Night Train

On The Clock

Wedding day coming up ?

All the good players are gone. All is lost.

Pride month includes drama queens. Take a time out for about a week.

I thought my wife threw out those curtins ?

God bless Bucci but this telecast needs to move faster.

Now to identify "it" . How deep is the supply on Amazon ?

Jesus.. Race driver Jmmie Johnsons in-laws and thier grandson were found shot dead. ESPN saying his mother in-law shot her husband and grandchild, then turned the gun on herself. How horrible...WTF ?

He grew on me as the year progressed. He still whiffs on a lot of opportunities. Seems to be fighting himself quite often. Yet he hustles and does keep plays alive that eventually led to a few goals, which what saves him with me. He just can't seem to finish opportunities when he has the clear shot. Shoots it over the net and wide point blank many times. Loses poise in the moment of shooting. I guess if he can set up guys he's OK but he needs to relax in the moment more often.

Bullseye. These reactions are usually regional.

I believe KA is looking at G but may indeed fall back to the 3 G idea again without reaching in a trade or overpaying in FA. D is a FAR bigger priority. 1-2 Vets. The team as a whole needs to learn how to play D in front of their G. I'd actually be a bit surprised to see another forward added.

Owner can still fire them any time he wants. Just has to pay them off. The contracts aren't prison terms. Shows stabilty to prospective FA's going forward. While the draft is a gamble, Beane has attacked FA to keep the team strong. Previous GM's took vacations or took naps when FA started. It's not just the draft anymore. McDermott will take the heat if they fail but let's see how this current team plays first.

The secret ballots must go away. He should have been in by now. A joke.

D is far more important. I would like another G but no rentals for tons of compensation. JMO.

Beat me to it. The team in front of him. He did play well and will now be overpaid as FA. I think Vegas could have made Subban look good this spring.

Tire issue. Drop off car at 0830 this morning. At 6pm, shop calls to say no time to look at it. Maybe tomorrow. (if they are still in business) . Sigh...

After watching the World tourney a month back, it's JJP. Cozens flashed there last year and took the big jump.

Still need 1-2 Vets on D... who can play D. Goalie is a bit trickier but can be done. Need a compliment to Levi. UPL is too inconsistent and Cromrie seemingly cannot stay healthy enough to get a read on him. Dahlin gets a new long deal and Power gets a 3 year bridge deal. Also needs to instruct Granato that the forwards need to quit getting caught deep and floating back on D. Never has a Sabres team given up so many clean breaks down the center of the ice. Alarming. Can't blame the Goalie there. So it starts with the draft this coming week and some wheeling and dealing to improve this roster.

I'll post the address for Drama Queens of Mercy retirement community.

The youth we are looking to eventually promote weren't taking 4th line spots. That's your Vet checking line. So look at the top 3 lines and pick someone to replace. JJP and Quinn grabbed the 2 open spots last year. Or someone is getting traded for D help to open up a spot.

Wondered if they would move on from him and KO. Another year for both answers that question. Also means they see the youth as needing another year of development and eating sandwiches to grow.

I can't believe anyone gives credence to any of the national media on ESPN/FOX/NFLN etc. Those networks are for watching live sports and highlights. Nothing else. Those people are clueless.

You mean the guy who didn't play well in the playoffs ? That guy ?

Probably true. Assumption that the PP goals by Victor O need to be replaced but I want players with well rounded games and not to be rushed.

Plus he needs a gym membership and a meal plan. Given up on the growth spurt. Rousek a good 3rd,4th liner ? No issues with that. Maybe he and Kulich move up ?
