabres and got rid of PSE along with his music management endeavors. That’s the only explanation I can think of as to why he would cut costs so severely with the Sabres.

That’s a good breakdown especially with the team being one of the youngest for a decade. Amazed on how many people, still to this day, defend the Sabres being young. I now see why Adams is very reluctant to trade his young players. He is betting that they will all develop into the players they are predicted to be. He sees many of the other young players they have traded have hit their stride not long after the trades. He is willing to wait for years till they all finally develop. Every year he hopes, this is the year they all start putting it together 🤞. He knows there is no help coming. He knows they have to develop into a legit NHL contender organically. Most other players in the league have the Sabres in their NTC. I also feel that the NTC is what is now holding the team down and there will be a push by owners to restrict it. You can have all the picks and young talent in the world, if you can’t use that as trade capital because players refuse the move, what’s the point? I’m trying to not make excuses for the inept leadership but I do see what their ineptitude has created. Except Pegula doesn’t have a teenager making player decisions based madden. 🤷‍♂️😂

Congrats

Poor choice of words. He cut costs with the Sabres to maximize his income to help fund the new stadium

Ah ok

Just turned the game on, who the hell is with Duffer?

Because he made the original save. The puck was just lying under him. Now I don’t understand why they didn’t blow the puck dead

I think it’s funny that you both think evaluations and net worth means that Terry just money laying around. a large amount of his money is tied up in both franchises along with other investments.
