Weird stuff alert…
At the 11min 45sec mark in the postgame show, Paul Hamilton (not on this road trip) says when the tv cameras focused on Sabs bench, that to him at least, it appears Seth Appert is actually coaching the team, with Lindy standing behind him…these last 2 games.

It's been like that a lot this season. I think for a lot of games it's been Lindy as "executive" coach and Appert as "operations" coach.

It’s ridiculous to have these guys fly all the way to the west coast just for one game. They could have given Kuntar another game then make the move when they get home.
But if Tuch is good to go, the Sabres are probably better off shipping Kuntar back.
I think he may have an NHL future, but nothing more than a bottom 6 guy.

I don't think that you have to comply to meet both terms. I was in the same situation where my mileage service point didn't come close to the designated date. Some people do a lot of driving while some don't. It's very likely that the mileage level is the overriding requirement.
Right. And people who don't do a lot of driving still have to change there oil per the calendar cycle. Otherwise, why specify it?

I watched The Hockey Guy's (members only) video where he comments on the trade. He lives in Canucks territory and they're his #1 rooting interest. He basically sounds like Sabrespace in the aftermath of the Eichel trade. He even called the Canucks the worst run team in the history of the NHL. He's pretty despondent.
We all know how he feels.

After the dealership I took my dog to the vet because she has a lump on her leg. The vet took a needle biopsy and had bad news, said it's likely an aggressive cancer. They sent the samples to a lab for confirmation. He said if they can get the entire tumor removed from her leg and don't miss any, she may have a full recovery, but it sounded like a pretty big IF to me.

The Buffalo Sabres have been holding internal discussions about replacing general manager Kevyn Adams, three NHL sources have told The Athletic.
Adams has been Buffalo’s general manager for the last five and a half years. He’s currently with the team in Seattle, where the Sabres will finish a six-game road trip with a game against the Kraken on Sunday night. The team is due to arrive back in Buffalo on Monday morning. No final decision is expected until the Sabres return home, two of the sources said.
From Tim Graham and Matthew Fairburn in the Athletic
I would love it if they fired him while he was on a road trip and left him stranded, a la the Panthers and Gallant. I want to see the pics of Kevyn loading his bags into a waiting Uber.

Adams hired Jarmo, and he has a prior relationship with him. Why would KA hire his own replacement unless there was a plan for Adams to move into another role? I think both of these things will happen but have no clue what Adams role will be. I just cannot see Pegula firing him.
Shades of LaFontaine and XGMTM. Not exactly the same by any means but I could see TPegs looking for someone to be the fall guy in this mess.

So far losses to Buffalo have resulted in player only meetings, starting goalies and all star defenseman getting traded. I see a pattern.
Don't forget the coach firings. I think a couple years ago they were all the rage.

Mine has never had the “whichever comes first” clause on it.
It's understood that you have to meet the terms of both, not just one. "Whichever comes first" is implied. Good luck if you have a warranty claim.

I had that with mine a couple years back too. I wasn’t even remotely close the mileage for the fist oil change, so I got to ignore those messages fo a while.
To maintain my warranty I have to change the oil every six months or six thousand miles, whichever comes first. I'm not up to six thousand miles yet but I've had the car six months. And like I said the appointment was already set up.

The Canucks have one talent: Hustle. Beyond that, they're not very good. In the first period they threw everything they could at the Sabres and the Canucks were fortunate to get out of the period tied.
As the second period wore on, the Sabres seemed to adjust the constant pressure and learned to counter it, scoring two goals to go ahead.
In the third they stopped trying to score which was a mistake. My frustration wasn't focused so much on how much play was in the Sabres end; it was more that the Sabres weren't playing in Vancouver's end. They were content to get it out of the zone and regroup instead of counterstriking. They were also lazy at times even clearing it out of their own end. I thought it was a big mistake but in the end, they got away with it. That kind of prevent defense/Alamo mode of play is just playing with fire. You just know the other team will score eventually. But the Canucks aren't the Oilers; they just don't have the same level of scoring talent.

move Timmins down
Timmins does a lot of good things; plays a good, physical game. But the gaffs cancel out all the good he does.

I love stupid messages from car dealerships trying to trick you into trading in your car. This one says “it’s wonderful that your car has been paid off”. It then goes on to say with a trade in I could lower my payments by up to $23. So since I currently have no payment, does that mean they’ll pay me monthly to get a new car? Lowering my $0 monthly payment is very impressive.
I just did my car's first service today, basically an oil change and inspection. They set the appointment up when I bought the car in June. Over the last couple weeks I received three "courtesy call" reminders about the appointment. The second one said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I note that in our records." The third one said the same. And when she did I responded, "That what the last girl said." I might actually respond to the survey (I usually blow those off) just to roast them about all the reminders.

Is that the restaurant that is now La Belle Sicilia on Genesee St. in Cheektowaga?
I still go there on a periodic road trip basis as the food is still excellent for the price..
No, Bella Sicilia was there before Roma's even existed. Roma's Restaurant was in the building that is now 33 Speakeasy at 3455 Genesee in Cheektowaga. My parents lived a few blocks south of there.

Remarkably, Sabres didn’t give the game away in the final few minutes.
That's more an indictment of the Canucks than a credit to the Sabres.

what a terrible win
I can see why the Canucks are so bad. They pressure, pressure, pressure but once they disrupt they don't know what to do with it.

Yes. Two of 'em, in fact.
