It’s not new. There”s just no place for a 40 goal scorer on the Buffalo Sabres. Remember when people didn’t want to “mortgage the future” for Ilya Kovalchuk. You know, the future that had him taking the Devils to the SCF, and the Sabres to,… well… JFC… And just like with the Bruins, I’ll enjoy the demise of the Penguins when it actually happens.

I’m pretty sure that both sides of thing can agree that this is the make or break year. No playoffs, you gotta go.

What good would getting a goalie have done with the roster we had before last season? I mean, unless you wanted to ruin his love for the game, as well.

Jerk.

While I do agree with this, I will say that before KA took over, I hated this team. I was only watching out of habit and pretty much didn’t like a single player on the team (with exceptions, of course.) I couldn’t stand anything about them, coach, GM, owner, to say nothing of the bafflingly awful hockey they were playing. I was kinda hoping that they would move, so I could just watch hockey for hockey’s sake. I like this team now. I want them to win. I like KA and he is the reason. (I know, the last line should probably be in the other thread,… maybe the entire post. We live in a confusing time.)

Yep. This is my last visit to this thread. We get it. Goaltending. Even though he has drafted/picked up/traded for several, including one of the best prospects in the league at the position. All to no avail, yet. But because he didn't go to the magical, mythical land where all the spare starting veteran goalies grow and pluck one off the branch, he is a failure.

Why would anyone go see it in the first place? Oppenheimer was fantastic.

Just because you keep saying this doesn’t make it true.

I honestly can’t believe that after 15 years,… sorry, I had to swallow down some vomit,… we are still basically saying we just have to wait for our core to develop.

Pedestrian.

Wow. This harkens back to the "Multiple Stanley Cups" speech. I think you need to slow your roll with the whole "sustained success" stuff. Can we at least wait until we get some,… any success, before we start anointing them? I only need for them to make it to A playoff appearance (yes, that's how low my threshold is) in order for me to be excited. We'll all just have to wait to find out if a single thing you wrote is actually true. At least we all, seemingly, have a reason to be optimistic.

My first weekend of the summer with zero plans,… and it’s not a thousand degrees outside! I may actually get out on the kayak tomorrow. I even hope it rains so there are fewer people out there.

People fear the “different”. I embrace it.

I admit to really liking that, as well. Probably because the Sabres have actually been pretty good at it (most likely out of necessity given who our goalies have been.😂)

The only changes I would like to see are getting rid of the instigator rule and getting rid of the trapezoid. I kinda like where hockey is right now. I just don't understand why people get so angry about the points system. The only thing changing it would do is swap a few teams in the 7 to 11 seeds. And under no circumstances do I want to see the puck being played off of the netting. This isn't arena football?!

Curmudgeon rant alert: I'm really tired of hearing young people complain about student loan debt and the cost of housing, all while holding there Starbucks coffee cups and paying for every streaming service out there, after they just got back from going on trips that I still haven't saved enough to be able to afford.

I bet the drive is prettier,… even though they are both rt 90.

While having baby hawks in the neighborhood is kinda cool, they really need to STFU on a Saturday morning. They’ve been screeching for hours.

Duds is right. How many more times do we need to hear that we need a goalie? It’s not pressure to fall in line. And we don’t need Levi to be great. We just need him to be slightly above average out of the gate, and I’m pretty sure he will be. Our goalies sucked hind tit last year.

The thing is, Those are issues. not questions. Plus, we do know the answers. KA did address the D. And I would shout this next with all caps, but that is obnoxious-[there is no veteran starting goalie out there that is or would be available. Teams don't just give those away.] We gave one away, cuz we were trying to suck, and it led to 12 years of the suckiest bunch of suckiness that ever sucked. And it is annoying to keep hearing people cry and whine about it. Levi is the plan. Again, not a question.

I really hope you are all right. I'm not saying they are going to win 50 games, but they could still finish ahead of a Sabres team that other than TT, has a spine of a bunch of unproven (or old) guys.

"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"-Mark Twain We have been hearing about how the Bruins were going to tail off for a while, now: how old they were, their bad draft, etc. Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it.

I'll believe it when I see it. For the past 5 years, they've had a Mark Twain like recovery.

So, those were definitely some questions about the roster in that piece. Just not sure if any off them were glaring. They all seemed to have some pretty straight forward answers. I really despise inflammatory language for the sake of click bait.
