  1. Good call there. And a very underrated back in Bills history.
  2. If I'm not mistaken, anyone claiming him has to put him on their NHL roster, so this is more of a statement of his desirability as an NHLer more than a statement of his one way contract.
  3. Whoa. I’d guess to clear the infection.
  4. Lol How many pages of wasted energy was spent on Gilmour consternation? You’d think by now we’d be undervaluing or roster pieces, not overvaluing them.
  5. Twice.
  6. Interesting. I live in the core of that district. I see the core here digging in.
  7. My gut is telling me that Mitts isn’t going to live up to his draft potential. Im nowhere near suggesting we give up on him, but the longer this goes on with minima evidence of development, the less optimistic I am. I would 100% support trading him for a good 3C now.
  8. None of the three are ready for prime time.
  9. That MOA line is gonna get crushed methinks.
  10. It’s not like the team has given these forum members anything else to talk about. We are bad today because of what we discuss post ‘07. SDS, might as well close shop.
  11. In here? I don't think there is nearly that much thought put into the use of that word. It's used as commonly as calls for Hutton to be benched. That's like, your narrative, man.
  12. MUST SEE! MUST SEE!!!
  13. *sigh* You too? Don't stoop to this. Narrative is nothing more than an opinion you don't agree with. We all have them. I hate that this place has taken to being so dismissive of other opinions this way.
  14. Someone would have. It was inevitable.
  15. 2012-13. The season with Ron Rolston as HC. Lets call that the beginning of the end. We’re weeks away from calendar year 2020. Call it season 8 since the obvious end of trying to win. 8 years is a hockey player generation. A full career for most players. We’ve wandered the desert for the equivalent of an entire player career. This team hasn't made a correct decision since Chris Drury left for NYR, losing on purpose included. Debate all you want if the tank wad successful. Its success is immaterial as it was a flawed decision to choose to do it, for all the reasons previously mentioned. You want proof it was the wrong decision? The proof is that it is still debated an entire generation of talent after the decision was made.
  16. We're on our 3rd coach now that is catching heat for this team. 2 GM's and 3 coaches now.
  17. The problem with trading Sam (or Jack, for that matter) is that one for one even up hockey trades are rare these days. Usually trading a guy means getting picks, prospects, junk back. The move this guy to get this other, equal but different guy back is a play that just doesn't happen alot anymore. Most folks paying attention are aware that I'm not keen on the crew we've assembled when we were losing on purpose, but I just don't see any benefit to trading them if a Turgeon for LaFontaine deal isn't out there. Which means our best play is signing Sam. Frankly, I like Sam's effort and attitude a whole lot better than Jack's. I think he's underappreciated by more than a few around here. But I still don't think he can drive a line. I do think he's the best complimentary player on the roster though. By alot.
  18. Yeah, dude has potentially life changing injuries and we’re just hoping he doesn’t come back. After Tim Connolly and Pat LaFontiane I’d hope we’d be above that.
  19. 5 injured forwards.... yeesh!
  20. Ron White appreciates the shout out.
  21. It sounded to me like the honest wanderings of a man who was truly affected by the actions of a friend and the end of an era. Full of things to say and at a loss for words all at the same time. I sensed a genuine affection for Grapes there, and a sense of loss. Imagine being forced into retirement suddenly, without warning, and because of the words and actions of a friend. I'm more than a little impressed that he's not expressing anger towards Cherry. It would certainly be warranted. The end of the show was squarely in Cherry's lap. It sounded to me like the network gave Cherry the opportunity to walk his comments back and he chose not to do so.
  22. Who was the owner when the arena change was made? Was it Rigas?
  23. Looks alot like the innocent plays that signaled the end for LaFontaine. I respect the hell outta Okposo. I really hope he takes this as the signal to call it a career. I cringe every time he makes contact on the ice.
  24. Going back to the time when the arena was first built, a coworkers brother did the in arena announcements at the Aud. One of the perks of the job was a ticket to the game. When the team moved to the new arena that perk went away. Granted, this was a couple of regimes ago, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if a ticket is no longer provided.
  25. Wait.... Link Gaetz is in US politics? ?
