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

Hearing that despite the score, many positives taken from this game. Lotta writers and sabres themselves may have woken up. Let's see. At this point, we take what we can get.
St Louis is a contender. Getting crushed isn't the surprise. Just glad to see guys play with emotion. A higher compete level will at least make the team more competitive down the line.
Compete level is the most over used, mean-nothing adage being used in the hockey world.
mind numbingly meaningless as far as I'm concerned.
watching the sabres go through the motions of a bad season gets old. watching a team actually go out and skate and compete and stick up for team mates is kind of a big deal.
it most certainly means something. and its a major reason nolan had success in his early coaching career. "hardest working team in hockey"
having hasek didnt hurt, but a team that competes and tries and works is alot more fun to watch then a team simply going through the motions. its a sign that the players still care, even if it is for one night. but its nolans job to make sure it isnt simply one night.

No coach ever had to talk to me about my compete level.

Same here. But let's be honest here. Not every player shows up every shift. Or every game. They float and rely on talent and skill and don't do the little things. When guys do the little things, or at least try to, that's a good sign.

Don't get me wrong, losing 6-1 sucks.
Here's a hint... if you have to talk to a player about their compete level, perhaps they shouldn't be getting icetime or even be in the team... Hodgson.. cough.

its funny you mention hodgson. i always believed he was going to become a second line center, but ive come to realize most games, he doesnt show up.
he would be fine on an established team where a guy giving 75% isnt going to hurt them, like the hawks or blues. but on a team like the sabres, its exposes that glaring hole ten times over.
but regardless, you are right, but thats what makes last game at least notable in that department. the sabres as a whole were just going through the motions. last night, some at least showed some life.
