Rarely do I come to the defense of Jason Botterill, but it may be that Larsson only was willing to sign for one year, or only willing to sign for one year at that salary.

I think we're picking up on that too. I wouldn't worry too much about the US using emergency powers to keep all the ventilators in the country. Or drinking it, in the case of Florida.

LOL Florida has deemed WWE to be an essential business: https://uproxx.com/prowrestling/florida-deems-wwe-essential-business/ What is it in the water in that state?

Exactly.

Which is fine, but if you're him, are you going to take $2.25M to stay here or are you going to take $2.25M to go to a contender?

Fair point; I do not know how well he fits in.

OK then I hope it's positive--but that you recover. Is your immune system back up to 100%?

Ugh hopefully it is another negative!

That's what I'm trying to say. It will cost the Sabres more to keep him than he will receive from a team that actually is poised to win.

He's not coming back unless he's grossly overpaid

Learning that Taro didn't know something about a hockey player is like learning that Santa doesn't exist.

Not the whole time. If you hover over the 99 in the upper right hand corner, you'll see it: https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/d/dudleri01.html Also, Sean McIndoe had an article about it in the Athletic yesterday, if you have a subscription. (Actually, he had an article about it even if you don't have a subscription.) Edit: Also here; https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/WIN/1981.html

1981 with Winnipeg.

He did. And that's the other one! He wore 99 in the NHL, though, not the WHA.

I don't sniff glue!

ABC is the outlet with this story on my Apple News feed.

Three players have worn #99 in the modern era. Two of them played for the Sabres (although they did not wear that number here). Name them. Taro, please give other people a chance by using the spoiler tags.

Oh no. NO.

Yeah, probably not a good idea when we're all on lockdown. All right, I've received enough messages asking me to reopen. (You do all know that you could just start your own, right?) I guess if what's being said in here bothers you, don't read it or whatever.

Omigosh. NC has taken shrader. He's probably eating at chain restaurants and watching college basketball. We need to go to NC and save him! Shrader, from the several TGI Fridays in Greensboro to the numerous Applebee's in Charlotte, and every shopping mall and strip plaza in between, we will look for you, find you, and save you!

This is very well written, LTS. I, too, preferred Darling to Jeanneret when I was little. He was on TV! TV was the pinnacle, right? But when it came to bedtime, there was no TV. It was the late 1970s and early 1980s, and televisions in bedrooms were a luxury for parents. We kids didn't have them (unless we were really really sick, like chicken pox or something, in which case the portable B&W came in). But radios were ok, so I grew up with Jeanneret. Well, until Mom came in shut off the radio and took the earphone out. True story: I thought the Bruins had a player named "Dork."

There's no college basketball, and chain restaurants are closed, so what do you expect to pass as a news story in NC?

Tre White is a national treasure. He does need a beard trimmer, though. That stuff is all over the place.

Leave.

God called home my Sara, and still I believe.
