Night Train

13 years of no playoffs when half of the teams make the playoffs speaks volumes. I believe that explains a lot of posts quite clearly.

That confirms to me they won't change and feel untouchable. " We are doing it right " . Detached.

So far, Beane retained the players I hoped he would. The posted $ numbers are always something different in real cap figures. Really needed to keep Jones, Epenesa, Rapp and Lewis on D. Floyd is turning 33 and vanished down the stretch after a good start. . Didn't think he was staying. Have zero idea how much room they have after the Allen restructure. I believe this time around he's happy to have the extra draft picks in what is being rated as a very deep draft.

NFLN - OT Dion Dawkins: Agreed to a three-year, $60.5 million extension. Dawkins was entering the final year of his contract. (Mike Garafolo)

And now a report (Buff News) that he's getting a 3 year extension.

Details of what that is.

Yes, it's more likely they package some to move up after getting a Comp 4th instead of the expected 3rd rounder. We'll see. Need a partner. I expect an Allen and maybe Taron Johnson contract redo to be announced shortly. FA tampering starts tomorrow with contracts getting signed on Wed. Would allow the Bills to go get a couple players or more. Brown of Ariz. and Chark of Carolina are WR's that can stretch the D. More are out there. Fill the roster ? DL and Safety also.

He played far better than Power and Samuelsson many games. Keep him around as #6 or #7. Need the depth. Then focus on forwards that don't float and score half their expected total.

So basically we need to win every game and have a drone bomb the opposing arena's ?

I doubt they mess with Rochester, if they are in playoff contention. If anything, make them stronger late. Sabres will finish the year just being the Sabres....which isn't that good.

I would vote someone else. Have to think about it and see if anyone new arrives before October. I think those top 4 aren't C types at all.

I'm clamoring for something better than .500 and the postseason. Are we there yet ?

Big Joe Todaro ?

Passed up a free ticket yet again. Leaving in a few to do something better with the family. Highlights/lowlights later. Have fun !

4 hours until another game and no gameday thread. I'll be out with the family and won't watch.

Multiple elite forwards. Let's get real about this roster.

KO on TV right now with Bucci on ESPN2. Had to tell his 5 kids as they came home from school. That has to be something. Saying all the right things naturally.

Good for him. Going from a Golf Club to an actual Hockey Club.

One game in for the new guy and made a positive impression. This morning , he's probably thinking " Nice to have friends here but man is this team soft..."

Yet another penalty by the Sabres...

And I continue to like Greenway...

After a bad start, the new guy delivers !

Comrie in net.

So just Luxembourg and Monaco ?

Sabres plans.. 1. Get a new set of Callaways. 2. Work on the iron game. 3. Hit Cabo for 2 weeks.
