That lineup is ugly.

While I am OK certainly with moving Cousins out at this point, and on the surface at least the deal seems reasonable, my preference would have been to tie Adams’ hands and hire competent management for the Sabres to accomplish the necessary rebuild of this abortion of a team.

I get that there are injury concerns about Norris, but he has been the more productive player. Additionally, I think the Sabres were lucky to get more than a bag of pucks for Cousins at this point given his precipitous decline in production since his big breakout and his continuing lack of heart night in and night out. Maybe he becomes what he once looked like he could be but in the meantime, good riddance. Time to move on from him.

At this point, I would not want Adams to make any significant moves. That should be saved for a competent front office structure who would have free hand to blow this ***** up and start over.

“Go Bills - and take the Sabres with you” was a very popular sentiment at one time expressed in signs, bumper stickers, shirts, etc.

This team seems incapable of being embarrassed. I am sure Lindy is. The players just don’t care.

I am sensing a lack of enthusiasm here.

This whole thing is pretty childish actually. A couple of points though: 1. it’s not surprising Craig Rivet hates Pegula as he has never gotten over being fired. 2. if people got there wish and Pegula sold the team chances are about 99% that would be the end of hockey in Buffalo.

Today was the worst performance I have seen yet from this team. Just awful. There is definitely a rot in this organization.

On Hulu, the game is shown on the ESPN+ stream. If you have ESPN+ and not Hulu, that also works, but you must be authorized for ESPN+ either way. It is bundled on my Hulu package.

There is some hope that the Rangers take them lightly. That plus another evening of honest effort could well get them the win. But, Shesterkin.

I have missed Lindy, I have to say.

That you would disagree with the choice, no matter who it was, is hardly a revelation. You argument on alternate captains is the real dumbassery.

Looks like it’s going to be an interesting camp, with real competition for spots. About time.

The Sabres could have paid him if they wanted to. They clearly did not want to. I am not sure how anyone could have watched this team last year up to and beyond the trade deadline and say that bringing the band back together was going to be the right course of action. Casey had value and so was traded. I am not saying he was necessarily part of the problem, but clearly not part of the solution in their mind or they would have at least made an effort to discuss extension before trading him. As for what he is worth, like all things, he is worth what someone is willing to pay him. We will see whether last year was an aberration and high point for him or his trend.
