  1. The place I worked at was in Buff, on Delaware and Great Arrow, and was called the Boardwalk Cafe. It was a Turgeon Brother's restaurant with a bar/disco club right next to it and under the same management. They had a real train caboose as part of dining area. We used to see Rico, Luce, DesJardins, Schoeny, Korab, Carriere, and even Gil and Rene (on occasion) among others. They brought their wives and GF's on Sunday evening. We gave them an entire section for privacy, on Sunday night we would have closed the restaurant by midnight if not for them. Good natured group that had fun, and they "wanted to be there". I do recall that Jerry Korab was a guy that stood out in a crowd. He and his wife both really dressed up sharply.
  2. I don't think UPL is consistent enough as a goalie, but I have nothing against the guy. I hear he doesn't like being called UPL? they call him Opie (ouh-pee)?
  3. Ralph Wilson was not a public figure and neither was Seymour Knox. But we at least heard from them from time to time. Terry's silence shows apathy. I don't care what he does with his football team, he owns two teams and he is responsible for both of them, not just the one that is winning. I showed you the letter that Jacobs wrote to the Bruins fans after missing he playoffs last season. The Bruins are in the thick of the playoff race once again and that team is still not very good. But they expect to win games from the top of the organization on down.
  4. McKegney, Gare and Terry Martin were bachelors and were in Mulligans on Hertel a lot. Their partying was different than what the married guys did and I will leave it at that. Bowman did not like their brand of partying.
  5. Yes, I see that can be confusing. I want to see Lyon. I prefer Lyon to the other goalies. I do not care if UPL goes to a bar on Thanksgiving Eve when he has Thursday off.
  6. In the mid and late 70's many of the Sabres went out on Sunday evening after home games, which ended at about 9:30. I was a waiter/bartender at popular Buffalo restaurant and bar and we had a kept a special section open to accommodate them and their wives (or GFs) on Sunday evening. We would see them by about 11:00 for a late snack and drinks, and we stayed open until they were done. They won a lot of games back then and they were usually in really good moods and having fun. I don't remember Punch or Scotty caring at all about it.
  7. There is nothing here. Everything he said makes sense. No finger pointing. The crew on NHL Network said he was hurt.
  8. I am not upset. Happens all the time. Hockey players are not choir boys. I want to Lyon today, not UPL, for hockey reasons.
  9. Free Lyon. ------------------------------------------------------- Edit: Unrelated to me wanting Lyon to play more frequently. Stuff from a Toronto news outlet:
  10. Yet Pegula has directed a lot of changes in 15 years. Tanks and tear downs and firings have been common. Yet, since Covid, TP has stuck with Adams. It feels like 6 years of not trying.
  11. Does today start the much needed winning streak? Who plays in net?
  12. Nice pun, sort of. Succession plan with no success.
  13. Everyone should replay this video starting just before the 7 minute mark. Adams is not a leader of men.
  14. 5 points to tie for 8th spot. They need 6 to gain the 8th spot. But, its good to see you in a hopeful and positive mood on Thanksgiving.
