Marty is the better analyst but Ray has a role as the on-ice guy. He is good at that and his humor helps. I would make it a three person team during the game and limit Ray’s input. Also, improve on the Dunleavy PBP. Get a guy that keeps up with the game and has better calls. RJ called the play.

Nice interview Tage. Well done.

The extra two sucks. But Gilbert had to answer.

He is heating up. Keep shooting.

They were good but I’d separate them and play them with Tuch and McLeod. Against a good PP you will need the long reach to take away passing lanes. I think Kozak is going to score today.

Two things so far. I’m surprised the Kracken did not challenge. Lafferty has no celly

Nice. That what I’m talking about.

Good afternoon Teammates, A home game and a Kids Day. I hope they show up. These are the games they should really want to win. They better come out flying.

I am going 4-1 Sabres.

I hear ya. I just don't see that the Pegula era has seriously ever tried to win.

Seriously, you are providing good information but to be 100 % correct don't all the teams (variables) have to be of the same quality? I get that 14 years is along time - in that time period Florida was a bottom feeder (they picked Ekblad 1OA), a Presidents Trophy winner, a Cup winner, and all the points in between. NJD has gone from bottom feeder to contender. Tampa and Boston seemed to be in it every year. Buffalo has been at the bottom every season with only two seasons (the Covid special year and the infamous 91 point season) that they were even in the running in March. So, the inputs to your statistical analysis are not the same. There is no factor for the quality of each team in each year. Not every team is random input, at the start of each season there are teams with much better odds. I bring this up because for most of the 14 years the Sabres have not even been trying to win, so why would they even count as a possibility to win other than random luck?

Well that is my point. He DID get 100 points and now he is a very wealthy 60 point player with a bad attitude. Why is Vancouver shopping him? Cozens and a mid tier prospect and then I am liking it.

But who is EP? A playmaking 1C capable of 100 points, or a soft floater that doesn’t show up every night and gives you 60 points?

“I at least got two people to agree with my post, you got zero”. This is funny stuff. Thanks for the morning laugh. My coffee tastes even better now.

Power/Byram + Cozens for EP is a joke. Power > EP , no deal can be made on an even trade Byram = EP , straight up Cozens + mid level prospect = EP

Wow. Excellent collection. Same. Excellent collection. My son loves his SG. And that is the beauty of the old stuff. The hand wound pickups are unique as are the other parts used. Can’t get that sound now (although with today’s tech you can probably come up with pedals to get close.) I took my Telecaster to a luthier for a re-fret. He had to razor cut along both sides of each fret before popping out the frets because he did not want to break/crack all the layers of finish on the maple neck. It took 3 weeks for him to finish. You can’t see that he did a thing except when you play it, it’s perfect now. He checked all the internal parts (cloth insulated wire, switches, pots) and all are original, which I expected him to say. It plays like a dream after 55 years of service. I am not worthy of this instrument actually.

I didn't mean to question his leadership other than he and all of them need to reach higher. Tage is playing injured right now so that may a problem. I was not at all happy with his D zone play against Colorado (see the GDT in the 3rd period) but then they disclosed he is hurt and moved him to wing, he cannot take faceoffs right now. I know that Tage works hard in the weight room, and in his own personal training. If anything that example should be a positive. Not sure how any of them are in the locker room. That should be up to Lindy to determine.

Very cool. I have the original (vintage) version of your guitar. A 1970 Fender Telecaster Thinline. I bought it used from a guy I played with way back in 1977 for $150 bucks. It has single coil pickups. I see the new Squire version of this guitar comes with your choice of humbuckers or single coil.

Me too, but I have been trying to minimize since retirement. Less clothes, less books and paper stuff, less tools, less "stuff" in general. Exceptions: Guitars, golf clubs, vacations ...

It takes you from his start up to his expansion to electric music and early days with Al Kooper, Paul Butterfield, etc. Far from comprehensive, probably some embellishments, but interesting for me to connect some dots in his early days (woody Guthrie, Pete Seger, Johnny Cash). I went home and looked closely into my record collection and I have 16 Dylan albums on vinyl. I supposed since I am retired I could catalog my collection which is well over 2000 records and over 500+ CDs. Even in the winter I have lots of other things I prefer to do. I asked my kids if I should sell it off or give it to them - they all said "do not sell".

OK, so I am one of the older guys around here.... I went to see the Bob Dylan movie - A Complete Unknown. I enjoyed it, but being a "biopic" as they call them today, it did not cover his entire career, just the earliest portion - his start up and leading to his breakaway from acoustic folk music to a broader sound with electric band accompaniment. Pretty good film. .

The bolded has been foretold. It has proven to be a problem this season, right out of the starting blocks. Too much on ice thinking and processing, not enough doing. Certainly solid Vet leadership is a need, but it is now time for Thompson and Dahlin and Tuch to provide some of that. They are the "stars" and if they don't hate all the losing by now that its a problem. Being popular after practice when hanging out has to come to an end. These 3 have to start calling out people (within the locker room), and themselves if need be. I don't think we will get that from Samuelsson and Cozens is still too young to carry that weight. Neither of these guys should wear an "A", but they both got big contracts.

What is going on in Rochester? The stats I am finding, well I hopew they are wrong. I see Helenius has 6G, 17 Pts in 28 games. Östlund has 1G in only 12 games. Is he injured?
