This is true.

Which brings me back to having a sad over Owen Power reportedly being out in the ~6+ month range.

Really?

Chad D on Twitter is inferring as much.

My incredulity was about your sad, in as much as the sad for how his short absence might hurt the team's chance of winning.

Dammit - I don't quite follow. You cracking wise? The kid's struggled some on the back end, but, Lord, can he skate, pass, and shoot that biscuit.

Owen Power? Not only can't he shoot the biscuit, as much as he presses on the seam, he can't get the tube to pop.

Check available tickets on Tickemaster. Leafs fans are weirdly staying away. This is a potentially ominous sign for the Sabres, Bills, the hospitality industries of WNY, ADK, parts of Florida, and so on.

Not exactly ‘weirdly’ 

I’ll be there!  Go Sabres!!

huge hassle at the border now and checking phones for any messages against Trump

I'm not here to engage in this topic.    Just to state this is not true.

[LGR4GM]

To bad Buffalo didn't call up someone like Novikov just for 1 game. Would have made watching worth it.

This clarifies my initial confusion and introduces new confusion.

I like it!

Also, I really like Power and think he's gonna be a good one.

The error in word choice was clearly mine -- "weirdly" weirdly made sense in my head -- but evidently it just caused confusion. I would have done better just to say "sadly."

[Stoner]

I'm comfortably confused.

[HumanSlinky39]

With UPL in net, my gut tells me this is like a 6-2 loss. But honestly, who the hell knows with this team. I'll watch and either be thrilled we're beating the leafs or be enveloped in existential dread realizing we'll probably have pretty much the same team next season.

Isak Rosen has been recalled according to reports on the internet.

I would have preferred a look at somebody else but whatever. I can't care about this game in any way and that's the first time ever for a Leaf game as I hate the Leafs. Going to be cheering for Ottawa to upset them.

It's better to see what Bryson will give you going into next year. If he has a few good games in Powers absence KA will be able to sleep well knowing he won't have to do anything in the off-season to address the D.

It is happening and Canadians are being warned of it. Some people have said their social media has been checked. 
 

Im not here to make a big deal of it either. Just letting people know why Canadians are not crossing the border now.

Tonight is the invasion of the Toronto Maple Leaf fans, well....maybe 

Four days ago...

Just now...

Tix are going for $23 now. So who bought those tickets? Locals or Leafs fans willing to risk a time share in El Salvador?

Isn't El Salvador in North America?

Apparently the Panama Canal is considered the dividing line between the continents of North and South America. So yes.

He deserved a chance at a NHL Paycheck for a few days for sure. 
 

But hey let’s sign Jacob Bryson to one year 900k extension and scratch him for 13 out of 17 games the team has played since the signing and have a 0-4 record in the games he did play

The Bryson signing is damning and shows Adams utter incompetence.

Bryson is not an NHL level defenseman. It still grates me that ka resigned him.

Also, Power will be fine. Dhalin took some time to get it figured out. Power will figure it out and be an excellent player given a little more time.

Power is so far below what Dahlin was at the same age.

The PDO Podcast on Sunday mentioned the Sabres need to avoid stepping on the Byram Landmine with a long term contract. 
 

They really don’t know Adams. He runs into a minefield, stops, drops and rolls to set off as many mines as possible
