On the bench where he spends most of the game compared to Buffalo where he played an average of 18 minutes. If you didn't know the bench is where players sit while not on the ice.. that's not on me. You clearly weren't aware that he gave away the puck to Boston while he was on the ice.. He had next to nothing to do with the goal besides screwing up and be bailed by an amazing play from Barkov. It seems like you still haven't actually watched it.

Goalposts are heavy. Put them down. Stop lying as well. It's not a good look.

I think you're looking up a horse's arse.

I feel like this is misleading. The Sabres $8.48M in cap space is the 3rd most in the league and they are also projected to have the 3rd most. The only teams with more space are the Blackhawks and the Ducks.

Those goalposts are heavy. I'd also appreciate you not making stuff up. I never said he wasn't on the ice. You completely made that up. I never said he wasn't active. You completely made that up. He's on the bench most of the time like he should have been in Buffalo. He plays a role in Florida where he gets ~10 minutes of ice time. He is a broken down vet that doesn't add much. So just admit you didn't know he lost the puck to Boston and it was recovered by Barkov who then single-handedly went up the ice through 3 opposing players to score.

You may have wanted to watch the goal. I'm not sure how integral Okposo losing the puck to Boston was to Barkov taking it back then skating through 3 guys to score.

I'm glad to hear that KO is happy where he is now... ...the bench. Where he should have been when employed by the Sabres.

It's got a ways to go to get to underwhelming.

I'd let him coach the power play for Lindy. 😉

Well, you do have to make the playoffs to disappoint in them.

This seems more like confirmation bias than anything. Both things have reasonable explanations.. The Knighthawks due to him owning another NLL team (and I believe the NLL telling him he has to sell one of the teams eventually). The Bills due to the NFL allowing private equity ownership. You're going to see stories of every team in the league selling off some portion of ownership because the price paid will be very high and with the stadium coming in, it makes sense that Pegula is one of the first to move on it.

The earlier the better so that they can get in touch and figure out what they want to do.. waiting until Friday afternoon or late in the day makes it harder for them to communicate. Never wait. It's a crummy thing to do.

..and the annual Leafs fan meltdown is always amusing too. I'm really enjoying the narrative that refs called penalties in their favor at the wrong times and ruined momentum they have going over on HF right no.

My Reaction:

I guess there's a possibility that they might want to go somewhere else because a coach with a top powerplay and in the playoffs probably isn't going anywhere so going elsewhere and having a good powerplay again would write their ticket. Even if that were the case, I don't see Ruff making that sort of hire though.

Now get Drury and Briere to end the curse.

I'd say it's much more likely that it's due to the NFL allowing private equity to own stakes in teams which will drive up the purchase price of teams.

That and they'd get 25% of the sale. If you haven't been following, the cost to buy a team has been rising by a lot year over year.

You can be "right" or you can be realistic. The idea that professional athletes shouldn't need someone to motivate them is an emotional argument made from a fictitious moral high ground. I've found that most people when put under a microscope don't like what they see about their ability to 'self motivate' to do the things they're supposed to do.

..or his neck.. 😁

ok? Not sure of the point here. Should we just not discuss candidates or traits we think are relevant/irrelevant because the Sabres suck at finding the right coaches?

Dan Blysma had experience too. Hiring just for the sake of 'experience' as the only qualifier isn't a great idea. It has to be the right guy.

f*ck, Kevyn, don't you have anything better to do?

This team from the very top to the bottom wilts under the slightest pressure. Get behind by a few goals and the pressure is off.. once you're behind by 3.. you're not expected to win anymore.

I'm ill informed on the topic so hopefully someone can enlighten me, but outside of Vegas.. have expansion teams been successful?
