No way was Maroon signing with Buffalo in 2019-2010. He signs with contenders, and then gives them a boost in the playoffs when the whistles are put away and the game play fits his style.

Sorry, but this is for Members Only ...

I was in downtown Buffalo last year when the Bandits won the championship. Great crowds of happy people everywhere. I would definitely go if I was in town.

I am well aware of the role of Academics in this country. I don't blindly dismiss them and I don't look at them as hero's either. I thought the Ted Talk was good. He made some interesting points and a few that made me cringe. Lets just say I do not agree with every interpretation of the data that he makes in his 19 minute segment were he spends maybe 2 minutes on each topic. Some things are far more complex than the limited set of data he shows could explain. Politicians in the US today continue to disappoint me. Far too often you see that gaining wealth and power come before service to the people, and too many are willing to blindly support their party, and the special interests that fund them, to achieve their personal goals. National politics is a sport for the wealthiest, not the smartest.

I am down 23 pounds since January. I have been doing weight training, walking, golf, eliminating bad food, almost no sweets/deserts, and cutting way back on alcohol. I am 65, retired for 3 years, and man do I feel great. Gonna keep it going.

Some of what he says is true, and some of it is complete BS. Although his criticism on higher education is refreshing to hear, as are his comments on national debt. If only everyone could work at elite universities, look back 20 to 40+ years, and then tell people what should have been done.

This all sound like petty BS. UPL had not earned a thing up until late January' 24, and neither did Levi for that matter. None of this should impact contract negotiations unless Adams lets it. I did hear grumblings that last season some players were upset that Levi was plugged in for those late season games, and UPL was out. Is this team cliquey or what?

WTF? Why should he care about Joker getting moved? Why hopefully. Keep the better of the two.

What? This is soft and more soft. When did he get skipped over? The Sabres refused to bring in a real NHL for several seasons waiting for someone to take the job.

Taveres to Buffalo for Levi and Clifton???? How about for Tokarski and Clague?

While I enjoy the Leaves losing again, I am reminded of Terry Pegula, and the reason for the Buffalo Sabres existence.

I assume you are talking about the Sabres? I have no doubt that the Sabres qualify as the worst NHL franchise since Nov 12, 2011. What’s wrong with the fans?

Wow. Boston gets a cheeser. whoa.

come on Rat, get into the game!

So far, Adams has implemented some form of “don’t block the kids” for 3 straight years. You just said that yourself. So it is a very real thing and of course it’s lessening with each year as more of his kids get inserted. My biggerst issue with “no blocking” is the handing of goaltending were he purposely left a huge door open for Levi But it was there last year and our goaltending was sub standard until UPL emerged. The “not blocking” is a real reason why this team missed the playoff in each of the last two season. History has been recordered, annd Adam’s gets no quarter until it’s earned.

Yeah, I get that. I too shook my head at the "blockers" concept. ROR never really said he wanted out did he? Even though he probably did want out. The Sabres did stupid, and got rid of a guy that hates losing. He was just sick of losing.

No. He was out there right to the end and he set up a good attempt at a tying goal. Playing with two lifetime 3rd line grinders in Nyquist and Sissons. All are 30+. It shows in the playoffs that having grown men on the team helps. We need more. What’s wrong with Canada having teams alive? It’s their top sport.

The hatred of Toronto started the day Imlach was signed as Coach and GM, with was essentially Day 1. We kicked their Azz so many times they fled to the Norris Division, a clearly easier division at the time it was created. That still didn’t help them.

Vancouver wins the series on the road with a kid in net.

Yes, he stuck with Granato for 3 years and Adams for 5 - but were they qualified NHL talent, or low cost placeholders running a below the cap team? The club has had ZERO on ice success despite having many good players pass through. Attendance is now poor in what was once a hockey hotbed. Crowds routinely boo his on ice product. His GM told the media he did an extensive job search when he didn't, Lindy may be the right guy, but Adams hired an old friend and neighbor. There is probably less to complain about, Adams just may get this team out of the hole with the help of Ruff, but TP's reputation is well earned and won't change until there is higher performance that is both consistent and stable.

Boston does not look good.

Me too. Boston is choking this series up. That bartender in New England was right.

Pretty good. But I’ll add that Skinner and/or Krebs could be moved from that group in trades (along with prospects and picks) that bring people in. So maybe more slots are open. Savoie will get a look, but I hope Lindy will start the trend of starting in the A unless you’re special.

What is an av? A tech?

I just want the Bruin to get Toronto out. That is a priority. How many times did we see Sabres defenseman fail to block a shot and screen their goalie? At least a few. It just happened to McAvoy. Remember that when it happens to Dahlin or Power
