"I'm your huckleberry." You're on.

This kid plays fewer than 82 games as a Sabre. I'll put a lunch bet or a $10 charity bet on it against the first taker.

because

1. I've been refreshing TSN rather than here. My mistake. Nice job SS! 2. I am tired out of my mind. I would have been asleep if not for the stupid trade today. 3. Really? No real roster player? A pick that we're going to see wasted on this freaking guy? What an underwhelming day. @LGR4GMyou owe me a drink.

You know me better than that. It's usually chin ups.

I love it when alums acknowledge that this place is special. And for hockey, in the US, it is. Great post by 30.

You don't have a whole lot going on up on the second floor, there, bud?

The kid wasn't smart enough to put a band-aid over a chin zit. If he makes a third pairing in the NHL, ok. He looks like freaking Jonesey but with less attention to hygiene.

I'm listening to the interview on RDS. I can speak and read French, but I can't interpret it by listening. Still, the interview: Q: How excited are you to be drafted by the Buffalo Sabres first overall? A: Incredibly excited. It is a real honor. Q; Are you looking forward to playing in Buffalo next year? A: I will play wherever they plan to play me, in Buffalo or in the CHL Etc etc etc

His ceiling is the third pairing. Not that there was anyone else I wanted the Sabres to take. This draft sux. Oh, and I'm listening to it in French. Which I understand to a point, but I'm getting sick of it.

Yep

Underwhelmed? Not overwhelmed? Just whelmed?

As a rule, I don't know what Fox "News" "hosts" are doing or not doing so I've no idea.

The Sabres got hosed on that recently (was it the Vanek trade?) and need not repeat the error.

I was thinking more Mad Max, but whatever.

@darksabreis a freaking goalie; he is not to be trusted.

BANISH HIM

Ok, who wants to tell her...

Huh what?

@rwesthead Spoke to NHL team exec today relatively new to hockey world. Past experience in NBA. Shocked NHL hasn't seized control of Blackhawks investigation. Sees potential to tarnish team/league image. Exec: "There's no doubt Adam [Silver] would be taking control if this was an NBA team."

It's based mostly on the Buchnevich trade, which makes no sense unless the Rags are in on Eichel, which in turn makes no sense unless the Sabs get Lafreniere.

Bizarre

Oh most definitely.

I gave a thumbs up, but I don't think this thread is going to last much longer. My bet is that Lafreniere will be headed to Buffalo by the start of the draft.

Chyron on Ch. 2 just now: "US sees spike in demand for vaccines." Finally. I hope the growing demand remains.
