Wow. That was a rocket

We had a few moments but overall we are getting outplayed. We really need to shoot more. The PP was terrible in their first try.

Comrie stops their big gun.

When our bottom 6 plays it’s not good.

Pathetic power play. 1 shot, all that puck possession and no one is doing anything.

There are thousands of bars, restaurants, breweries , that will have the game on. All of them that have TVs.

Agree. The Winnipeg announcers know hockey, they update their fans on the visiting team and the local ties.

My feed is the Winnipeg broadcast.

Dam, three turnovers in our zone.

Jost good shift.

Good evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Big game. Gotta get a Dub tonight. Benson, Krebs, Comrie - all have something to play for, it’s gonna be tough tonight. Go Sabres !!! Muscle Weight.

Reminds me of a song from 1977. Live on the Midnight Special.

Too bad. The Rockpile was an experience. I didn't know it was a bad facility until I was told by the newspapers. Bills won there. Bison's of the AHL won a championship the year before the Sabres. They had a team with many future NHL players. I sent you that photo as a wake up call. It even has a new name now, AKG, that no one will use but out of town people. It has brand new sections added to it. Its blends the past and modern excellently. It is near lots of excellent restaurants too.

Common knowledge - Jordon Palmer is/was his off season QB coach and it is known that Josh has spent less time with him, especially this past off-season. Josh himself has said that Joe Burrow outworks all of them in the training sessions with Palmer, and Burrow is the most intense guy he has worked with. Because you did not know this does not mean that others that do know it are wrong, as your sarcasm implies. Dorsey was Josh's choice to replace Daboll. He likes him. You can argue that Dorsey did not hold Josh accountable in the way that Daboll did - that is the scuttle butt anyway. The numbers say Josh was much better under Daboll - maybe it was because the entire offense was better? Mostly one depends the other? Next OC selection, perhaps they should not let the players pick their coaches? McD is proving to be a below average game day coach - his use of timeouts, his game day adjustments, his decisions on challenges, his decisions on punt or go, the 13 seconds debacle, etc. McD is building a resume of questionable game day decisions that require second guessing. I do not blame McD for wanting a running game. Anything you do for too long in the NFL gets figured out. There is no crime is having a running game to augment a passing game, especially when you play in poor weather. I am not "blaming the best players", not even blaming any one thing, but when you look at the play calling versus the execution there is so much poor execution by the offense, including Allen, to say it is all bad play calling. It is on both. The Bills offense is stale. Teams know this offense and they know how to slow down Allen. Missed throws, missed blocks, dropped passes, bad turnovers, missed reads, careless penalties - they happen every week at high frequency. A change was needed - that is why Dorsey is gone. But keep in mind that Allen just threw the exact same interception, into the exact same coverage, two weeks in a row. When was the last time Allen hit a deep ball? Some of the problem is the players, and some of it is the "best players". Hopefully replacing Dorsey wakes up the players and improves things. The interim OC will be running the same system, you can't change the system during the season.

In part I think there is some merit here. His last 2 off-seasons have been less football work and more golf and celebrity hob nobbing.

Why all the negative stuff and sarcasm? The puck has not even dropped yet. We got Tuch and Benson back. Comrie is back. Sure Tage is out, but maybe Cozens or Skinner or even VO starts scoring. We are on the road were we play better. I guarantee that if we win the next 2 or 3 the tone around here changes.

Sometimes. The TNT National crew loves to talk everything but the play by play. Wayne Gretzky is a bore in between periods. Color and hockey analysis is something he is not good at. Boucher, Bisonette, Buccicross - none are very good. Bucci might be the best of that sorry lot. Bring back Doc and Panger. Panger is a big loss IMO. Translate: Sabres 4 Jets 2 Benson gets his 1st and it the GWG.

It actually begins with Tenor Joe Byron, who along with organist Norm Wullen, gave us solid and straight forward anthem singing for decades. This is an early version of Oh Canada, lots of "standing on guard" and some of todays lyrics are missing.

Adams doesn't trade them or block them so far. If he cant do the deal a big deal in the off season, imagine him trying now. He has said numerous times that teams ask for too much, which they really would at this time. He also has been thwarted by the NMC. So I think a trade just before the deadline is more likely. Lets hope we are adding at that time.

Bills, Sabres, Yankees (AL), Cardinals (NL) ... basketball - with Braves I lost touch of the NBA - I catch a little college hoops here and there. If my teams are not playing then I watch it for enjoyment and to see the best players do their thing. I don't really hate teams - Ok, I admit hate the Pats*, the Dolphins, and the Leaves.

We have a few very young hot shots in Kulich and Rosen. We have a few possibilities down the road with some rawer players in Rochester. We have tried Murray, he is a big guy, steady but he looks slow in the NHL. Biro and Rousek have had looks.

If a professional sporting event is a corporate event then no. Part of our culture is, or perhaps was, being patriotic and taking a moment to be thankful for what we have when in a large assembly. I would miss it. I just don't see any problem with it.
