You're splitting hairs to benefit your tenuous argument. I'll say it again- it's like saying McKinley didn't die from a gunshot wound, but rather, he died from sepsis. Does anyone doubt the gunshot had something to do with it?

For the past few years, any time the Sabres have actually been performing well and controlling play, Sam Reinhart has been the oil that allowed the machine to function.

I know everyone has been floating this theory around that RK would become president of hockey operations, or some equivalent, but I cannot imagine the Pegulas basically supplanting themselves like that. Does/did anyone actually think there is/was any realistic chance of that? Theoretically even, before this current disaster of a season?

Not long ago, I shared your optimism

April (EDIT) I mean, May (was thinking normal season) It also may be because of what little power we assume KA has

If this is accurate, my biggest concern is that it means the Pegulas are "all-in" on RK. As pointed out, they are loathe to admit they are wrong, and RK may be their biggest blunder so far (because of the role he was supposed to play/the power he was given).

I've had this notion from the beginning that KA was hired with the understanding that he and RK would almost be "co-GM's." I have no evidence of this, it was just an assumption, based on RK's profile as a more "known" quantity, and KA's as a completely "unknown." I'm wondering if anyone has any insight/information on the dynamic of their relationship. The relevance is that, if my suspicion is anything close to true, it means KA will not let go of RK when it is necessary.

On the power play, today, I've watched the Sabres: 1. Dump the puck in and go for a change (giving possession to the Flyers) 2. Go for a change while Dahlin is carrying the puck into the offensive zone by himself, to be stripped of the puck with no support, giving possession back to the Flyers If this isn't coaching, I don't know what it is

full circle.

That's a one-liner from Annie Hall

Having no fans is benefitting the Sabres so much. Can you imagine what the "boo's" would be like at this point?

I thought he made one pretty big save. Just by virtue of the fact that he takes up more space than Hutton, I think he's a better bet.

I think it went crossbar, straight down smack on the goal line, but not in

There's our first post! And big save JJ!

I just can't w RJ 😂

Does this surprise anyone? Disgusting, but not surprising.

I've been watching all of the games, even when I've had better things to do. Does that make me a "true fan," or an idiot? With that said, if they're not competitive after the 1st period, I'm either going to compose some new music, or play Zelda.

If it actually did deflect, it's not his fault. He was definitely going the wrong way, which would either be evidence of a deflection or defective eyesight

Not a confidence-inspiring PP

To be fair, this is a different context. It could be such a multitude of personal issues. Who of us knew Lehner was battling alcoholism?

HEY WAHT CAN WE GET FOR SAM RHEINHARDT IN A TRADE

Thank you for letting me know my stream started lagging

Like Dominik Hasek?

I guess we have our new 1C?

I never use this word, but that save was absolutely ridonkulous
