Yeah, that was a weird comment given Sam's point totals to date.

Good result but I hate that drop pass play

Player jamming away at a puck in his pads. Not harms way. I liken it to a power forward giving a Jeff Skinner space to do his thing.

My recollection was the sale was well underway and he was calling the shots at that point.

Gotta say it. I miss this. Came to is goalies aid. Sent a message. Juiced up the troops. And entertained the hell out of the fans.

Wat? That so called terrible franchise had one of the best all time records in the NHL. The goat heads were a cash grab by a new owner who happened to be a white collar criminal that would eventually drive the Sabres to being operated by the league. Those unis should be vilified for that reason alone.

Dammit.

LOL

This one happened about 45 minutes ago. My heart rate is still up and I'm still pissed. It's snowing pretty good today, on top of a good layer of ice overnight. My employer closed the office early today so folks could drive home in the day light. I'm on a farirly heavily used east-to-west running state route in a rural county. 2 lanes, 55 mph speed limit. Traffic is light given the weather. Plows have not cleared this stretch yet but it was obviously salted some time during the day. There are two stripes of bare road showing from everyone's tire tracks. Outside of those two wide stripes of bare road is 4-6" of heavy, slushy snow. I'm doing 60mph. Probably too fast for the conditions. Butt there is noone in front of me as far as I can see. A big work pick up truck comes up from behind and swings out to pass. With 4-6" of slush between the lanes this is pretty stupid. And of course, halfway through his pass a car coming the other way crests a small hill in front of us. He cuts the pass short, and re-enters our lane maybe 10' in front of me. In the process he threw up a solid wall of slush onto my windshield, completely blinding me. I have no idea if he needed to brake or not because all I can see is brown slush. I reach for the wipers and jam on the brakes pretty hard. 60mph and can't see a thing is a really ***** scary combination. My Jeep starts to fishtail and I hear the rumble strips under my tires, so either I'm onto the shoulder, or crossed the center of the road. I don't know which. I still can't see. By now I am mother ***** this guy at the top of my lungs. He must have re-entered the lane slowly because that wall of slush was 3-4 seconds long. He tiptoed back into the lane, spraying my windsheild with a wall of brown the whole time. I got the car slowed and the windshield clear and I was straddling the center stripe with an oncoming car 300' or so and closing. I get the Jeep back into my lane and I am still yelling obscenities at the top of my lungs. I haven't been so angry in years. Maybe decades. For a brief period of time I sped up to chase this idiot down. I din't have a plan for when I got there, but really wanted the confrontation at that point. A mile down the road and reason started taking over and I slowed down. Another mile down the road and I passed a Trooper going the other way and I yelled at him, "where the ***** were you 2 minutes ago"? Half a glass of Weller down and I'm still wound up. What was so God damned important that you risked my life to get there more quickly?

PA wasn’t commenting on genuine-ness of the folks that post here. It was about the “look at me” of the folks here. Everyone here has an element of it.

Great. Now I’m questioning if I was on the wrong side of that discussion.

I remember it this way as well. The folks that understood RORs comments to be disappointment at another lost season and not abandonment of the team were a definite minority around here.

*Schraderenfreude

I’m confused. Link? or maybe thats a bad thing to ask for.

Wanted him run out of town? I don’t know. I don’t subscribe to the Athletic. I do remember Harrington and Gleason lamenting that he was traded instead of fixing the real problem.

I think this is a very good take. Did Sam’s lack of effort at the end of the game make a difference, or even reflect on him as a player? Probably not to any great extent. Was it a case of really poor optics, especially after a diatribe about effort? Hell yeah it is. As Neo states, he deserves some level of team response for it. Whether or not there is a response should say alot about whether the right locker room environment is present.

Pout. Good Freudian slip.

I don’t remember the media being the clowns trying to run ROR out of town. I remember a big chunk of the fanbase being the clowns that wanted him out.

Most interesting.

I don't agree with Pi often, but when I do it is because he says something like this.

Yup. Twice.

I may just throw my support at him because he would represent a changing f the guard.

It sure would be nice. I'm not betting on it.

Lets face it, those cat videos ARE more entertaining than the on ice product right now.

And a pedant. *checked spelling twice*
