I think 1999 was the last time the Sabres and the Bills both played in the post-season. Yikes!

What do you think UPL is thinking with management playing Reimer as much as they have, knowing the season is over? How will he respond next year, knowing that they didn't want to play him at all the last few weeks of the seaon (and with Reimer playing so well)? That has to affect his psyche and his relationship with management, no?

As opposed to a coach with NHL experience who has been fired (maybe multiple times) so is now/will be available? I honestly don't know which is better. Who is out there that has NHL head coaching experience, is available, and hasn't been fired for cause?

It seems like Benson gets called for so many crazy, unwarranted penalties, too. So many times I've seen him called for penalties like roughing that would not be called on someone who was 6' 2 and 200 pounds.

I agree with all of your choices, except for some reason, I have no ill will against Bogo. I would add Ville Leino. I would also add, somewhat controversially, Patrick Kaleta. I thought he epitomized the big effort, low skill player who management seemed to adore. We had way too many of them when we needed big effort, highly skilled players who we had way too little of. Kaletas most praised skill was drawing penalties (and then turtling when the opponent retaliated.) Blech.

I admire his abilities and his goal production, especially at his age. I still think he is a thug. And, at least early in his career, I despised that he felt he could hit anybody, but took umbrage if someone tried to hit him. That said, I won't root for him to beat Gretzky's record, but will applaud him if he does.

I traded in my Samsung S21 for a new S25 today. Does that count?

I had season tickets to SU basketball when I was there in the 1980's, so 2003 was the only championship I can remember rooting for. Unfortunately, I was on a 3 week detail during the tourney and could not watch any of the games. My boss texted me with updates though! Still waiting for the Bills and Sabres, but not holding me breath for either of them.

I watch the Sabres, even when they are not doing well, because I like hockey. But I always feel better after a win than I do a loss. I guess maybe I like the Sabres more than I like hockey since I don't watch much hockey other than the Sabres ( and playoff or Olympic hockey. ) I always am happy when the team I root for wins. Isn't that natural?

Maybe I should pull the fire alarm?

Do you have anyone in mind that is available, could do a good job - and would take the job offer?

Was that back when you were a Brooklyn Trolly Dodger?

The "Bickering Sabres"? Hey, it worked for one Buffalo team years ago. Maybe it'll work again for another?

I always go by what the service intervals are in the user manual. Even if you don't have a paper manual with service intervals, you can find the manual online.

I find that I get my best scores when my second shot is from someone else's fairway. Hit it hard and long off the tee, then make a correction. 😃
