Ghost of Dwight Drane

Hey...Murray set the market.... What would Miller and Ott get today?

Say that 5 times fast.....

2-5 he doesn't have any apps! Good call. I looked quick and it looked like a TI-15. Real men have black phones!

Love Murray....stacking coffee empties, a pad, a pen, and a $3 calculator. #Analytics !!!!

I'm all about it. Be decisive. You don't have to "win" the trade. Your goal is to get enough players on a team to reach critical mass in effort/character/skill when it comes time to win those last 16 games. If you have to "overpay" to get there in individual deals....who cares. That's why I wouldn't hesitate giving a guy like Callahan an extra million per year.

That Fashing kid has a heck of a life story. Grown up fast. Sounds like a good kid.

Yeah...that's the one thing that scared me a little. Considering we got a big forward back and are really loaded on D comparatively, I'm ok as long as the big picture ends swell. I fear Weber goes for a 3rd to some contender for the Jay McKee MRSA hedge.....

:)

What is there to let go? We're discussing stuff. Today should be like Christmas Eve for hockey fans....trying to sleep, but waiting to see what is under the tree. Well for me at least, opening the presents today is going to be lackluster because Grandpa just died the other day. The sad thing is, there is some reason to believe Dad pulled the plug on him to inherit his assets. It makes for a very conflicting situation.

When the organization stops it's assault on the intelligence of the fans and begins to understand their fiduciary responsibility in owning a prized community asset, I will then stop analyzing their dysfunction. I thought the enemy occupation was over. I was in full support the past few months. I DON'T have it in me anymore going forward if Nolan leaves. Sometimes you just have to cut your loses and retreat. If Ted has a 3 year deal sitting there and turns it down, that is all I need to know. Everyone is different.

Who's empty chair? Some of the others had to make a sidetrip to Sam's Club to get the big bottle of Jergens....it's a special day.... And of course GR has it's mouthpiece in there. You can still play ball even at a AA level....

Drnkirsh did a nice job there. I have no problem with anyone here questioning those things on either side. What I did take offense to was the parading of concussion, crazy talk coming from the staff at GR, who gets 70% of their revenue off the Sabres, in a seemingly organized fashion. The tweets were from multiple people in the same timeframe...then the convos start. Pat Lafontaine has been silenced, and you had the Sabres management present their side. For some of us....we spent 16 years in prison, got released, and 3 months later the parole officer takes us back to jail without any due process and won't tell us what we're in for. The talk is calming down and should end. I've decided that I am following Ted Nolan's lead. If he decides he is able to work for the team after what happened, then that is good enough for me. After watching his reactions, I know he is having a time with it. He is my proxy. He goes, I do. My heart is already out of it for this team again.

Uncle Vito is old school...."Hey, you wanna make a few dollars doin dis or dat....go rydahead....but there are some really sick puttanas these days. There used to be some decency...a code......you wouldn't think of protecting some degenerate no matter how much cash was involved.... You'd stop it yourself....Ahhh...you and your friends be careful on that interweb. The world's gone pazzo." I asked him about coal, and he goes, "Cole Hamels?...no pitch for 2 weeks."

It's poetic license for a joke. I'm guessing 19-23....you are in school, right? I guess you haven't read the news the past few weeks.....

Well then THERE goes the joke.....Thanks!.... ;)

I'm sure Benson would give you the tip....you're still in your teens....

Hodgson and Ehrhoff for Gibson and a 1st Myers to TOR for Kadri and 2nd Moulson, Stewart, McCabe, 2nd to Ottawa for Lazar and Ceci Draft Eckbald or Reinhart... Boom! 2 years your team has Gibson/Enroth, your centers are Girgensons, Kadri, Lazar....your defense is Ekbald, Zadorov, Ceci, Pysyk, Ristolainen, McNabb...and you have 5 other 1sts and 2nds over the next 2 years and UFA where you have $30 million to add to the wings.... See you in 2016! :)

All I know is the Sundowner is about to get a bumper crop of reinforcements in a few years if this keeps up......

Here's the deal now with all this Pegula hiring of Alumni....There are probably 30 guys on the payroll that are downtown for various reasons...scouts, coaches, broadcast, foundation, hockey academy, etc. The majority of them played with Lafontaine or were in the league when he was. While you don't want to bite the hand that feeds you, and even I will agree it is great how Pegula wants these guys around and treats them....they aren't going to sit back and let Patty get shelled. They have to be careful about it, and some may know more than others, but you can only tote company line with a straight face for so long.

Aaaaaaand...in before the lock....

Russia sends up an ICBM a few hours after the US says they prefer diplomacy but will be forced to do something if Putin continues.... The US says the missile was planned before all this. So, you decide to threaten them a few hours before it goes up? This is getting close to LaLaGate in drama....

I just found my elementary report cards. Unsatisfactory in spelling....

Sorry...it was a Lindy joke about something he said today. And there's nothing to buy on Lafontaine. I laid out what could happen when Battista first came on. It happened. Pegula protected Darcy tooth and nail for 3 years as 90% of the fans were screaming for his head....if he really is the guy he says he is, he would go to bat for Patty or help him through any problems. That's how I know a few of the stories getting floated are bubkus. Fool me once, shame on you....fool me 17 times......

Ya don't say?
