  1. Patโ€™s Hot Dogs & Tedโ€™s were across from each other at Sheridan & Parker when I was a kid. Great dogs.
  2. Bummed. Center Ice has the game blacked out down here in the Tampa market. Was looking forward to seeing ร–stlund play tonight. Even WGR550 is blocked. Listening to the Lightningโ€™s radio broadcast.
  3. Agreed. And therein lies the rub.
  4. No Power fan myself. Guessing KA keeps him unless an offer is so good it canโ€™t be turned down. Plays an offensive game. The double entendre applies. Lacks a consistent defensive game. In zone coverage, often caught out of his quadrant in the D zone, and plays a loose hybrid transition to man to man. Doesnโ€™t like board work or checking. Always late to the scrum in defense of a teammate. Has 12 penalty minutes in 74 games and is -15 +/-. Still expect KA to keep him. Power needs a grown man mentor who can take him under his wing to show him how to play D to his potential.
  5. Interesting. What is it about Ruffโ€™s system you think makes it hard on goalies? I watch our D pinch in the O-zone and are open to breakaways and chasing 2 on 1โ€™s too often. Is this what you mean? Ruff must see this. KA must see this. Puts a real premium on goaltending. Not ready to give up on UPL or promote Levi, but Sabres need better goaltending. Is a trade for a proven goalie inevitable this offseason?
  6. Agree. Neither will ever be a strong top 4 D. Doesnโ€™t mean both couldnโ€™t contribute as bottom 4 D. Just means the Sabres need stronger and more physical top 4 D. Trading one or both in a package to get the top 4 D we covet makes great sense to me. Also agree unlikely KA has the ability to do it.
  7. Sweeping the Series vs the Senators! Confidence Builder! Way to be, Sabres!
  8. Thanks for posting the BN snippets, Ctaeth. Does give his firsthand context to Quinn missing the team meeting and his slow start. Certainly been playing well since the benching. If the kid is back, will be a pivotal year at age 24. Needs a good offseason. Put on 10 lbs of muscle and a determination to elevate his 200 ft game with a fast start.
  9. Quinn! Boom! Whatโ€™s up with Quinn the last several games?? Heโ€™s either playing hard to stay with Buffalo after his MIA benching or showcasing himself to the league. Not sure which.
