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!

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Kings goalkeeper Jonathan Quick hasn't faced the Buffalo Sabres very often since making his NHL debut against them nearly 10 years ago.
When he has played the Sabres, he's been exceptionally difficult to score against.
Quick is expected to lead the Kings (2-0-1) onto the ice against Buffalo for the ninth time in his career on Saturday night at Staples Center.
Quick is 5-1-0 in his career against the Sabres with three shutouts, and his 1.22 goals-against average is the lowest against any NHL team. He made 26 saves in his most recent outing against Buffalo, a 2-0 win at Staples Center on March 16.
In his past three games against the Sabres overall, Quick allowed one goal on 71 shots.
Buffalo (0-3-1) is still seeking its first win under coach Phil Housley, the NHL's all-time second-leading scorer amongst American-born players. Housley was hired in June to replace Dan Bylsma, who was unable to guide Buffalo back into the playoffs in his two seasons.
"We've got to just figure out a way to be sick of losing," Sabres forward Jack Eichel told the team web site after a 3-2 loss at the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. "I know I'm sick of losing. There's a lot of guys who are sick of losing. But there's a difference between playing hard and playing hard and smart."
The oldest player for the Sabres has also been one of their most productive. Jason Pominville, 34, has four goals and an assist in the first four games. He scored both goals in the loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.
Pominville owns 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 18 career games against the Kings, including a goal and three assists in his past three meetings. In his last game at Staples Center on Oct. 18, 2016, when Pominville was with the Minnesota Wild, he had a goal and an assist in the 6-3 victory.
Special teams have been a weak spot for both teams so far this season. The Sabres have allowed a league-leading four shorthanded goals after allowing four all of last season.
The Kings, meanwhile, are 0-for-16 on the power play, one of four NHL teams that has yet to score with the man-advantage.....
