So, you have never included yourself in a criticism simply to soften the criticism of your intended target?

I think you would need to compare this to the other teams in the league. I seriously doubt that this is uncommon.

Jon Rahm.

Who, specifically, lacks the likeability that you speak of?

I hate you with every bone in my body for this.

It is almost as if the players on the ice is the most important thing in hockey.

And the greatest coach ever to scream at his players flames out at the end. The flyers end up with 87 points. The greatest coach ever gets three more points out of his team than the worst franchise in all of professional sports. 🙄

As I tried to explain, this take is timeline dependent. His press conference was a retrospective on the entire season. Your position is that he knew this in real time AND those issues could all be rectified in a matter of weeks - from the moment of recognition to the moment of saving the season. so what’s the timeline you think would be a realistic between recognition and saving the season?

So what are you angry about here? The timeline? Don was extended after last season. Clearly they liked what they saw at the end, but that changed over this season. I know the attitudes about everyone changes after every shift, but obviously Adam’s opinion needed time to change. So what are we talking about? January or February versus now?

That was the cynical fan take. Occam’s razor suggests that Casey was discussing practicing at altitude in Colorado. If you go back to the days of Ralph, those practices were considered light and everyone raved about Don‘s emphasis on compete in practice.

My guess is that he really didn’t put your cell into his contacts.

This is a super hard decision to narrow it down. So far here’s my process: First, I downloaded and printed out the all-time Sabres roster. Second step: I crossed off every player that was dead. Currently, I’m making a list of the greatest Sabres to wear a specific number. That should get the list down to about 80. After that, I think I’ll head over to hockeyfights.com and then see which Sabre had the best fights out of the jersey list. that will narrow down the list to about five. The last step will be the trickiest. Somehow I need to figure out which of these former Sabres are on blood pressure medication. I know it would be a HIPAA violation to ask, but I need to know who is a really angry person. Preferably someone on the verge of perpetual violence. Alternatively, I will accept a video of a former Sabre bag skating his eight-year-old’s hockey team. The more colorful the language the better. At that point, then you’ll know you’ll have the best hockey coach you could find.

Granato was the 6th longest tenured coach in the NHL.

Anger makes a poor companion to level-headed thinking.

TW is top shelf. He is a rational guy who doesn't get too high or too low with a great ability to distill information over the long term. He also knows people and so he is worth paying attention to.

Fires Ralph. Trades Eichel. Trades Sam. Trades Risto. Hires top-notch analytics team (presumably). Trades for Byrum. Trades Casey. I understand that fans don't think he has done enough, but he has done big things.

I completely disagree. People may not like what they say, but where have they been deceptive to appease the masses?

You are in second place at the quarter pole!

How does someone shoot a 74, but hasn’t applied themselves? I don’t see how that’s humanly possible.

Of people that you may be familiar with over there it’s me, Gugny, Jauronimo, BringBackFregy, Mike in Horseheads, ExiledinIllinois, and GoBills808. Then two of Mike’s family members and two of my family members. I would say almost 50% don’t watch golf at all.

My wife and my daughter are in this. Can’t get more novice than that.

If you want to get into our PGA majors pool, I think it’s early enough we can let you in. You pick two golfers for each of the four majors and you can’t repeat any golfers. Total salary from all eight golfers determined your final score. We have 11 in our group right now. A bunch of us from TBD and two of us have some family members. $25. If anyone wants to join I would need two golfers ASAP to put you on the spreadsheet.

And another one from the guy standing 10 feet behind me during totality.

This guy took pictures next to my car. He did a very nice job. Average Joe Photography on Instagram.
