If some of these guys are unemployed, we should bring them in now.

Speaking for myself, it troubles me that Dave Schultz has his name on the Cup twice while guys like Gil Perreault do not. It feels like the universe bending towards Justice. Also, I would like all the Sabres fans who don't appreciate what they bring game in and game out to see how wrong they are.

Ah, I see.

All I found are high-end cigarettes. That does not fit the comment.

I have always thought that Zemgus and Kyle would be great in the playoffs. Pity this is not 5 years ago with O'Reilly, Eichel, and Reinhart in Buffalo. (In that universe, I am undoing the O'Reilly trade and filling in the roster with reliable, if low-end, NHLers and not a bunch of tweeners. Mittelstadt is in Rochester too.)

I need help. What am I missing?

Welcome to the board!

I never could understand that epithet for Andreychuk. Phil Esposito was the ultimate garbage man.

An older, reliable, defencively responsible partner would help.

Someone said earlier in this thread that the Sabres are a fraction of a second slower in reacting than the Blues are. That tells me that they have not internalised how the system works yet.

How did that happen? And is it possible that he could be canned for sheer incompetence?

Jugger-nought?

This team is not good when they are not at full strength, are they. And when they are healthy, they still are not that good.

I agree. We should not replace Mittelstadt with yet another youngster.

I was joking. I was just commenting that the team would likely go with one of the recent draft picks instead of replacing him with a veteran for the rest of the season, this making the team even younger. Mittelstadt has matured as a player and I think that he should be kept at his likely price.

That sucks. Good luck to you.

Mittelstadt is too old to go through growing pains with the rest of his teammates. Heaven forbid that we have a solid, experienced 2-way centre on the roster. I have been seeing speculation on this front for weeks. If true, the Adams must guarantee that he gets an equivalent or better centre first. And it shows how enamoured he is with his prospects.

My wife and I are friends with a couple of Mormon families. I have never had the guts to tell them that these uniforms remind me of Dilbert except that the tie is straight.

John Gianelli? Do you come to the board with $79M ($15M updated for inflation) for our best poster? Do I need to boycott KFC again? And do you plan to move SDS's server to San Diego?

I imagine that there will be men who want their beer league to be "no place for women," in the parlance of my youth. They will try to ostracise any woman who dares to play with them, will break the rules to send that message, and will compound the offence whenever possible. I personally don't care -- I grew up in a neighbourhood where boys and girls played sports together.

Whether we like it or not, genetic adult males generally are bigger, stronger, and faster than genetic adult females. So I think that keeping the genders separate makes sense. Having said that, I have an ex-GF who played in a men's league with her wife because they were good enough and there was no women's league at the time where she lived. (Yes, her wife. Yes, I was her last BF.) She asked me what I thought of them trying out. I told her that it will be like it is for the two of them as women doing research STEM, except their are pads, skates, and sticks. They knew the deal and dished it out as well as took the hits. But that is the exception.

I am not mad at the players. I am starting to get a hate on for some the coaches and some of management. That is tempered by me recognition that Buffalo has many of the problems that Winnipeg and other teams have plus a few of Pegula's making.

The one thing that might matter is how the coaching staff looks. Maybe that gets changed over the summer. Not holding my breath.

Let's go, Buffalo.

According to fans of CBJ, an offer from Buffalo "starts with Power and Cozens."
