Jeff Skinner is done but of course he scores against Buffalo and echoes the Montour smirk.

Watching golf, will glance during commercials. Once they are down by three, I am done, again.

TP and KA agree that the next contracts for JJP and Quinn are down from 23/24 projections so they can have $10M in unused cap next year and let us dream of big moves.

I just looked at Bob’s list. The only disturbing name I saw near the top was #8 Viktor Eklund. This team has a history of picking 8th and getting 5’11” 161 lb forwards.

Mrs Howell is in my wheelhouse nowadays, she was an old bat when I watched this show.

Clifton with a grade A chance, muffins it into the crest.

Nice, good shift by Krebs. Quinn staying lukewarm.

Freezing temperatures so I am staying indoors, I guess I will watch. I will lose interest if I get a glimpse of that smirk on Montour’s face, knowing what a lousy organization the Sabres are. Come on Sabres, just f***ing entertain me.

Give him two, Mule and Cozens haven’t earned theirs.

If KA sticks around long enough he will claim that even draft picks don’t want to go to Buffalo, limiting his team building plan.

In this era it seems rare that goalies have any year after year consistency. He may regain better form next year but that doesn’t help this season and leaves a big question mark coming into October. I want Levi to be ready to challenge for #1 so that the tandem can get on some hot streaks and win some games. Ride the hot hand. The current set up is in trouble if UPL falters. UPL bounce back and Levi emergence would be nice.

There are numerous reasons that add up to creating a losing team. All of the key reasons are listed in the poll. Some play a bigger part while others compound things. I have come to the conclusion that the only common denominator for all 14 years of hell is TP. His hiring has been terrible, which sets the table for bad decisions at all levels and leads to poor performance. The available cap space has not been utilized for many years and we know who controls the purse strings. The constant losing has worn on everyone and there doesn’t seem to be any leadership showing the way with a plan and how it will work. Draft and hope is not a strategy.

Quinn’s goal was a sniper’s goal. He can still shoot. Dahlin with some nice passes.

So you’re saying there is a chance….

Good for him. Their media has pushed him as a Selke candidate since it is often a consolation prize for guys who won’t win a Hart.
