Correct. And the ‘palm trees and taxes’ excuse wouldn’t apply to the weaponizing of the cap space. What KA could have gained from doing so is currency to make helpful trades to upgrade the roster. (For those without NMC’s).

Something I really need to get off my chest and this is probably the best place to do it. It’s regarding the $$ allocated to the roster. One of two things must be true. KA has repeatedly said TP has put no restraints on him (no internal cap) and KA has chosen not to utilize the $$. Or TP has instituted an internal cap. If the first is true then KA should be fired for doing nothing with the cap space to help this roster. If the second is true then TP is letting KA stand up and lie about what’s happening and is knowingly letting KA absorb the slings and arrows on his behalf while remaining silent. As the leader that’s about as gutless a move one can make.

Yep. Players leave and suddenly get better. Players come in and suddenly get worse. It’s not a coincidence.

Hope he’s not thinking ‘I’m too old for this *****’.

That presser was deflating, to say the least, to Sabre fans everywhere. Have to wonder how the players felt hearing that no improvements are on the way. (Not excusing today’s lack of performance).

Guess I posted that too soon.

No surprisingly, tha same guy that’s been in charge the past few years.

@Wyldnwoody44 you’ve been on fire for a week now. $10 for Powerball numbers?

Get all of the waiver-exempt kids down to ROC and away from this ***** show. Then go scorched earth on the rest of the roster.

Chase, chase, chase …. Back of the net.

I hope TP watched that and realize how terrible the Sabres are.

Random question. What’s up with the back of Chris Collingsworth’ hands? They look bruised or black and blue like he’s had problematic IV’s. Woody, ever seen anything like that?

If it’s a straight-up bet (no points given) the risk/reward is well in your favor.

I would be very surprised if he is. Didn’t even have a full practice Wednesday because of his shoulder. His arm is only average when he’s healthy. If it’s windy tonight he should really struggle. Just don’t let CMC beat you (easy, right?) 🙄 Bosa and Williams, in particular, being out is a big advantage for the Bills.

What We Do In The Shadows. Originally a movie but then a TV series (where Colin appeared). Its a spoof on the vampire genre. Like Spinal Tap did to metal bands.

He was Colin Robinson .... the Energy Vampire. (Let's see if anyone else ever watched WWDITS).

The Bills are averaging ~ 29 points per game without him. And the the team ate a boatload of money to rid themselves of him. I have to think no one is missing him.

So, as we stand today, is Power's ceiling Erik Karlsson?

Anyone got any intel on what's going on with him? Should he be a trade target? (Recognizing he's not the veteran presence that would be ideal).

Either/or. Ultimately they need to somehow get Cozens and Quinn going.

I certainly wouldn’t give up on Quinn either. He hasn’t suddenly forgotten how to play hockey. I would be inclined to give the McLeod Zucker Greenway line - one that showed very nice chemistry - ‘2nd line’ minutes and give the Cozens Benson Quinn a bit lighter load with maybe better matchups to get that line going. (Although not keen about reducing Benson’s minutes).

I, too, get agitated (to put it mildly) when the Sabres lose to teams like the Habs, Flyers and Isles. Teams I feel like they should beat. Until they don’t. But I’m coming to the realization that this is a common occurrence across the NHL. Quite likely the way fans of FLA, Stars and the NYR felt after losing to the Sabres earlier. So I’ve tried to take these more in stride when the Sabres play these clunkers. (My wife tells me it’s not working BTW).

Many comments about the condition of the ice during the game. Might the pre-game ceremony for Thornton have had something to do with it?

Which begs the additional question: Who decided to name an award in such a macho sport the Lady Byng Trophy??

If my abacus is working correctly the Sabres allowed 4 goals on the 3-game road trip. That’s impressive.
