Thank you Terry for all you've done for professional sports in WNY, but it's time for you to sell the Sabres. Or at least a controlling interest.
Then and only then will the changes be made that will make the Sabres a consistently relevant team rather than the bottom feeders they have been for over a decade.

Got a phone call last night from my former co-worker and good friend who was diagnosed with brain cancer ( Glio Blastoma Multiforme- median survival after diagnosis is 14-16 months with around 1% survival at 10 years - yep, it's bad) and she was given 18 months to live. That diagnosis was 5.5 years ago after she collapsed on the street having convulsions. Yesterday she was released by her oncologist after she was told that he was too busy taking care of sick people and didn't need to follow someone who had 2 years of stable MRIs to her credit. That phone call was the very definition of AWESOME!!!
Cancer sucks!, but it can be beaten. Even the worst ones. God willing with all the research being done there will be some secrets unlocked and we can maybe get the upper hand. Jim Valvano said it best... " Never, ever give up".

Take five minutes to get a competent front office and President of Hockey Operations, then Terry can go back to counting his shekels, taking power naps, and disappearing into the background like he's so fond of doing. Problem solved.
Isn't that what everyone wants? The ideal owner picks good people and allows them to do their jobs and they do them well. The ideal owner should disappear into the background. You make it sound like that's a bad thing when it would be exactly what we should be seeing. Would you prefer a Jerry Jones type of owner?

I'm sure that there is not only one word that would actually suffice is describing the Sabres. That means that the one word to describe that search could possibly be "ILLUSIVE".
On this day all I can assure you of is..... GO BILLS!!!

He's a fraud in the sense of what he was brought here for.
And what was that exactly? Also given the way things have happened this year, maybe it's not so much EJ but the coaching staff that is more at fault?
He's shown some leadership and fire along with what is likely to be an older players inability to be what he once was.

What we have here, is a fail-ure to co-muni-cate. In my best Struther Martin drawl.

Achieved our seasonal average snowfall in Anchorage on Christmas Day. Already have had a few roof collapses. And we only have another 3-4 months of winter to go! Lots of skiing available but the backcountry is shut down due to high avalanche danger.

Collinsworth: 28 seconds is forever if you are a Bills fan. I hope he chokes on that SH!T.

Given what we all perceived as a team potentially approaching 100+ points this year, this is absolutely an unacceptable product.
I don't think it's the players as much as it is the coaching staff and front office. No more "we will learn from tonight's game" speeches.
Put Gallant behind the bench and allow him to reset the bar. By the end of January you will know if it really is the players or not.
-
I think most of us could agree that McD is the best coach since Marv. To call him great (at this point) is a stretch. That sums it up.

I will of course pull for Dallas, but keep in mind that Dallas has been bad on the road. Miami is going to see how we ran on Dallas. Miami has two real good running backs plus the explosive WRs. I’m a Dallas skeptic.
Dallas has to prove to themselves and everyone else that they can win against good teams on the road. Miami just has to prove they can win against good teams. I see Dallas as the better team and a loss at Miami could confirm the downward spiral into the playoffs and therefore more to play for.

I've been thinking about this. KO is pretty much out of gas and adds very little value most nights. If he weren't the captain, he'd almost certainly be in the healthy-scratch rotation. But I think it's still a pretty firm rule that you don't healthy-scratch your captain.
Shouldn't the captain be the first person stepping forward to do what is best for the team? It should come from Kyle or does it come down to DG making it happen?

Swap salaries for a different skill set.

The seasons over.
Decisions need to be made, we'll see if Pegula has the balls to make them.
Nope, not even close.
All they have to do is get to the playoffs. All teams this year seem to have significant flaws.
Get to the playoffs. Get hot and throw in some luck. Get some good matchups. Don't get done in by the zebras. Parade!!!
There are a dozen different teams this year that could win if they can only get to the playoffs, and the Bills are certainly in that group.

Big? It's zoned as multi-family. Does that answer the question?

Why are we talking about waiving and trading UPL right now? We still don't know what we have.
When you have 3 goalies you don't have a goalie. Pre-season was not enough to sort it all out. In our case we have a rookie in the mix. A real NHL rookie goalie, how many of them step in and do great with no other professional experience?
I suspect we will rotate the 3, with Levi getting the majority of the work unless someone else is playing better. Comrie should play again tonight. I would go back to Levi in Ottawa because the game is very important, but if he is hurt then you go with UPL or Comrie.
It will take some time to sort this out. UPL will get his chances and when he does he was to earn his next start, they all do.
So we get to do this 3 goalie thing and work tirelessly to improve our team defense (an absolute must), and still score enough to be in playoff contention. This is going to be a great hockey season.
I voted for the waiver wire, but you have made an excellent argument(s) to make me reconsider my vote.

Is it just me or did it seem as though the Cheats*** defense knew the plays better than the Bills offense? Either that or LOTS of lucky guesses at what defense to play when.

You think NHL GM’s and their staff are booing Gary Bettman?
Yeah, it's a stretch. If we could hook them up to a lie detector, I'd bet almost all of them wish they could boo him and every one of them thinks they could do a better job of running the league.
-
Seems to be nothing more than an attempt to reduce the number of people in the room that are booing Bettman every time he steps up to the podium.

Very good chance this is KO's last season. Would be awesome to see him accept the cup from Bettman and then literally hand it off to the next Sabres captain.

That was a quick recovery from the jet lag fueled hangover of only 1 week ago. Luckily your liver might be ready for another go-round next month, especially with the advantage of flying west to get home.
