Butcher is such a disaster.  Man I need this season to end so I don’t have to see him any more.  

Just wait until that 5th round pick we got for him becomes like these guys:

I will.

You listed First Round Picks that were fifth overall.  #5 overall in the draft.

The 5th ROUND pick we got for Butcher will be somewhere between #129 and #160 overall.

Lol I’m not gonna challenge.  Too many nights and too many glasses of whiskey have passed since then.  We were early adopters!

I can’t claim credit for that one, although I certainly have ripped it off to apply to other players over the years. 😁

Ha. That hard-C alliteration helped it catch on.

Oh, the celebration of the young man's lettuce. Fun.

I will say here, in a safe (Sabre)space: Based on the times I've seen him on camera -- informally (the post-game Sabre presentation) or more formally (interviews) -- he is ... well, I'm not sure. Understated? Low-key? Those are among the charitable ways I can describe what I'm seeing. Maybe his demeanor is influenced by his status as a young player, though. But even that "movies or TV? ranch or bleu cheese" Sabre media thing I saw on Twitter ... dude was ... well, I'll stick with low-key. 

Oh fuggit, I'll add here: Asked what music he's listening to (around the rink (?)), he said he mostly doesn't. Asked if he's a TV or movie guy, he said "TV." Asked what shows he's liked of late, he said he never really watches TV. Maybe it's just all hockey all the time?

I really think he is a low-key flat-personality hockey nerd.

(Kinda like Crosby and McDavid)

Have you ever been on camera with someone asking you questions?  I have been once or twice.  I have no problem with public speaking, leading meetings at work, whatever.  But for some reason when someone "interviews" me, I just kinda shut down and don't say what's in my brain.  Maybe Owen's the same as that.  It would explain the TV questions.  You're brain is racing a million places almost in a panic but the outer demeanor looks like you've shut down.

I actually appreciate the concept of the concept here on this board.

I do, too. You know exactly what it means.

Ha. Mike Brady would have been down to see an engorged OP.

As the person who lays claim to first turning that phrase - the Concept of Kassian - I appreciate that.

Btw: The archives of this illustrious message board are such that I cannot readily establish having been first in time with it.

I believe you. And as long as you know it, just revel in it.

I've had several things attributed to other folk. I just don't care enough to go digging to prove just how great I actually am. As long as I know it, that's enough for me.😂

More Weed 

Yes.

Gummies,… I'm a fan.

∆9, though. Ya know, the real stuff. ∆8 makes me anxious.

I've gotten several care packages lately, for the side effects of stuff. (Shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone that I have had zero side effects and feel great)

 

Looking forward to tonight's game.

Go Sabres!!!!

This will be the second game in NHL history where two defensemen drafted #1 OA are playing together on the same team.

And this is why I have such a problem with jackwads like Paul Hamilton who constantly use the term 1st overall when discussing first round picks.  If they ain’t the very first player taken, they are just first round picks. Gets it wrong every time.

Defense wins championships.

 

I'm told.

Not sure if anyone cares, but I'm pretty sure that ESPN+ shows the Blues pregame on their broadcast.

Come on Sabres help me feel better! Got COViD yesterday

[DarthEbriate]

It's my final game of the season before vacation kicks in, so let's go in Sabres and go in full throttle.

Hope you have the mildest of mild symptoms and perk right back up!

[dudacek]

I’m I getting spoiled by recent improvements, or is Butcher Fitz among the most scary combos we’ve seen on the blueline since the prime of Messy Ballls?

So far it’s mostly been a really bad cold; sinuses draining like Niagara Falls and the like.

Feel better.  Covid sucks.

We needed Samuelsson to knock ROR into next week.
