Contempt

They failed the pressure away. Of course it's better.

He's not. You're right. But that's a different question entirely.

You're right. They're well run and competent in all phases. I'll be quiet now.

If they can't get a pair of pants how can they do other more complex things? They could have ordered his damn pants last summer during dev camp and had the league cert them in advance.

So that would be option #1. Organizational incompetence.

I realize the shell seems like a small thing, but if they truly didn't have one for Levi that's ridiculous. They've known his dimensions for quite a long time and they knew they were signing him around this time. There's no excuse to not have shells for him and all of these small examples of organizational incompetence matter and I'm tired of excusing them. If they gave him an Amerks shell because he's going to play a couple games with them before the end of the year, fine. If it's some stupid equipment manager BS where you have to earn your NHL gear then that person needs to be fired for being a moron.

There are plenty of beer league guys with those dimensions and Sabres colors aren't THAT hard to find. It's just a shell for God's sake.

Any value UPL had.

How many shells do you expect a team to buy in a year? Lord Terrence isn't made of money!

Hard for Bedard?

FIFY

"You'd like to make a deal today? Let me show you what we got in stock from Sweden. Those others? No, those wouldn't interest you, you're a man of taste and culture. Scandinavia is perfect for you. Hell, you drove up here in a Volvo! Betty, get this gentleman a coffee while we talk about the nice new Swedish forward were going to get him today. We're offering some great deals on trade-ins and I can't wait to introduce you to Terry in financing "

Everyone prefers a big D

There wouldn't be a thread if the team hadn't self immolated.

He needs to stay until he is absolutely forcing his way up as in obliterating the AHL to the degree that it's a war crime to keep him there. If that happens during next season so be it. If not then we revisit at 20.

I'm willing to suck just as hard as them for a quarter of the cost. Let's go Terry. Bargains. Think about how many throw pillows that will put in your yacht.

To be fair, Jimmy's a pretty handsome dude and he's got some coin. I don't think he really HAS to pay now. However, as Charlie Sheen pointed out, you're paying them to leave.

Maybe they need the x-ray glasses.

With more Cups than our sorry ass.

I looked it up, the paper moved to Topeka, Kansas like 30 years ago. It's now in glossy magazine format and sold at farm and feed stores in the Midwest.

They're embarrassing but at least they save me money. Another year of giving them zero money on the way.

and they aren't at 80 points yet.

As they well should. I'm warming up for April 1 already.
