My hazy memory says Perreault once said, probably after retiring, that it would have been better for him if he'd been traded to Montreal in the late 70s for Lafleur. It's been mentioned over the years that the trade was on the table, but the Nixes knoxed it.

Did you like Ronnie Tulip Bulb?

Is anyone really up for the ***** Leafs celebrating playoff wins on OUR ice? Think Boston would host the Yankees?

No wiggle room for it just being sports? Performance art? Was Bryan Cox on your Xmas card list?

Do you know how many crummy Sabre teams made heroic runs in March/April only to suck again in October? We're so desperate for success, we want to believe this is different. Maybe it is. I should let it go. Donny Meatballs (kinda diggin' that; slide into his DMs) is the next coach. The almost dying, the redemption angle, the fine young man, the first-timer who owes them: he's Pegula People to a tee. Well said. I just hope the decision is made dispassionately well after the glow of whatever this is wears off. And I hope it's made by hockey people and not The Fracker and Mary Anne.

There are areas where the owner/s have the right to be Deciders. Decide this, Pegulas. It shouldn't ever happen. But... they do love them some Leafs fans. Gibby said so.

Aboat that name change. @Brawndo

WHILE infected with Covid, he slipped past an elderly lady in the produce department at Wegman's and licked a bunch of grapes. He KNEW she was going to sample one (or seven) of them. If that's not pure evil, I don't know what is.

How many three-game winning streaks did Ron Rolston's Sabres have to end the 12-13 season?

Brawndo issues names a la Rip.

That's unknown. Granato said Eichel was playing through it. The Islanders game was apparently the coup de grace. I've looked high and low for video of the play with no luck.

You know what's sick? Granato said the information about the injury was something they really didn't want "out there" for "player safety" reasons. I shouldn't have to ask this after 46 years of watching hockey, but — what kind of sick people play this sport?

If that happened, or if Jack was cross-checked in the neck, I'll send Terry another card.

Also, Jack's been doing the rapid eye movement thing for a while now.

That was the immediate aftermath of the play behind the Islanders' net on 3/7, Jack's last game. I hope "treatment" didn't make things worse. I don't recall a crosscheck to the neck. I'll try to find the video. It wasn't a big deal of a play. Certainly not a penalty TTBOMR.

Are you talking about the hit on Eichel by Cizikas in NY on March 7?

A hockey team=NHL team?

Does an assistant GM warrant this much excitement? I think it's going to take Rutherford to make me schwing.

Really? People in and around Sabres hockey are talking about it. They leak more than the last White House did.

Saturday, you say?

If the rumors are false, the Sabres aren't doing themselves any favors by keeping Jack hidden away. If they're true, his disappearance makes perfect sense.

That's quite a stereotype. What percentage of young people do you think do drugs? Are we counting pot? I don't think a majority of young people even smoke pot, at least according to reputable surveys I've seen, let alone hard stuff.

Mom's talking to the mailman again.
