Went to Sabres Fan Fest. Toured the lockeroom and areas around there. Talked to Brad May. Saw John Scott, Rick Vaive, Don Edwards, Bill Hajt. Put my eyeballs on the new 3rd Jersey. I change my rating of 6 out of 10 to a 7 out of 10. I think the Sabres missed out on making the fan experience better. It was ok but there is so much room to make it better. I give it a C+

It’s all about preference. Me personally, my favorite “Americanized Mexican fast food grub” is Mighty Taco and Moes. Salsaritas is good too. I hate Chipotle and Qdoba. I never get Taco Bell so I can’t speak to that stuff. All that stuff is a far far cry from quality authentic Mexican meals.

I think that’s why most trade proposals include several players in a package deal. Not just Risto.

I have seasons. I have 10 games available. I really want to sell them as a 10 pack. Or if I must, a 5 pack. Not interested in selling individual games right now. Section 320, Dead Center Ice. Just want what I have invested. Not looking for a profit. Message me if you are serious and want more details.

It would have been rather stupid to call yourselves the Golden knights and NOT have gold in your jersey somewhere Einstein. Don’t hurt yourself doing the mental gymnastics on that obvious color choice VGK.

Meh. I personally give it a 6 out of 10. It could have been much worse, and much better. No logo on the shoulders is unfortunate.

That’s kinda why I proposed (Even if it’s an overpayment). Tkachuk for Risto, Olofsson, 2021 and 2022 1st. If one was optimistic, one could think those 1sts won’t be top 15 anyway. they get a prime aged top 4 D who has bite to his game and can get you 40 pts a year, a slow cooked younger winger who has great potential in the right system, and two nice pieces for building towards the future.

Tkachuk or Domi for Risto, Olofsson, and a 2021 and 2022 1st.

Wow. They really ARE a bunch of jerks. Go figure. ?

It was one of these types ... And they were seated around an outdoor table when it happened. Not indoors. Such a sad tragedy ...

Any fan that think all players who are drafted are expected to carve out a NHL career are sadly misinformed, not to mention have massively unrealistic expectations that never come to fruition. As you know, the chance of making it to the NHL are not great for anyone outside the first round. As you know the chance of actually having a good career (over 400 games) is even less. As you know the chance of having a pretty long career (over 700 games) in the NHL is a rare and special thing. A 3rd round draftee player who didn’t carve out a career in the NHL is quite common actually. As you know. If calling every player a bust who didn’t make the NHL a career makes you feel better, so be it. Seeing as the percentage of draftees who actually do it so low, labeling a “bust” is not accurate at all however.

It worked for Kessel, Brodeur, and many many other pro athletes thru the years ? in all seriousness, Mitts will be fine. No need to assume he doesn’t take being a pro athlete seriously. Any hand wringing concern is very premature at this point.

The roster won’t be what anyone thinks it will be here in August. That’s why I stay away from this exercise ?‍♂️ Summer line combos galore!

Let’s see what Nolan, errrr Bylsma, errr Housley, errr RK can do with him ?

“Have to wonder”

Meh ... I’ll believe it when I see it. Yawn.

Tipping .... https://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/best-tippers-survey.php I read that Millennials are the worst tippers.

Yep. Along with 30-40 assists, and “fair” defensively.

It rained like crazy! The concert was delayed until 8:45 (supposed to open the gates at 6:30) at which the opening act played, while it rained. The wife and I stayed in my truck until 9:00ish when the rain was almost over. We walked in, and as we approached our section, Thievery Corporation started up. They played until 10:15. Hard stop. No encore. Because concerts are supposed to be over by 10:00, but Artpark was allowed to extend it to 10:15. Disappointing night due to the rain. Even though TC played tight and sounded amazing. i saw them a few months back in Toronto and they played for 85-90 mins. That .... was a great show.

We? When do you think? Me personally, I think before Oct. 3rd he’ll move out a couple guys. Could be Amerks, could be Sabres.

I think Drury is next in line to being the GM or president of the NYR. It’s his childhood favorite team. He is from Connecticut. His wife has family close to if not in that region. He doesn’t want to go anywhere. I’d bet he was asked if he wanted to speak to other teams because they asked about him, and Drury said “no not interested”, so he “allowed” NYR to block any interview. He wants to stay put. He’s exactly where he wants to be making great money doing it.

Meh .... I’m not at all worried about Mitts having a nice NHL career. For me, as long as he develops into a solid top 6 forward I’ll be happy. For me, he doesn’t need to pour in 70-80 points a year to like him. His draft position vs. expectations doesn't carry as much weight with me as some fans really weigh it. ?‍♂️

So let me get this straight… What’s always bothered you about RJ is the Buffalo fans love for him? No matter how hard some fans try to knock him down, the vast vast vast majority will always love RJ. Even with the mistakes he makes. It’s just not that big of a deal.

I would be surprised (not mad) if RK gave rookie VO extended first line duties. But hey, I’m open to trying many combos to see if something clicks and has chemistry ?‍♂️
