SABRES 0311

Jack Edwards sounds very choppy. At least it’s both ways though.

So, all we have right now is an instance in 2006 where he made players ride the bus in their gear? Anything in the last 17 years since to corroborate the bad guy labeling?

I’m also interested in Kulich Mitts Tuch. Could be something if he makes the team.

JJ with a breakaway. Gets stopped after a nice move but sticks with it to score off a goalie bank shot. Good hands, awareness, and composure.

He seems to genuinely mean what he says about being happy in Buffalo so far. Reiterated his purpose to help on the defensive side of the game. Nice to see he understands his role and importance. Maybe he ends up with Dahlin and Muel with Power. We’ll see.

I agree, good things have to happen. This includes a few winning streaks and hot streaks in net. Likewise, a few bad things need to be tampered down. Eight game losing streak cannot happen. This offensive juggernaut we have needs to be able to transition to team defense when the puck is in our zone too.

I assume it’s just an inquiry. The Sabres have a lot of offensive capability. The fix is on keeping the puck out of our net.

This thread is Mike Babcock approved.

I doubt there will be a way to track every penny. Iran has Russia to back them in a region where power vacuums are developing. I’m sure Iran will think of creative ways to use that money.

This event and Babcock making Marner call out teammates when he was in a junior role is not coincidence to me. It seems Babcock tries to get people to do less than normal things. Either he is detached from reality or it's his way of imposing authority. Sort of a "no matter what, you will do as I say." Then again, I am not in the room, and I do not know the guy.

If a boss wants to get to know a more personal side of an employee they can arrange events that promote it or learn over time as the relationship develops. In all my years of being in different leadership and subordinate roles I have never encountered this and never heard it be promoted as a leadership tool. There’s a difference between a picture on a desk that is already physically accessible in the workplace and asking to gain access while holding a position of authority. The perceived position of authority to gain access to something one does not possess is a form of social engineering.

Yep. Babs needs therapy or something.

According to what I read, Babcock asked players to share photos off their phone to get to know them better. Absolutely weird.

The PP in the second period had Rosen trying to find Kulich about three times. Good vision to see him on the far side but maybe shoot it instead of trying the same thing over and over.

Must Win!

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna104474 $6B goes a long way if you are pursuing weapons grade Uranium enrichment. It’s a good thing Iran wouldn’t do such a thing. That would be bad especially if they were a major Russian ally in the Middle East.

When I first saw it I thought they were Xs and was confused. Then I saw a closer look and think it’s cool.

A very recent example would be AI as part of the fourth industrial revolution. What seems to be a prominent concern is AI reducing the job market and yes, a Terminator scenario. I think it is way more likely AI effects jobs than birthing Skynet. I sympathize with the concern over AI and the job market. If you are a programmer in your 20s you might want to diversify your IT skill set IMO. On the other hand, I think AI will lead to an increase in other IT jobs such as Net Admin, help desk, engineer, Sys Admin. AI should provide incentive for people to get an advanced education. This doesn’t have to be an overly expensive process. You can watch a YouTube series and pass a Sec+ A+, Net+. While it still remains a human position, programming is a good skill to have. There are free sites that will teach you Python as well. I think AI can/will have a positive impact on society. People need to be willing to pursue those fields though which in part means having an aptitude.

Very beginning he talks about playing their game. This is simple but good advice for a young team. Don’t worry about where other teams are in the standings, focus on the next game.

Agreed. Aside from splitting up line 1, Cozens, and JJP this is the likely outcome.

One more "MAGA scum" and I am posting a Star Wars meme. 😆😆😆

I can see this being the opening night roster.

Some people bring up a good point about aliens being able to or having to travel many light years to Earth. All I can say is that any issue about the time it would take is based on our understanding of physics and the nature of the universe. We humans might be missing some knowledge. After all, flat Earthers are a thing.

I need everyone in this thread to look closely.
