This was great. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

So.... 1 win in the entire month of November with 2 more games to go (both against the leafs in a back to back). That’s just beyond brutal. It’s not even thanksgiving and im pretty much already mentally checked out on this season. Sick of being a Sabres fan.

McDermott has definitely been more aggressive this season. I’d guess that it probably comes down to having more trust in his starting QB now than he did in previous seasons.

It’s all all-22 film review that Joe does every week. He’s just reporting what he sees on the tape, good or bad. Personally, I enjoy his weekly game reviews and don’t really ever get the sense that he’s being negative for the sake of being negative (like Jerry, Bucky, Sal etc). In fact, there’s been numerous times where he will report that a player everyone else was being negative about actually had a good game, or that a loss wasn’t as bad as it first looked. This is a description of the article. It’s not a negative article by any means. And a paragraph on Josh Allen -

Thanks for sharing this! No, it’s new. https://www.profootballhof.com/events/a-football-life-bruce-smith/ https://buffalowdown.com/2019/06/09/buffalo-bills-nfl-making-a-football-life-documentary-about-bruce-smith/

Bill Peters won’t be behind the Calgary bench tonight. His assistant, Geoff Ward, will be running things. I believe it’ll be his first time ever running an NHL bench/team. I am really hoping to see the Sabres come out and play with intensity. They should be fired up to take advantage of an already struggling team that’s now in further disarray, losing their head coach (for tonight at least) to a developing scandal that’s the talk of the entire hockey world. I want to see some desperation (from our players) to get in the win column.

Mentions some stuff about buffalo trades around the 8-9 minute mark. Says Scandella’s name is out there. Maybe Miller too. Buffalo looking for the best forward they can get.

Looking forward to seeing this! I remember many of the Domi vs. Ray fights.

Boy, all hell breaking loose for the flames head coach as Calgary comes to town. I guess Bill Peters is still at the hotel. His assistant is running practice at the rink in Buffalo. Seems like about 1/2 a dozen people have come forward against Peters in the last day. This is what started it all - https://www.tsn.ca/akim-aliu-speaks-publicly-on-allegations-against-calgary-flames-head-coach-bill-peters-1.1403974 I wonder if Skinner will have anything to say. I’m sure they’ll ask him about Peters. He played for him for 4 years iirc. Edit - and another...

Well.... I love the optimism. But I don’t share it.

Commodore blames Babcock for ending his career. https://971theticket.radio.com/articles/former-red-wing-mike-commodore-rips-mike-babcock-i-would-kick-bleep-out-guy There more to the story if you click the link. He played for Babcock twice. Once in Anaheim and once in Detroit. There was friction in Anaheim too (story in the link). I take what Commodore says with a grain of salt, but it’s an interesting read.

In the bottom 2 photos, You can actually see the one little table Jerry Sullivan took a picture of (with the toaster and donuts on it). I guess he just didn't notice the much bigger table table filled with food sitting right next to the table he took a picture of... ?

Also, According to this article on the Athletic - https://theathletic.com/1406577/2019/11/24/denver-broncos-buffalo-bills-quarterback-change/

https://torontosun.com/sports/hockey/reinvigorated-leafs-eager-to-keep-pushing-forward-with-keefe-at-helm#click=https://t.co/VTDUNsL3wC Wow. That is so messed up. The rookie was supposedly Mitch Marner.

Nice to hear numerous prospected are playing well. Cozens is currently sitting atop the entire WHL, tied for the scoring lead with 1 less game played than the kid he’s tied with. https://www.quanthockey.com/whl/en/seasons/2019-20-whl-players-stats.html It would be so huge for the Sabres if they really hit on that Cozens pick.

Both the Bills and Sabres looked good for an entire game and won. On the same day. I think I may play the lottery tomorrow... lol.

Impressive.

Sunday November 24th. ?

11 games at or above 50% expected goals. 11 games under 50% They appear to be trending up again. Hopefully it sticks longer this time... https://thehockeywriters.com/sabres-process-not-results-2019-20/ Sabres article on hockey news. I know you’ll like this one, John! ?
