Reimer.

Damn. Power badly out of position. Sheesh.

Bowling night. Followed the game on the Sabres site. Was 2-2 when I saw last. What a pleasant surprise to get home and see we won in OT on a PPG, no less. Damn shame Adams and Ruff couldn’t have done something to cut the 13 game losing streak down to a few games. Management leadership has been an issue all season. Great to see the team not quit on themselves. Will be plenty of time for regrets as they all watch the playoffs from afar again. Keep working, boys! Finish strong.

Better get Samuelson on board.

Outstanding win!! Played hard all game. Came back twice. Tied it with seconds left to force OT Play a great OT to force a shootout. Quinn! Boom! Tuch! Boom! UPL plays big! Sabres win!!!

Good OT.

Dahlin takes the game winner away from Eichel. Bravo, Rasmus

Dahlin! Boom!!!

Look at Appert. Red in the face with intensity.

Don’t let Eichel get the game winner. Get it back.

Boom. Zucker!

Adams is a weak leader. Unfit for the challenge existing at the Sabres. Nothing changes until he leaves.

Aye.

Benson. Boom!

Ruff what were you thinking.

Damn. Goaltender interference? Doubtful. Dumb challenge.

Bowling league. Missed the game. Delighted to see the win. Start a streak.

It’s a small club of 32. All are billionaires. Based on public information, Pegula is worth an estimated $6.7B ranking behind the owners of the Winnipeg Jets, LA Kings, Anaheim Ducks, Colorado Avalanche, San Jose Sharks, and NJ Devils at least. In any group there is a pecking order. So, on a net worth basis Pegula is around the top owners. He must get some ribbing from them about his team’s miserable record over soon 14 playoff-less seasons. Question is when does it turn to pressure to act or sell?

Think only Tuch and perhaps Thompson are natural born leaders. Dahlin is a terrific D Man who leads by his hardworking example. A change in the C would do the team and Dahlin some good, imo.

See no point in sticking around to hear Tuch and Samuelson postgame interviews. Goodnight all.

UPL gets no help.

Helluva save UPL

Damn. UPL didn’t see it until it went by him.

Just another potential benefit of signing a big nasty grown ass RHD to complement Dahlin and protect our Captain. Perhaps all Power needs is to be mentored by a D Man he can look up to and learn the NHL physical game from. Was just getting to know Gilbert. Get on it, Adams.

Adams doesn’t own the soon-to-be 14 yr playoff drought. Pegula does. Adams only owns 5 seasons worth. No one likes to kick a guy when he’s down. Still, his press conference did not project the kind of leadership this team needs today, imo. Nice Guy. Cares deeply. Words don’t match behavior. His body language is defeatist. 13 game losing streak. No moves. No consequences. No explanation, really. Listening to him, he sounds like combination Country Club President and a HS Principal at a failing school. Shocked he hasn’t been replaced yet. It’s a business after all.
