All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

First, both Paille and Afinogenov seem to have benefited from being healthy scratches.
Second, at face value, it seems stupid to hamstring your 2nd best offensive player (Roy) with two guys who have recently been benched, but so far it's worked extremely well.
The team made him look like a genius last night. Lets see if they can keep it up. They have done this well in stretches before and we could use a good stretch ending out the season.
I really did like what Max was doing last night but it is most likely based on him knowing that he has to perform to stay in the league. He would have been traded if someone wanted him, yet here he is still on the team.
What the hell is wrong with you people? When I complain about the Sabres, I get 4 pages of arguments. When I compliment the Sabres, no one responds.
We don't know how to respond.
But I agree with you. Lindy seems to have a knack for throwing together line combinations that sound awful on the surface, but that work out in the end. He also makes other odd moves that also produce (i.e. Hank in a shootout???).
Still it worked for one game, when the entire team was flying all over the place and that got a tremendous boost from the goaltender keeping them alive in the first period. Once they weathered that storm, a few questionable calls (Gaustad's hit was interference? wtf???), and had a 1-0 lead at the end of the first Montreal was done and played like it too.
I'll wait until a few more games to say it has worked out too well. But for one game it did.
And if Max plays like he did last night every night, this team is way better.
This is how I remember Max playing 2 or 3 years ago- he coughed up the puck from time to time, but also generated offense and made some things happen, so it was a worthwhile trade-off.
More recently, he's just been a turnover machine who never made anything happen. Either way, I agree he's playing for his job and I think Lindy helped wake him up.
On a semi-related note based on Lecter's comment, I hope Lalime won the team over last night. Going into that game, the team was averaging less than 2 goals a game with Lalime in net, but he kept them in it after a lackluster first period and they came through for him in the 2nd and 3rd. I hope that carries over into subsequent games.
