My man. Be around more.. please.

Well.. Sr. Advisor is like being retired but he gets paid. Could be a consultant type position. We just want your opinion from time to time, here's your retainer.

100% this. I'll care more when they show they care more. Maybe. In the end its supposed to be entertainment and I am anything but entertained watching them.

Saleh has to be happy about this. It has to be infuriating working for that franchise. Not that I follow football much or know if he's really a capable coach, but I know the Jets seem to always do some stupid stuff with their personnel.

POHO? Sr. Advisor? Either way, it's all shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.

My one team member (former employee) lives in St. Pete. Not even done cleaning up from Helene and just spent the past few days securing everything and is evacuating today. This angle of this storm is a bit unusual as it appears to be going across Florida rather than up the coast. That will make for some serious storm surge. I was down there when the F named storm (cat 1) went up the coast in early August. That was plenty bad. I really hope things fare better than it seems they might.

Wonderful. Now Adams has no decent goaltender after those 2. So if there is an injury (which is quite common) then the Sabres goaltending depth falls off a cliff. So it's still Adams' fault. There's no world where the lack of goaltending depth is not the fault of the GM. Not that it really matters because unless the team plays better no goaltender is saving this season. Also Adams fault. My understanding is that Levi was eligible to be called up and sent down without having to pass through waivers. I could be wrong. I agree Levi is better than Reimer, but the depth issue is the concern. I suppose they can go get another goalie as needed. And let us know how that winning goes if UPL or Levi goes down with an injury and the next goalie up hasn't proven they can make saves in the NHL.

You can't? He could have kept Reimer on the roster and sent down Levi who was waiver exempt right?

I would have thought it was Constantinople if not for They Might Be Giants. They definitely get less garlicky if you transport them that way. I read it on reddit and not from first hand experience.

The rich don't apologize for anything. If they moved out of town I could at least watch them on ESPN+ and save a crapload of money. What's the bonus of being in Buffalo? The arena? Barf. I was born in Buffalo and while I moved away I will always want it to be successful, but a franchise does not a city make. And the Sabres are the laughing stock of the NHL. The only team in the entire NHL giving the Sabres a run for their money was Arizona, but that debacle has ended. I don't want the team to move, but I want the team to stop being the punch line of an SNL skit... assuming SNL was aware of hockey. So I guess think of it as the Canadian equivalent of SNL.. whatever that is these days.

I give credit to those who cared enough to watch that misery. I tapped out. I'm not a monster football guy anyway but the team looks lost. Imagine.

You missed an Ivan there. There's three of them. 🙂

I don't even want to try and put these in order Turdburger ROR trade Everything about Jack Eichel Ralph Krueger Phil Housley Pat LaFontaine Tank Tank Tank "Starting today, the Buffalo Sabres' reason for existence, will be to win a Stanley Cup." The list goes on and on and on...

At some point players want to be in Buffalo because they aren't good enough to be on any other team.

Tuch? The guy who is the embodiment of the problem? No. The sooner he's gone the happier I will be. I don't care that he likes to go to Bills games or grew up next to Tim Connolly. I'd say he's checked out but he doesn't check, so I can't even give him that.

I don't care who buys it or if the team moves. This team is an insult to the city of Buffalo because of the owner. People laugh about Buffalo because they equate the Sabres to the city. Who wants that? Get it over with already.

Skipped most of the GDT as I suspect it reads a lot like yesterdays. The most entertaining part of that game is watching Sabretooth on the glass when Tuch and Dillon dance. If you have not noticed it, go find it. I think we're all right there with 'Tooth. No surprise Tuch didn't hit Dillon, he can't hit the net, he can't hit a player with a check (thanks for the drive-by on Casey's goal) so it's no surprise he won't hit another play with his hands. He's the embodiment of the problem right now and he was last year. He's 6'4 who playes like 5.9.. where as Benson is 5'9 and plays like he's 6'4. The team is a joke, still. The Devils are roasting the team on socials and I sure as hell hope the team gets their ***** booed off the ice next Thursday if the turn in another divine effort like they did in Prague. The owner is a joke, he needs to go.

Woot. Missed most of the game in meetings. I know most people will say I was lucky and didn't miss anything. Meh. I didn't GAF before the game and I still don't. Allowing this franchise to impact one's quality of life is letting Terry Pegula win. Not a chance I am giving him that satisfaction.

Was in a meeting the whole first period. About to go into my next one. But checking in and reading the forums between (the game is on in the background). I guess the forum is more:

There's gotta be some kind of AI bot for Invision that can do this for us right?

In what time zone? The one the poster is in? The time zone the game is in? Eastern Time because that's the Sabres home time zone? This is why time zones suck.

I always drink something good to kick off the season but sadly today I will be in meetings when it starts and have to be on camera, so that won't work. I also have to go to a high school volleyball match this evening, so drinking is not the best idea either. So... since I am starting this season with a change perhaps that's an omen? yeah, I am going with that. I imagine that after today people here will be either: OR Let's hope for a lot of this from the Sabres

Tough call. I don't think I would pay any goalie that amount. From 2006-2019 the highest paid goalie that won the Stanley Cup was Braden Holtby, 2019 at $6.1M. From 2020-2024 you had Vasilevsky win twice making $9.5M and Bobrovsky win in 2024 making $10M. I don't know that I would attribute those teams winning to the goaltending superiority, but it does support a team winning the Cup with a goalie making a high percentage contract relative to the cap. Those teams also had very skilled skating line-ups as well. I don't think the Sabres are there and I think their money is best spent elsewhere.

And no longer on the precipice... I cannot stand how anyone can talk about war and then talk about the "rules". If people are crazy enough to engage in these massively destructive actions it's hard to believe they are going to care too much about "rules". It's disgusting... I sincerely hope we don't see more escalation.

I wouldn't blame the telecom industry. It's a content holder and rights holder issue. They are the ones who determine who and where a broadcast can be viewed. Sorry if some of this was covered already, but I am also watching CNN right now hoping we don't end up in a larger world war soon. Viewing Sabres Games: MSG Games Cable - if local Fubo - anywhere DirecTV Satellite and Stream - anywhere TNT Games Cable DirecTV YouTubeTV Sling NHL Network Pretty much all services with some level of additional subscription. ESPN+ is fine if you are out of market and the game is not on NHLN or TNT or any other national broadcast the NHL dreams up. MSG+ is clearly an option. Good luck with it! The only two sources I am aware of where you can get ALL the games is cable and DirecTV. Everywhere else you are going to miss some games.
