When Tokarski comes back, I would be SORELY tempted to send Subban down and keep UPL up.

What I like is that the Sabres may be meeting my definition of a "good team" -- everyone can lose to a good team at home; what defines a good team is that, in general, good teams regularly beat other good teams on the road.

If we're spending, I would not want it with Murray. I would spend it on veteran, mid-pairing, preferably right-shooting defencemen.

On the other hand, when we got them, no one thought that Mike Peca or Stu Barnes would be special, but I view them as special players. Maybe one of the guys becomes a special player like they were.

That is I. And, to prove how nerdy that is, remember that "to be" takes a complement and not a direct object, so "that is me" is incorrect.

It was automatic: I fired up my computer and it held me on a display for a free Windows 11 upgrade. I had to patiently jump through a bunch of hoops. Each time, I had to wait for the system to do something and then ask something about the upgrade again. I am looking for a shortcut if it tries again. If I find one, I will post it here.

Boy, do I feel eccentric. When I see "CLT", my first thought is "Central Limit Theorem."

For others who don't trust any version x.0 of anyone -- my machine tried to force an upgrade on me this morning. It took almost 15 minutes to get loose.

That's a different drug.

That's what I think. It is not always true, but it does happen.

This reminds me of when Ullmark first came in. The team responded to him. While I am thinking of it, it could be that Ullmark was only going to be good in Buffalo because of that psychology.

Just received from a friend on Facebook: in dishonour of the officiating recently, Bills Mafia are donating money for charities for the visually impaired.

ONE! TWO! THREE! WE WANT FOUR! (C-D-E-F)

Bikini Atoll?

If UPL get sent down, these are the reasons which are not "tanking". How you interpret it and how KA intends it are another matter.

Not I. He has been Dell-like this year and he's under contract for another year.

Agreed -- the team has to make demonstrable progress and not just tread water.

I wouldn't put it that way, but that is my analysis.

Does anyone here know what quarantine would be like for 3-5 weeks for those who tested positive? The stories I heard from a former employer's Chinese associates when the pandemic started there would make me think twice about going over -- and the second time would be "no."

Josh is more than good enough at QB. However, no matter what the talking heads tell you, you still win and lose games in the trenches. Both lines need work -- particularly the O-line. I could handle having a bunch of nobodies at WR and RB if I could man block on the O-Line. I want a D-line where the opposition has to double each guy on every play between their tackles.

That's too bad. Hope he heals properly for a good life after hockey.

Probably my ticket to the last game at the Aud.

That would show more guts than I think they have.

Just curious: whom do you send down to Rochester when Tokarski comes back? I am leaning towards Dell.

I recommend first trying the rest of the Sabres Radio Network. I am regularly listening to Rochester. You can also get it from NHL.com. You go there, get to the play-by-play area, choose "Listen", and then pick the home or away broadcast.
