Dillon Dube as well.

Thank you for the mention. I agree with all of the other mentions and would like to add @LGR4GM, @JohnC and I miss @Eleven and @deluca67

He gets way too much credit for the first Super Bowl over the Bills. I think they even have his game plan notes in the Hall of Fame. What is fact is that the Bills scored 20 points in 19 minutes of action. It was the Giants offense and it’s controlled domination that beat the Bills that day. All that being said, like everything, the answer is somewhere in the middle. You can’t blame him for everything before or after Brady but give him no credit for the Brady years. In my opinion his best quality was being able to adapt and bring a year or two ahead of everyone else. He won with defense and a running game and then he won with throwing the ball all over.

As I said in another thread, I think Levi can be a very good back while he learns to adapt to an NHL schedule. UPL looks like something changed the last couple of weeks. He’s much more under control. I’ve heard people downplay his play by saying it seems leek the pucks are just hitting him but that is precisely the point, he’s now more in position to make the save. UPL becoming a legitimate starter would be a game changer, one i admittedly did not see coming.

I’m with John here. Levi has shown he can be very good with a workload closer to what he is accustomed to. I know the obvious response would be that playing in the AHL will better indoctrinate him to a more strenuous workload but I disagree and as John stated, if Levi playing every fourth game instead of Comrie is better for the team, then it’s gotta be Levi whether you think the season is done or not.

Former Mr. Hillary Duff, Half-brother of a Eric, heir to a fortune and a perfect example that talent without drive doesn’t amount to much. Barnaby is poster child for the “men with some money can get away with anything” crowd. Ill find my way out, thank you.

Feels like this is were I remind everyone that salary cap is going up $4.2M next year and is expected to skyrocket in the next five years.

Will be 64 in February

The one problem with this is that the power play was horrible for most of the playoff push. Things started to turn in the wrong direction around the halfway point of last season and the team won in spite of it.

As was the Islander’s owner before him. Pat’s behavior was erratic, mood swings legendary. He’s just not cut out for the job. No matter who the boss is, how hands on they want to be, you have to at least pretend to listen and respect their opinions. Marv Levy once said the greatest advice he ever got was when Mary Wilson told him to just “talk to Ralph.” Once you earn their trust, you learn how much latitude you have.

Pat LaFontaine is a great man. Pat Lafontaine is not a hockey executive for a lot of reasons. Quitting two jobs in a huff should give you some insight. Sorry, this one isn’t on Terry, as much as some here want it to be.

Yes, I was hoping he would do this.

If you were an 18 year old employee making a six figure salary would you tell a company vice-president you wanted to leave for a couple of weeks?

I understand the arguments both ways and my emotional decision was not to send him because it implied to me another sign of not being serious about winning. My feelings have since changed. He should have been allowed to go.

I am not sure why all the angst. Sabres game will be through at least one period and the way this year has gone, you’ll know the outcome by then. To answer the question, both, but whether the second monitor is on will depend on which version of Sabres is playing tonight.

Thanks. It’s been a long couple weeks

Am I missing something? Tied for 18th?

I have two free tickets, if anyone wants, pm me an email address

You might want to let Mike Sullivan know.

Assuming availability with regards to injury is equal, , Quinn will be better but they are extremely fortunate to have both.

And of course now they’ve come all the way back.🤷‍♂️

I’m pissed. Besides the way he handled Kane, to say he is considering letting Benson play for the Canadian junior team during a season where they are supposed to be trying to actually win is beyond believable to me.

The General Manger already quit on the season, why shouldn’t the players

FWIW, I seldom, if ever, take anything personal, especially regarding interaction on a message board. Also, I don’t have to ask, I know I am the as..ole more then my share of the time.

He didn’t want to be here just to sell tickets and ride off into the sunset. He had options and he wanted teams to convince him that they had a plan for him and for the team. Adams once again couldn’t close the deal. It’s becoming a refrain. He decided they aren’t serious about contending this year and he took less money to go to a team clearly trying to get better. It doesn’t hurt that he has some friends on Detroit. He wants to win and the money wasn’t the number motivating factor. It doesn’t even mean he’s right. Players sometimes are the worst judge of where teams are headed.
