I went Johnson as well. Maybe recency bias though as I'm not up to speed with many of our prospects.

Sounds like they are. Or at least we expect them to. https://buffalonews.com/2019/09/01/buffalo-sabres-nhl-prospects-challenge-randy-sexton-dylan-cozens-ukko-pekka-luukkonen-will-borgen-analysis-2019/

3-6 loss. Defending was pretty poor from the clan. Dundee were quicker, their backchecking was very good. We were very static overall. Not a great show. At least it's not league play, just the cup. Get the missing D back from injury in the next few games.,

Better second period. But conceded again. 2-4 going into the third.

It's not going well so far. 0-3 at the end of the first ?

Yay, hockey is back. The Clan won the preseason tourney against snake Russell's new team ?. Tonight we'll be opening the challenge cup against the Dundee stars. The players seem to enjoy playing under new HC "fitzy". Can't wait to get to the arena tonight. It'll be my mates first hockey game too! https://youtu.be/Qe_nnQ48l3Y

Ach. I've got my stuff from eBay! Waiting on an absolutely ridiculous black and technicolour fitted cap coming!!

There's also a bunch of stuff up on the auction site. Including a signed Eichel jersey sitting at $87. Auctions

In my mind Vesey isn't here beyond this season anyway. JB has him as cover on a contract year to, hopefully, get a good enough amount of points out of him. Next season will be when more of our young players can make the jump up. If Vesey performs well and we can get better than the 3rd round pick back at the deadline that's a decent bit of business imo.

Started my half sleeve with the awesome guy that is Soap. He works in his own studio in Stirling, Scotland near the castle actually. Called Lab Monkey Tattoo. He's a really nice guy (listen to his interview on silvertongue podcast). Next is to colour it all in. That's booked for November.

Haha. Funnily enough no such ill effects.

Keeping it simple tonight. Medium rare ribeye, steamed spinach and sauerkraut. Lovely.,

$195 for a blank. Holy smokes. That's not even including postage and import duty for us EUers.

Hoodie in the same colour scheme would do me.

It'll make nice pics hoisting the cup in royal blue.

Possibly. Maybe reading too much into the sabres reply.

Sabres.feed on Instagram speculating that the jersey reveals will be at the fan event coming up. ?

Does olofsson count as a rookie next season? (Excuse my ignorance of the criteria). If he does, and gets a ride with Jack out of camp could he be Calder level good? Hope so.

The longer this goes on the more my brain is trying to convince me that we're lining up with 3D and 2Fwds ?

Dallas fan. There is a great article in the athletic explaining Aikman's greatness far more eloquently that I could. But I totally disagree with "not top 10 of all time". For me it is definitely coloured by my interest in the NFL began in the final years of Danny Whites tenure at QB. Aikman was a dream to get. And the team they surrounded him was awesome. Here's that article. https://theathletic.com/1090762/2019/07/25/19-in-19-4-troy-aikman-is-many-things-but-overrated-is-definitely-not-one-of-them/

Almost exactly my list. But change Jim Brown to Emmitt Smith or Troy Aikman.

A bottle of voddie or gin in the duty free will hit the spot in that case!

It's amazing how quickly you become immune to the cost though haha! (Fwiw I went to a gig in Vegas and there beers were about 4 times the price of Stockholm!)

Yo. If anyone was planning on flying from Edinburgh to Skavsta for this with Ryanair check your booking. I got an email today saying as of October they are no longer flying there. Have managed to rebook with SAS, but the flight is later in the evening.

Seconded
