Let's not forget we sent them a 6th round pick and Carrier to protect Ulmark. In hindsight they should have let Vegas take Linus which would have forced us to address goaltending years ago.

Carrier was useless so I don't really care

Borgen is meh in Seattle so right idea not to do anything there either

[Zamboni]

Damn Hulu ESPN+ crap again 😡

I pay enough for friggin spectrum. i’m not paying even more for other streaming services on top of that. money sucking bastards.

It’s hard to get the naysayers to buy into this.  Either you have this in you or you don’t.  I can’t blame fans being at their wits end. It’s been a long miserable decade or so.  
 

I’m choosing to buy in.  The likes of Tuch, Krebs, Dahlin, Samuelsson, Cozens, Quinn, Peterka, Power, Johnson, Portillo, Levi and hopefully Mitts, Olofsson, and all that draft capital are the foundation of this team for a decade. 

Et tu, inky?

 

 

Hell I'm in.  Pass the Hopium bong.

The nhl requiring you to have 3 services to watch games is stupid

[Norcal]

Bucci is in the studio so atleast he won't be announcing this game.

Unless he's flying in later?

Me too.  Love watching this kid play.  Pretty sure he’d be able to upgrade from Bjork in the top 9 

And JJ's been killing penalties in Rochester now too.  Complete player.

Need help… Signed up for free trial with Hulu to watch the game tonight… but don’t see it as an offering… Saw NHL as a channel to browse, but it doesn’t show any games… Anybody know use Hulu??

Makes one wonder about all the angst about losing Borgen.

Signed up at ESPN+ $6.99… Cheap price for equivalent of center ice seat… 25 rows up 😎

[Brawndo]

 

This would be fun 

 

 

[DarthEbriate]

Huh. They assigned JJP, Murray, Ruotsalainen, and Biro (and Laaksonen and Prow) to the taxi squad...  but elect to play Pysyk at center vs on D?

May the Force be with us.

(And I do like the idea of keeping the FitzMuel together.)

You may need the bundle w espn+ and Disney+? Both ESPN+ and Hulu should have them on the home page then.

Opposite problem for me. I recently dropped (money sucking) spectrum TV and went to Hulu LIve with ESPN+ package because I thought most of the games would be shown there, only to find they're blacked out locally.  First game I'll get to see in a few weeks.

Isn't there a team in the ushl that doesn't play positions? Power played for them I believe and played some C and F. They essentially just rotate around the ice during play.

It was in one of his many interviews where he talked about it.

Hulu was clunky, didn’t show the game on the home page, so using espn+… Ready to rumble!!… Go Sabres!!

How do you do that when so many people have sworn off the Sabres?

I think the timing is right for ownership to make changes to dawn the new era. I don't think they will, they just assume it'll all be fine when they start winning (and it probably will be) but lessons could be learned from Vegas and Carolina. Make the place fun. More stuff for kids, families. More side entertainment. You throw a few bucks at it and you can make it an entertainment event, not just a hockey game.

It was almost more about what he represented than who he actually was.

[Norcal]

Wow. Orlov scores his second of the game in OT beating Crosby to the middle of the ice and burying a wrister over the blocker of Jarry. Washington wins.

I have hopes this is part of the plan, just not yet. Reinvestment is coming after the year of austerity has passed.

That stuff falls flat in an empty arena.

That's true. There has to be a feeling of optimism and a solid progression. I'm hoping (as I'm sure everyone else here is) that this is the moment and next season we start rising and rising quickly. The timing is right. 

[Brawndo]

Oops 

[Bangarang]

That didn’t take long
