It is interesting how similar the Sabres and Sens are. Both teams STRUGGLE to defend. They both have a nice foundation of young players who are either budding stars or have potential to be good. Expectations were high, and they both fell flat on their face. Both also dealt with a good number of injuries, too, if I remember correctly.

Gonna be too busy for this one. I need to re-arrange my socks by alphabetical order of the colours. Might catch the next one.
Maybe I'll share my SlingTV acct so more people can watch a couple "Hunter" re-runs tonight.

Can Ryan Reynolds try and buy the Sabres?
Listen, win this game and they are 3-1 in the new year. That is a .670 win% keep it up and they make the playoffs!....
At this point I just want to see our players get back to being good like we have seen.

I'm cheering for the team that badly needs to make changes to address core issues but doesn't and is baffled when they have the same result year over year (as opposed to the team that makes 1 moderate to major change every year without addressing core issues and is baffled when they have the same result year over year).
Pegula can probably pay off enough of the WNY usual politicos to rename an entire area "Wrecks 'em".

He does not have that kind of wealth, only was part of group in Ottawa (950M) that was trying. He and McElhenny only paid 2.75M for the Wrexham FC.

Not really true. Reynolds sold his share of Mint Mobile in an attempt to purchase the Sens.
He made $1.4B on that sale. More than enough to buy most NHL teams. And certainly enough to buy perennial bottom dwellers.
EDIT FOR LINK:
Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile Sells to T-Mobile in $1.3B Deal
(I say not really true because there will be taxes so I'm unsure of his net cash received in the sale).

Reynolds was a minority owner of Mint and the total deal was based on a $1.35B valuation of Mint.
Reynolds got nowhere near $1B in that deal.
Ryan Reynolds Has a Frankly Ridiculous Net Worth
The movie star is also a hugely successful investor. Now, he's adding a big stake in a Formula 1 racing team to his impressive portfolio.
www.biography.com
Mid-2023, Reynolds' reported net worth was $350M.

He is said to own 20-25% of mint and 60% of deal is in stock so that’s about 100-150 mil cash before taxes. Sabres are valued north of 600 mil.
And it was the Toronto developers who were the real money in the bid. Reynolds was more akin to a charismatic, likeable version of Larry Quinn when BTG bought the Sabres in his Ottawa bid. That and he had actual ties to Ottawa and there is nothing of the sort to Buffalo.

Looking forward to seeing Ryan back on the ice and a good game from UPL.
Curious who takes Skinner's spot. Ideally they leave lines 2 and 3 alone, but that would probably mean moving Girgs onto the top line. Ugh.

If Okposo is back, probably they shuffle up someone else too.
If they were interested in giving Kulich a long run in a scoring role, this would also be an opportunity but that doesn't seem like something they are going to do.
Maybe for tonight, they put Benson up with Tuch and Mittelstadt?

No callup announcement, so no Kulich, right? Although that's what we'd all prefer to see.
I assume Don will go back to ?-Tage-Tuch. Stick Cozens at LW, move each of Mitts and Krebs up a line, and have Girgs center the 4th.

We have the Guys Wing Night for my church tonight. I might ask that they turn the game on. I might not...Well, the GF has asked me to go out for drinks at a local watering hole so I may just miss this one entirely.
