That was the right call. Bury them.

He was invisible and he should not see the ice anymore.

Let’s take the 2nd point.

Donkey killed a fast breakout.

Donkey got destroyed out there.

I think otherwise. Answering is always needed, winning the fight does not count on the score board. They don’t have a great heavyweight fighter, if they get one he has to be good enough to play on the 4th line full time to be truly effective.

Ok. Tied on the road in Bahston. We just held them to 4 shots on goal. Now let’s bury them. Dominate puck possession time and we will win.

Benson likes to play hockey.

Power was due. Some good puck movement and Power buried it. Laser.

The breakaway. Donkey gave up on it but UPL committed as if he had no help

Boston does not tank. Watch how quickly they rebuild.

This team plays a lousy last two minutes in just about every period. They just try to hold on and they give up scoring chances. It’s very frustrating.

Sabres need to wake up. How about getting a late goal and starting a new trend.

UPL had help and overcommits anyway.

Murray sighting.

Sabres policing their game. Good to see.

What? Get Mitts for roughing. 😂

Time to break out the summer Fedora.

Krebs scores on the PP!

Sabres 5 Broons 2 and you will hear boo birds afterwards.

I am not using nostalgia in this response. What can Lindy bring to the FO in an Exec position? Lindy as a GM lacks the contracts side of the business, contracts and cap management are a big part of it. He also lacks scouting experience and that could impact his ability to draft. Both of these things can be overcome by the use of AGMs and other FO staff members (Scouting Directors, Analytics staff, Pro Personnel Directors) that specialize and advise. Because Lindy was an NHL coach for decades he is certainly qualified to assess both players and coaches, to have say in NHL roster construction, and a say in a pipeline of players needed to support an NHL team. How good he is at it is TBD. So he has some of the tools a GM has right out of the gate, but he is not looking to be the GM at this point. POHO is more a strategic position that selects the GM and AGMs, assign roles and responsibilities, and advises them. It is a less hands on position than the GM and AGMs. Many former players get into coaching (usually juniors or minors first) or scouting. Either path can take you to a GM and POHO position down the road. Scouting might be a more logical path to pursue if you want to be a GM but the NHL is filled with people who did one or the other or both. Lindy is too old to go down the scout path. No one has any idea what role beyond coaching that Lindy has right now, if any. Know one knows if Lindy will be good at FO work either. But he does have some of the qualifications needed and he fills a few gaps that Adams has. In summary, by virtue of his long coaching career he has some skills that relate to FO work, but he lacks real experience in that area If we are stuck with Adams and Lindy another year, and I think we are, then I prefer that Lindy has some say in his roster and in his coaching staff, and that he has Pegula's ear. Yes, some of this is based on how bad Adams has been, clearly Adams needs help. I would not pick him to replace Adams or be the POHO at this point, that is another conversation.

But he loves Gil?

The current road whites are the best if you have it. Otherwise classic blue. Wear Goathead when the team is wearing them. I only have one Sabres jersey, the classic home whites from the 70's, of course.

I would put an "agree" on this but the stuff about military force and Javelins and invasions is way over the top. It is also not accurate. But yes, most Americans do not like the Canada/Mexico rhetoric that came out under this new regime. First, there are no special subsidies given to Canada that I can find anywhere. Right now the US has a large trade imbalance that needs to be fixed, coupled with massive debt. There is no doubt that US has been on the wrong end of tariffs for way too long, even with Canada/Mexico. So I agree that fair trade should be addressed but I just wish it was by someone that can be diplomatic and not throw crazy ideas out to the media. I did some research and Trump was part of the USMCA, the current trade agreement that replaced NAFTA in 2020. Nothing in the USMCA changed under Biden to my knowledge. So whatever Trump still does not like about the USMCA that he signed could have addressed in normal and private negotiations. More tit for tat ... Canada and Portugal are strongly considering dropping procurement of the highly advanced F-35 Fighter made in the US by Lockheed Martin. This is bad for the US, bad for NATO, and bad for the USAF and the US Navy since Foreign Military Sales serve to not only strengthen allies but also lowers the unit cost of the aircraft for everyone. Yes, the fact that I am having to think about this stuff does appear insane to me.
