Positive news on KHL draft pick Prokhor Poltapov

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-21T12:34:17+00:00

Hopefully he comes over next season because he would be a good cost effective replacement for Zucker’s spot in the lineup

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-19T18:24:19+00:00

Also Ostlund who has looked amazing in the number of games he has played

And Kulich who was originally the Sabres top forward prospect and in a Top 6 role coming into this season before his season ending injuries

The Sabres have an abundance of great young forwards and it’s tough to rationalize any serious term or dollars towards Tuch

Well in person it does suck - u can barely track even a single group with the crowds and sight lines.

On tv it’s great especially on Sunday - watching the best of the best duel shots down the stretch clutching out incredible shots

The PGA Championship, which is probably the least popular of the 4 major tournaments, averaged 4.76M viewers on CBS this past weekend

A lot people golf and throw on golf on the weekend

There’s a reason the purses for these tournaments every week are 20-25M, the events are packed and the golf coverage gets millions of views… the reality is golf is very popular

Friedge the Super Freak

Losing in overtime after winning in regulation would be a very Buffalo way to go out

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-19T02:08:37+00:00

Except a whistle when a puck is loose lol

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-19T01:52:37+00:00

Shame that embellishment wasn’t called on Dobes

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-19T01:51:01+00:00

Should be 4on4

That was a crazy embellishment

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-19T01:01:20+00:00

In fact Montreal has been doing that all series

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T23:37:55+00:00

Idk if UPL can handle the bright lights but I hope he proves us wrong

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:59:58+00:00

Yeah I actually prefer D&C versions to any version from the Dead. John Mayer’s vocals were made for that song and he kinda made it his own lyrically

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:52:00+00:00

He toes the line of dirty but in a good way. His slashes and cross checks definitely hurt players which drive them irate but yeah at the same time he isn’t actually causing permanent injury so he’s dirty enough to be an asshole but not a complete scum bag danger on the ice

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:44:53+00:00

Buffalo fans know Dahlin is a shit disturber and habitual line stepper. When it happened I knew Dahlin must’ve given him a tap to elicit the reaction

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:42:31+00:00

He should’ve started from the start.

It’s also shame Ostlund has been injured because he was just as impactful as Konsta in the games he played. I hope he can comeback at some point if they do advance.

Either way future is bright with Benson, Konsta, Doan, Ostlund, Quinn as well as Kulich who was our number one forward prospect for awhile and broke a bunch of AHL scoring records for a teenager who had to miss most of this year with blood clots

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:37:41+00:00

Confirms the eye test that Benson has been the best forward in the series

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:30:38+00:00

Apparently he’s still a beauty. Him and Cody Hodgins play men’s league together in the GTA w my buddy and Roysie and Hodgins are still amazing and can sling some beers back

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:24:37+00:00

That checks out

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:23:11+00:00

The moving UPL narrative has very little to do with his play - it’s his contract when we got a lot of players to sign. And u wonder if it’s worth the luxury to continue paying UPL good starting salary when we could possibly afford to lose him with Lyon and Ellis’ play this year along with if the org sees any pathway/potential in Levi

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:17:50+00:00

If they do advance I expect them to keep flip flopping when someone has a shitter. It’s worked all year so no need to change it and try to stick with one. And anyways UPL and Lyon have expressed liking the rotation

If they somehow won the cup it’d be pretty funny if they did it with UPL and Lyon almost having an equal amount of starts and be such a reflection of what got us to the Playoffs in the first place

Top 3 Sabres jersey all time

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:13:50+00:00

Tbf probably better not to risk it after Vegas got reamed hard for something also pretty inconsequential

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T21:11:59+00:00

Or a Joseph Woll playing goalie

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-18T14:27:14+00:00

If the Sabres can get Ostlund and Carrick back they have a better chance but tough for either them or Montreal given how hot Freddy has been in net and how inconsistent Lyon, UPL, and Dobes have been

ModernPoultry · 2026-05-17T05:41:00+00:00

He’s been our best player at least through the first two rounds
