  1. I was working in a camera shop in the 1990s when Irv Weinstein walked in. I ended up waiting on Irv and commented about the recently-retired Rick Azar, saying that he really aged gracefully. To that Irv said: "Do you mean that I'm not aging gracefully?" 

    RIP Rick, a class act.

  2. If Covid resolves and we get a normal 2021-2022 season starting in October...(insert laugh here)...I can think of at least one way to improve the Sabres without doing a thing.  Change to a less competitive division. Wash, NYR, NYI, Pitt, Phil NJD, Bos, etc. in the northeast region all have our number. In addition, if the divisions ever get back to normal, TO, MTL and OTT should probably beat the crap out of us for the foreseeable future.

     

    Back in the Buffalo Bisons AHL days, they were in the Western Division. I don't see why Buffalo can't be moved to a division where they'd be more competitive, maybe even a bottom feeders division. 

     

  3. There was an interesting quote by the new coach of the Flames Darryl Sutter. Last night his team lost 7-3 to Edmonton. What he said IMO sounds like the kind of message the historically goal-challenged Sabres need to hear...

    "This team, this group of players have to learn, they don't have the firepower to not put themselves in a position to be good defenders or to check or to play well in their zone."

     

  4. I know some/most of you don't like Hamilton, but in his latest column I thought there were some interesting and revealing nuggets

    I have never seen a team sloppier in practice than the Buffalo Sabres. Simple passes aren’t completed on a regular basis, and going offside during drills is a regular occurrence that is never corrected.

    I can tell you many players on this team have no respect for this team’s history. Many of them wouldn’t know Gil Perreault, Danny Gare or Pat LaFontaine if they fell over them.

    Many of us heard about Krueger, or whoever ran practices, not calling offsides in practice. We wonder why the Sabres can't complete simple passes like all the other NHL teams do...but I had no idea that many of these players don't know who Gilbert Perreault is. That blows my mind. These players need to be identified and jettisoned. I hate mercenaries and that's what many of "our" guys and perhaps Krueger, had in common.

  5. I won't believe it until I see it. I've had the rug pulled out from under me too many times with this team. One thing that I believe is that if Krueger is fired, the Sabres Pegulas will follow their counter-intuitive M.O. and hire another leader(s) with little to no NHL experience. They think they're smarter than everybody else but in reality, they're stupid and they never learn.
