That Aud Smell

I do appreciate this update. Do we know if Quinn has hair on his balls?

That’s an old school score to wake up to. Nearly at @deluca67 .500. And sorry to Rip Van Winkle this, but, holy sh1t balls, every bottom half team in the east is basically vying for the final wild card spot. Here’s hoping our 3rd divisional spot is eventually in play too.

Looking at some of the recent posts - including my own - I want to add: I don't mean the criticism of Skinner's play to be an indictment on dude's character. I mean - I'm sure he's a nice guy and even a good hang. The more distance I have from him, though, the more I conclude that, with regard to his preparation and play, he is, at his best, a light-hearted agent of chaos. With regard to the chaos: He can (could?) score in bunches because he can (could?) snipe and his edge work is (was ?) ridiculous. But he doesn't fit well within systems. He's not reliable. He's not predictable.

And the team will ultimately miss the playoffs. Book it.

I mean, my favourite team is still quite mid. But I take some comfort from the vaunted and seemingly undead Bruins finally - FINALLY - taking a step back into the pack of mediocrity. Now, please, continue your descent and livest thou amongst the league's basement dwellers.

both teams now have histories of large things falling from the ceiling/rafters and onto the playing surface.

PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE

We use "cash poor" here in a relative sense. Presumably they are. The Ghoul Man has publicly denied that the Pegulas' sale of a minority stake has anything to do with the ballooning cost overruns for the new stadium. In related news, Pete reportedly has some ocean front property in Iowa he's looking to move.

So low as to be non-existent. That said, the useful life of the new stadium does not anchor the franchise in Buffalo for that same period of time. With further regard to your comment about branding: The Buffalo brand also means something to the league. I'm not sure exactly how much it means. Anyway, I tend to doubt that the intangible value of that brand would stand in the way of someone willing to pay, say, ten billion dollars (years from now) for the right to own and move the team.
