Fake news, the real one has a moose and a beaver thrown in.

Same. I think Kane was playing for the Sabres the last time I watched a period of hockey, Sabres or otherwise. Hang on, having something to contribute here is a prerequisite?

Locking up the tweeners, nice.

Almost all drafts look good 2-4 years later, unfortunately. Rare is the player that gets drafted and then completely washes out immediately. The usual path is more like still good in the CHL for a year or two, then some time in the AHL where they just can't quite make the jump to the NHL by 24 or so. Anyone know how the CHL's no-AHL rules work in this case? Right now, he can play in either the AHL or NHL, but if he starts playing for a CHL team, is he stuck there unless it's the NHL or until he's 20? I'd think he'd sign a CHL contract and then be held to those rules, but maybe a loan changes that.

Have you guys really not joked about "Geez, can't you afford a <thing>?"

I like the old-school look of the whites, but either way. 🙂

This is a good point. The Sabres dumpster fire in net between November and like February sunk the season. Easy to say, but if you earse that part of the season the Sabres are an OK team, a step better than the other teams we're talking about here. I'd think even average goaltending gets the Sabres into mid-80s last year. Those teams made a bunch of moves, but (big) assuming the goaltending next year is average, I'm not sure the other teams' moves jump them 15-20 points up the standings to be clearly ahead of Buffalo.

I don't think I've seen a player go to the dressing room on a dive before. Maybe just a freak thing when he went down after being sucker-punched.

Are there any records from people that don't have a vested interested in spinning the story? Just looking for something impartial.

So a modern Holzinger?

Maybe she just likes the dude. I mean really, painting stereotypes and conjecture into this isn't a great look.

Subban, you're off the carousel ^^^

Fair, I edited my original post.

Treating people with respect costs nothing, you'd think OSP would be all over it. But he (based on this account and the goose follies) appears to be just another rich dude that can't treat people he has power over as human beings.

You don't see a reason for someone writing their own biography to paint themselves in the best possible light on a controversial topic? Truly?

I'm truly very happy for you!

Maybe KA should try asking a question and then staring for 45 minutes. 😉

I work in an environment where I feel 100% comfortable to say, "I F'd Up and this what we need to figure out to fix it." My leaderpeople will understand and work trhough it. I'm betting that's not the case with OSP. If you want open and honest communication with subordinates you don't play mind games with them during a meeting.

That's the next book, "Goose on the Loose: My Personal Bastogne".

Now I kinda want to go back and find that old article with with Briere matched with 70s Paul McCartney and Ovechkin matched with Richard Kiel. Crosby's was good too, but I can't remember the actor (was in some stupid teen-ish comedies in the 00s).

We have new rider, welcome IlyaSamsonov!

Some others don't have NMCs in their contracts, I suppose.

If he's an optimist, Batavia. And that the Sabres (as others alluded to) traded for Fuhr while Hasek was already in the system.
