Weave

Damned if i can remember what it used to be called, but that pub always got all of my pregame dollars pre-MMA. Its a bitch getting old.

Nope.

No argument there. Except Gionta. I though the was a good choice that Jack and Sam just weren't interested in listening to. IMO the big problem was that they sprinkled in just a couple of mentors amongst a very poor team. I wanted to see the Sabres do to Eichel what Pittsburgh did to Crosby, fill out the team with a bunch of playoff proven vets, not just a couple. Eichel was more than willing to brush of Gionta. He would have been much less likely to brush off Gonchar, Recchi, Leclair, Mario, Palffy, and Malone.

I’d argue that mentors were the most crucial of improvements.

What I have noticed is, the rude behavior is most prevalent on flights home. What I mean is, on the way out of Buffalo or Rochester things are usually fairly orderly. I’m usually on an early flight to a hub and its mostly business travel I’m guessing. The connecting flights have a little less orderly behavior. But the flight home, being into either Buffalo or Rochester, is almost everyone going home (cuz who travels to WNY for kicks, right?) and I think it is just people being absolutely done with traveling and impatient to get home.

I think that’s pretty a normal response to a guy now meeting expectations.

And I think this is where the fan frustration comes from. They do have it in them to play solid every game. This game was well contested. We didn’t get NYI on an off night. Solid, respectable win. Do it again.

Oh, joy. Another daily med.

We must be using the same stream. Mine's dead.

We need the Sabres equivalent of Tony Romo, a recently retired, cerebral player who was integral to the offense. Most likely a center. We have those is spades, right?

Nice set faceoff play.

I've seen all of 2 minutes so far and 'm not liking the intensity, and I def didn't like Dahlin short arming that pass behind the net from Pilut.

Boy, "structure" can be taken so many ways. I'm not sure most of them would reflect well on PH.

Wow. I don't remember that one, and I thought I held a grudge against all the brutality committed against Sabres.

Ribbon candy or I ain't playin'.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I may just make time to meet you yahoos after the game.

When was the last time there was a 3 way trade in the league?

I’ve been calling out for mentors for Jack and Sam for 3 years now. I guess it took the current state for the idea to get some traction.

Lol no. John Kling. RT

Made me look.

You got that from my user name, didn’t you?

Is that even in doubt?

I'm guessing that Phil is expecting Hunwick to be a better choice against a more physical team?

It will be interesting to see how Buffalo reacts to a much more physical team. Especially with Bogosian out.
