Sabres Fan in NS

I have loved the Sabres since the beginning. Through thick and thin. Even the wasted years - I agree with @Weave. Honestly, I have been to a few Bills games when they stank - my uncle had seasons for business years ago, but I am a fair weather fan of the Bills. I am a fan of the Bills, but not the NFL. I am a futbal fan and have a few sides that I follow .. not either from Manchester, nor Munich, nor London - Arsenal or Chelsea .........

Yes.

Why is this a debate? Not casting stones. The 3 most important positions on any NHL team are (in no particular order) .. 1) a stud #1 D - check (and double checked with Power) 2) a stud #1 C - check (and soon to be double checked with Cozens) 3) a stud #1 G - hoping for Levi to check this box Toss in an emerging shut down D in Mule and a number of other key pieces and the Sabres are on the cusp (hey @PASabreFan) of something. The prices of contracts are what they are. One could make the arguement that Dahlin has given the Sabres a home team discount. He probably would have gotten $12M on the open market. We are spoiled with the 3 recent big contracts. If I were KA I would sign Power to 8 years at $8.5M as soon as possible, if not sooner.

100+ points and a Hart finalist.

30G / 50A maybe more, if he plays the whole season. PPG+

He will be the top D in the NHL. Even the NHL will not be able to deny it and he will win the Norris.

By the end of this coming season Power will be a top pair level D on any team in the NHL. He will be the Sabres #2 D and play #3 - top of the 2nd pairing for the next 10+ years.

I miss @X. Benedict. I know he stopped by to pay his respects to Rick. I hope he comes by more often. Times have changed since his departure.

You are a terrible, terrible man. 😉😘

He and Robi ..

Who ??

March 30th will be the national game on HNIC ..

Looks like we have made the big time.

Where did I say he was not a fan. My point was he had to know that the Sabres wer for sale back then, but he could not buy them since he did nto have the $. Your reasons are also perfectly valid and part of the reaason he did not buy the team until he did.

It also can be reasonably stated that he was describing the Sabres for the 10+ years leading up to the last 2.

Mr Pegula could not have purchased the Sabres back then. He did not have his $ at the time. That is the better and more accurate answer than not knowing it was available for sale. The NHL friggin' was publicly running the team at the time.

@SDS may not have any say in this. It's something that is likely not high on his priority list. I think that it's more plain for all to see that @Doohickie is really into Wonder Woman and her surely to be banned outfit. I thank him for that.

Danny Gallivan was the Montreal voice on HNIC. Bob Cole did all the rest and the playoff (except for Montreal). Both are / were fantastic.

Google translate is rarely your friend, especially if you do not have a reasonable understanding of the language you are translating. Feu directly translates as fire, except when used in a French Canadien obit ... you are both correct in this case they are referring to a deceased (and not married) child. RIP, Ms Caron. May Gilbert and his family find peace.

Who ??

The circular rocket thingie shows your ranking in terms of number of posts. You have one too. We all do. You are a 'Hall of Famer'.

And ...

He deserves thanks for his part in the scheme to provide high speed internet to the hinterland masses. Actually, my service, which is about 30 to 45 minutes from Atlantic Canada's largest city (500,000) is not that great. Cell service is even worse.

Thank you for your service.

Why not? He won't hurt the team. When he is healed and ready to go sign him for the remainder of the year. If it goes well sign him for another year. Then he can retire or whatever.
