I also believe the Sabres read the room a bit wrong a while back and assumed the NHL was becoming a less physical, wide open, skating league and drafted and developed as such. I don't think think they guessed right, and are paying for it now.

I'm close to this line of thinking. As I've said in other posts, I believe TP looks at the Sabres as part of an overall portfolio. He certainly doesn't look at it like fans like you and I do (I know, no sh!t). There's some financial prerogative he's operating the team under that's not completely clear to me, but has had my (and a lot of) antennae up for quite a while.

I think Pegula is just waiting until the Bills season is over before doing anything. Doesn't want a firing to be a distraction. One can only hope. We shall see.

The PP makes my teeth itch.

'Tis a low bar.

Uber meh.

Such a moribund team to watch. Just so... meh. Offense. Defense. Goaltending. Checking. Passing. Meh.

Well, he and Zucker.

Getting late here on the east coast. Packing it in. FYI - The other original Ramones were Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy. And none of their last names was Ramone. G'night

Joey is one. Three more.

Incorrect 😝

Since this game is a dud, how about some trivia... Name one of the original members of the Ramones. No cheating/Googling.

They must presume some of us Sabres fans are watching.

Crowd-sourcing, basically.

I dunno. An opposing theory is he thinks "OK, I've proven I can build a winner in football. Now watch me build a winner in hockey and become a real big sh1t". I fully believe their top level management structure can only focus on one major sports team at a time. But we're getting ahead of ourselves....

Gotta be tough to be the bastard step-child of Buffalo sports.

I'd give it a grade B. The puck wasn't flat, which would be grade A.

Ha. If so, that begs what the question is.

Growing pains. Still. 🤮

So embarrassing. Hi Terry! Hi Kevyn! Enjoying the game? LOL

Nah, just a collection of players wearing the same uniform. Unless they're winning. Not a team.
