Broken Ankles

I want them to win, but it might not make a difference. They might try and still finish bottom 3/4. Schedule is brutal.

You speak German? Your not convincing me that your not ‘AI’ Brawndo.

Live look at UPL He’s the Gazelle. The cheetah is the Flyers shot.

Ray says they are in good spot going into the third….checks notes, Sabres third least behind SJS and Blackhawks in third period comebacks. You’re down Razor.

Quinn 👊 🇨🇦 🔥

Paging Dr. Promo. Dr Promo to the operating room.

Bernard-Docker - getting the gloves up to close the first. Little things. Playing for a job. Maybe the trade is a wake up call for him and the effort grows each day.

Seems like he misses the net way too much right. Love to see a stat that shows %of attempts are on goal and another that measures percentage of goals against the attempts. When you look at Tuch he has 17% shot percentage but the denominator is shots on goal. How many like this break away never get counted as a shot on goal b/c it’s wide.

On the first goal, don’t you have to recognize the man with the puck is a sniper? Maybe the better option is to challenge him and take a chance with UPL?

#23 not skating hard at all

Agree on both accounts. My parents' anecdotal data suggest that Trader Joe's (I guess a lot of Canadians love this store and make the trek over to shop there) and the Niagara Falls outlet stores are seeing a lot less traffic from North of the border. Not isolated to a Leaf/Sens game, what is the average attendance to a home game in Buffalo by Canadian citizens? Ball-park - 2,000? And what could this slip to in the fall if things progress the way they are now? I've seen stats that suggest YTD estimates for Buffalo Oct-Dec 2024 were 15,772, and December had some awful individual games in the 13/14K range during/after the streak when many were focused on the Bills. If Adams is brought back, coupled with Geopolitics/border issues, the attendance call fall below 14,500..

Live look at promo in his defense of UPL. It’s titled, “One against many”.

My observation had nothing but good intent. Every cause needs a voice.

Is there any score that could result in the immediate termination of Adams? How about 9-0? I want Thoner to see a Win but feel for the long term benefit to the city and the organ-I-zation, a loss would be more prudent. Malevolent Larceny

A+ for use of shambolic. I guessed the origins (shambles and symbolic) but admit I had to it up. You are quickly jumping the ranks of those excoriating our beloved owner. I’d say you are to TPegs as MJD was to Cozens. It worked for him. Keep up the fight.

Adams crashes the dressing room for his motivational speech….

He's nothing more than a JAG. So I "rewrote" a song just for him - to the tune of Just another Day by Oingo Boing. For you Gen Y and Z I added the youtube video so you can follow along. ------------------------------------------------------------- There fans being clowned I feel it all around, I feel it in my bones, My life is in decline. We lost away from home. When he sits on the bench, The arena is alive... I do not trust my coaches, I can’t believe this Blue-line. I will not check a bod, I cannot risk the bet, Cause hearts are fragile toys, So easy to forget. He’s just another guy, There's ‘basic’ in the air... He drags it when he skates, I smell it everywhere. He’s just another guy, Where people cling to light, To drive away the wins, That comes with every night... He’s just another…He’s just another guy. He’s just another guy-He’s just another guy. He’s just another ... He’s just another guy. He’s just another guy-He’s just another guy. He’s just another guy… When players wake from dreams, With coaches in their ears, That will not go away... I had a dream last night, I even scored a goal. And everywhere I went, There wasn't any sneers... The temperature decreased, The ice was muted blue, The fans turned into fire, We never have a clue. But there's a smile on my face, For TPegs and Kev... There's a golden coin, That I didn’t deserve... There's a lonely place, That's always cold... There's a place in the League, For when you get old. Oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... He’s just another guy... He’s just another guy... He’s just another He’s just another guy... Oh... There's ‘Razor’ in my head, He comes out late at night. He always disappears, Before the morning light! I'm dreaming again, Of last night's boozehound... It never gets old, It’s extremely profound. And just when I think There’s a boost in the fan base, The heavens are secure, The whole thing explodes, in my face! He’s just another…He’s just another guy. He’s just another guy- he’s just another guy. He’s just another... He’s just another guy. He’s just another guy- he’s just another guy.

Mormon Wristshot.

In terms of 5v5, his line was close to the Greenway/Tage/Tuch line and 3 more minutes than The 4th line. Beck/Kozak/Lafferty brought their big boy pants last night and deserved more time. Maybe the special teams affected the distribution of 5/5 time. And while the Murray/Krebs/Quinn line had a decent Cosi (all lines did), their expected goals for/against were by far the lowest. And they were on ice for one of the two goals against. You have to impress the coach when you get the call up. It’s just not there.

So true. My number one observation was that Zucker, while not on the scoresheet was a beast. Zadorov and few other Bruins tried to impose their will, yet it was Greenway and Zucker who punished their forwards all game. Something the youth on this team can’t do. My other observation was Murray was invisible. In a game where you had an opportunity against a younger rebuilding team, you were a no-show? Send him down.

Is there an insider here who has visibility to the renewal data and if Exec management within the Sabres have established goals as it relates to renewals as a percent? I have to believe with the general unhappiness about the owner/GM/organization coupled with the uncertainty of the CAD, overall ST renewals are not reaching internal metrics. And there has to be a melting point at which Pegula can’t deny what the “paying fans” think and he pivots away from Adams.

Yeah, organic growth is required for a team to jump from #8/9 to leading the conference. But I would restate my original point about the adds from trade and UFA. 277 points of their total ~620 came from the acquisitions from last two years. That’s 45% of total points. And PLD and Strome are #1 &2 respectively. Conversely what have Adams acquisitions done? McLeod, Zucker, Beck, Clifton, Byrum are good for 131. And most give Adams credit for Zucker and McLeod, but they are 5/6. And Logan Thompson is second to Helle in goals saved above expected. Again, for the pittance spent, an amazing ROI. Not to mention a GM gets some credit for their drafting.
