That was definitely their best game of the season so far. Good in all phases - PK, PP and 5v5 for all 3 periods. They played with energy, forechecked hard and stuck up for each other. Good team D too. Like Dahlin said, that’s how they need to play every game moving forward. If they do they will win more often than they lose. Really loving what Josh Doan is bringing to this team. I feel like Doan and Benson both raise the compete level of the entire team. They both look like very important players to the Sabres future right now. Hopefully that holds true. lol Timmins has been a welcome addition so far too. He’s been great on the PK and holding his own 5v5. He looks better than Clifton for sure. Once Kesselring is back he should be a really solid 3rd pair D for the Sabres. I can’t wait to see what Kesselring adds to the team. If he has an impact similar to or better than Doan, that could end up being a really nice trade for Buffalo. 🤞🤞 These last 2 games have me getting a bit excited about Sabres hockey again. I sure hope they can keep playing like this and banking some wins.

That was a fun win. I actually enjoyed watching the game and didn’t change the channel all night (for once)! lol More games like that, please.

Yeah, neither has been good. lol we obviously need them to be our best players to have any chance at a better season. Hopefully they start playing better soon. I really thought we may see Thompson take a step forward (again) this season after playing such an important role for the USA winning gold in that tournament and with the Olympics on the horizon. I mean, it’s only been 3 games so there’s still plenty of time. But the overall morale of the team 3 games in is definitely concerning.

good thing Adams went all in on improving the roster this offseason! 😂😢

This is after one ******* game, mind you. They’re already packing it in after one game. This has to be the most mentally soft team ever constructed.

and watch this instead be used as an excuse to give Adams another year… 😂😢🤦‍♂️

Sabres called up Josh Dunne (4th line enforcer type) for today’s game. So that means the center spine looks to be Kulich, McLeod, Krebs and Danforth. Yikes. And it sounds like Norris will miss a few weeks minimum, best case scenario, with the potential to miss a lot more time. This is where we are at in year 6 under Kevyn Adams. One injury to a very often injured center and they now have a group of centers that look like what you’d see on a team in the first year or two of a full rebuild. I think the most annoying part of this all is that we are in what? year 10(+) of the never ending rebuild and they don’t have an elite C prospect anywhere in the system. The entire reason they decided to tank was to get the type of elite top line center you can only usually get at the top of the draft and now they don’t even have that anymore.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6707261/2025/10/10/josh-norris-injury-sabres-zach-benson/ F****** Wonderful. lol Even with Norris, their centers were easily bottom half of the league. Without him, it’s really ugly. They’re probably in trouble if he misses significant time.

I sure hope it’s not serious. This guy just can’t seem to stay healthy though.

lol. This made me think back to Rex having all the Buffalo players wear wrist bands to remind them not to commit penalties 😂 I think they still ended up being one of the most penalized teams in the NFL.

I am pleasantly surprised. I thought they might try to carry 3 goalies for a while. But I’m glad they’re giving Ellis a legit shot.

I like this waiver pick up. He is a good prospect with potential and a handful of years of pro experience (ECHL and AHL). They couldn’t enter the season with Georgiev as their only other option to Lyon. Georgiev looked bad in the preseason, and the last # of seasons too for that matter. I’d definitely rather see them take a chance on someone like Ellis who has a chance to be a good, long term solution vs. Georgiev who has already shown that he’s not. I wonder if they keep Lyon, Georgiev and Ellis on the NHL roster, or if Georgiev gets released? I don’t know if he’s fallen out of favor. I think Kevyn still loves him. But I do think they have at least stopped treating him as the anointed one (lol) and realized he needs to be properly developed, not forced into the NHL. And that legit competition for him is a good thing. I suspect Lindy has a lot to do with the new approach.

McDavid just signed with Edmonton. 2 years, $12.5M AAV. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6474073/2025/10/06/connor-mcdavid-contract-oilers-extension/ It looks like he’s giving Edmonton 2 more years (beyond this season) to win a cup and took a huge discount in AAV to help them do it.

From everything that’s been reported I don’t think McDavid is looking for a max deal. If he wanted max term+AAV from the oilers, he could easily get it. He doesn’t need any other player to set the market for him. He doesn’t seem willing to commit to Edmonton long term right now. He wants to win Stanley cups. That seems to be his only true motivation. rumors are he may sign short term with Edmonton, and at a slight discount like he took with his last contract (where he actually approached his agent and told him to take $1M off per year because he didn’t feel comfortable making over $13M/yr at the time). I do think this raised the price of signing Tuch though.

He seems to let criticism get to him. It makes me think back to EJ Manuel press conferences (lol). I remember after one particularly terrible game by EJM, he was asked by a reporter about his poor play and said “coach said I’m playing well”. 🤦‍♂️😂

it wouldn’t equate to missing on our first 3 picks in the 2025 draft, though. It would just mean they didn’t have a big impact as rookies. There would still be plenty of time for them to develop into important starters for the Bills. I mean, sure in an ideal world they come in and play great right away but that’s not a super common scenario. Plenty of rookies need time to develop.

I only watched a few minutes of the 3rd period of last night’s game so I can’t say much about how they played in that one. But I thought they looked good in game 1. Their first period was not great but then I thought they kind of took over the game after that. I’m surprised TBH, but I do find myself starting to feel a bit hopeful about this season. lol

Praying for you and your daughter! Eating disorders are rough. My younger cousin had a couple different eating disorders when she was younger. She did a lot of therapy to address it and eventually it did help. She also had an episode where she ended up in the hospital and I think that was a big wake up call for her. Things seemed to slowly start getting better after that. So I’m hoping the same happens for your daughter! If you ever want me to reach out to my cousin about this, for resources or advise or whatever, just let me know!

This looks great. Makes me feel nostalgic. John Candy is still one of my all time favorite actors. Thanks for sharing OP! I’m definitely going to watch this when it hits prime video.

In general, on all of yahoo’s leagues. It’s not the picks for this specific TBD league. I made that mistake my first year playing pick’em. I was letting it influence some of my picks, thinking I was making a “safe” pick everyone else in the league made too. Or the opposite pick of most in the league (to try and gain ground on them). But it has zero to do with the picks made by others in your league. Also, just FYI - the team listed on the left of the column (when making your picks) is always the favored team to win. yes. On the main fantasy page, above the league name where it has these 3 options: “create group” “join group” “fantasy profile” click on fantasy profile. Then when it takes you to the new page, along the top click “history”. That will show your history for every year you played in a yahoo league.

that guy’s entire instagram is just filled with insane drum playing. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLVQldnsNZe/?igsh=MThjaHI3aDBoMThyeg== https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLSwR-tMLuG/?igsh=N210OWU4YmdsNzR1 he also has a cool review channel on YouTube where he spotlights some of his favorite drummers/songs. this guy also has some good content. He’s a studio musician for a lot of different metal bands. He doesn’t post a lot, and probably posts more on r/drums (Reddit). I enjoy watching him play. He’s so good at double bass. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5XMURdJ-nG/?igsh=azY5bHA1bG9tN2Nw

That’s what I was wondering too. Is there a no tag clause or not? I’ll be interested to find out! edit - sounds like it does not have a no tag clause. https://www.cincyjungle.com/cincinnati-bengals-salary-cap/173080/trey-hendricksons-new-deal-how-much-franchise-tag-cost-2026

I think the newer ones are supposed to be better now. But for a while they had major issues with their continuously variable transmissions (CVT). I do think they recently had a pretty big engine recall too.
