And right back to

Looks like I missed a period, huh? Okay, all caught up, now kill this penalty.

Lil J is playing, per Sabres FB

I'll be at a Christmas happy hour from work (even though I took today off).

I could see some good give away nights under Snoop. Edibles Night and such.

So are these castles the GMships under Pegula? That would mean the Sabres are about to burn down, fall over and sink into the swamp.

Well.... aren't you the clever one?

Except that this trade is reversible. It's a conditional 7th rounder and I think if we cut him soon we get our pick back.

I'm not sure I'd call him the best defensive playing Dman on the team, but he's certainly in the Top 6. Or should be.

Or it might be Robinson. Let him go back to Columbus if they want him. Wasn't it a 7th round conditional pick, with the condition that he plays 45 games with Buffalo? When he was acquired it was discussed that he may be just a rental until GIrgs returns.

I think at this point, Joke/Dahlin is a decent pairing. Drop Muel down to 2nd or 3rd pair (or sit him a game or two), I don't care. I'd like to see Lil J play more. I think it will be Jost.

I wonder if Skinny is healthy or is this Donny's last desperate attempt to keep his job?

If...

I love Muel but I'd sit him a game or two. He needs to get out of his own head.

Top two lines trying to capture the heady days of April. They need to play Lil J though.

Why unable? Took a puck to the face during the game.

Somehow I don't think that's happening this time.

13:17, -2, 1 shot, 1 hit. The amazing thing is that Cozens, JJP, Olofsson and E Johnson were all +1 yesterday.

Oh, I think he's about to find out.

It never happened. 😉

It was already swirling around the drain when Ruff was fired. He'd lost the room at that point, it was time to move on. I stated years before that Ruff should stay forever if he wanted to but by the time he was let go it was a relief. But yeah, I miss him now.

Oh, and they won all three of those games, didn't they?

Well if the GM and coach aren't going to be fired, it's probably time to have a players only meeting. Let the players figure it out, and if it means moving the C to someone else's jersey, let the players decide (the A's as well). And if there's a closed, players only meeting, I think it will become organically obvious who should get the letters. They may not be the players the team management and fan base would expect. But if they did something like this it would possibly provide a demarcation point to the season in the absence of a coaching change or major trade. And it would also (likely) be a hand-off of team leadership to the young core.
