I get where you are going but, in a piece about proper mask use it is only good sense to be demonstrating proper mask use. If nothing else, for reinforcement of the message. It’s a public service.

Humans are disgusting when left to their own devices.

Could Eichel actually be the problem with the Sabres?
Weave replied to matter2003's topic in The Aud Club
Did you forget just how easy it was to obtain Jack? This team has been one injury away from doing it again. And again. In fact, they did it again. And they weren't even trying to. Building a team is definitely harder than acquiring a Jack. The last 5 years have been proof of it. -
Make the announcement that Sabretooth lost his love for the game, that way everyone gets irrationally mad at him instead of despairing his loss. Then stage a mock lottery for his replacement, finish second in the lottery, and pick the mascot left over and proclaim him at least as good as the mascot we didn’t get.

I don’t have enough interest to seek out the articles, but it’s been statistically shown that trading down is a BAD play in the NHL draft. Odds of success drop way off as you move down places in the draft until you get to the 3rd round.

Wasn’t he brought in as more of a team president though? And had an assist from Patrick as well. It sure seemed like a mentoring set up. Not the same as the current situation.

So,Russia has weird right wing conspiracy theorists too.

Donald J Trump, your thoughts on his Presidency

Noy sure which ones you are specifically referring to, but there were a bunch of mod dumps. -
You are Kevyn Adams, what are your first 100 days like?
Weave replied to thewookie1's topic in The Aud Club
I thought Ralph had a lot of praise for Taylor. I suppose it could be lip service, but why not say nothing instead if you don’t like the direction? After yesterday I’m skeptical it was about coaching philosophy. -
Regarding those bulleted points: 1. I don’t blame them for not trusting typical outside sources. It gave them Bylsma, Housley, and Botteril. Then again, they’ve probably asked the wrong outside sources. Wonder if the league has been playing them? 2. Regarding not wanting to give term to Eichel and Skinner, I’d love to hear Bott’s rationale. He did come with a cap guru rep. And it’s looking like he was right on Skinner. I won’t criticize that without hearing the reasoning behind it. 3. Yeah, I’d assume I’m getting negative evaluations if Adams was traveling with the team. The guy with the boss’s ear is not the guy you want to see watching you. 4. It will be interesting to see what AHL coaching candidates will sign up now. Have to think that a budgetary blood letting won’t attract the best and brightest.

This is clearly NOT part of their plan.
-
Maybe Casey indicated that was the direction he wanted to go. Or held over a barrel. Poor trade decisions can do that.
-
Someone willing to provide cliff notes?
-
I suspect we can kiss develop-by-winning goodbye in Rochester. Top AHL coaching candidates will go elsewhere because of these firings. Top FAs will go elsewhere without a commitment to winning. Our prospect pool isn’t enough talent to ice a winning team. It looks like Inky’s Friday nights will be spent elsewhere.

Given the frequency that college kids go the full 4 yrs and choose free agency, this may have been JBotts play to prevent losing the kid in a couple years. I think that is the most likely scenario.
-
It wasn’t that long ago Terry was bragging that we will spend to be better in areas that aren’t covered by the salary cap, so I would expect this.

This one wins because it covers 2 bands.

Weave replied to matter2003's topic in The Aud Club
Well, he was on scout's radar as an elite pick that far back..... "Hey Tom. There is this tremendous pair of players approaching draft age. We don't have to pay out big contracts for impact players for too much longer. I've got this plan I've been toying with...." -

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. -
He's the hatchet man for the organization. Hey Pi, you got that one wrong, too!

How has this thread not been resurrected yet? Let's see those vote totals change now.

I've not liked Jack in his first years. It's clearly not Jack right now though. The organization is dysfunctional. -
Ole Sugar Packets is back to haunt us. Next thing we are gonna hear is Terry whining about the gulls shitting on his yacht.

Off to the politics thread.....
