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!
This is only a test
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

onn the flip side, two conference final appearances to only tell us that they have a different core in mind. then they miss the playoffs for 2 years and have an early, uninspired exit the next year.
you are right about the goalie and good young D. We should build on them pronto to take advantage of their youth.
You can't tell me the 2006 team wasn't built to win the Cup. We were extremely unlucky that year.
yeah, and that was 2006.
Unfortunately, it's 2010. There were some rule changes that came out of the lockout, and the game adapted accordingly. The Sabres never did. If the game was still played like it was in 2006, this team would have a legit shot of winning the cup. But the Sabres haven't shown that ability to change with the times.
So, expect more of the same. Miller may carry us to a consolation prize or two that you can add to your list, but the Sabres will be playing golf while the teams that can adjust compete for hockey's ultimate prize.
Pretty good for an owner and GM who are morons, huh?
why did they dismantle a team that was on the cusp of winning it all.... WHY????
and now we have the typical soft Sabre teams of years past and can only hope they somehow learn to play tough consistent hockey...
I'm pissed off at this franchise for not ever doing anything to get Hasek O help, and then dismantling a team that could of won it all after the lockout.
Nope until we win a championship I'm not very happy with Quinn or Tom G... Reiger I'm 50/50 on

and they dismanlted that team instead of preserving it for another run... that's ******ation at its finest. They may have parted with a player but they didn't have to let both Drury and Briere walk...

They had a poor understanding of the direction Free Agency was taking league wide.

this team has been uninspiring ever since.
They tried their best to keep Drury. We offered him the same contract he got in NY. He just decided to go there.
Briere's contract was absurd. No way were we going to give him that much money. He wasn't, and still isn't, worth it.
They "dismantled" because they knew if they handed out money to Drury and Briere, there would be less money available for someone like Miller, who is far more important.
Please don't bring up Campbell. Chicago gave out one of the worst contracts in NHL history to that guy. We'd all be livid if the Sabres paid him what he's getting now.

I'd like to be as livid as Chicago is about right now.
You are right about that. No GM could have prepared for 4 top dmen to go down.
Yes and no...everybody and I mean, EVERYBODY, but Darcy was screaming for the Sabres to add more veteran defensive help that year at the trade deadline. Oh, and he f**ked that up too.
while gm couldn't have planned for 4 defensemen to go down, he probably couldn't have predicted the heart and tenacity that team played with in the playoffs.
Even this year could be looked at as a huge unlucky streak. if we got past the first round, we were the top seeded team the rest of the way. if we really played like a number 3 team, we would have sailed to the stanley cup. that's a huge what-if, but it's the same logic we apply when we say, "if we got past the hurricans,we would have toasted the oilers."
