I stopped buying season tickets years ago, then I stopped going to any games at all a few years back. Now, I won't even spend even a single buck of my money on this team in any way. I was still watching the games because they are on TV and I figured, "Hey, it ain't costing me anything. But lately I don't even do that because it's costing me time off my life and my weekend. I've never seen a team as chitty as the Bills have been for this long (maybe Cleveland) I just can't let these losers suck the life out of me anymore. Half of this organization is either hurt or suspended by week 1 every season. Call me a fair weather fan all you want, but 17 seasons of no playoffs, and no hope of improvement on the horizon, is enough for anyone to put up with.

I'd call you a guy who has taken the blinders off and isn't buying Hope anymore.
I'm with you as far a s them having fallen out of favor. While I still tune in, I have watched about 3 Qrts so far this year total, and maybe a game and a half total of other games broadcast. They have simply deflated this fan.
I do like the DVR idea and will give that a go this weekend.

I am however, All In on the Sabres this year...it can't start soon enough!

What's up hopplehead?

Same old same old DD. How are you doing?

Interesting thought on Kane. While his actions are deplorable, I'd prefer the legal system deal with it like any other citizen. Let the fans not drive a wedge in the team, nor between the fan base and the team. This is where leadership in the locker room is critical...get that boy to take on a "lower profile".

It will certainly be interesting if they boo him. I guess you'll have some that will. His first goal and solid play in the offensive zone will mute any of the boos.

So I went on a job interview about a month ago for a financial services company in Chicago. They made a nice offer and I accepted it. I start my training there next week but won't be moving, staying here and working out of my home office.

One of the partners has a son who was actually drafted by the Black Hawks last year. Do I make the Hawks my second team to root for? Not a bad team to actually follow.

Not bad all things considered.

It's one of 4 players...........

I think I can narrow it down to 2.

I have my guess.......

winner winner chicken dinner!!!

During my interview I got talking hockey with his dad and he was mainly curious about what is going on with the Sabres. Great guy. His son Roy was drafted by Chicago in the 6th rd in 2015 and has played for the Barrie Colts. He's going back there again for this season. Getting drafted by the team you grew up watching was real cool for Radke.

Probably a great feeling for both of them. What's the gig if you don't mind me asking?

I'll be selling the company's services as Regional VP of Sales with my concentration mostly in the northeast, Texas and California. They provide financial management services, outsourcing, debt buying in the commercial markets with mostly within higher education and banking. I've spent 37 years in the industry and the previous company I worked for was sold and my position was terminated. I hope to only work for another 4-5 years and then retire.

Does anyone know if the preseason game on Monday will be on TV? It does not appear MSG will be carrying it.

That's cause I'm an old (frank).

Aren't you in Scotland at school or something? What are you looking to do for your career? Will you seek a job in Canada or the States?

Gionta was serviceable last year, but it's time the leadership of this team was turned over to Ryan O'Reilly.

I read on another site that a lack of energy and enthusiasm at camp has been evident. This, if true, is both puzzling and concerning. Is it a reflection of our cerebral, yet passionless head coach? Maybe. Or it could be that the captain is in over his head leading this group?

Whatever the problem might be, it needs to be fixed. This is a critical year for the franchise. These players should be amped up and ready to go.

Looks like the only pre season game on tv is the 9/30 game vs. Toronto.
