You know what is sad...RJ will have spent his last decade of PbP broadcasting garbage. 😞

He didn’t dress.

...or the infamous tank pairing of Meszaros and Benoit!

Chet and Muffy will really stand out when they have an entire section to themselves. 😂

It would be embarrassing if they opened KBC up to a measly 2000 fans, and less than that showed up/bought tix...and you know what?...the Pegulas deserve to be embarrassed over and over and over again.

What idiots! A President of Hockey Ops? Who needs that kind of hire. /sarcasm off

Someone said recently that this board is more enjoyable than the game themselves. These last few posts are proof of that! 👍

I haven't been following this real close, is the NHL not revealing which players test positive, and which have may have come in contact with someone...instead lumping them both together under the "NHL Covid Protocol" umbrella?

No no no...don’t you realize the peak of the franchise cannot possibly be from 45+ years ago. Didn’t you read the posts up thread? 😂

Also from Larry Brooks(same column)... If you can point me to a more disastrous contract in the league than that of Jeff Skinner, who has one point (an assist) in 10 games this year and has recorded 24 points (14-10) in 69 games since the Sabres signed the winger to an eight-year extension worth an average annual value of $9 million per year, I am all ears.

Yes to both.

Like I said just my opinion. Kind of hard for you to criticize it when you say you weren't even "aware" of the Sabres around that time.

IMO...yes it did. I'm not sure if you were around in the mid 70's but the town was in a frenzy over the team.

I know many of you weren't around for it, but 74-75 was the peak of the franchise. It was also a great time to be a Buffalo sports fan in general with OJ, Perreault and McAdoo all in Buffalo at the same time.

Are you implying that Jack has say in to who his linemates are, or that RK's line combos get a thumbs up from him?

Article appears to be from mid-January before camp started.

No Pekar?

Any idea how many players are in training camp for them?

That entire list is disgusting except for the Dahlin pick(he was far and away the unanimous choice for 1 OA), and the Quinn pick(going to have to give it a few years, but hoping we didn't repeat history of taking the solid 2 way player, Seiling, over the gifted offensive player, Bossy). I just can't believe the blunders. You really need to do a 10 year look back and include the purchase of the team by the Pegulas. It started there, and every time you think they have hit rock bottom, up pops another gem(hiring the head of the hockey academy to be your GM because you are familiar with him). Don't forget the dismal hirings of Rolston & Housley... ...and terrible results in Rochester ...and the hideous selection of goal song.

This thread appears to be dying a slow death. Let me give it a boost... What is wrong with aggressive drivers? I am talking about the ones who have the pedal to the metal when a light turns green, drivers who have to constantly change lanes and pass cars even if the other cars are doing the speed limit, people who blow their horn if you don't go the second a light turns green, ones who blow through red lights, and most important, idiots who can't be bothered to stop at stop signs. I'm not talking about rolling stops, I am talking about people going through a stop sign at 15-20mph(or even more). What's your freaking hurry? 😡

I know two people who work for different healthcare organizations, but are office staff(one is HR and one is payroll) and not even located in the healthcare facility. Both have been vaccinated. It’s a big joke and I can only imagine how often shenanigans like this are happening. Yet here I sit in my early 60’s wondering when I will get my opportunity.

Watched parts of the Bos vs Phi game including the end. Boston doesn’t seem to be missing Krug or Chara, and their 30-somethings still playing at a high level.

...and then Hortons lost their love for good quality products and customer service. 🙂

If Covid starts reaking havoc on the number of games a team has cancelled, I really think the NHL will have no choice but to go to point percentage instead of total points. There just isn't a lot of wiggle room for a team to make up games short of them ending up with crazy 4 games in 5 night stints down the road.

I'd like to be angry about this whole thing, but instead I give it a big "who cares". Maybe the players can sneak out of town for a quick trip to the Caribbean. I only have one word to describe the franchise right now...INSIGNIFICANT!
