Apparently that was more rumor than fact

Didn't Huberdeau already say he wasn't going to sign with Calgary when his deal is up?

That's the weird thing though... if my theory is true, he reached the top with no small amount of conniving. But now that he's there he seems to be using a solid approach to build them and seems to be leader that is curing much of the organization's recent ills.... and he's well liked.

I see it differently. KA worked several positions within the club, getting to know the ownership's traits, advantages and flaws and actively sought out the GM-ship. He positioned himself as a valued advisor and tipped JBot over the edge and got his foot in the door. He told the Pegulas his plan; they were impressed but not yet impressed to go with it. They were still invested in Eichel and Krueger and the direction they were taking the team. With the big losing streak he finally convinced the Pegulas to can Krueger and try it his way. I've kind of fan-fictioned that into a yarn that Kevyn staged a coup but I haven't entirely convinced myself that this wasn't the case.

Set your alarm clock for October 13th.

It would have been a great article had it been written a year ago. A lot has changed.

So after getting her knee replaced last month, my wife had it "manipulated" today. She's been rehabbing to get range of motion but it wasn't going very quickly and she wants to be able to get around in the classroom when school starts (she's a teacher). So she went to the hospital today and they put her under sedation and moved her knee back and forth several times. That was it. She came out of the sedation and she's up to almost normal range of motion. Medicine is crazy *****.

My point is that I, as a young adult, went a whole school year "unsupervised" and somehow I managed to avoid gang-raping an unconscious woman. My point is that I don't see the lack of supervision as the cause of the incident. No. The rite of passage is being unsupervised, tying on a few, bonding with the other players on the team. I suspect that the coaches didn't know it went that far. See my reply to @Taro T. That's not what I meant by rite of passage.

They probably partied just as hard when they went through it and saw no harm in it, maybe even viewed it as a rite of passage.

You're talking about my, and lots of other people's, freshman year of college.

Ex-Sabre Robert Hagg signed by Detroit to replace ex-Sabre Mark Pysyk who just had Achilles tendon surgery, out 4-6 months. The Detroit Sabres 😛

Ouch Mark. Get well soon!

If I had to guess he's got one team offering him beaucoup bux and trying to use that offer to get big bucks from his preferred team. That or he's asking for more term than anyone wants to pay. I'm also guessing it's his agent pushing it more than him.

True, which is probably why it failed spectacularly when Murray did it.

I actually expect they'll let him play out the string and either trade him at the deadline or just not sign him next year.

I'm mildly interested in that the Arlington, TX, team is playing in the old Texas Rangers stadium that's across the street from the new Texas Rangers stadium and also across the street from the Dallas Cowboys stadium, which is about a half hour drive from where I live. It will be interesting to see how they reconfigure it for football.

Food fer thought

Zemgus Girgensons.

When the XFL relaunches next year, the head coach of the Seattle franchise will be former Bills linebacker Jim Haslett.

Who doesn't?
