Standing Room Smoking Cigs

No although the cost is high and could see Power is a price to pay, but he is still growing, his metrics are high. Byram and a kid a price to pay, maybe a pick also, but Power is a kid still, give him time, Remember the Sens and Isles gave up on Chara.

Fair point, respect that, but what is your remedy of getting out of the drought?

So by your reasoning, we will be a team of 23 players classified as JAG. Brilliant, but wait isn't that we have done sporadically for the last 14 years. Not mocking you, nor no aminosty, I'm just saying by now, you to take a swing, if it doesn't work, fine... We are use to that by now.

And I did have make sure he did a 100 point season. Yeah that would have looked bad... Memory can fade🤣

Then what do we need, A 'Legion of Doom' of the dead puck era? A 7 foot goalie outfitted with oversized equipment that out sizes the whole goal? Pettersen is seen as soft, point taken, but name me 100 players who have had a 100 point season since the post lockout of '03. Give me the early '80's Sabres, they sucked in the playoffs, but they played great games for the public. Apathy is prevalent.

And don't forget we traded Peter McNab, he had a heck of career in Boston. Tage was stuck in STL, things changed for him. Just do something, things aren't working as is.

I don't know but yes I'm going there, they need to do something, I never thought my Father's anniversary death date would coinside with the drought. These are suppose to be my salad days of watching my team in retirement. And I hate salad, just least try being bold...

Players who were good sulked how did that work out for next team. Paging Mr. Lafontaine (NYI).. Mr. Hasek (CHI)... Mr. O'Reilly (from BUF to STL)... Mr. Montreau (from BUF to FLA). Don't include Sam, he actually said he would stay. Take a swing give us hope, hell it's been 14 years, if it doesn't work fine but at least there was that hope!

Why? We are stashing so many #1's in Rochester. We will stash another high end kid this year in a "bad draft year". Send the first rounder in '26 a good draft year. Krebs or Bensen are never going to be 100 pointers. Too small, they get muscled out, (I appreciate their play though). Kulich is literally the only player prospect I'd keep now.

Trade the prospects, send Byram and #1 in 2026, throw in Krebs or Benson. Don't wait for draft day deals.

I hate when trade deadline disrupts my Friday Matlock marathon on Peacock.. A pox upon you Bettman.

We are seeing a power shift, Lindy knows Buffalo and now he is going to push his moves, Adams is cooked. Thank you

Lord knows he said it a lot

Hah... Ruff knew Cozens was soft, Lord knows it was Ruff sending the message through all his contacts in the NHL that kid wasn't his type of player, hence 4 months of rumors that Cozens was on the block. I like this, it's a Lindy move and a message. Bye Bye the "Workhorse from Whitehorse" (always hated that Dunleavy line).

That whiley old Southern man won the case all is good in my TV world!

It's true, about hiring the best. Knox was that. Maybe I do overlook Pegula's lack of being 'there'. All the memories of the Knox ownership when my parents had season tickets, my Uncle owning a section of the Reds was '81 when a snow storm hit during the game and the crowd implored Seymour to buy a beer. He didn't buy beers, but he kept the Aud open and paid for food. We got home but my cousin Sin was pregnant and they stayed. The owner was invested.

Saw posts about Adams and replied, but felt this deserves it own topic. Kevyn (what the hell, it's Kevin). Just getting started and don't blame me for paragraphs, I grew up without computers. Mr. Adams is the antithesis of a Sabres GM. Going back to Punch our pedigree for a GM was making bold moves. Punch, (not Ingles), Bowman, Meehan, Muckler and Regier and Murray (Murray flamed but tried). They did the moves, sold the team to the players. Adams, no, blame others, he can't sell Buffalo as a team, a place or woo them with cash. Say what you want say about Pegula but if Adams can't convince that a move is good then why for love of Pete is he a GM. Adams got comfortable. That is a problem. Rant done, old Guy here is going to watch original Matlock..

Continuing on my riff... If Adams blames outside things as to why players won't come here, why is he a GM? I don't know, maybe because he can't sell which is a GM is paid to do. Sorry Kevin boyo. but maybe spending time in the summers at Chautauqua Lake instead of fixing your mess is a look in the mirror thing.

My problem with Adams is he doesn't have the Sabres pedigree that is a Sabres general manager. Being of an age going back to Punch, our GM's were bold. They made moves. Adams is soooó gun shy. Hell, even though Murray flamed out, he tried. That is sad thing about Adams. He forgets to take the balls off the mantle, because he got comfortable. That is an indictment.

The Sabres are exasperating... So now I just need Lebeau's POW strudel to feint Sgt Schultz...and all will be right in the world... Yep, it has come this...🤪🤪🤪

75 is a jubilee

Minutes.!

Yeesh... The best ever... childhood hero sitting in the red section facing north.... "No one scores a goal like Gilbert.... 74 candles, now but still a 20 year superstar in my child's eye of then.

This is playoff hockey Refs are going to let hitting tonight....

So I'm tuned into the the game today.... virtual side board ads for La Nova.... Hah... billions of wings sold.... Hah.... no offense to them, I'm Irish and I embellish... but really!.... no offense to those who may be offensed.... but c'mon... The Irish own embellishment....🤣
