Contempt

So what are we thinking. 4-1 final or 4-0?

Ready for me to blow your mind? The kids don't use Twitter either.

Because losing Bryson isn't a loss.

That's pornography.

That move was just dirty.

A couple of us said when he got called up this time if he doesn't take hold of the job now he probably never will. That's kind of where he's at.

He hasn't been "that guy" since the World Juniors, but yes.

He's one of the only players I can get anything for to fix the glaring holes on the team and his timeline/contract status doesn't match their apparent timeline. I have ZERO desire to pay Olofsson as a 30 goal scorer at age 28. He's going to be looking for dollars AND term to essentially be Ales Kotalik. No thanks. It was just yesterday that half the board was calling for him to be benched because his play was so poor.

I definitely want to trade him though

Yes, but not now.

Put a fork in em.

But does he drive play? <Scurries out of room giggling>

It's known as the "Steve Bernier"

It's funny you say this. My kid's club team tries to run a 1-3-1 most of the time and they have the same problems the Sabres do. This weekend they changed up the power play unit and put my kid on it and he immediately brought the puck behind the net, found a guy in the slot and they scored on the pp for what felt like the first time in weeks. Sometimes just changing it up and giving everyone a different look can be enough to get it going.

Money is an asset. I wouldn't be interested in signing him either and if he'd be interested in signing in Buffalo I'd be extremely suspicious that we'd be writing a big early retirement check.

Spending assets to acquire Kane is fruitless. The team needs defense and goaltending and he is neither. Also, why anyone thinks he'd be interested in playing for a team that's as bad or worse than the one he's currently on is beyond me. If Kane goes anywhere it's to a cup contender closer to the deadline. The only way Buffalo is involved in that is to eat contracts in exchange for assets which, while a topic we constantly bring up, is not something they've done.

When he spoke of Hockey Heaven I didn't think that meant he'd kill the franchise and taunt us with its ghost.

That's fine. I'm "in no hurry" to extend him. The point of a veteran captain is to shepherd a young team through this crap and help keep the wheels on the bus. Well done Kyle. Well done. Trotz wouldn't take this job. He doesn't have to.

Or he's a chicken

Pat LaFontaine was smarter than all of us.

First time for me. Sitting in a Hampton Inn in Parsippany. This was better than the Sabres.

Pitch Perfect is on USA. Anna Kendrick is very enjoyable.

To be fair all we do with the modern game is lose so why not entertain our bloodlust instead?
