0-0 after two we start the 3rd with a PP.

Finally we get a PP. let’s bury this

Uuugggghhhhhh delay of game freebie. Need a PK. Again.

UPL has been excellent.

OMG. Malenstyn looks really hurt.

Another penalty. Zooker going off. Need another PK.

Sipping a nice Glenmorangie 18 year old scotch in honor of not having to get up for work. Ever again.

Rough shift. Dominated by their 4th line. On the PK again.

Byram hook. Cozens struggled on that shift. PK is huge now

UPL huge save. Sabres have been dominating the last half of the period.

That’s what we called Bill Hajt. I guess they are both tall, lean, gawky. Hajt didn’t score a lot of points. He gave up even less. His +/- was insanely high. Pre-fancy stat era, he was solid back there.

Sabres and Kings pretty even so far at 11 minute mark. UPL with 2 big saves early.

Good evening Teammates, Kings are a good team. It will take a great effort tonight playing with 12 and 72 out. MUSCLE WEIGHT

I think Lindy exercised great tolerance.

Were are your Naamite Batteries?

Me too. What's funny though is that I thought we just converged on common ground. Cheers!

I have read that here. I don't know much about him but he seemed to be running a good scouting department, our drafts seem to be pretty good.

I like JJP back on line 1. Not sure about Lafferty on line 2. Prefer Quinn in hopes he gets going. Kulich at C and playing with Quinn is risky. Maybe Lindy sees something or maybe it is all he has? Glad to see Joker back and hoping he wakes up. Bryson with Cliffy has been decent on the past. UPL is the key to getting points in this game.

The Away White is their best jersey ever, and will match the team. Maybe you can fill in for Greenway? We really missed him against the heavy game of Philly and we need him tonight too.

Yes. The same criteria applies. The Bills and Bandits are successful, and the owner must be given credit for running the program and hiring good people, and providing the resources, and maintaining a high level for several years running. He just has not got there in the NHL. Why he hasn't been successful is the debate. It is not because he is a bad person, or not smart, or whatever else you read here. A lot of people say he meddles - I join you in the "I'm not there to see it camp" on this topic, so you don't see me posting that he meddles. All of his GMs are first timers and taking on stretch assignments. Maybe this is a reason? He does not spend to cap. Maybe this is another reason?

The outcomes are assigned to Terry because he is the boss. It's not complicated, he is the owner and he is responsible for the performance and outcomes of his business. He sets the vision, the direction, and the parameters for which the business is run. He did that as recently as 2020 when he gave us his EEE speech. If is chooses to step aside and assign any of that to someone else, he is still ultimately responsible for the results that that person brings. Ownership comes with that responsibility. I do like contrarian inputs and I value them, which is why I asked how you would rate the owner - the very subject of the thread. Your response is clear. You have no opinion because you have no personal insight into the day to day decisions that are made, and you will not hold Terry accountable for the measurable outputs of the team. I see plenty of measurable outputs to evaluate, which include ~14 years of wins, losses, playoff appearances, attendance, profits, player movement/acquisitions, and my personal game day experience when I go to the arena. Not to mention the less measurable but equally important team reputation and its perceived culture. Provide a contrarian view if that is your intent. But it seems that your intent is to tell us that we don't know the inside details, so we don't know anything, so we can't blame Terry. I gave you two very big positives as well. I appreciate that he kept the team in Buffalo, and I really like the Harbor Center. Someday the law of averages with prevail and they will win again. When that happens he will get bouquets and accolades, deserved or not, and that also goes with being the owner.

I guess they can move Adams to another role. They just promoted Jerry Forton to Assistant GM. Jason Karmanos is already Associate GM and he runs Rochester, so maybe they promote him to GM? He has more hockey operations experience than Adams had when he got the GM job. It fits in with Terry hiring someone that he knows and trusts.

I think we also saw a big void left by Greenway against Philly. We will be missing our best offensive forward and our best defensive forward tonight. I think its time to bring Joker back for a spin too. ---- Monarch Whipping

My thoughts are that Adams job is completely safe right now, and on Thanksgiving, no matter what happens on this west coast trip. I think the owner respects him and he will finish the year. If there is a change it will be after the season.
