Doohickie

"And this little piggy is.... well, he's just not there anymore, is he?" I'm not going to get excited either way about what other teams are doing right now. I just want to see the Sabres come out of their bye week and put up some points of their own. If they do that they'll make the playoffs.

Right and as soon as they realize they've been duped they'll stop coming to games.

Yeah but the rest of us do.

That is a horrible trade lol rather have Nemec Yeah, remember when we had both O'Reilly brothers?

US English uses 18% fewer u's than UK/Canadian English* *Citation: Facts I made up. Not a Gordon Lightfoot fan, eh?

Adams is like that. You can tell when he's not being totally honest. It was more frequent earlier in his tenure when he was in the Fake It Til You Make It phase of his career. Listen to him talk about Eichel before he had full buy-in from the Pegulas to move him. Very... uncomfortable. Although to be fair, at this point there isn't a ton he can do to control the Portillo situation.

Math seems okay, spelling.... not so much 😉

Good to see you back. Double Reverse Ignore is something I pulled outta my ass. ...as far as you know.

His absolute floor is Okposo- great defensive forward, chips in offensively. His ceiling is much higher than that of course, but we've seen what kind of value has brought through his contract, even if he didn't score as much as was expected.

The problem with being a hardass is keeping it up. I'm seeing chinks in your armor, you ol' softee, you.

Eich is a workout freak; didn't seem to protect him from injury.

The Hockey Guy's take. Cozens is the jumping off point. He talks about that contract and then jumps off from there, very complimentary.

Wait... I saw you post the other day that the Sabres would make the playoffs. You're losing your edge and there's a new kid in town!

He's part of the reason they're the #1 scoring offense. No one is carrying him.

He's only 21.

Although to be fair, everything shifts the course of the Mississippi River.

It's cathartic just to find out what happened. I wish her and her family well.

Granato loves the potential in every player. That's what makes him a good developmental coach. Kevyn has the responsibility of giving Donny players that, when assembled, make a good team. Granato would take Reino back but I don't think Kevyn would.

How about taking the Turkey earthquake talk to a new thread?

They've been shaking all day, unfortunately.

There's a Buffalo earthquake thread that's been taken over by Turkey talk. Suggest moving the Turkey talk here.

They keep labeling it as ENE of West Seneca but the USGS map puts it in NW West Seneca. Yes, I think we're all aware of that.

Doesn't every team get a "bye week" now? The Sabres' happens to be adjacent to the all star break... Is that it?

You don't think Casey's game hasn't gotten increasingly physical this season? I do... still a work in progress but he's far more physical. I think he is an example of growing/developing talent internally to fill the needs of the team.
