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

Damn Islanders pull out a win against Anaheim because Perry and Getzlaf did not play due to flu.
yep i saw that. the islanders can score bunches, but their defense has been bad and halak has been mediocre. that might all change, but the isles are only marginally improved. i think they finish in the bottom 12 of the league and get buffalo a decent pick. i dont think theyll fall to the bottom 5 though.

My thumb is down to the Buffalo Sabres' lust for Connor McDavid. I'm well aware that all 30 NHL teams would not hesitate to smile at the thought of McDavid in their lineup, but most of them would be highly disappointed if that came to pass because they won the draft lottery after finishing in last place. Until or unless the Sabres decide to change the conversation regarding themselves and McDavid by vowing to finish as high as they can, they are to be judged by the comments they've made. Owner Terry Pegula has stated that the way to improve is to do what Pittsburgh did - draft Sidney Crosby with the first pick a year after selecting Evgeni Malkin with the second pick. Well, there are other ways, but I digress. General manager Tim Murray is anxious to see the Sabres lose "properly" if they must lose. "Let's get Connor with honour" would be the rallying cry. The Sabres are probably bad enough to get the most favourable draft odds by trying their best, and so they should say and do everything to suggest that 30th place is not acceptable….even if that is the goal.
Dave Hodge gives a thumbs up to timely stellar netminding in Washington and Glendale and puts his thumb down to the Sabres' lusting after Connor McDavid.
And yet, there is nothing to suggest that this is anything but a typical rebuild. It just so happens that a highly touted prospect is going to be drafted

Well I would argue against that. They could have signed better role-players and they didn't. Instead the roster is riddled with no-name losers like Flynn, McCormick, and Deslauriers. The Florida Panthers roster looks stellar compared to the crap the Sabres put out there.
As Sabres fans we've seen plenty of rebuilds. Past Sabres teams have made an effort. This was no effort. I don't ever want to see Flynn, McCormick or Deslauriers and that ilk play again. Their ceiling is the AHL. This roster is full of AHLers and kids that are up here too soon for their own good. It's complete crap.
And, again, Drew Stafford is your leading scorer. THAT is all the proof you need to say this is NOT just a typical rebuild.
This is so clearly an all out dive that it is indefensible. And Pegula admitted it to you with his Penguins analogy. He makes the fine fans in Buffalo put up with epic crap teams for 2 years running to get one guy? He should be run out of town. And yet you all bow at his feet. It's the stupidest thing I have ever witnessed.

How at pegulas feet? I don't even like the guy. I do like murrays method by moving all departing pieces for assets. as far as deslauriers, I like the kid. Works hard and hits like a train, and is young. He could be a great fourth line winger.
