None of the above. Like every time this topic comes up in forums, there’s never a song that pleases more than 30-40% of fans/posters 😂

this should be incorporated on the Buffalo jersey somewhere.

That show is one of the best. Waaaaaay better that the anything 550 passes for hockey discussion. And I couldn’t care less what Burke thinks.

Short and sweet... yes. Yes he’s ready.

Ah damn. That pretty much takes care of almost the entire regular season.

Good for JB. Hopefully he’ll do well in that role.

What do you normally set it at in winter months? I go 68 - 69° during the day (unless no ones home for a few hours), and 65° overnight.

admittedly .... i’ve always disliked Eric Staal. And seeing him in the blue and gold doesn’t help matters. But hey, that’s me. To each his/her own.

Thanks for the reply. Yea I don’t see that option in my photos app on my phone. I’ll do a little digging and try to find out why it’s not there and where I find that option. edit: found it, wasn’t looking in the right spot on the right screen. Thanks for the help👍🏼

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I don’t know exactly what you mean by “your photo from your phone on the bottom”. Im looking for a resize option in the photos app. I don’t see one. Hmmm...

Unrelated to the color theme topic, but not sure where else to ask this ... I tried adding a photo from my iPhone to a post. It gave me an error saying the file is too large and can’t add it. I thought I remember adding photos from my phone in the past, and the website software automatically converted it to a smaller file size and posted the photo in the post. Maybe I’m mistaken. If this is the new way, how do I reduce the file size for the post to accept it? Edit: This file size I attached was accepted.

Meh ... if it was that bad he wouldn’t have come back and tried to practice again. Most likely a damn good bruise or something along that severity. I don’t know maybe it’s just me but I don’t consider bumps and scrapes in the category of “injuries“ when it comes to playing a physical sport. if this lasts more then a day or two ... I’d be surprised

14 pounds of muscle is great for an off season. No issues with that.

Good for Randy. He seemed/seems like a solid guy.

It’s not technically the season ... yet 😂 So expect at least one more 😞 Hopefully minor and short

It’s late so forgive the silly question ... Is this a hire by KA?

Good… Washington just got older and slower on the backend.

RIP Mary Ann 😞

As anyone with eyes could see, for the 5th, 6th and 7th round, the Buffalo Sabres did no worse, and no better than the majority of teams. So they didn’t “under perform” or "over perform" compared to a lot of teams. It would have been nice to hit on a couple 5th rounders, but the majority of the teams didn’t either. Who’s had NHL time? So i took a 10 year sample. From 2008 - 2017. In my opinion it’s too soon to judge anyone drafted in the 4th round in 2018 or more recently to determine if a team drafted well in the 4th. If you disagree, then post the more recent years if you want. I added the Buffalo picks (if there are any) just to see the names. And yes, i am well aware that this round is also pretty much a crap shoot, but i think there’s no harm in giving a little credit to the teams. 2008 Draft Pick number/Drafting Team/Player/Position/NHL games played/Goals/Assists/Points/PIM’s/Last NHL season 93 Washington Braden Holtby G 468 0 11 11 25 2019-20 95 St. Louis David Warsofsky D 55 2 9 11 8 2017-18 96 NY Islanders Matt Donovan D 69 2 18 20 28 2018-19 97 Boston Jamie Arniel C 1 0 0 0 0 2010-11 101 Buffalo Justin Jokinen R 102 NY Islanders David Ullstrom C 49 6 7 13 12 2012-13 103 Edmonton Johan Motin D 1 0 0 0 0 2009-10 105 Carolina Michal Jordan D 79 3 4 7 18 2015-16 106 San Jose Harri Sateri G 9 0 0 0 0 2017-18 109 Ottawa Andre Petersson R 1 0 0 0 0 2011-12 111 NY Rangers Dale Weise R 513 55 70 125 355 2019-20 114 Calgary T.J.

It would have been nice to grab two or three guys in this round, but most teams i’m sure felt that way too. Washington did well with two goalies in this round. Calgary with Gaudreau.

Bloody hell ... True. Win now mode Is different and often confused with “They will win it all now mode”.

Agree. He’ll call them from home most likely. Safe place to do it. They will set him up with everything he needs… And he might even have a tech/tv/broadcast person to assist him during the games.

I hope the issues with the sauce are well behind him. And I wish him luck. Hopefully he makes a good impact wherever he ends up.

Trying out dark mode for a bit. So far pretty nice 👍🏼

Couple days ago I Finished watching the 2nd season of Black Sails. What a solid show. Now Taking a break from it to binge watch the 2nd season of The Mandalorian. I’m two episodes in, and I’m not disappointed. Of course the wife can’t get enough of “The Child” in that show. 😂
