Wasn’t making a point, but ya. I alternate between being serious and sarcasm/joking pretty freely and frequently on this board - I understand misreadings of tone are the resulting occupational hazard. I don’t personally block or mute on here, Twitter, wherever. Just don’t like to.

It was a joke. Personal preference of mine. Im not the ignore list gatekeeper

the official song, and lyrics, of this team finally exiting the wilderness after a decade, imo they just drove off and left it all behind ‘em, indeed

See the Wishbone episode for the coles notes If you don’t know who Wishbone is, just dont bother responding to this post and put me straight on block thanks

You already know that no riddle has an answer that scientific

It’s the word I intended, but full disclosure I had to sort of alter the wording of the riddle to fit the reference to “air” - but I think the spirit of the riddle remains in tact and that it’s solvable within the way I worded it

What goes up, into the air, when the rain falls down, through?

Very well done

What is weightless, can be seen by the naked eye, and if put in a barrel, will make the barrel lighter? (1 “awesome” emoji the stakes)

Oh oh wait damn I should have gone with a different Sam Jackson movie can I get a redo: “I’ve HAD it, with these muthaf*ckin Sabes, on the same muthaf*ckin pair!”

Lies! All your account sabrebase now belong to us

“What if I told you...”

They all think I’m hiding in the shadows ..but I *am* the shadows

The top 5 Sabres, imo, that would be selected by way of overall impact, as it stands, TODAY, if the goal was to win a game, TODAY: 1 Dahlin 2 Thompson 3 Samuelsson 4 Cozens 5 Quinn

Pretty much. Another reason why Tage’s breakthrough is more astounding, re: perspective is the age at which they are drafted relative to the NFL. Tage’s 26th overall isn’t really comparable to JA’s 7th overall - even a late first in the NHL is basically a crapshoot, first round nfl draftees are *expected* to be contributors, nm top 10 picks nm top QB picks. Thompson was a “maybe” who progressed to “very unlikely” before proceeding to “undeniable”. The bills drafted Allen *expecting* him to be a starter, regardless of what twitter said Both Thompson and Allen have a crazy rise from “real player” to “among the best in their league” but just playing in the league at all was much more of a question with Tage and became a greater question, by the year, for several years post draft

Cozens, Skinner, Thompson, Dahlin, Jokiharju and Samuelsson would be 6 guys Adams has clearly identified from the group of 15 mainstays from before he was here as part of the future team. Adams appears to have added another, I dunno I’ll give him credit for 5 guys here he appears to have added, to that 6: Peterka, Quinn, Tuch, Power, one of Krebs/Jost (it’s hard to say if both, neither, or 1 will be in a significant role LT so I split the difference. That’s 11 guys, out of a target 20. 7 forwards 4 defensemen ...but, it’s important to remember, as this is the the biggest thing, the half of that 11, that were players Adams “kept”, and properly identified, combined with the half of the 11 he added himself, appear to fill in the top 6 and top 4. This, in short, is why it’s now “go time”. The other 9 spots, apart from goalie (ULLMARK, haha I said it again, I live in the past - a bad fan), are presumably much easier to find than the first 11. Find: 5 bottom six forwards, 2 bottom pair D, 2 goalies Girgs, Asplund, Olofsson, Okposo, Mittelstadt, Hinostroza, lesser of Krebs/Jost present 7 options for those 5 players, upgrade depending on goal as necessary. Depth D is an issue, after a great looking top 4, I’m not sure I see any of the depth D we have being here for long. Maybe Lyubushkin or Clague. Area of need this offseason. Goalie. Ya maybe Comrie one day is a backup. Area of need this offseason

Regier (1): Girgensons Murray (4): Asplund, Okposo, Olofsson, Fitzgerald Botterill (10): Cozens, Mittelstadt, Skinner, Thompson, Bryson, Dahlin, Jokiharju, Pilut, Samuelsson, Luukkonen Adams (11): Hinostroza, Jost, Krebs, Peterka, Quinn, Tuch, Clague, Lyubushkin, Power, Anderson, Comrie

Who the Pegulas didn’t even want to fire. Face it, the Pegulas really do “know a little something the fans don’t”. They know more about hockey than us all Combined, probably
