I believe the Brian McCutcheon who was on the team, is the same person who coached under Lindy. Too bad during his time here, that a story was never written about his time in Europe. Also on the team, Nelson Pyatt, father of Taylor Pyatt. Team roster w/stats… https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0011211974.html

Great article from January that I stumbled across earlier. https://theathletic.com/2325623/2021/01/29/buses-brawls-and-babies-when-the-barnstorming-london-lions-took-slap-shot-to-europe/

As a huge fan of the movie, thanks for bringing this out if storage. Fantastic!

Merry Christmas to all. Safe travels during the holiday season.

Why would the Sabres not let JJP play in the WJC…unless they left the decision up to him and he said no? Enquiring minds want to know?

Some days I want the Pegula’s to sell the Sabres ASAP. Other days, I worry about what might be behind Curtain #2.

Covid sucks. Cancer sucks. 😡

Happy Festivus! Airing of grievances?You are in the right place. 😂

😞😞😞

Assuming there are games played. 🤞

I lost my Dad a year ago last month to Covid. I really wish he had the chance to get the vaccine. 😢

WNY’er, Andrew Poturalski, who has been toiling in the AHL for 6 years, gets a chance because of Covid, and picked up points in the last two Canes games. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=144489

I haven’t seen any of UPL’s games as a Sabre this year. You know what this means? As soon as I tune in, he will $hit the bed.

Their goaltending and team defense appears to be fine. It is the complete lack of offense that is sinking them, game after game.

Holy Cow! 10 goals against in 40 minutes. Mr Robson here is your one way ticket to Cincinnati. May your name never be mentioned again here.

That makes a lot of sense and would make me happy….which probably means Mr. & Mrs. Moneybags will never do it.

That is too bad. The kid was off to a red hot start.

So that should make me feel better about the Bills getting smoked in the 1st half?

The Bills played a terrible 1st half of football and it became too big of an obstacle to overcome. I don’t care who they are playing. The Bills are a team that has SB aspirations, and they came out unprepared. That is on McD and the players.

😞😞😞

I disagree. Because of outrageous box office dynamic pricing, even if they brought in an experienced NHL backup now, it wouldn't even move the needle in terms of attendance. They are an entire season of "show me winning hockey" before the fans come back in droves.

…and Foligno. Maybe my 2nd favorite player all-time after Perreault.

This has been a bottom 5 team from the outset. The 5-1-1 start was fools gold.

Not sure I agree with Granato playing a wide open style, in order to better their draft chances. You really don’t believe that is what Adams is telling him? Also, isn’t it a possibility that the kids develop bad habits defensively that then become tough to break going forward? I guess at this point it is wait and see, since my crystal ball won’t tell me if he will still be the coach in a couple of seasons, or how all these kids and prospects will look at that point.
