    Lindy pulled him to send a message - to the team in front of Lyon, not Lyon. 
     

    Lindy also likes to play ‘hot hand’… ? I am done w UPL. 6 years and no consistency. 
     

    That said, IDK why no Lyon as he is IMO best option w Ellis as backup

     

    They know what Lyon is.   He is a 1B/2, and they know they need to keep him fresh to get the most of out of him.  

    They are still undecided between UPL and Ellis, or it might come down to which one makes a better trade?

    I recall running into Donald Audette once at Prohibition around the corner from the arena. A bunch of Sabres were there after the game.

    The place I worked at was in Buff, on Delaware and Great Arrow, and was called the Boardwalk Cafe.  It was a Turgeon Brother's restaurant with a bar/disco club right next to it and under the same management.   They had a real train caboose as part of dining area.  

    We used to see Rico, Luce, DesJardins, Schoeny, Korab, Carriere, and even Gil and Rene (on occasion) among others. They brought their wives and GF's on Sunday evening.   We gave them an entire section for privacy, on Sunday night we would have closed the restaurant by midnight if not for them. 

    Good natured group that had fun, and they "wanted to be there".   

    I do recall that Jerry Korab was a guy that stood out in a crowd.  He and his wife both really dressed up sharply.

    I saw the tweet and I was upset only because I don't like UPL as a player and hope he leaves the team soon so we can win more games. 🙂

    If it were anyone else I'd think it's cool they're going out in Buffalo having a fun time.

    I don't think UPL is consistent enough as a goalie, but I have nothing against the guy.   I hear he doesn't like being called UPL?  they call him Opie (ouh-pee)?

    I've said this in a prior post, so excuse me for the repetition. As you indicate, what's outrageous to me is that we have a person who has been an owner for more than 15 years of a franchise that has overall been a failure. Although he's not a high-profile owner who is more known for not speaking than speaking, we simply don't know where he is coming from. (As you noted.)  Is he committed or not? I don't know. Is he determined to turn things around by reconstituting the staffing? I don't know. Based on his invisibility, it would appear to many that he is apathetic to this particular enterprise. Is that the case? I don't know. There's an enraging absurdity to this Wizard of Oz behind the curtain scene owner act that makes no sense to me. Why get involved in the highly competitive and public business of owning a sports franchise if you act as if you are not engaged or have a passion for an endeavor that you chose to get involved in. What bothers me the most about Pegula isn't that he isn't much of a public figure as it is his seemingly inactions/involvement, especially during the KA floundering era. It makes no sense to me.  

    Ralph Wilson was not a public figure and neither was Seymour Knox.  But we at least heard from them from time to time.  Terry's silence shows apathy.   I don't care what he does with his football team, he owns two teams and he is responsible for both of them, not just the one that is winning.  

    I showed you the letter that Jacobs wrote to the Bruins fans after missing he playoffs last season.   The Bruins are in the thick of the playoff race once again and that team is still not very good.   But they expect to win games from the top of the organization on down.

    Bowman didn't care unless it was the night before a game and they were out past curfew.  That's a big part of why McKegney became a Nordique.

    McKegney, Gare and Terry Martin were bachelors and were in Mulligans on Hertel a lot.  Their partying was different than what the married guys did and I will leave it at that.  

    Bowman did not like their brand of partying.

    OK, sorry, misunderstood why you'd posted that.  And with the caption to the photos/videos being "this is the accountablility the Buffalo Sabres organization holds their players up too [sic]" thought you were echoing that tweet's view that somehow players must pay a penance for having the audacity to lose a hockey game. 

    100% want Lyon between the pipes tonight.  Expect Ellis will be his backup, pretty sure he hasn't even dressed for the last 3.

    Yes, I see that can be confusing.

    I want to see Lyon. I prefer Lyon to the other goalies.

    I do not care if UPL goes to a bar on Thanksgiving Eve when he has Thursday off.

    Back in the day, the Bills and Sabres were at No Names 946 Elmwood every Sunday night, win or lose. 

    In the mid and late 70's many of the Sabres went out on Sunday evening after home games, which ended at about 9:30. 

    I was a waiter/bartender at popular Buffalo restaurant and bar and we had a kept a special section open to accommodate them and their wives (or GFs) on Sunday evening.  We would see them by about 11:00 for a late snack and drinks, and we stayed open until they were done.  

    They won a lot of games back then and they were usually in really good moods and having fun.   I don't remember Punch or Scotty caring at all about it.

    After the loss to Utah made comments about accountability and earning everything. He’s since played less than a period in net. Maybe coincidence, maybe a message. 

    There is nothing here.  Everything he said makes sense.  No finger pointing.

    The crew on NHL Network said he was hurt.
