Before it got to Sam's stick I was yelling "Shoot"!

The "Skinner Situation" just irks me. Geez, why not just sew a red A on his jersey.

Jack woke up.

Agree, don't know what all the whining is about. Lot's of new guys. They needed a few shifts just to get a real feel of playing together.

I'm at attention.

Well it looks like this will be the make or break year for Sam as a Sabre. At least that's how i see it. I sure hope the Sabres can get into a playoff series because I'm so curious how Sam plays in one. I like him and he is steady but I wonder if he can turn it up when needed. I also would like to see a few more game winning goals from him.

No worries. He comes off the books in the 2023-2024 season. Woof.

I'm Happy.

Not according to this in Forbes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferwang/2020/04/16/the-chinese-billionaire-whose-company-owns-troubled-pork-processor-smithfield-foods/#5948d5032c55

Doesn't take much to get drunk up here if you ain't use to it! LOL

It wouldn't hang low if it was hard.

It's not like he bought a new SUV, it's more like he took the old sedan out for an oil change and a wash. I wouldn't worry about it. Let's see how the guy plays the remaining 20 games.

Wonder if Jbot is taking a page out of Beane/McDermott playbook? Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award Winners 2019: Wayne Simmonds , Nashville Predators 2018: Deryk Engelland , Vegas Golden Knights 2017: Nick Foligno , Columbus Blue Jackets 2016: Shea Weber , Nashville Predators

PP time!

..........we shall fight on the blue line and in the crease, will shall fight on the half-boards; we shall never surrender.

It does but it could happen with the huge disparity between the Divisions. There easily could be multiple (3 to 4 teams outside of the top 3 Met Division seeds) in the Met with a better record than the 3rd place Atlantic seed.

A math class will teach him about probabilities. Your not for selling off assets to pick up short term help to make the playoffs, are you?

If JBot still is thinking playoffs he needs to take a math class. I mean he can't, he just can't. He better not be thinking of short term trades.

It will most likely be so. These are the times that tries men's souls.

Well that's that, see you guys next season!

Maybe in the next CBA.

Just about all the reasons the NHL and NFL caps are different to understand is a result of NHL contracts being 100% guaranteed and the NFL contracts are not. The 2nd biggest difference is the rollover of previous seasons unused cap money in the NFL. The 3rd difference is that in the NFL a GM can waive a player and eat all the cap hit for that player in 1 to 2 years. All these differences creates a situation where NFL contracts are written to be generally much shorter in duration and uneven in both yearly cap hits and in guaranteed money (Dead Money) left on the contract. What I believe is bad about the NHL is the inability of an NHL GM to get out of a bad contract. It's mind boggling for me to see that the Sabres still have Cody Hodgson on the books and are tied to a Kyle Okposo contract.
