I never even heard of any of those Dr.Seuss books anyways
Doubt anyone will miss them all that much
There’s still PLENTY of other Dr.Suess books to read

And this decision was made by the company itself

NOTHING wrong with a Company making a conscious decision to be better
It’s no big deal at all

This is true. Outside of Green Eggs as Ham, Gribch, Hop on Pop, 1 fish 2 fish, oh the places you will go - no one read those other books.

If someone is “angry” a) they don’t read much since grade 1 , 2- listen to only Fox News and are brainwashed in that case, god help them because Duhhhhyoyoyy like that guy that was Courtney Cox’s husband in the Scary Movie movies c- virtue signaling. 4- like overt racism and will argue til blue in face to say they aren’t racist

Going back to the blog headline, you nailed it Mike, this team wasn’t built for this division. Knowing what they know now if they could go back It would be Hall out Hoffman in and Simmonds in while some other cream puff goes out.

I survived being clinically dead 3 times last July from end stage Congestive heart failure- Supraventricular - renal failure andca laundry list of other failures.

I'm here to spread love and talk Sabres hockey as painful as it is to my broken heart.

Fear not my friend.🤙🏻

You are the real deal when it comes to fighters. Even though it’s just through these blogs we have discussions it’s a pleasure to know you. Keep fighting. Whether you know it or not you are an inspiration to many.

How's it going 50, hope everything is good. Sabres hockey it's time to reset the foundation. One thing to have a bad coach another thing just to quit. Wish these guys had half your will to fight.

That means a lot.
That's my goal now.
I simply want to inspire those that feel defeated.
It's never over if you have the fight within you.
I had a chaotic IC unit running amok for hours trying to save my life.
In the end, no medicines or drugs saved my life.
My fight for life is what saved me.
The doctors never seen anything like it.


Thank you my friend.
I am beyond elated to still be here.💕

Aw...this "team" will eventually overcome.
I truly believe that!

I have a huge appointment Wednesday morning with my Cardiologist Dr.Joy at suburban cardiology.
I'm very anxious to say the least.

Much love to you and to all of my Sabres diehards here!

Chin up everyone.
Things will get better.🤙🏻

5 of the top 12 teams overall are in our normal division
- homiedclown


Yup, and The Sens are coming for us...will take 2 years before they are firmly ahead for good, looking at the Sabres in the rearview mirror.

To make matters worse, in the fight for a PO spot in the Conference, NJD and Rangers are climbing and on the same timeline with the Sens.

Sabres are completely fvcked.
They no doubt have botched the rebuild on top of the original rebuild.

I don’t think Hoffman was on anyone’s radar in the Sabres office. Simmonds was not staying. Those are both pipedreams. I’m pretty sure most GM’s had a pretty good idea how the divisions would shape up. They were on Staal/Hall autopilot

This team has sacrificed toughness and grit for soft “skilled” players for years and has never corrected it. We brought in Simmonds at the end of a losing season and expected that to make a difference. If Hall goes at the deadline, try and get an absolute pain in everyone’s ass player instead of a late first that will amount to nothing. If we trade Eichel, it better come with a
Big, mean defenseman, a big mean winger and some scoring.
We need grit and toughness now and not just a 1/2 season rental

We need are youngins to keep growing, some of them are playing good in Rochester. Samuelsson had a good game last night, Laaksonen is playing well and Jones has been a surprise. Rusto had a goal last night and Quinn picked up a point. It's a matter of filling in the boxes around the talent and the Sabres haven't done well with that.

We’ve had moderate success at this but our depth at the NHL level has been so poor, we’ve ruined most of our potential talent by rushing them and setting them up for failure. We need a real NHL team so we can have a real farm team

I agree, but since the bloodletting of TM we really haven't had a farm system, with his trades we basically had nothing, and instead of filling spots with younger players more assets and cap had to be used to fill spots with marginal players that should have been for youngins. Are prospect pool is just starting to get healthy again. They just can't seem to find the right pieces to finish the puzzle.
