Porous Five Hole

Sorry Banditland, k hawks are now 6-0.

What is incredibly stupid to me is that there are no defensemen on the Atlantic roster. I know it’s an exhibition, but pretending defensemen aren’t a part of hockey is ridiculous.

Anybody coming to ROC for the game tomorrow? Hawks ticket hasn’t been a popular item since the pandemic (and they’ve also been pretty bad since the team switch), but tix selling well (lower bowl between the nets is nearly sold out) and hoping for a decent walk up tomorrow as it is mild in ROC.

During his induction speech, Miller directly thanked golisano for saving the team and also thanked Larry Quinn by name. So I don’t know how jabby he was actually getting.

I think he did by not participating, no?

He is an expiring contract who hits people and is a relentless forechecker. I’ve got room on my fourth line for him for the rest of the season.

Yes, with their 33k in cap space 😂

Tua?

Oh man, this is so vague it is literally gold

He’s an RFA again. He can be qualified by the team for something close to his current NHL/AHL salary of 750k/225k. 13 goals, 11 assists, 24 pts in 32 games. He’s a tweener. Not fast enough for the show, but big enough to get by in the AHL. If he’s good in the locker room, I can see the team bringing him back. He’s not really blocking anybody. But I believe his days of being considered an NHL prospect are dead.

Now that Vinny is gone, it’s Bryson, VO, and Asplund.

Yes, thank you for saying that. He is free to express himself, and we are also free to express our reactions to it. And I hope the loud and clear takeaway in conversations like this is that hockey is welcoming of everyone. I know this doesn’t speak for every Russian Orthodox believer, but my best friend growing up is still Russian Orthodox…his parents are off the boat from Russia. They took me to one of my first Amerks games when I was little. They aren't homophobic. Based on my experience, it isn’t the religion that’s automatically the problem. The individual in question is just a close-minded clown (obviously without the rainbow wig cuz you know, that could give someone the wrong idea).

Or they need to have someone run the team since Kim isn’t well. I wouldn’t worry about a sale. Terry doesn’t need the money.

https://www.amerks.com/schedule/specialty-jersey-nights The Amerks covered the animals for you, @Quint (along with military, hockey fights cancer, pride, etc). They aren’t stray animals, but I’m sure stray animals really appreciate your sentiment of hockey being inclusive to them!

Totally agree. I checked this thread during halftime-ish, and I saw the two most recent posts were “in serious trouble. I don't see them winning this game,” and “this is why I tell people I don’t get excited about the Bills because they are the only team I know that always find new and creative ways to blow games. It’s been that way since the early 80’s!” And I thought, I don’t think the Fins have 100 yards of total offense yet. We will be fine. I am not calling either poster out because I see this nervous & emotional energy a lot. I think it’s 50 years of losing and losing in the incredible ways Buffalo has. Combine that with the hot take energy of sports talk (and being first/loudest with said opinion), and this is what we get.

All the league and team mean when they support pride nights is to send the message that everyone is welcome in hockey. I don't think his religion actually says he should be opposed to gay people in the arena.

I’m with you. According to the coach, because he had won a string of games (in which the Sabres the Sabres scored 4+). He’s 10-5-1 and to be fair, UPL did make some timely big stops in those games. I was in the send UPL to ROC camp. The team thinks differently.

Got outdueled by Mrazek. Embarrassing.

Unreal

Roth will report to ownership and assumes control of the Sabres’ day-to-day business operations after spending the past 24 years at Fidelity Investments. “Over the past 12 years of knowing and working with John, he has continuously shown exemplary leadership traits and I am thrilled to officially welcome him to our organization,” Terry Pegula said in a statement. “He brings to the table a vast wealth of knowledge and business experience that will greatly benefit both PSE and the Sabres.” He’s the new head honcho for anything not hockey department related.

Can you point to some legal rationale for this? Your reasoning is just people being curious. Do you really believe the Pegula family doesn’t have a contingency if they both passed away suddenly??? Like, it’s not anyone’s business, least of all NYS. And if “you” do, you’ll be reimbursed your money via the poison pill in the lease.

That’s how I see it.

I’m starting to think that something needs to give here. Aside from the paper transaction hassle, two of our three goalies aren’t going to eat as much as they would like. We don’t know what the initial starter’s crease schedule was and how it changed when UPL was sick last Tuesday (Comrie was probably scripted to face his old team that Thursday and was pressed into action on Tue instead), but UPL got the next three starts. After yesterday’s game, Meatballs said this: And to be honest, UPL deserves it to this point. With Anderson going tonight and UPL the likely go on Ryan Miller night, the next possible start for Comrie is Saturday…ten days between starts! What’s more, this could (should) have also been an Anderson game (who sports the best GAA/Sv% of the three of them. GMKA says UPL ‘has to play’ and Meatballs is giving him the lions share based on merit. Andy will get his games and I’ll take his .921 save percentage anytime I can get it. Is it time to move on from Comrie? Chance waivers? Cuz he is about to get crumbs on a go-forward basis and honestly…why steal starts from Anderson??
