The final Sabres goal in Ralph Krueger's tenure was scored by...

I'm even happier than I was on Drew Stafford Day.

He was great in Live and Let Die. He was freaking fantastic in Midnight Run.

Ok, I'm out. It's time for something else. Anything else.

Whoever. And Taro bought tickets to the Boston game and tried to get me involved. No.

Prunes, here, are what people eat when they need to take a dump.

So, I have to ask: Which is worse, watching the Sabres or being surrounded by people with New England accents?

He's pullin' his goalie...

A local restaurant makes a rabbit ragout, every autumn, that is out of this world. And there was some place in DC where I had rabbit four ways a long time ago, also excellent. There's a reason Elmer always was hunting Bugs.

This was far from a universal opinion about Lehner.

[We are talking first goal here.] He stood still in front of the net like he was posing for a hockey card. The man with the puck was on his left. He didn't move.

Did I just hear Rob Ray justifying Carter Hutton's anger at skaters for allowing the FIRST goal? FFS, Hutton was posing for a hockey card!

It's a no-brainer (B), but even the wookie is on it.

I thought I read on BBC that Belgium, like Canada, was having trouble getting vaccines. This could be bad memory, but if my memory is right, why ship them out?

Whatever

Yeah, Scott. That's me, all right.

We belonged to the same club for a while. (So did Whaley, and Quinn, and a few others.) Black was a jerk.

I don't think Boudreau would, and I think it could lead to what the kids today call "bad optics." Ellis is an interesting idea. I was kidding about Adams stepping behind the bench!

They just need the right GM (maybe it's Adams and maybe it isn't) and coach. Their time as owners have turned the Bills from a laughingstock into a respectable organization, too. Your last sentence is dead on.

I'm really disappointed in UB's effort last night. Blown out by freaking Ohio. I probably won't watch many of the games; none of my schools are in. My brother-in-law is a Houston grad, so if they make it (they should), I might watch their games.

You do not. They did not eviscerate the Sabres (or the Bills) to maintain their lifestyle. They cut a lot of other operations, though, and trimmed some fat from the sports teams. And then the Sabres signed the most expensive free agent, on a per-year basis, in team history.

Couldn't agree more. 2-3 years of a Boudreau type to turn the team around, and then hand the team to the coach who actually will win a Cup. Also, I read your name as "fishsabre" initially and was wondering what that was all about.

Michael Scott has forever ruined Powerpoint for me. And I don't read as much into that presentation vis-a-vis the Sabres as some people do, but it certainly exists. Meanwhile, they still have dumped money into this team like no owner ever had.

1. So I think the reason there isn't an interim coach isn't because Terry doesn't have the balls (or however you phrased it). It's because there isn't one to be had. 2. For the second time in a decade, I respectfully caution you to please, please be careful what you wish for. The last thing we need is a new owner who is stingy with the purse. Firing Ruff didn't change the course of the team for the better, and neither will a sale of the team.

"As president of the Buffalo Sabres, Theodore “Ted” N. Black oversaw all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the franchise, with specific focus on making the Buffalo Sabres the premier destination for NHL players and the Sabres’ current and future employees. " https://www.phideltatheta.org/famous-phis/ted-black/ "The first draft of the schedule has not yet come out, but I am looking to minimize the number of back to backs. " "As we sit here today, I would say that the team is built around a world class goalie and a core of very talented players that can and will form the nucleus of a Cup champion. Going into the off season, it seems like the Sabres, along with most other teams, are looking for more help at center, strong 2-way players and depth in defense. We are not rebuilding." https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/q-a-with-president-ted-black/c-563731 Are you mixing him up with Brandon maybe? It was Brandon who said he would be "hands-off." It's very tough for me to pick Black over Botterill, but Black's jerkiness is the deciding factor.
