I will forever fall back on Terry was a Sabres fan prior to buying the team; the Sabres are also the only team he has more of a direct role in the team’s management. I also have mentioned before that I have a very legit source who told me that we interviewed Briere to be GM or Pres back prior to his job with Philly. Briere asked for the stipulations Beane and McDermott had in regards to non-interference and Terry refused. This in all likelihood also stemmed from one of the Kim Pegula vs Lafontaine debates in which the Pegulas wanted to have the Sabres visit their Nashville based record company on the night prior to the game day which descended into Kim more or less pulling the owner’s wife card and got her way. Frankly, Kim’s request here wasn’t absurd by any means to be honest but I get the sense that back and forth was frequent and often frustrating and Terry wants to have sit in and interaction rights with the team because like us, he’s a fan.

McDavid has taken quite the beating in this tournament between Dahlin sitting him and McAvoy blasting him twice this game

I'm not entirely sure what Trump is trying to accomplish honestly but that still doesn't mean Boston will give Canada any better treatment. There's also the rivalry at play too.

I'm both for it for revenge but also sad because I do love hearing both songs belted out with pride

I have a sneaking suspicion Boston will be brutal to the Canadian anthem after the booing the last 2 games.

Mitch Marner could be a possibility if he doesn’t stick with Toronto. His issue though is being another player that’s soft. But at least he’s good defensively apparently

Tuch, Zucker more or less Technically Staal and Hall were supposed to be Top 6 Forwards I don’t like counting prospects only because it falls in a different skill set than acquisitions

Mostly I agree with Fairburn here; however I do feel the Eichel (asked out) and Reinhart (1 year RFA) should be in some sort of "effective for the circumstance" Montour was more a casualty of Krueger's style than anything else. Adams tenure, thus far and hopefully not much longer, can be summed up by multiple inconsequential trades with a handful of mediocre outcomes and few that in hindsight hurt our souls. A GM that values his players more than his contemporaries and only has an elementary knowledge of team building. He definitely understands "team building" as a concept unlike Tim Murray but has limited skill to pull off his own goals much less ours. I picture the following - Pegula isn't cheap as much as frugal (give him a reason to spend money and he would, he just paid Dahlin 11.5 mil a year and Power over 8mil. The traditionally cheap owner lets players walk upon their first large contract which isn't what's happening here) - Pegula likes to be involved in the information, scouting, etc meetings when possible. (What fan wouldn't?) - Adams either lacks the confidence or skill to convince Pegula of spending to the cap on players. (Or worse, he himself doesn't feel the need to) Essentially I think Pegula has his checkbook on the table and Adams for some reason just never asks for its use or else can't give legitimate reasoning for its use. One theory in regards to staffing would be Adams used inefficiencies and wastefulness as a primary point for why Botts needed to be fired. If you tell someone 10 scouts are inefficient, I can do better with 8 upon hiring; how exactly do you then a couple years later ask for more scouts without effectively undercutting your own perceived competence?

So peel off Mackinnon to cover a guy the Forwards are supposed to cover?

Power - "I've got the Power"

Who the hell knows; maybe its like the idiotic Texans playoff game where they chose to use common sense versus the actual rules and screwed us out of a TD. It's Buffalo sports; more often than not, we will get shafted by refs or their respective leagues

Sure they did, I want legitimate proof they didn’t just assume it and take away a nice goal because it “looked” offside. Rather tired of controversy this past month

Has anyone found a good view of the offside goal? I still only have seen the picture that shows Krebs over the line but the puck is not visable

Also Thompson dove for it to try and bat it before it left the zone but missed

At least the 3rd time this year we've had a game tying goal taken away from us for some idiotic reason.

Not to mention the amount of time and Nashville having possession should automatically nullify this challenge to begin with

Screenshot please

How can you see the puck?

Benson!

Quinn seems to want to create more chaos than anything else by continued passes into Dahlin’s legs while also giving PKers ample opportunity to steal and clear or cause a SH chance

Dahlin and Byram are feeling it tonight

Are we ever going to at least get a chance on the PP

BS to call us only for a penalty

My biggest concern about Byram is that he doesn't seem to do well outside of being Dahlin's partner. Plus I have no intention to trade away Power no matter how soft he might be.

Unless we get Weegar from Calgary I have zero interest in trading him as I have no interest in trading in the division
