Doohickie

Hey, just checking in. I'm doing an unexpected toilet install. I notice the Lafferty scored so here ya go. 10 to 1 shots on goal for Buffalo? Dahell??

A hockey team goes to see the doctor. Hockey team: We're in a slump and we're depressed Doctor: Treatment is simple. The Ottawa Senators are in town. Go and beat the pants off them, that should cheer you up Hockey team: [sobbing] But doctor, we are the Ottawa Senators

The Sabres buried their chances for a change.

I swear the Sens are just not a very good team.

Chabot pulls a Power....

Good to see Kozak out there.

Oops...

Quinn all over the scoresheet tonight, innit?

I looked and didn't see it posted, but per Lance on BlueSky: Lance Lysowski ‪@llysowski.bsky.social‬ Sabres are going 11-7 in Ottawa: Zucker-Cozens-Thompson Peterka-McLeod-Tuch Benson-Krebs-Quinn Lafferty-Kozak Dahlin-Byram Power-Clifton Bryson-Jokiharju Gilbert UPL in goal

Half an inch of slush. We will rebuild.

I wish. I was just saying to my son: Today is the very definition of wintry mix. Switching from rain to snow every few minutes, temp varying between 32 and 33 degrees. North of us is getting real snow, we're just getting this crap.

Well since we're having Snowmageddon in north Texas today and I'm not going anywhere, might as well watch, I guess.

Like, wow.

Terry is definitely not the right decider. I'm agnostic on Kevyn. I'm not sure he's the one. I think his tenure has been a mixed bag: Some good, some bad. I'm not sure all the bad can be blamed on him. How did Tage go from 47 goals in a season to meh? Is that on Kevyn? I mean, you know, stuff like that.

True, but at least he's got a nominal "hockey guy" in the room. Jones thinks he's an actual "football guy." And I'm not sure how much of Kevyn's tenure is Pegula's meddling versus Kevyn's "plan" and sticking to it.

To carry the football analogy further.... Terry Pegula : Buffalo Sabres :: Jerry Jones : Dallas Cowboys. Neither team will get anywhere under current ownership (although I think the Sabres have at least a chance because Terry isn't actually the GM).

fer sure?

Good. I like the dude. And unlike other prospects, he's had a couple of seasons in the A for development.

fify

The Sabres are one 13-game losing streak out of a playoff spot. That's all.
