It really does feel like the guardrails on our democracy are starting to loosen from their joists. The wife and I started having serious conversations about moving out of the U.S.

All these assistant coaches need to be jettisoned into the Sun. I just want a semblance of competence.

Meanwhile, your first place Amerks are up 2-0 after 1 over the Crunch despite being outshot 13-6. Wahlberg and Östlund with goals. Levi in net.

That's back to back shutouts for Levi. And this one in a 5 shot shootout. Let Levi cook!

Did Levi play?

They just have to get bigger and stronger as individuals. That game where Cozens got his head bashed in completely changed his trajectory as a player. He was pretty fearless as a player, maybe the best defensive forward on the team. Something got scrambled in his psyche since that event. I'm not sure he'll ever get back to who he was. I'm always wary of the just go punch some dude response. You need to have a good mix of players on the team to deal with the rough stuff. We don't have it right now.

Is he the muscle to protect our flyweight pugilists?

Hey if you can't have an entertaining product on the ice, at least make the front office actions entertaining. It's like the Ryan brothers tandem biking across the campus while the Bills sucked. Meme factory.

Tre White's goalie academy probably has a position open.

Sabres are so much better at even strength.

That was Dewayne Carter - but your point still stands. I'd much rather have Coleman and Carter over Worthy

Dude.

At least not since the classic Olof Pilar days in Buffalo or the Sidd Finch Sports Illustrated article - back when we read paper magazines.

I thought this was an allegorical reference about the Sabres' playoff chances. 🤷‍♂️ Actually I saw a full solar eclipse on the West Coast a few years ago and it was spiritual. If you live along the path, you should really make an effort to see it.

Is this stat for real? When's the last time we out-hit a team by this margin?

Wow, missed the game and just read the full game thread: Summary of periods 1-3: Boring, Sabres suck, fire everybody but the new guy After the OT: Wow, that was a fun game Sheesh.

Alright, haven't been in on a GameDay thread in weeks. Just to change the vibe, I'm in. Let's go boys!

What happened to VO? Wasn't his defensive play really good a couple years ago? I remember thinking that, combined with his sniping ability, would make him a force on our team. Instead, he's behind a one trick pony and not really a part of the future.

Shots are even.

And 7 different goal scorers tonight.

I'm still in shock that GMKA told us Levi had a 40-inch waist. Is that a goalie equivalent to NFL running back Earl Campbell's 36-inch thighs?

Head coach of younger players in lower leagues 🚫 highly paid veterans at the NHL. My biggest reason for optimism is he's growing with this team and their faith in him and his methods will likely improve.

But you also need the team to be so bad you can take the risks of moving Tage to center, letting the team work on their skills not worrying about defense as they grow, etc. He is the perfect coach for where this team is. I'm optimistic he himself will evolve as the players do, but there's no guarantee.

I think the one needed element he'd provide is physicality without a loss of scoring touch. I can't remember a game where the Sabres outhit an opponent. It's the kind of grit required when the team eventually makes them playoffs. But to your point, a 3/4 RHD is perhaps a bigger need.

No apparent updates here but AHL.com says we won 3-2.
