Only two players in the NHL have more individual scoring chances than Jack Quinn right now. That and other thoughts from the Sabres’ 4-3 win over the Blackhawks. Free to read: www.nytimes.com/athl...

King Terry XVI didn’t even ask why Sabre fans have to shell out $30/month. He just made the deal with DAZN.

Bo Byram is out tonight, tending to a family matter, per Blashill. Korchinski and Del Mastro are both indeed in. Sam Rinzel is the scratch.

Jordan Greenway said he caught up with some of the guys last night for dinner and had a good ole time. He said he's not playing in pain for the first time in a very long time and that's the best news to hear. Guy has dealt with so much the past couple years.

In light of recent news/developments around the NHL, & out of respect for my ability to remember strange things, I’m going to pick this up as a prompt & go with it. It all weirdly ends up tying together, & reflecting pretty well on your Sabres.

In Ross v. Thomson Reuters, it looks like we might have a precedent-setting appellate court decision AGAINST “scraping the internet for AI training data” (stealing IP) being “Fair Use.”

For the DU Pioneers to defend their 11th NCAA title, they have to replace four pros on the blue line. To do so, D(efensemen) U welcomes its most talented, hyped group of freshmen in program history - a quartet of first or second-round picks. www.denverpost.com/2026/10/01/d...

I may bring this up ad nauseum this season. I saw Kulich bazooka home too many one-timers from the RW circle for the Amerks on the power play.

The Sabres activated Mattias Samuelsson from IR and placed Alex Lyon on IR to make room. Olen Zellweger also on IR, but both Zellweger and Lyon can be activated at any time because the IR placement can be retroactive to their injuries.

Went the extra step further than I had regarding Rudolph. Knew Denver is a good program, and Carle is a great coach, but didn’t make the last step to just how many NHL defensemen he’s developed there.

Kim Gordon addressed AI on “DIRTY TECH,” so I asked her about Suno, which lets users generate songs in artists’ styles. I was delighted to finally meet my birthday twin in the final months of humanity. I noted that we share a birthday with Saddam Hussein. She already knew that. Kim Gordon knows all.

Quick #TRRPG talk? Okay! As usual, this week’s “Words Unravelled” relates to the TTRPG hobby. This week, I’m thinking Shadowrun, where (in its alternate-history universe) the Mayans were right-ish. The world didn’t end in 2012, but it did evolve from the 5th World (our reality) into the 6th.

ICYMI (Hockey After Dark): Babcock-era in Edmonton bowed with a 6-5 OTL on home ice to Vancouver in gruesome fashion. Tied at 2, after 2; Oilers fall down 5-2, rally to force OT; lose. Waste an Evan Bouchard hat trick & 5-point night, with Jarry letting in six on 23 shots. Is that Levi’s music?
