Married to an accountant. We were talking about lack of effort from ownership to make this team better. She had two words. Tax right off. Ok three words. Pagula is making a killing with the bills. It may be the tipping point factor as to why he isn't as motivated as we want him to be to have a successful NHL franchise. Maybe he'd like a successful hockey team but it doesn't overcome the tax benefits. IDK

Like I’ve over and over again, the Sabres was a means to an end for the Pegula’s. Terry doesn’t give two shits about the Sabres. When fans finally come to that realization, and shows they don’t give two shits, is when something will change. Then, and only then will something change with ownership. Either Terry will sell or or an invest a significant amount of money to make the team relevant. I say he sells to the highest bidder with no stipulations.

They need to play at least .550, preferably .600 points percentage in the month of November to stay alive. 

So far November looks like this:

1W  2L  1 OTL = 3 of 8  points,  0.375 pts pct.  That no show, shut out, home ice loss to St Louis looks pretty big.  

Next 3  road games are:  

11/12 - Utah  

11/3 -  Avs 

11/15 - Wings  

They really need 4 of the next 6 points or November starts to slip away.  They have to start a win 2 or 3 pattern or else.  

So with that, how about some Sunday Soul?  A little Americana R&B.   Clarence Carter backed by the Muscle Shoals "Swampers".  

 

 

Well at least you did not link us to Strokin.

A co worker showed me the benefit of adding caramel flavored vodka to apple cider. 
 

Good stuff 

I add regular vodka to it all the time. That also has benefits.

Be sure to hold some back for Wednesday's game, it will likely be needed.

Terry P. Would make significantly more money with or without a write off if he had a serious team. The fan support and revenue generation would be much higher. The obvious fact based on his record is that his own ineptitude has cost him money.

Sounds good in theory, but you're on the road.  The other team has the last change; you aren't getting better matchups with 3 minutes left than you're going to get in the last minute.  And this team does a LOT of turning the puck over near the blue line, either entering the zone or having a D flub it under pressure.  You give the other team way too many chances to end it when you pull the goalie with that much time left.

Again, am sure that analytics say 'yes, pull the goalie with 3 minutes left because you're going to get x matchup and the XG/60 say you need about 3 mintues to have a high probability of scoring another goal' but those analytics don't take into consideration how likely Quinn, Thompson, Power, or Byram are at turning the puck over in that time nor how likely it is that turnover will result in a goal against because the turnover doesn't happen near the goal line but above the circles.

Well the flaw in your theory is you see the goalie being out for all 3 minutes. The idea is you score and put him back in for the last 2 minutes. If he's out for all 3 you likely aren't getting it done anyway. Coach has to go for the match up and O zone face off. But you need to win that face off and you need to send that extra man to the front of the net to create havoc. 

Honestly I don't think it really matters. Appert seems to be designing all these things and like the Pp it's useless.
