I know this has probably been said a few hundred times here, but I am starting to wonder if this team's lack of physicality is something Terry/Kim don't want on this team. Ever since he bought this team, they have been soft and lack any spine. I remember when Lybushkin was on this team throwing hits and it was something we, as Sabres fans, hadn't seen for a decade at this point. Now Thompson gets lambasted with Ruff as our coach, and all he responds with is Bullshit, or We wanted the win. That isn't the Ruff I want coaching this team, even if that was what Ruff wanted. It doesn't matter cause the four other Sabres on the ice didn't even go after Noesen or any Devil right after that hit. Also, at teams when players get way too close to UPL or run into him the response there is always nothing. I am tired of watching this team not play as a team. They all play like they are out there for themselves and at this point, it seems like it isn't coaching isn't the GM but the actual owners making the Sabres play like they are in Peewee hockey.

Hello Buffalo Sabres! First we would like to thank the mods for allowing us to share our league with you! So what exactly is the Simulation Hockey League? We are a free simulation league about to enter our 81st season! The SHL allows you to create a character and take control of every aspect of their career. From creation there are tasks you can participate in on a weekly basis to earn points that go towards improving your player to perform better. With the conclusion of our most recent season comes the off-season activities, including the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League's (SMJHL) Entry Draft, the initial stepping stone for your player. You will be drafted to one of 16 excellent SMJHL teams! You'll spend your first season getting acclimated to the league and fighting for the Four Star Cup, and afterwards you'll be drafted by one of the 20 Simulation Hockey League (SHL) teams. Work hard, stay active and you could earn the prestige of being the 1st overall draft pick!

BE-A-PRO EXPERIENCE - A rich, personal hockey experience that crosses between video games and fantasy hockey. Build your player exactly how you want with a variety of different styles. Be totally involved in your player from the beginning, and take them from rookie to the SHL Hall of Fame! Every game is simulated on Franchise Hockey Manager 8, and its wide array of attributes allows you to customize your player to the maximum. Success is based on your activity within our community, so the more involved you are, the greater your player can be! A link to our YouTube channel can be found here if you want to see what our daily streams are like! https://www.youtube.com/live/AIxxSERUPMQ?si=uyBJZva0HljFwt2y&t=1395

FREE - As stated earlier, I want to emphasize that our community/site is completely free. It's free to join, free to participate, free to do what you want. Our league runs off the hard work of our community, we all serve each other in that regard. Every aspect of our site is run by our members. This isn’t a sales pitch, we’re just always looking for new members to fuel the already great community we have built!

DRAFT DAY - Experience what it is like to wait for your name to be selected, alongside your draftmates, vying for that top spot! This is a full draft experience where real people will draft you and spend their resources on your potential. Become the next big steal, or potentially the next big bust. Show the GMs you’ve got what it takes to be the face of their franchise!

REAL PEOPLE, REAL OWNERS - Every aspect of the league is run by real people from all around the world! Your draftmates, future teammates, general managers and the league’s head office are all real people you can interact with. Every decision from team lineups, draft day selections and last minute trade deadline deals are done by teams owned by members of the site, with plenty of opportunity for you to fill in those roles yourself! SHL superstar, team captain or scout, General Manager, Head Office; the site is full of opportunities for you to get involved however you so choose!

COMMUNITY - Once your player is drafted onto a team you will gain access to a private locker room for your organization, and their Discord server (should you choose to join there). Here is often where the closest relationships develop, and where you’ll make some great new friends to share your SHL journey with! You can spend time discussing the season, reflecting on your success, or just having a blast hanging out together! Of course you’ll find passionate hockey fans here, but with so many unique members, you’re bound to find people with lots of interests all over the site for you to get connected with.

Thoughts here

Hey y’all I just scored 100 level tickets for $15 bucks a pop on hub. I saw 300s for $7.

Team is on a streak so it might be a fun one to go to. Saying this on behalf of my daughter so she doesn’t see a totally empty building lol.

Looking back he had a vision for what he wanted this team to be. A team with a steady balance of skill and grit. Sure he had some flops on the draft front but on the whole he was able to obtain a good chunk of talent. I think the only true downfall of his reign was that he wanted to accelerate the rebuild faster than was realistically possible which meant selling off the farm for immediate players. That said he was never afraid to make a big trade whereas Kevyn Adams seems more inconsequential by the day. And maybe the media didn’t like his style of speaking but honestly it’s a breathe of fresh air to listening to KA’s platitudes constantly.

I would love a trade as much as anyone but would like thoughts on how you would feel if KA couldn’t find trade partners. I believe we are do or die based on the offseason trades but interested to see if anyone feels otherwise.

Most realistic/likely offseason-

Extend Byram
Extend Zucker
Buyout Samuelsson
Sign FA partner for Power

What to do with extras? Greenway? Kozak? Rosen?

Current lines :

JJ Peterka–Jiri Kulich–Tage Thompson

Jason Zucker–Dylan Cozens–Alex Tuch

Zach Benson–Ryan McLeod–Jack Quinn

Beck Malenstyn–Peyton Krebs–Sam Lafferty

Sunday: On this day (February 2nd) in 1993, the Sabres traded Dave Andreychuk, Darren Puppa, and a first-round draft pick (Kenny Johnson) to the Maple Leafs for a fifth-round pick (Kevin Popp) and what goaltender?

Monday: In the 1980-81 season, what player led the Sabres in scoring with 85 points in 73 games?

I always thought it was such a good sentiment that Buffalo plays the Canadian anthem even when it's two American teams. I bet they'll halt it quick with the damn trade war heating up. It's always fuck the Leafs, but that's on the ice, not in real life.

Some were introduced but many were not. Maybe there was a list posted Who can you name?

The bottom caption confuses me a bit but I’m glad to see Lindy say that about the players not reacting to what happened to Tage.

This is exactly what we talk about when we say this team has no reputation for toughness. And it’s been this way for more than ten years. You would think after the infamous Lucic headhunting of Miller that they’d never let another hit remotely like that go unchecked but they find a way to do it again. Any other team in the league wouldn’t have let Noesen move a limb until gloves were to come off. Doesn’t matter if your teams’ usual style is finesse or grit, you still have to make the guy pay.

LFG, I guess
