I am not sure how to interpret this...seem as if they are saying there was a deal in place for Greenway but due to his injury status he is not able to be moved now? Not sure why we would trade a player who actually is playing well when he plays. https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/sabres-have-trade-blocked-just-hours-before-nhl-roster-freeze

Let's be real for a second here...the NHL's business model is completely broken. Only 6 teams actually make a profit. That's absurd. So effectively 26 teams either break even or lose money? Expecting owners to pump in 30-40-50 million year after year of their own money is not a model that even makes any sense. No NFL team loses money. Pretty sure the only reason an NBA team loses money is because they go way over the luxury tax cap trying to win a championship. MLB is similar to the NHL with the haves and have nots in terms of revenue and spending but even they have some sort of revenue sharing model. It's absurd for the NHL to operate their business with a model where under 20% of teams make money. Why are the players getting such a large revenue share when teams are struggling to make money? This isn't the NFL where all player contracts are set by a salary cap based on TV revenue that essentially is free payroll for owners. The NHL is way, way too reliant on game day activities like ticket sales, concessions and parking. That makes up 56% of NHL revenue. The NFL makes 65% of its money from National TV contracts, close to $13 Billion. Almost double what the NHL makes in total revenue from all streams. Is it any wonder why teams are constantly moving around? They need to fix their business model..I sure as hell am not blaming an owner because he doesn't want to maximize his losses.

I find that hard to believe considering he grew up loving and listening to the Sabres and cried at the press conference when he saw Gilbert Perreault there and told him he was his hero. Not knowing what to do or doing the wrong things doesn't equate to not caring. He simply doesn't understand how to do things in hockey the way he does in football.

A few main points: 1) Young players being rushed to the NHL too quickly. Says the main core of the Sabres isn't even close to their potential yet. 2) Disconnect between NHL team and AHL development plan. 3) Lack of enough solid vets on the team to allow younger players to develop in AHL https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/scouts-analysis-why-the-sabres-potential-isnt-paying-off/

This simply doesn't match up with reality. I am guessing you don't watch enough other teams play football to have any real comparison points.

I disagree with the OLine. They are very good...one of the best in the NFL in both pass and run blocking. Allen has been sacked only 13 times all season, an NFL low. Sure, some plays Allen gets pressure but that's going to happen here and there. Most plays, especially the last month, Allen has a clean pocket.

If I was Lindy Ruff, I would have told the coaches on the way to the tunnel to not say a word to any of the players and walk out of the locker room to the team bus and wait for them there. Then not say anything the entire trip back. Then leave without telling them about practice tomorrow. Then send a group text message to cancel practice tomorrow morning 15 minutes before it started. Show these f**ks the same level of disrespect they showed him, the rest of the coaches, the GM and the owner.

What an absolutely embarrassing performance after your owner comes to a road game to tell you he believes in you

Nice to see Terry's message get thru

What in the Sam Hill is going on here? Quinn on the board early and then they scored another??

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...WE WANT 10!!!

Oh f**k off Sabres

Of course...

What the hell call was that?? So now a player doesn't have the right to the ice ge is standing on??

Zucker has been credited with the first goal now

Yaaaaa!!! One for the good guys!

So sickening how easy other teams make it look on the PP and half the time we can't even get a single shot on net.

JFC...c'mon guys...Wilson is killing us as per usual

Seriously Benson?? Completely ridiculous penalty to take there.

Wilson always seems to give us issues and score goals against us

It's amazing to watch what a good power play looks like. Imagine getting multiple good chances when you get the man advantage and actually scoring goals routinely.

Bills struggle usually the day after Sabres losses...

I mean Rasmus put up 4 straight 40+ point seasons for us on terrible teams. That's not nothing... But he did that playing way more minutes than he should have.

Gretzky called out Power in the intermission after he failed to clear the puck on Zibanijad's PPG in the 1st... "I just want to say, guy wins the faceoff, Power has to get the puck out. That's why you're losing. There's no excuse for that puck not getting out. On your strong side. 220 pounds. 6-foot-6. That puck has to get down the ice."

If this team didn't have bad luck they would have no luck at all.
