Porous Five Hole

I’ve never raked leaves in shorts before and it was lovely.

I think your analysis is perfect. People want more from Greenway, but this is what he can provide. He’s a grown man and we don’t have a lot of those. He was very effective.

Very satisfying. I think high danger chances and shot quality will be closer than the score, but the Sabres were the harder working team tonight. Nice work UPL.

It was the most logical outcome once Benny is ready, and I also like it. He was fine in Buffalo and he knows he’s the first call up if he responds the right way and produces here in ROC. The ahl game will feel slow now that he has nhl experience.

This ***** does not belong in a game day thread. Find somewhere else to piss and moan.

I have had the same cell phone number for 20 years, so I’m guessing I put my phone number on whatever form I filled out when I moved back to ROC & registered to vote. Just guessing. But I hate it.

I’m getting multiple texts a day and I am dying to find a way to opt out

Lindy is pissed

I’m really struggling with how I want the words of this post to come out. It is mostly from the aspect that anger and sadness has turned into a daily social norm here; and this is social media. The results stink and the games stink, so this can be a stinky place to be. Not because of you or I, but because what we share together really stinks. And here I am, my friend. Taking solace in the fact that I am not the only one who gives a crap about this franchise. Punch, you mention a lot of good hockey talk has moved on and you’re right. And what has replaced that is people airing their frustrations ad nauseam. Please understand, I’m not accusing any individual of that. But it is hard to read….Even if it’s true. I’m not asking for positivity and I’m not here to defend this team. I just want to watch them win and enjoy the ride with passionate Sabres fans. But no one is happy here. And it isn’t our fault.

They are off to their worst start since 2017 (a season where they finished in last place). Im not expecting that to repeat itself, but it puts a rather bleak outlook on this team being anywhere close to playoff caliber.

Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not trying to shill for the team…but to blame the GM for signing a a guy who is good enough to get claimed on waivers isn’t bad GM’ing. What would you want instead? Someone worse? BTW, Reimer is an .864 in his two starts for the Ducks.

@#freejame it isn’t you, so feel free to watch 😂

Amerks with a six goal third period and win 8-1. Nice for Sandstrom to get an “easy” win. ROC plays Utica again tomorrow, who is 0-8 to start the year 😳

Josh Allen is everywhere these days

It’s Benny. This site (understandably) wouldn't allow a higher resolution.

Looks like Dahlin became a dad for Halloween

Can the bang the glass half-wits follow that bum out?

48 years ago and Sabres fans are still laughing about how bad it was haha Ol Kevy shouldn’t have to worry about looking bad in a trade because he’s already told us how hard it is to make a trade and he’s tried really hard already. 🤷‍♂️ But hey, it’s his azz on the line this offseason if the Sabres miss.

I didn’t consider Hall because he forced his way to Boston via no trade. Good call on the McNab trade.

Boston and Buffalo are not going to make a trade with each other. The only time they traded with each other is when Boston traded for Dan Paille. Competing divisional rivals are just not a match to make a deal.

If you want my candy, you need to say “trick or treat.”

Krebs is getting his cookie @xzy89c1 you gave me a thumbs down, but this is exactly what happened.

One of the important things for Buffalo to make the playoffs was for a perennial team to fall back. Boston is falling back. You cannot bury them until April, but they look bad and I’m here for it.

If this is true, then why did KA give UPL a five year extension?

You’re right, but no one was saying this after Dylan’s 31 goal, 68 point season. It has gone poorly since then, but he was 22 at the time he signed his extension and his current putrid play was not the expected growth model. The plan was for him to grow into a bonafide 2C. So, time to pivot like you’re suggesting. No doubt he has been bad the last 1.25 years and it is on Ruff/Dylan to figure it out, but the plan was for Dylan to continue to ascend. That hasn’t happened. However, I don’t blame the Sabres for not seeing this coming. No one hated the Cozens extension at the time. This is an opportunity for GMKA to make his mark or deservingly get fired…and he has the cap space to make it happen. He probably needs time for a seller to identify they’re a seller and make a hockey trade. His job probably depend on it.
