And oh no not the goat head

Wow. That is very scary. Sorry to hear. And happy to hear all in the same moment.

If he’s competent as a GM ... yes, a good hire. We’ll know in a couple years.

Good article (from what I could actually read) If VO makes the team out of camp ... I can see him getting 35-40 points if he’s mostly on the top 6. If he’s relegated to the lower 6 most of the time, I can’t see him getting more than 25.

Oh the thread derailing that is inevitable ... I’ll just keep it to TM ... yes he was a terrible GM. I don’t know if he was necessarily the worst in Sabres history or the worst in NHL history as some like to claim. But he was good at being a straight shooter and interesting sound bites. ?

Some of the skeptical Sabres fans are saying to themselves ...

Well, since I don’t know the first thing about Pokémon ...

Is he an animal, mineral, or vegetable.

Then I bet everyone has a different definition (surprise surprise) of “useful player”. ? If by your definition of useful player, then I believe Cozens will be equally useful (as Reinhart was in his first) during his 2020-2021 1st full time NHL season. Some may have doubts about the development curve of an 18 year old. I’ve read that boring chapter every year from some fans about every 1st round draft pick for years. I just don’t have those kind of doubts every year. Oh well. To each his/her own. ?‍♂️

I can see Cozens making the team full time in Oct. 2020. And have a similar development trajectory as Reinhart. The trajectory I view Reinhart’s early years is: 1st full season, struggled but saw flashes of his talent. Didn’t hurt his line. 2nd full season, better overall but noticed things he needed to work on. 3rd full season, took another positive step and rounding out his game. Developing nicely. For Cozens to take 3 NHL years to mostly round out his game isn’t anything to ZOMG be alarmed about. It’s rather average to even a little faster than average. Yes, even for a 7th overall pick.

Yep. Just like Dahlin. Just like 1st year Eichel. Just like 1st and 2nd year Reinhart. Just like Mitts. Just like .... I wasn’t/am not concerned with those guys. I’m not the least bit worried about Cozens.

Not from last season. But bad nonetheless. Stupid Eichel and Lehner.

Since MM is a freakin twit ... I don’t approve of this comparison ? but it’s funny nonetheless

Anyone ask him specifically what happened to his thumb and specifically what procedure he had gotten done to repair it? beyond the obvious “I injured it at the scrimmage”

I think it’s a little early in his development to be calling Alex Nylander a bust. But I know some like to slam players once they leave the organization. He MAY be a slow developer. It does happen once in awhile. Shocking, I know. We’ll see if the Chicago organization can develop him more and he turns a corner in a season or two ?‍♂️

And to add to the already great points ... if RK implements a good system that improves the skill set of Girgs and Larsson, we could see them grab a few more points AND be just as good if not better in the DZ.

But but but ... eye test! Eye tessssst!

And I thought I was the only one on this board that didn’t drink.

One could easily combine all four of those into one moment in time ?

Good interview with Risto. If he doesn’t return, I wish him well and hope he gets a taste of the playoffs.

I vaguely remember something like that but I believe it was the guitarist that was accused. The ZT singer Mark, turned into a Hare Krishna then I think I heard he had a mental breakdown of some sort. So many years ago, It’s all sorta grey haha.

I know a couple people that would never leave the house if they could do that. ?

And THAT type of pit was not like that in the late 80’s early to mid 90’s when I saw Sick of it All headline shows about 8 times in those years. Playing to 100-300 kids/young adults. Very intimate. Very cool. Back when you can get on stage and stage dive (no jar neck security) into a cool group of fans after screaming lyrics into a mic that Lou stuck in your face for 3-4 seconds. Like this one of many ...

I took that comment as “the PRICE for Risto was very high” but in case there were doubters, he can confirm Risto IS “being shopped”. at least that’s my take on it ?‍♂️
