Aren’t there 8 other teams to worry about, as well?

That’s because the games that they played didn’t matter. Maybe. Probably depends on his linemates. There may not be more up for him, but his down might not come for a while. His game was never built on speed (no, he’s not slow), it’s based on hands and head and size. He’s not going to lose any of those to age so he could hang out here for a while. As to the thread, I think it’s interesting to ask if the Sabres have improved, but I think it’s a red herring to use the opening night rosters to answer the question. Especially because the direction this team has chosen is that they plan on having most of their improvement happen from within. Are they better? Absolutely. Heck, they were better by the end of the season. Are they better than the end of last season? On defense alone , I would say yes. The rest?,… cautiously optimistic.

This. A lot. I remember switching over to some late game after the Sabres had played and being surprised at how much worse the hockey being played was, by both teams. It was years since that happened. As to the second paragraph, if you don’t think that what Cozens, Samuelsson, Tuch, and even Dahlin bring to the Sabres is what we were talking about, then you were hearing what you wanted to hear. I still need to see it at the beginning of the season to be convinced.

I’m drinking it, but like Westley in The Princess Bride, the past twelve years have built up my tolerance to whatever cyanide they may have put into it.

What a load of crap. He stole ***** nuclear secrets. It’s unbelievable the lengths his sheep will go to to defend his actions. Main stream media,… oh brother. Give me a break.

You’re kidding, right?

In my opinion, he was/is the greatest threat to the Constitution that we have seen, maybe since the Civil war, and certainly since McCarthyism. I was/am quite proud (as an American) that it held up. Lets hope it keeps holding on.

Awesome time. I just went past the boat launch. There were 21 vehicles. Next time we’re hittin Irish Mafia afterward.🍺🍺🤘🏻

I can understand why people might hate those jerseys, especially if you are a hockey traditionalist (not saying you are). Changing your teams colors, I get it. The jersey designs, themselves with no logo are kinda schlocky. But that buffalo is one of the coolest designs in all of sports. To say it barely looks like a buffalo(bison) is baffling to me. Its the most real looking bison on any Buffalo jersey ever.

It actually reminded me of the Drury 7.7 goal. Every time I watch that, I’m surprised by how much he lets it breath. It’s pretty awesome.

I’ve had enough of these 100+ heat indices. I replaced the rear pads and rotors on my truck today. Because of the 100 degree temp and me still not wanting to push it, a job that should have taken about an hour took over 5 1/2 hours. Lots of breaks and sitting. Lots of water, too,… lots. Summer sucks. I’m ready for fall.

Yes. Standards have changed in the future.😂

All I know is that when George was 24, his 17 yo wife was giving birth to their daughter.

THC. Both medically and recreationally. Today, it started out medical. Ate a gummy. First time my stomach has growled since February. It turned recreational. First time I’ve felt somewhat normal in a long time. It was a good day.

Totally fine witth it. 😂

Do you think that all 30 are telling the truth? If not, what percentage?

Well, then. He must have done it then. SMH. I honestly don’t know what the right outcome should be. Is he guilty?… then never play again. Is all this BS and he innocent?… then no games. The point is, we don’t know. I just find it curious how people’s standard of proof varies depending on the situation or person. One story and he’s an easy target. It’s an easy story to copy and even easier to embellish.

I don’t know Farscape.

I didn’t know you were a Battlestar Gilactica fan.

Thats a really dumb statement.

So, allegations are all it takes now for someone to be guilty. k Funny how it’s convenient when it’s convenient.

Oh, wait,… I just remembered I don’t care. 😂 Gotta stop reading this board with coffee and just go kayaking. Call me when we’re in the playoffs.

As @dudacek pointed out to me (that I think I finally understood this very morning), the cap situation would be no different. By doing what he did, it frees up a roster spot for an actual player.

I keep investing in the NJ Lottery.

This has to stop. It would have been a failure with or without Ruff. Also, Lindy’s results, post Sabres, weren’t much different than when he was here. In fact, they were the very results that convinced people that we needed to go scorched earth and do a GD stupid ***** Tank. I say it was a mercy done to him by letting hime go.
