Stop with the common sense! You must overreact as if the very survival of the franchise depends upon the outcome of an arbitration hearing for a 5/6 defenseman.

Coming off a career year, by quite a lot. A return to pedestrian third line center territory is imminent. I do not see the value myself.

Thanks to the NHL for ensuring I would not be tempted to watch this game by restricting it to their obscure and rarely used NHLN. Their incompetence and bush league status actually helped me in this case by not having to witness that game.

Drugs are bad.

That lineup is ugly.

While I am OK certainly with moving Cousins out at this point, and on the surface at least the deal seems reasonable, my preference would have been to tie Adams’ hands and hire competent management for the Sabres to accomplish the necessary rebuild of this abortion of a team.

I get that there are injury concerns about Norris, but he has been the more productive player. Additionally, I think the Sabres were lucky to get more than a bag of pucks for Cousins at this point given his precipitous decline in production since his big breakout and his continuing lack of heart night in and night out. Maybe he becomes what he once looked like he could be but in the meantime, good riddance. Time to move on from him.

At this point, I would not want Adams to make any significant moves. That should be saved for a competent front office structure who would have free hand to blow this ***** up and start over.

“Go Bills - and take the Sabres with you” was a very popular sentiment at one time expressed in signs, bumper stickers, shirts, etc.

This team seems incapable of being embarrassed. I am sure Lindy is. The players just don’t care.

I am sensing a lack of enthusiasm here.

This whole thing is pretty childish actually. A couple of points though: 1. it’s not surprising Craig Rivet hates Pegula as he has never gotten over being fired. 2. if people got there wish and Pegula sold the team chances are about 99% that would be the end of hockey in Buffalo.

Today was the worst performance I have seen yet from this team. Just awful. There is definitely a rot in this organization.

On Hulu, the game is shown on the ESPN+ stream. If you have ESPN+ and not Hulu, that also works, but you must be authorized for ESPN+ either way. It is bundled on my Hulu package.

There is some hope that the Rangers take them lightly. That plus another evening of honest effort could well get them the win. But, Shesterkin.
