I respect what Sam Reinhart said earlier today. Sometimes in the moment after tough games word sometimes come out wrong! I’ve been there many times myself. I 100% believe that Sam is part of the solution moving forward for the Sabres! @TheInstigators @TheInstigator76.

What is everyone so upset there’s no response on the Sheahan and Dahlin hit? There hasn’t been a response for this type of play in many years! Why so surprised? You need a certain type of player. that the Sabres don’t have. @TheInstigator76 @martybiron43.

I find myself sitting here again today watching the Sabres. The Larsson, Girgensons and Okposo line AGAIN is dominating their shifts. Why are we talking about trading Larsson and Girgensons?? Please trade others!!@TheInstigator76 @martybiron43 @TheInstigators.

After listening to Tage Thompson speak in his end of the year meeting with media. How is he never talked about as the leader of this team with Dahlin! So well spoken. Serious and to the point. I love his presence and message. @AfterLeWhistle @TheInstigator76.

Is everyone else puzzled by the Sabres bring up Seth Appert to coach an NHL game? When there’s 3 assistant coaches. What message does that send the team? And when’s the last time you’ve seen this?.@AfterLeWhistle .@T_Vanek26 @Jeremy_Roenick.

Without question the most puzzling decision in NHL history? $5,000 fine??? Does Gary Bettman need to step in here? Like WTF! @AfterLeWhistle @Jeremy_Roenick @T_Vanek26 @Roy9ner @Giostyle21.
Jacob Trouba has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for high sticking Trent Frederic

Is this idiot for real? It is a damn travesty this moron is running the country! Give it a rest already. Time to move forward.
I’ve tested positive for COVID-19. I’ll be following public health guidelines and isolating. I feel okay, but that’s because I got my shots. So, if you haven’t, get vaccinated - and if you can, get boosted. Let’s protect our healthcare system, each other, and ourselves.
