It is really a shame that Dudley left in the prime of his career at the age of 26(after 74-75 season) to go to the WHA. I don't remember much about the circumstances other than $$$. He was not the same player when he returned in 1979.

I understand, and am all in favor of the Sabres keeping him around for this stint.

Preseason and regular season are two different animals.

Remember hearing of it, never saw it. 😂

Who?

Better odds than what I got a month ago… 94 is the over/under on my bet

Me likey. 👍🏻

I don’t obsess with this burning a year of the ELC. At this point, I would prefer Savoie stays put and once 100%, does a conditioning stint in Rochester, gets in some games with the big club, off to the WJC in December, and then back here. Benson unless he is completely overwhelmed in his 9 game stint, also stays.

Stating the obvious, but their diet soda’s obviously don’t use pure cane sugar.

WNY summer is over after today. Now time for 8 months of gray, gloom, cold, wind, rain & snow.

I haven’t been following close. I thought the new stadium was going to be in Ybor City?

How many players are left in camp?

TBH before going into Pizza Plant a few years back, I had never heard of Johnny Ryan pop. At some point afterwards, I found out it was made locally.

The Tampa Rays and their fans dressed as empty seats go down without a whimper. I know the stadium needs to be in Tampa and not St Pete, but that is embarrassing.

Damn…who would have known we have fans of Johnny Ryan soda here. 😂

Sounds like a plan. We will see.

I disagree. Who is filling that void for the other 30 games? AHL talent Spillman, Bryson & Clague? …and EJ’s rest days don’t even factor in injuries to any of the other top 6, which then puts 2 of the 3 listed above into your lineup.

Not the cola and diet cola products. They suck! 🤮

Huh? I can understand missing some games to rest him, but they signed him expected him to be hurt for a 1/3 of the season or more?

Thread sidebar, I only went there once, because they serve that Johnny Ryan soda crap. I wonder if they are still cheaping out, or carry Coke or Pepsi products now?

20-21 4 GP 21-22 77 GP 22-23 63 GP 6 other times in his career, he has missed 20+ games in a season. He may be fine, but if I was a betting man, I’d bet he misses at least 25 games to injury.

The smiles this baby brings to me are endless. The bond is so strong. Maybe it is just me being older, but a completely different feeling from when my daughter was born. Hard to explain.

Fair points.

Always annoying. EJ could be in the lineup on opening night, or we might not see him until Thanksgiving.

Yes. No changes to any scoring settings.
