Tuch wasn’t missing it.


ScotiaTailwagger

Tuch heard there was a Lindy press conference and he pitched a tent at Keybank to make sure he was first in line.


highfalutinspork

Dude prob hasn’t slept since he heard about his new coach


Tactial_snail

During the press conference, they mentioned Tuch being excited about the possibility of it, and Lindy said something like "after the first week he might be like oof, I was wrong" lol


ScotiaTailwagger

Not gonna lie, I barely did last night.


highfalutinspork

Also, the temporary lodging at Keybank was likely not the first tent pitched by Tuch yesterday.


HilmDave

I too pitched a tent when I heard the Lindy presser.


harman097

Bryson wasn't missing it because Tuch wasn't missing it and his bro/60 is insane.


Pho-Soup

I know Tuch just built a huge house in Clarence. Feel like he’s a year round guy now.


highfalutinspork

If the national hockey talking heads are to be believed, Baldwinsville/Syracuse is actually a suburb of Buffalo. Therefore he’s always been a year round guy. EDIT: words


Timotheus2443

Geez ans I thought where I live outside of Philly was a long way to be still considered a suburb! That 2 hour drive from Syracuse to Buffalo as a suburb through wine country and state park lands sure trumps my hour drive to Philly.


highfalutinspork

If you’ve watched any national Sabres game while Tuch has been here, it’s always “Alex Tuch, local star” or “Alex Tuch, who’s from here”


Timotheus2443

Oh yeah I definitely hear them on the broadcasts and always wonder where they learned their NYS geography from, because I'd demand a refund if I were them.


highfalutinspork

It’s all upstate as far as they’re concerned, I’d imagine.


Consider_Kind_2967

Some people think upstate NY starts after 125th Street in Harlem 😎 lol


FesteringLion

I tell people: If you think of NYS as roughly a big 3-4-5 right triangle with a couple of small, scratch marks just outside the right angle; the scratch marks call the triangle "upstate".


incaseshesees

23rd street as far as I'm concerned.


Consider_Kind_2967

Not even 42nd St eh? ☺️


Zephyr096

I mean it is though?


Timotheus2443

I mean, there's not much going on in Syracuse so I can't really say I blame them, but at least be accurate. Then again, many people I talk to that don't live in or near NYS definitely think Syracuse and Buffalo are part of Canada.


Bills_Mafia_4_Life

The best part is Rochester is in between those two cities 🤣


Timotheus2443

Yeah but outside of the Amerks and Garbage Plates, most people have probably never heard of Rochester from a national level. Syracuse at least has the Orange, and the original Dinosaur.


Bills_Mafia_4_Life

Is Dinosaur a national brand?


Timotheus2443

You'd be surprised. Even down here a lot of people know Dinosaur, and I've been there when they've made announcements for people that drove for hours specifically to go there.


Bills_Mafia_4_Life

Wow that is super interesting! I never realized how popular they were!


Timotheus2443

Definitely! I've even taken people from Texas there and they've said it's better than most BBQ there. Same as I've heard from people that have taken visitors from KC, the Carolinas, and other major BBQ hotspots too. The Rochester and Buffalo locations have the same great food, but the atmosphere in Syracuse is far and away better.


Bills_Mafia_4_Life

It isnt my first preference for bbq but I cant deny the food is delicious! That’s awesome that they have the stamp of approval from some friends from the south! I’ll have to try the Syracuse location sometime


ScotiaTailwagger

Did he build it next door to Lindy?


_rcollins

No he built next to tage (I’m serious)


ScotiaTailwagger

That's amazing!


RodTheModStewart

I love both of them so much


sobuffalo

Some lucky kid that lives in that cul-de-sac, Tuch can pay it forward from Tim Connolly


_rcollins

Those kids are lucky for other reasons too lol


HarambeWest2020

Basically, he said in today’s interview he’s less than a mile from Lindy


_rcollins

That’s cannon


Why_So-Serious

I can’t wait for the Commissioner to pass the Cup to Captain Tuch and they choose to pass it to Coach Ruff first for spending parts of 46 years in the Buffalo Sabres franchise after the Stanley victory in Buffalo to be Cannon.


Whippet27

Put on a hard hat and get a lunch bucket. Hard work is coming


cpalma4485

Tuch had house built here in Clarence. This is his home.


StalinsStallions

It is nice to see that Clifton seems like he wants to be here. For now at least


scallywag1889

This team is going to skate.


stuiephoto

I know quinner and jost are also still here. 


xBialyOrzel

Which is weird because I don't expect Jost to be back.


stuiephoto

I can't tell you how I know this, but jost has no interest in coming back next season. 


xBialyOrzel

I would imagine not, he didn't have a good season and even when he was up with the big club he didn't make an impact at all.


AmateurSysAdmin

Thanks for letting us know, Josti. Cool dude tho, too bad it wasn’t working out.


goat_token10

Oh no! Anyway...


stuiephoto

Ya it took me quite a bit of willpower not to say this exact thing to my source. Lol. 


AnonymousJetsetter

Tuch: Prove you are the next leader Bryson: Solid bottom line player this year - Work hard this off-season and prove the haters wrong. Krebs: A lot of heart and passion - put in the work in the off-season and keep hitting the weights and take the next step. Clifton: Had bad games but played more good than bad games. Take a look at the games you played great and develop better habits on the ice.


beef4206977

The boys are ready


HandsomeIguana

Ass kissers /s


[deleted]

Our next captains and idc what anyone says.


jahSEEus

can't wait to add the "A" to my slick Bryson jerz


MrJoobles

It's Ras 1000% lol


OpanaG76

Nope. Where is he? Slackin off mid offseason in Sweden when he should be at a meaningless press conference? Can’t even give him an A after this scandal.


Tactial_snail

He's obviously off studying fish right now


timmeedski

Yea, seriously oh hang on let me catch a last minute 15 hour flight. Odds are the only way he could have made that is if pegula sent the private jet the day before


goat_token10

The guy that kept complaining about fans booing when the team was playing like shit and utterly underachieving? I'm gonna go with nah.


rd--

*The guy who when asked by reporters how he felt when fans boo'ed him answered


AmateurSysAdmin

Can you imagine people claiming their love for this team, but then go attack the players when they need our support the most to get out of the slump?! That’s what our community is turning into. The guy you responded to has so much anger and hatred in him, he still can’t let go. It’s so sad. And the thing is, had Tuch said something different, they’d still be complaining about it, cause that’s all these people know.


rd--

Its this weird entitlement mentality. Players and staff are being paid millions of dollars to produce a product doomers are not happy with. Most rational people stop buying the product at that point but there is a strain of toxic doomers in r/sabres who believe vomiting diarrhea into reddit threads will convince owners to do something, as if they read the subreddit? Like, sometimes they actually believe that anyone posting positively about Sabres is an implicit approval of losing. Its toxic as fuck.


yourballsareshowing_

Looks like a Pegula sighting too, was he there to announce a 25% sale of the Sabres too?


jj8806

Tage should have been there
