The Hockey Guy: How the Sabres Can Live Up to the Hype

Leave it to you to harsh my mellow.

21 goals in his swan song season.

I don't know. Do you want it to be?

If he's selling land in downtown, it was probably purchased for the contingency of the new Bills stadium downtown. Now that it's being built in OP no reason to hang onto any of this alleged land.

Yes there's gas in the car.

Is this a parody thread? Because it feels like a parody thread.

My my cousin's barber's grandfather said none of that is true.

There's a reason country music went downhill. After this, what can you do that's better?

He really has been, going back to when Donny put him up against McDavid, et al.

I'm not into fishing so I'm not familiar with the term treble hook. I was thinking of the simple hook type where you just push it through. I googled it just now and

You know I hate a lot of your meme-ish posts but this one is spot on.

The Sabres will soon have a center spine envied by the rest of the league and Cozens is a big part of that.

Sure he can. He just needs to be told what his role is and play his role. He has the physical talent. If he can be coached he'll be fine. If he can't then he needs to go. It's really that simple.

I would say the estimates used for the initial cost estimate used favorable assumptions. The eventual contracts, if they are over a multi-year period, probably baked a lot of risk into the quote, thus the increase. If they are fixed price contracts, the bidding companies had to do that to protect their own financial interests. If they are cost plus contracts, they price may actually come down if they bid too conservatively.

It's 36% of their home dates. I assume yes.

That's what I said last year. I'm a believer now.

Not if he can. If he will. He's played decent two-way hockey at times but it's not his natural game.

I see it the opposite way. I'm sure he knows Olofsson's playing style. I think he will see this as an opportunity. I think he's at that sweet spot age-wise where a lot of players jump into roles of responsibility. Greenway will help him I have no doubt, and if Olofsson wants to stick in this league he will need to do his part (which is more than just finishing). He's shown brief periods where he's played a good two-way game; I think he has it in him. He just has to want to do it. If he doesn't want to, I'm sure Rousek would.

35 goals/50 assists

I don't think Greenway and Krebs overlap as much as you seem to. I see Krebs and Greenway both as disruptive forecheckers. I don't see Greenway as much of a playmaker though and I think the other two would still look to Krebs to drive the play. I could see the line working but on the other hand if it struggles limiting their minutes would probably be the least disruptive to the rest of the team.

Go out and ask for those. You'll get laughed out of the place.
