“They just didn’t think I’d leave.” 50 years ago, hours after the #Sabres lost Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final, word spread Rick Dudley was joining the WHA Cincinnati Stingers. He never wanted to leave #Buffalo. He eventually returned and never left: buffalohockeybeat.com/50-years-ago-r…

Joey Bosa is expected miss the entire spring, while James Cook was absent for the first voluntary minicamp practice. #Bills notes galore from Tuesday's practice: niagara-gazette.com/sports/joey-bo…

This policy leads to administration plants like Marjorie Taylor Greene’s dingbat boyfriend, Brian Glenn, getting a slot & asking Volodymyr Zelenskyy why he didn’t wear a suit to the White House. The WHCA would never approve such a hack.

The #Bills appear ready to give Cole Bishop every chance to earn a starting job after showing continued improvement in limited opportunities as a rookie. If that continues, last year’s second-round pick offers a unique combo of size and athleticism. niagara-gazette.com/sports/cole-bi…

Adam Dixon was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer when he was 10 years old, requiring the removal of his right tibia. But that didn’t stop him from playing the game he loved, and now he’s the leader in para hockey games played for Hockey Canada. nhl.com/news/dixon-pro…

If Trump ends the contempt power of judges with his “big, beautiful bill,” no one will be able to stop him. A future Congress would need the power of the courts to enforce their investigations, subpoenas, and laws. It would be the end of American democracy.

Declan Farmer might the best pound-for-pound hockey player in the world. Not sled hockey player. Hockey player. And you can watch him and USA Hockey in #Buffalo in the Para Ice Hockey world championships this weekend. niagara-gazette.com/sports/declan-…

Wrote about what the NHL's 31 other teams can learn from the Panthers' extended run of dominance. Lots of help from Jack Han, an NHL assistant coach, and NHL front office member thescore.com/nhl/news/32928…

Tyler McGregor wasn’t sure of who he was anymore after his left leg amputated because of cancer when he was 15. There’s no doubt these days, leading the way as captain of CAN’s National Para Hockey team. “Best friend, best teammate & the best captain.” nhl.com/news/tyler-mcg…

The Panthers, two days before leaving for the Cup final, made about 83 players (only a slight exaggeration) available for 1-on-1 interviews today and Paul Maurice talked for more than 20 minutes. This doesn't happen everywhere in pro sports. Sincerely, Appreciative Media.

What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill? -Tax cuts skewed to the rich -Medicaid & SNAP cuts -Ends IRS Direct File -New powers for Trump over the courts -Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage It's a big, ugly nightmare.

Declan Farmer, Brody Roybal and Josh Pauls have been teammates for over a decade. That’s led to a bond that’s as strong as ever, and helped lead the U.S. to gold at the 2025 World Para Ice Hockey Championship. “These guys are just freaking special.” nhl.com/news/josh-paul…

The #Sabres lost Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final 19 years ago today. Doug Janik, one of the D pressed into duty, scored a massive goal that could've been one of the biggest in franchise history. I wrote about it when he went in the #Amerks HOF: buffalonews.com/sports/sabres/…
