Maybe the college football national championship game put me in a bad mood.  Maybe the Sabres' currently losing streak made it worse.  However I have some real concerns about the future of this team.

I was looking at the "best" UFAs still available; guys like Markov, Vanek, Stafford, Franson, Fisher and Gionta and I think because of the Olympics I might sign in Europe and then go represent my country in the games. For most of the guys on this list it will be their last and in some cases only chance to represent their country. I know Gionta wants to be near home, but what an opportunity. Go play in the Swiss league, earn a decent paycheck, and then Captain the US olympic squad.

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

Complain about anything you want. 1 complaint, 20 complaints, who cares? No one is really listening anyways.

My complaint for this week...

Fast food workers who are miserable beyond belief while on the job. If you hate your job that much, do something about it to better yourself in life. Go back to school or do whatever is needed to find a better job. In the meantime, if you continue to stay in your current position, suck it up and put on a happy face. M

While this forum sure likes sitting on their computers or phones wasting time talking about food, beer, liquor and sometimes even sports, I can't imagine we're all maintaining a sedentary lifestyle.

So let's have a thread about it. We can discuss what we do for exercise, our fitness goals, accomplishments, failures, questions, etc.

As for myself I'm an active cyclist, beer league hockey player, and I run when the tendonitis in my knee isn't acting up. Thanks to my job and all of... Читать дальше...

Housley on poor D play:  "It's a lack of respect and urgency in the defensive zone...not having that urgency to kill a play. I think there is a lot of cheat in our game. They think that points are more important than playing solid D."  #Sabres

Kevin Porter named Rochester Captain.

WATCH | HC Chris Taylor announces captain and assistant captains for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

This will go well. 

I think there is a thread for this already, but I could not find it.

A good friend and I watched *Tooth Fairy* last evening.

He got it for his kids to watch in 2010.  It was really good, surprisingly enough.  A hockey themed tooth fairy tale.  Two grown men with tears in their eyes at the happy ending.

This thread is inspired by this video:

If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

Congrats to @JackEichel15 on being named an #NHLAllStar - he'll represent at All-Star Weekend Jan. 27-28 in Tampa!

Edit:Womp Womp, didn't see the other thread. Feel free to kill this one.

One thing I've noticed, game after game, and illustrated by a graph someone posted recently:

Per McKenzie

And what result is in the best interest of the club long term?

The Sabres sit with 14 pts in 30th place in the NHL. We are last in goals for with 52 and 29th in goals against with 79 allowed.

However, Risto and Bogo will be back soon and with 60 games left in the season there is still a reasonable shot at improving on last years’ 78pts. Simply earning 1 pt a game the rest of the season gets us to 74 pts.

Is this what we want or need? Would we be better off staying lousy and getting a top 3 pick? Читать дальше...

I’ve seen enough. Jbot do something already! Find us a D or two.

Shake up this roster. Let them know this effort isn’t acceptabe.

Step 1: Waive Moulson and Gorges.
Step 2: demoted Fedun and Tennyson
Step 3: ????

Makes sense...the only guy who actually plays hard every night and is having a career year, has good possession numbers on an abysmal possession team...but yeah, lets trade him...

The first decent 2nd half deal went down today.  Duclair and Clendening to Chicago for Panik and a minor leaguer.
