Well I wasnt under the impression honestly that people were leaving messages with offers... I was under the impression they were calling to discuss... if they are calling and leaving a message saying Hey Kev... how about a 5th rd pick in 2027 for Cozens or something stupid like that then I would agree with you.  If they are calling to discuss a player and a potential offer like... hey Kev, we are interested in Zucker... gimmie a call so we can talk... and he doesnt call back and at least say we are not interested in trading anyone at this point... then I have an issue. 

I just posted this a few minutes ago. Something similar to that.... 

It seems there might be a little more subtlety what the story than what we're getting... I mean... Why would Adams do that and why would Pegula allow him to do that? There has to be more to it than him simply ignoring everybody and everything.

[OverPowerYou]

Congratulations Sabres fans, this is our darkest hour. 14 year playoff drought, 11 (soon to be 12) game losing streak and the leafs fans will invade our building

What a time to be alive

Honestly I would hope so... I would be infuriated if i was the owner and my GM was ignoring opportunities to improve the team.

I may be the only Sabres fan in the building but I'll be cheering them on.  Go Sabres.

My son got us some free tickets for tonight so I’ll be there too.  
 

In related news, the over/under on me starting a “sell the team” or “where is Terry” chant is at the 14 minute mark of the 2nd period…

Sabres are going to win tonight. Backwards Friday. Book it.

Hulu has hockey games? That’s nice. I just got Hulu. That means I can watch?

You might as it's nationally televised ESPN game I believe.  This concept that Hulu has hockey is generally nothing more than Disney's cross-promotion of the content. On most days you might see Hulu listing hockey games but you'll need an ESPN+ subscription in your Disney+ bundle to be able to watch it.  They are integrating the content so users can simplify the apps they need to use to watch the content. For example, I have a full Disney+ sub and I can now use the Disney+ app to watch all Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ content.

As far as the game goes..

I'm drinking every time the opposition scores.  So this may be my last day on this planet...

How about the :14 second mark into the game?

Sell the team! Disgraceful, embarrassing, unbelievable, pitiful, beyond belief, disgusting, brutal, revolting, etc…

Either way, it all the same thing.  Return the calls, he has have 31 colleagues, it not that hard to return a call.  It is unprofessional not to.  We have seen him in pressers so actually do we know what it is.   

[steveoath]

Hmmm.  Usually excited for leafs games.  Nothing but apprehension for tonight. 

[Slack_in_MA]

Time for the guys with the Cs and As on their sweaters to play with some GD pride and lead the team out of the abyss.

LFG

[pastajoe]

The problem with them winning is then they’ll act like things are better and nothing needs to change. Then after a couple of wins they’ll go into another slump. Rinse and repeat.

[spndnchz]

Guess it’s Gotham.

It will be tough to get it going since you may be the only Sabres fan in your sections

Yep, I hope tonight is miserable for Terry.   Doubt he cares or even notices

This is not a national ESPN game. Hulu shows a few games each week that are also on on ESPN+. Watching hockey on Hulu is a bit wonky. The video will trail the voice at times so I have to back out of the stream and go back in to get it synched again.

I am excited about the game. I should not be but I have been with them since the were hatched.  

I finished all my Christmas shopping, wrapping, and decorating.  So I will be kicking back in the comfy man cave with some nice whiskey.  

I wish that one day we are in the race again so the games means something besides what are the next steps to rebuild or retool - its endless. 

[DarthEbriate]

I hope the Sabres win tonight, win out, and then go 16-0 in the playoffs.

 

Hopium is way beyond a gateway drug.

[In The Buff]

When this team is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, then we'll go on a 8 game winning streak. These guys are so weak, having no chance for the playoffs will allow them to play more free & less in their heads... even if theres nothing to play for. There are issues with roster construction no doubt. But too many players just arent playing good. Making mistakes they even just went over in the practices before. If they havent hit rock bottom yet, its playoff elimination day where we can maybe turn the corner. Thats my 2 cents

[LGR4GM]

Dahlin and Lafferty are off IR. Greenway is on IR.

I doubt that is the actual truth behind it. It’s far more likely he’s getting lowballed and a few GMs are trying to slander him into making a dumb trade.

[Crusader1969]

I just put $10 on the Sabres having the worst record for the season 

+1900.   Crazy good odds for a team 1 point out 

prior to season I put $5 on them winning the cup.  Cash out is $.02.  I should probably take it !

Keybank Center, fine.  Taking over Nine Eleven?  That's where I draw the line.
