Broken Ankles

Why wouldn’t he be? He had more TOI last year than Greenway did on the PK. (214 vs 194). Not great results per 60, as noted above, but I can’t see a reason why he isn’t one of the top 4 forwards going forward. Beck even played the PK last night. Maybe Ruff just wanted to see Cozens for himself. I’m no fan of him, Tage, or Quinn playing those minutes.

I do not like Owen and Bo. I would not like to see them grow. I WOULD NOT LIKE THEM HERE OR THERE. I WOULD NOT LIKE THEM ANYWHERE. Would you like them away from our house? Would you play them against Lawson Crouse? Will they skate themselves into the Box? Can they shut down Adam Fox? Would you could you against the Stars? Play them, play them, there they are. Would you, could you wearing the Goat? I will not, please don’t is my quote. I would not could not under Lindy’s reign Do you have a beef with Owen’s Mane? I do not like Owen and Bo. split them, split them, that’s fo-show.

Listening live on WGR and Brawndo still in the future.

Krebs, Adams, Yerdon or @bob_sauve28?

Josh doing Josh things again!

Xavier.

How did I know you were yanking our chains? Matt Ellis would not use Zoom. Too popular. Skype is the Matt Ellis of video conferencing platforms.

My Dad bought two for Dallas in October. Flying in to see my parents mid month and hoping to see Buffalo get retribution for the beat down the Stars gave them at home in March 2023. I was there for that one and it was U-G-L-Y.

Thoughts and prayers to the Guadreau family. I can’t help but contemplate my youth when poor decisions like the one last night to get behind the wheel were made by me. What is the reason there wasn’t a pedestrian to a bicyclist there at the time? Why was I never in an accident even though I risked it dozens of times. I have not had a drink in 25 years but I feel the guilt of a senseless loss of life.

The average NFL team appreciated 10% last year. So TPegs net value of the Bills grew between 350 and 400 million dollars in one year. Not even factoring the growth of his other assets. And yet he can’t spend $8m more on this team. Incomprehensible.

I have ESPN +, but local Duck games are subject to blackout. The regional sports package (Lakers/Kings/Dodgers/etc) was costing $16/month with Direct TV. I was easily paying $120-$150/month with the Sunday ticket, Centre Ice and the regional sports fees. After the NFL moved to Yahoo, I changed how I access everything. Which meant no local sports. What’s interesting is that with all the cord cutting, the Ducks (and others - Dallas and Florida) are forced to sign less lucrative deals in hopes of expanding their market by offering free access. Should be an interesting experiment.

Dream analytics courtesy of Chat GPT “Your dream is quite fascinating and layered, blending elements of sports, punishment, and personal responsibility in a surreal way. Let's break it down: Playing for the Sabres: This may represent a desire to be part of a team or achieve a certain status, especially if you're a fan of the Sabres. It could also symbolize being in a competitive situation in your life. The Penalty: The fact that the dream skips the actual penalty and starts afterward might suggest feelings of uncertainty or confusion about a situation you're involved in. The idea that your stick was caught in the boards might represent feeling stuck or restricted in some way. The Death Penalty: This extreme punishment could reflect a fear of severe consequences or the pressure of taking on a big responsibility. The fact that you're the one who has to carry out the penalty might symbolize a feeling of being unfairly burdened or forced to take action in a situation you’re not comfortable with. The Goalie on the Sofa: A goalie is usually a symbol of defense or protection, so having the goalie sit down and be vulnerable could indicate a role reversal or a moment where you see something that’s usually strong as weak. The small sofa could signify a confined space or a situation where there's no escape. The PowerPoint Projector: This odd object might represent a tool of communication or projection of ideas. It could suggest you're trying to "illuminate" or reveal something about the situation or about yourself, even if you're unsure how to do it. The Ending: The dream ending before the act is carried out could symbolize a sense of relief or avoidance of an unwanted responsibility. It might reflect your desire to avoid a situation that feels too heavy or unjust.” Freud would simplify down to one meaning. Especially coupled with your screen name -latent homosexual feelings.

Get a VPN like Nord or Express and stream Paramount Plus. Not a guarantee to get each game, but you should be able to find a server to access the local market game in a city that broadcasts the game. I think I was able to access all but two games played on CBS last year and it cost me about $8/month.

How high were you that night? JK, outdoor shows can add a unique element that you just can’t get inside. In addition to Artpark, SPAC, Red Rocks and the Hollywood bowl always seemed to generate a welcoming ambiance and energy, regardless of the artist.

Maddy Glib gets four questions for Shakir, I think three were about Coleman. 🤦‍♂️ Are you checking with your producer? Shakir handles it like a champ. Big year for this kid.

Last year at this time Karlsson hadn’t moved yet. Petry and DeSmith are traded twice in August. Smaller deals for Lafferty and Lyubushkin happen before the season starts. The waiting game.

Add the Anaheim Honda Center to your list. Built in 1993 for ~$123m. Unsure of the renovation costs since but the building is superior in most aspects and three years older. Two levels of luxury boxes.

28g, 30a on 70 games played.

Sorry, but someone had to do it.

KA leaving Terry's office after getting fired next April. "But I tried, didn't I ***** it.

But do they? If they sign the player after Year 2 from Junior, you could have another 3 years on an ELC where you maintain the rights, and really not much risk to losing the prospect as they can play in the AHL at a salary of about $70k. It's just a roster spot, and most teams are not up against it with what, 50 to offer? The total cost investment by the parent club might be $210K over 5 years? But the NCAA route, while costing the club nothing, its really 3 years, b/c you really cannot count the 4th year as if a player finishes school, they often just wait the extra months in summer to become a UFA. I like the MLB approach which was mentioned above. If you want to pursue an NCAA career, go for it, but in 4 years, you have to be drafted again to play. You do not get to choose where you want to play.

Greenway had the best GA/60 rate than any Sabre with significant minutes. I expect McLeod and Beck to take the lion share of minutes but the question is who are the forwards slotted for 3 & 4. Last year it was Cozens and Tuch. If Greenway is not part of a trade than I would presume he gets third TOI leaving the 4 spot open. I am more concerned about the deployment of Defensemen. With Mules injury, Power took an excessive number of minutes and wasn’t very good. No new faces, so what’s the plan there? Clifton and Mule? Dahlin and Power. Hope Samuelsson stays healthy?

What is the best guess of how the trade was formed? The Sabres are kicking tires for third line centers across the league and Edmonton says they need Savoie for McLeod. Adam’s says no and looks elsewhere, and makes his selection at the draft. After July 1st Edmonton signs Arvidsson, Skinner, Henrique and others so the Oilers were over the cap and needed to shed salary. At that point, doesn’t Adams have leverage? Wouldn’t the original asking price drop? So is the prospect Tullio what Adams wanted back as a sweetener? Or did he try to offer less (Rosen) straight up and it was denied. Then Adams knowing without a legit 3C (from Ruff and others here at SS) that he has to make a deal, so the prospect was all he could obtain to offset the difference between Rosen and Savoie. Or do I have it all wrong?

Sabres opening Day line up 2023 Skinner-Thompson-Tuch Peterka-Cozens-Olofsson Greenway-Mittelstadt-Benson Girgensons-Krebs-Okposo Dahlin-Samuelsson Power-Jokiharju Clifton-E. Johnson Could be as many as 6 new faces in the forward ranks. Maybe two on D. That’s meaningful turnover. Skinner and Mitts look better than their replacements, on paper. Maybe another move with Joki or another Defenseman.
