"We're not a destination" for UFAs. Wonder why, jackass. KA is defiant about the need to be young.

KA did not answer Mike's question about changing the composition of the team. The process. Bingo! Hold your cards.

Lance tees up the youth excuse. Kevyn to Lance: you answered your own question.

You know this as well as I do... pressers like this are all we have. Let us have it. Granted it's only a warmup to the biggie more than likely to come after the season. But still...

Narrator: The Sabres are bottom feeders.

Mike H. said he requested it on Wed. I'm guessing after practice was canceled and media access closed off. A power play by Mike. So it did kind of come out of nowhere. Lance goes to great lengths to defend the organization. Just listen today and compare to Mike. Lance will surely cherry pick some positives from this season and ask Kevyn about them. Book it.

Will the networks break into regular programming to carry this live?

You would.

And so? No title? Just GDT: Game 17 ? GDT?

TARO SEZ: TP NOT VERY CHARMIN'

Some version of: Winnipeg Jets at Buffalo Sabres, December 4, 2024, 7 p.m. An argument could be made for semicolons. I am not sure TV/radio info. is even needed given the various ways people can tune in. I would make an exception for games exclusive to one network. Winnipeg Jets at Buffalo Sabres, December 4, 2024, 7 p.m. (TNT exclusive) Something akin to a headline (objective and never snarky) could be useful to set the stage (and would be interesting to read months or years later). Winnipeg Jets at Buffalo Sabres, December 4, 2024, 7 p.m., Sabres look to recover from collapse, avoid five-game losing streak

3. Being serious. Is it too much to ask to have a standard format? I know the mods are super duper busy (their work never ends), but they are the ones who should clean 'em up. Someone should question Punch's motivation for saying the GDT doesn't need to make it clear where the game is. Dodo must be up his ass about caulking the bathtub.

Correct. The Sabres never suck defensively with Dahlin in the lineup.

For one, there is no agreed upon format (the one I approve).

The Theory of Shrader's Cat applies here. No NHL player is that stupid. Maybe Matt Barnaby on AOL in 1997. Maybe.

Hot take: Until this board gets its GDT title act together, the franchise will continue to founder. Not picking on Caveman... everyone sucks at it.

I think it's going well.

My opening! Churchill there is reacting to results of the Weave Pole Challenge.

It's 2024. You are the media.

I'm not sure he's terrible. He can be very good for stretches, but like the Sabres, he can't or won't sustain it. He sounds like he's always auditioning for HNIC.

This isn't another Dan is Bad rant. It's a I Don't Get Dan rant. His calls of Colorado's tying and go ahead goals featured among the most excitable "score" deliveries of his time in Buffalo. I mean, he really felt those goals. He came off as the Avs' announcer. Of course he wasn't going to follow "score" with any crazy Avs word play or expressions, but if he had, it would have fit right in. This is the guy who has no problem literally not calling many Sabres goals. The team doesn't bleed blue and gold. Neither does Dan. They are a match made in heaven.

Should?

Disdain rings true with me. The owner simply doesn't speak to the fans. If I had to guess I'd say getting booed on RJ night was some version of marital irreconcilable differences.

Despite having lofty salary goals, kickstarting their careers has proven difficult for Gen Z.

Can you top it?
