Night Train

Caps were bad but got in to the playoffs because they got to OT far more often to get that 1 point. Sabres were busy flunking the first period and playing from behind most games. No need to visit Baker Street. Our so called stars all slumped. Bounce back with Ruff pushing them ? We can only watch and hope.

Agreed and they made that effort to finally change that. I started to worry that KO and Girgs would be here yet another year beyond their usefulness. Nothing personal but they should have been moved out long ago. Reminds me of the Bills during the drought when I became convinced the Bills would keep signing average Chris Kelsay to 1 year deals for the next 25 years. " We like him ". Great....go adopt a dog...

A good marinade and some garlic...

this Open has one of the hardest back 9's I've ever seen. Watching many implode.

Nice read. Glad to see our newbies can fly. Hope they can make a difference.

In the nosebleed orange seats, you looked straight down and watched the game between your knees.

Sounds like more of an indifference ranking. "Don't hate them" means you get a better ranking.

Ideal but overblown.

Murphy was better as the color guy next to Van Miller. Yet being local, I stopped listening to the radio call years ago. Even the TV Network guys are less than stellar. Call the wrong players constantly and read bad notes on players they know little about. I posted that when I watch the Bills in my house, I play jazz music in the background.

Bullseye. I'm not hypercritical of play calling but this seems to be the norm these days with multiple announcers. Can they not see the uniform numbers and feel senseless banter is a good backup ? It;s a big comedown from Rick and Ted Darling who raised the excitement level at the proper times with precise play by play.

A reach of epic proportions. Brainwashed.

A parallel between Bedard and Benson ? That seems silly. I know who Benson is.

I think 15 goals is reasonable at his age. Still a teen and I cannot project him to some unreasonable number yet. I see upside.

Sabres have to have bounce back seasons from our top 6 guys that slumped.

There still must be teams needing to become cap compliant. I'm sure many here know the teams. Prospects/picks for NHL players has to be a real possibility for the Sabres right now.

Funny how things change. A year ago, it was " OMG, we need More Goalies ! Doomed ! " ..and UPL goes out and plays better than anyone on the roster, keeping Levi in Rochester to improve..A good thing. Meanwhile, the rest of the team slumps. Surprising to a degree on all fronts. Now we have a whole new set of concerns with Lindy ( yes, I think that's a big improvement ) and a different roster. I get it. A lot of tougher, faster players added.. but no big goal scorers it seems..We'll see how it looks come camp. Can it work ?

Agreed. Our Summers have a few brief stretches of hot days but the vast majority are great from May until early October. I spend 5 months on my deck and consider that entire time " Summer ", which I can do in retirement. I lived in Maryland and Florida during my Military days. I detested those summers.

Seems the company line is Savoie was seen as a winger and they needed a Center with speed.

Agree completely but JC..at least he tried and didn't run it back again. A real fear prior. I'll give it a chance and think one more player is coming.

Fan of True Grit.

On a side note, when did the Hockey News become a clickbait site ? Every day, they have a "rumor" of the Sabres interested in a different player. Seems baseless.

The best ability is availability.

If we trade anyone, it's this china doll.

I hope he plays well in Rochester and attributes all of his success to eating a Nick Tahou Cheeseburger garbage plate every day for lunch..
