It’s not Tuch’s fault that he was included in that trade. He has been nothing but an excellent soldier as a Sabre, and a fine winger too. He is a good role player on a team. He contributes at many facets of the game.

1-1 after one is a good start.

No. There are others.

Wow. Tage with a golden opportunity.

If we want to get better, yes.

Canes wearing their Soviet Red Army Uni’s. Blech

Power ready to step up. Get hungry kid.

I think it will be Lyon. I hope so. With Ellis on the bench and getting for the next game.

It is not rooting for failure. Its called banter. It is @PASabreFan being humorous and a bit thought provoking. Followed by me feeding the beast because I think he is hilarious and comes up with some good stuff on occasion. This little sidebars are what makes the community fun. Not meant to harm a sensible persons sensibilities.

Its the capital of the Yukon Territory man. Population is about 30,000 people and you are allowed to drive a car in certain areas of town. I can see Terry gushing over the Penn State connection.

You are giving up on the season November 8th? Can we try for 19 more days, at least until Thanksgiving? There is no indication that we are getting a new GM at this point. We can hope because that is the obvious first step to fixing this. McKenna is from Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Can you imagine the excitement he will feel if drafted by Buffalo?

Yes, it pretty much has to be right now. They have been hit with injuries and all of that, but lots of teams go through injuries and hold it together. They are young, but some of the young guys have played a lot of NHL hockey. Like Bissonette said the other night, the Sabres have a tendency to go into a lull and play lazy hockey. They do this all too often and it just kills them. Which gets us to the tireless topic of holding each other accountable for their part. With Dahlin out who will be the vocal leader? They need a maniac kind of player in that room.

Every coach says this because it is true for most players. Unless you have a really great shot, or you and your linemates can get the goalie out of position, the goals come from the dirty areas. True.

They are still in it Woodman. Hang in there.

I will be watching. The roster has been thinned down by injuries but you never know. A road trip can bring a team together. Lyon in the net?

Yup. They are both going to play more. This could be turning point for Power to step up, I can dream.

I know people that were once a part of the team. Players, coaches, and front office. Even they complain about what’s going on. Listen to the folks on TNT, HNIC, ESPN. I make a point to listen to the opponents broadcasts on ESPN+ to hear what they say about this team. Everyone knows there is a big problem in Buffalo. No one blames the fans for it.

What would be nice is to see Owen Power step up.

“EVERYONE HERE” does not do this nonsense. Some people, sometimes will say some things that support your claim. You have an unusual desire to act as a voice of reason, a mediator between the team and the fans. Unfortunately, your excuses for this team (including Pegula and Adams) often come off as a way to satisfy your own need to argue and poke others. I’m pretty sure most people here think that Terry is a nice guy that wants to do better. But the past 15 year performance of this team cannot be defended, and palm trees, taxes, and weather have nothing to do with it. Terry makes bad decisions because he is over his head and he can’t or won’t find the right help.

Soooo. It looks like time to drill another well.

According to the AI on Google - Peterka was not mic'd up for the Sabres game in Buffalo. But I do believe he told his former teammates how great it is out west. Tuch already knows that from his time in Vegas. I just read a recent article were Peterka talks about how well they are treated in Salt Lake City. Modern arena, modern practice facility, ya da ya da. It was not long ago when players on that team were complaining about how poorly they were treated in Phoenix. And we all heard about Florida - golf carts for the wife and kiddies to drive around the complex on and stuff like that. Sun, Disney, Universal, beaches, night clubs, more golf, palm trees and no state tax. They also have high levels of violent crime, lots of drugs, bad traffic, terrible humidity, damaging hurricanes, high property tax, and astronomical homeowners insurance. Finding a good school for Junior might required a pretty good commute too. The Sabres facilities, including Harbor Center, is probably still above average compared to the others, although the Sabres hockey area is a poor one and always was. Peterka likes the mountains, the newness and cleanliness of the American West. Good for him. He got what what he wanted, so far. Back to Dahlin - it is entirely possible that this is a partial season for him and that he misses a lot of games. I do trust that Pegula and the organization will provide excellent support, sans the mountains and pretty vistas of Utah.

Maybe because McBeane proved themselves to be worthy of little to no supervision. And Beane is always willing to let Terry hang out at and play with the cool football team. On top of all that Terry and Kim mixed in well with the NFL owners and NFL elite, but that is not how the NHL works.

OR They rally, they hang in there, and stay in the race. It would be nice to get healthy and still be in the race. It would be nice to cheer for something for an entire season. They need new hero's every night. It is team game and they need to hang in there together.

Love this video and the way they fold the Van Morrison song into it. Welcome Zac Brown, uh, er Jones.

lets unpack this before I speak. You say that: 1. He knows the team is not progressing 2. He is going home for “soul searching” 3. He will come back with an ultimatum How about this: 1. He now knows the team, any team, is not the most important part of his life. 2. He wants to be home to check on her, be with her, and let her know his true feelings, all of which will help both of them. 3. He will come back when he feels he can’t do any more, and he will be grateful for the support from the Sabres Team and organization.
