What they needed was to improve the defensive play so we don't give away scoring chances like (quoting Lindy) "Halloween candy." I think they took several steps toward that this offseason.

Why did the poll leave out "The Sabres?"

How many chefs can fit in one kitchen?

Tuch wasn't a "Tuch type" player before he got here. Zucker was considered some 3rd line JAG when the Sabres signed him. McLeod? Who liked that trade when it happened? To write off Doan before he even steps on the ice is silly. As for your comment about standards and expectations, that assumes the Sabres choose to aim low. It's just as possible they aim for the stars and get rejected. In fact that's probably closer to the truth than the team not wanting to make impact moves. I believe the Sabres made every move they could but not every move they wanted. They improved the grit factor while losing some scoring.

14 years doesn't matter to Tuch. The past 4 do. What happened before he arrived isn't important. As for money, he can get paid almost anywhere. He's going to sign where he is happiest. And I have to believe he has a better sense than any of us of where the Sabres are heading. If after this offseason he's willing to sign a deal, that tells you he thinks we are trending the right way.

It's hard to imagine but maybe he likes it better and thinks the team is improving? Doan?

You can hate the team AND the player. It's a win-win.

No. It's just acknowledging an era of this team. For a significant number of fans, those are the Sabres' real jerseys.

How about meeting at a BDSM dungeon where we can flog each other? Seems appropriate for a group of masochists.

I live in NH and I'm 45 minutes from Hampton Beach. The big news this summer was all the empty hotel rooms and unrented condos that normally are filled with vacationers from Quebec.

Dude, the drop in border crossings is real. It's math. Every business in the US that relies on people coming from up north is hurting. Don't come here trying to gaslight us that it's not happening.

But until now there was a reasoned approach to crossing the border. There was an understanding that most people are just going to a game or doing some shopping, and that border crossings are an economic engine. Now how much sense is there in hurting businesses in your border community by treating everyone crossing with suspicion? That's overdoing it and it's unnecessary.

Yes. That's the point of the article. Crossing for any reason is a hassle.

Who decides that? Then explain the drop when the Sabres aren't playing?

True. I just meant that on mid-week work nights folks would not want to risk ANY delay due to an over-zealous border grunt.

Albany FireWolves are relocating to Ontario for upcoming season https://share.google/IVRO1Yigvutm765cQ That's a shame but it's not like Albany showed up in big numbers. I drove from NH two years ago when the Bandits had a playoff game there and they barely had 4,500, and maybe 1,000 were Bandits fans.

Turns out beating Arizona would have been the better move.

Every "dud" Sabres goalie magically gets better when they leave. There's a reason. Also D includes the forwards.

Thanks for posting. I was going to as well. Really drove home the point that what goes on in front of the goalie matters as much as the goalie. The Eric Comrie story was telling. Let's hope the Sabres defensive moves fix this issue.

I was offered tickets for Neil Young in two weeks in NH. Jon Anderson can still hit those high notes.

He likes it
