Broken Ankles

💯. Agree with all you said…just added some lyrics from Bad, by U2.

desperation, separation Condemnation, resignation In temptation, isolation. Let it go.

Yamamoto went 3-0 with a 1.02 ERA in the Fall Classic. He’s just the 14th pitcher to notch three wins in a single World Series and the first since Hall of Famer Randy Johnson did it for the Diamondbacks in 2001. He is the first pitcher with three road wins in a single World Series and just the fourth pitcher to win both Game 6 and Game 7, joining Johnson (2001), Harry Brecheen (1946) and Ray Kremer (1925). Unbelievable performance. Unfortunately I was there to see my team lose to Johnson in that game 7 in 2001. Devastating ride back home through the desert. My condolences.

Tuch is 3 years older than Necas (as the most recent comparable for $11.5m), so it stands to reason that $11.5m AAV would be over 5 years and not 8. If you are forced to go to a higher AAV, so be it, but I thought the point is getting the most guaranteed money? The Tuch camp still needs to find $14.5m after age 35 if they want the equivalent contract of $9m*8, or $72m guaranteed (assuming that is what the Sabres have probably offered). I’d say it’s 30/70 whether injuries or regression prevents a $7m+ type contract in 2032. Even with a growing Cap.

Win just one face off

Just pray it stays that way for the next two minutes.

I said shoulder only when it happened. Frustrating they look at these in slo-mo and still f*@k up a call.

Greenway had a solid first period. Multiple hits, with, by far the biggest open ice hit all year for this team. A key check that freed up the puck on Tages goal. A fight with Wilson - keeping him on the bench for most of the first. Yeoman’s work.

Shoulder only. Bad call.

That rebound was Juicy.

Not sure if I should laugh or call the “woke” police on you….but I’m suuuuper high, so 🤣🤣😏

Please help me with Lindy’s logic on starting UPL? He was planning to play Ellis, didn’t, and UPL was ….UPL against Toronto. Sabres are carrying 3 goalies, and he bypasses Ellis start based a below average performance. Where is the upside?

Below is a snippet of McLeod for just October 2024 vs 2025 - 5v5. Eleven games vs. ten, but a higher XGF, and a higher XGF%. More Shots for and SF% is better. Actual Goals against is 2X (concerning?), but GF is ~60% more. My observation is they are driving play.

Are you factoring in that last year, he played 3rd line 5v5 verses this year playing a true second line? Which means his level of competition is much higher. And how does his offensive production compare to last year? I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the chemistry of McCleod with Tuch and Doan. I was an advocate of having Tuch moved to the first line after the injury to Norris but now I want to see our second line continue to flourish.

3/4X + Y =15 losing years. Y= Delta Bravo Adams

Let the player with the best shot on the ice walk in unmolested. Good one.

Bad angle Kesselring.

Guys with his shooting prowess need to pass.

Another GM, a real GM would. But one beholden to “their” contracts will not. Just think what it would be like to have Rasmus Andersson on this squad at $4.5 instead of Power. A more mature player at half the salary. Your implication is our hate for Samuelson is past tense. Mine is still there, it’s just on airplane mode. Let’s see how long the flight is before I reconnect.

My Dearest Rachel, I take pen in hand this evening by the dim light of a tallow candle, hoping this letter finds you and the children in good health and safe from all harm. It has been some days since last I wrote, for the fighting has been fierce and near constant, and the noise of the guns gives a man little peace to collect his thoughts. The field here is a cruel sight, my love. I have seen men I marched beside since the first muster now lying silent upon the ground, and others borne to the rear with wounds so grave I scarcely can bear to look. Our company has been sorely tried — nearly half are down with wounds or sickness — yet those who remain stand firm, hearts fixed on the cause and the thought of home. Still, we have not lost our spirit. Word came down yesterday that fresh troops are on the way from the North, and supplies, too. When we heard that Corporal Kesselring and Captain Greenway were en route, the men cheered loud enough to wake the heavens themselves. The officers tell us that with these reinforcements we shall soon strike a final blow, and that the end of this terrible business may at last be in sight. Kiss the children for me, and tell them their father fights so that they might grow up in a land where the West of NY is feared and not a laughing stock of the other regimens. Keep faith, my love — victory is near, and I shall soon hold you again. Your devoted husband, Major General Tage Thompson 100th volunteer infantry regiment

Thelma….Zoiks!
