Samson's Flow

This is my thinking as well. I think we have a handshake understanding for Vegas to take Moulson given cap and reclamation project. And Kulikov will be a focused recruit as a FA for Vegas.

Also, I know I might be slow on this one, but now our HC and GM are both former Sabres. Pegula meddling/fanboy or just a fun coincidence?

I'm cautiously optimistic as well re: Bogo. I still remember him being a beast when we first traded for him and he ate 24 minutes a night.

Correction - 3 hours ago... :doh:

Yeah what a jackass comment. Housley handled it well.

Give the people what they want :thumbsup:

Sure did. Maybe that was a slip?

Glad you approve :wub:

Exciting - I wasn't expecting an announcement until the weekend, but from the speed of this decision Housley was JBott's guy all along and they were just waiting until the playoffs concluded. It's very rare that the guy I pick as my #1 choice actually gets the job, and we will soon see how clever all of us on SS are with our coaching picks. #BetterthanBylsma :w00t:

I feel like the meeting of the parents was only really significant when you were in high school/younger. Back then we were all little sh!ts and meeting the parents was intimidating as not many adults tend to like teenage boys, especially ones trying to get with their daughter. Otherwise you could still "date" a girl by just hanging out at the mall or going somewhere, but once you met the parents you were more official.

I think the unique first name is why fans call them by first rather than last. Names like LeBron, Kobe, Tyrod etc. are unique enough where they can be easily identified. Especially since as I read the last names of those three (James, Bryant, Taylor) I realize that they are about as a generic as they get :o

Work has been nuts this week - amazing what one week of vacation can do to your workload when you return. So I am really looking forward to this weekend's golf tournament up in Niagara County, should finally have good weather and basically a continuation of my Myrtle Beach golf vacation last week. :flirt:

One could argue that they are the only players on the Cavs (that matter), so I stand by my statement.

I was coming to write exactly this, so I will just quote you :thumbsup: Housley is my choice to improve the defense and focus on team offense. Tocchet scares me because his character issues of the past send a mixed message counter to the message from the Bills/Sabres/Pegula organizations that we are going to win with high character guys.

Last night they did everything possible to win that came until the last ~3mins. If they can't win at home with LeBron and Kyrie playing at their best, then this is truly over and likely a sweep. The Warriors took the Cavs best punch and still pulled out the victory. At least the game was close/watchable...

Let's also keep in mind that GMTM was the guy who loved Kane and brought him in to the team. With Botterill in town, he doesn't have ties to any of the players here, so he may be more willing to part with an asset on a short term contract to improve the makeup of the team as he sees fit. I personally didn't want to trade Kane going into this offseason, but the offers mentioned are pretty tempting and I am coming around to the logic.

Yes I heard it this morning in the news of the day segment. I found it odd that Shredd & Ragan would be breaking news like this without the sabres making an official announcement, but good news is good news.

Meeting got cancelled and rescheduled to next week due to "expected poor attendance" WOOOO!!!! :beer:

Got the email for early dismissal from work today, so everyone gets to leave at 3pm instead of 5pm. Except for me - I have a 3-5pm meeting with the CIO and her directs. FML :death:

The guys on 103.3 this morning mentioned the new Sabres jerseys and claimed that part of the redesign will be moving from Navy to Royal blue. I haven't heard this confirmed anywhere, but they seemed to be stating it as fact rather than opinion. Would be nice if true.

Good to hear that this is officially official. Early on I was worried that the GMTM shakeup would lose our chance at getting Antipin. We need as many options as we can to improve our defense, so bringing in a 24 yr old who has already had successful years in the KHL is definitely worth the price of admission.

Remember when we were all excited to get rid of the goat heads and go back to blue and gold? remember? It can get worse before it gets better. Hopefully this change trends in the right direction (like it sounds like it will) and not towards the sluggalo direction.

Agreed. The best spot is 20 rows up in the 100's on the aisle. It doesn't get much better than that. The seats Tom Webster got us for the last meetup were prime. :thumbsup:

Cool I guess? Wiki says he has experience as a GM, although doesn't sound like he was very successful in that role:

That's what I get for trying to be brief and not explaining it all. Yes It's my wife's sister's boyfriend. Sorry to disappoint, by my family does not routinely go on the Maury Povitch show for crazy family in-breeding :whoops:
