Pimlach

I cannot believe they gave up a SOG in the final seconds. Good win. UPL was big. Can we stop the Levi stuff. He is not ready.

Win a faceoff, breakout clean to neutral zone. Score in EN. UPL with some huge saves

Nice. This line is clicking. Kulich wants to get back to Buffalo for a spaghetti parm at Chefs.

It’s nice being retired. Except for the fact you are older that is. Sleep? Sure, straight into tomorrow morning. No problem.

Ok. Nice work. Kulich does not want to ever see a garbage plate again.

Drink scotch whiskey all night long. They call me Pimlach blues, Pimlach blues … (outro to sax solo).

Never cared much for the 1970 originals - dull blue/green’Ish color with hockey rink/stick/C eye-test type logo. Especially when the Sabres had the brilliant charging Buffalo and crossed swords with beautiful blue and gold and white. Then the Canucks came up with BIG V Pajama Uni’s. Ugh. Crash and burn.

The Canucks Uni’s have never resonated with me, they are always awkward. Lots of changes, meaning they are never very good.

Ugh. No concept of defensive play Two missing sticks

Marty with a real good analysis of Kulich and the offensive play. The best guy they have on the broadcast by a mile, he should be doing the analysis of PBP. Why can't the Sabres Management see this and improve their $hitty product. Joey something something

How dare Tage interrupt Rob and Dan’s conversation.

Not with the Sabres in town.

Maybe Kozak was still out there with them and they saved Terry the cost of 2 flights. EEE

It was a Terryish way of supporting the team after the disastrous Adams Presser were he focused on how hard it is to get better players to come to Buffalo It was Terry being supportive to Adams. He has no intention on spending money on a loser. They have to get better on their own.

Movement?

You mean accountability starts at the very top? I just read that McDermott and his coaching staff studied an insane amount of tape of the Ravens prior to the game. Like literally every play they had this season. They managed to win the game too.

The Bills should throw everything at them. No holds barred.

I am betting the "guy with a mustache" is this one. Scary dude. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=5070

Tuesday morning and I am already nervous. Most teams don't get many opportunities, this next game feels so much bigger than a football game to me.

The prior core (ROR, Eichel, Reinhart) all managed to leave. It will happen again with Dahlin and Thompson and others too. Adam’s tried to overcome the “Buffalo is a bad destination “ problem but he made it worse by not convincing Terry to let Eichel have the surgery, and by not extending Reinhart and a few others. His concept of stockpiling picks, then draft and develop with “no blockers”, has failed. Most of his young players have regressed while playing in a losing environment.

Adam’s seems desperate for Levi to be great, because Reinhart is.

UPL is the least of the problems with this roster. His worst games have been same games when the five players in front of him get dominated. Watched Levi versus the Kraken on Monday and he did not look NHL ready. Poor rebound control, net front traffic forces him deep into the crease leaving open spots to shoot at given small size.

Tage said he went to the Denver playoff game.
