K-9

Really looking forward to it this year. Especially excited to see Novikov.

That really sucks. What a terrible way for a first ballot HOFer to go out.

NFL week 1 is a notorious liar and always has been.

I fully understand that other teams have 7th, 8th, and 9th defensemen they hope never have to see the ice. Most 7th, 8th, and 9th defensemen just aren’t good enough because if they were … Anyway, the fact that every other team has less than NHL caliber D men waiting in the wings if necessary does not make me feel the least bit better about our own less than NHL caliber defensemen also waiting in the wings. We all saw what happened in the ‘06 playoffs vs. Carolina, after all.

Nah, they were wrong on Clague, too. He has no business being on an NHL roster. Hell of an A league player, though.

I’d prefer him as a 9 down in Rochester with the Amerks. He might actually dominate at that level.

Some can be a bit lame, but I get a laugh out of some as well. I get that it doesn’t appeal to you or the resident Censor in Chief, but they’re easy enough to ignore if you don’t care for them.

What say you @Buffalonill?

No expectations. None. Except to make a good recovery.

Then you are good to go.

One simply cannot put a dollar value on playing for Donny Meatballs.

This is true except for the eight ABC stations owned by Disney. If you’re a Spectrum customer in one of those markets and you watch ABC programming via Spectrum, the ABC programming is blacked out. Those eight ABC affiliates owned by Disney are among the largest TV markets in the country, including NYC, LA, Chicago, and Philly. Millions of viewers have been impacted.

I hope that fence you’re sitting on doesn’t have any pointy pickets. 😂

I thought about that but didn’t want to come across as unreasonable with my expectations for Devon Levy.

Calder and Vezina winner. Anything less will be disappointing.

Like Cozens last year, JJ will ride the momentum of his great World Championship performance and have a breakout year.

Once again, the tired narrative of Allen being a long shot prospect and that Beane got lucky has come to the fore, so I’ll once again try to set it straight. The only people who thought Allen would bust were some low knowledge talking heads who created the entire narrative around the arbitrary idea that a completion percentage of less than 60% in college meant certain failure at the next level. The truth is, Josh Allen was considered a consensus blue chip prospect by GMs, scouts, and other personnel evaluators. That was told to me personally by three league GMs, several scouts, and a couple pro personnel directors around the league shortly after the 2018 draft. The only question was in what order Mayfield, Darnold, Rosen, and Allen would be selected. Although he blew teams away with his intelligence, aptitude for the game, and physical prowess, Allen was considered the least experienced of the four, which was true, and it was thought that he’d need a year of carrying a clipboard and acquainting himself with the pro game. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it) Allen was forced into a starting role much earlier than desired. And while he took his lumps, it was evident to everyone with half a clue that he was special as has been borne out since. As for Beane getting lucky, it was more design than luck. The Bills and several other teams were onto Allen since his 2016 college season. Indeed, it was reported in some circles that he might go high in the 2017 draft, perhaps number one overall according to an SI article at the time, if he came out after that season. Anyway, Beane had his sights set on Allen and while it was lucky that the Browns and Jets passed, it was a masterful series of maneuvers to move up from the 22nd pick to number 7 in the draft to get the guy they wanted. That took skill far more than luck.

The Kirksey signing will be seen as a difference maker eventually. He’s gonna be starting at MLB much sooner than later. Well done Beane.

😂 Your anti-Pegula rants over the years have led me to believe you know a thing or two about weak sauce indeed.

If the purchase of season tickets for each team is any indication of the individual game ticket buyers for both teams, then there is little overlap as Kim mentioned in March of 2022.
