I feel optimistic. Sabres win it.... Nahhhh, just kidding 🤣

So, we did a thing? That's nice.

This Chuefs team will go down as one of the greatest teams in NFL history. Have to admit, I'm very impressed with that organization. Congrats Chiefs and Chiefs fans

No, that is not my point, merely opining on the idea that it's plausible Terry is doing so intentionally. No my real point is what I stated at the outset of my original comment, which was I am of the opinion that if Terry sold the Sabres, they would be moved, and I stand by opinion. WNY is running out of billionaires to fall back on is my view of the situation, then gave my reason for my opinion. Agree, disagree, it's all a moot point as of now as I don't see Terry selling. But, anything can happen.

While you make valid points, I disagree. There are reasons why the Sabres organization was highly considered movable during the NHL stewardship years. If not for Galisano, I do not believe the organization would not have stayed in Buffalo. With the continued growth of population centers within the sphere of the regularly exposed to hockey areas, those populations quest for entertainment will, and has only grown, hockey amongst those entertainment values. You make it out as though the rest of the northern half of the Western Hemisphere has suffered the same fate as the post industrial WNY era, that's just not the case.

If the team is sold, the team is gone imho. The NHL is a business, there are much larger markets with far greater profit margins than the Western New York market, and the NHL is all about revenue, they don't give a hoot about loyalty to those that love the sport, they care about revenue generation. This is simple supply and demand economics. Supply a team in a market with greater demand then the WNY market. Pegula has 100% driven demand here in WNY of an NHL product right in to the ground, this is not even debatable. Did he do it intentionally? I don't think so. I believe he's honestly tried to create a winning product here. I picture Pegula as Wiley Coyote, always trying to catch the Roadrunner but causing constant pain to himself as opposed to achieving the final goal.

HEY, someone's got to take one for the team, so unless your stepping up with a wig on, let's keep our options open 🤣

How much would each western new yorker have to chip in to buy the team? We're running out of locally connected Billionaires 🤣 Maybe we can get one of the local gals to court Elon Musk 🤣

Once again, the 5v5 numbers mean nothing. Wins/loses, it's all that matters

And there's the dagger. Some of you were trying to use goal differential, to what exactly? The only thing that accounts is wins/loses. The record, the points, speak for themselves. Denial is the first stage, it's been 13 seasons now, it's safe to get past denial and start the road to acceptance.

🤣 No penalty

You shouldn't have to rely on special teams to win more games than they have. Yes it is a factor, but the win/lose record is an indicator of a much larger issue than merely special teams.

I disagree with this. They are the mirror of who is leading them, a development coach. The team isn't playing to win, they're playing to develop. This is just fact.

Fire? Where, on the grill during vacation?

It is why I posted with the full disclaimer, "as of now". I also stated this could change, but until it does, if it does, my opinion stands for myself.

Let us break this down 1 question at a time. Can KA spend to the cap? With the way he throws money at inconsistently producing players, ys, he appears to have no problem spending to the cap. As of now, foolish spending, but he's like a drunken sailor in any red district, no problem spending. What's his time line for contending? At this rate PA, for fans our age.... And finally, Casey not fitting the time line? I believe this to be the wrong question. We should be asking if Casey rumors are due to him producing to much, thereby angering the Adams and Granato, incurring their rath?

As of now the Thompson, Cozens, Power contracts look like disasters for the future. That can always change given their ages of course. But as it stands right now, in this moment, the Buffalo Sabres are just straight up a farm team for the rest of the league. I mean, even their coach is a "development specialist", they've put 0 effort in to special teams coach's (pk and pp) and honestly they appear to lack any motivation what so ever to seriously bring a winning product to the Buffalo market. Just my view of the situation given the past 13 seasons is all.

Well, something has to give here. They can't keep rolling with this current roster, it's not working. So Mr. Adams, get busy addressing the situation, the time has come. S h I t, or get off the pot

The 87-88 team. I disliked it more than these current teams. The season after Perreault retired they were a lost group wandering in the wilderness. Traded Barraso, Turgeon's rookie campaign was meh. Ya, did not like that team, mainly because my childhood hero, Perreault, was gone. That day he hung them up still hurts to this day for me.

Terry spent the stats depth money from the Sabres on Peppa Pig for Josh Allen commercials.

Looking good team. Keep up the effort, we'll be top 3 draft pick in no time 👌 🤣

I agree. Even in the mid 80's when I was a teenager, a few girls joined us at Sabreland for games, never an issue. They were never as good as me, and I'd they were.......I'll never admit to it, because......ego 😜 But ya man, was never an issue. If people are mocking due to gender, that's bull *****. Play the game, it's all for fun in rec leagues.

I do miss Sabres hockey. Yes. But even though I still follow them, I don't the way I used to. Other teams interest me more, just being honest.

Well, if any season is a good one to fix a body ailment, this one is one of the 13 to get it done I guess. Heal up Muel, come back ready to roll next season.
