But my sign which I assume is anti-Mike, it just encourages you not to vote. By the way, I still have no clue who Mike is.

Some people like their cucumbers pickled, attention spans be damned.

Best penalty kill in the league!

I don't disagree but I'd get a little worried if he started trying to be an offensive D man. We have enough of those. Likely too many. We just need stable reliable defenders to pair with the offensively gifted. I doubt Timmons is good enough to do both things well.

Special teams win hockey games.

Sabres must have the same strength and condition coach as the Bills.

He could say "lingering effects of a prior illness".

Drek. Great word. We want something else! We want something else! @Sabres Fan in NS

I don't think we've seen everything we will out of him yet. So far I see him as glue to hold the unit together, and to clean up messes left by Power (and also to mentor Power). I don't see him do much, but that also includes I don't see him making any defensive mistakes. But Dunleavy keeps talking about how good his shot is. I get the impression that while he learns Lindy's system and his teammates, he's not pushing the offense; he seems to be concentrating on D most of the time. But I think as he settles in he'll try more shots on goal.

That is spot on.

My dog approves of Good Boy

In previous years a big issue was losing in regulation and not getting the loser point. This year the issue is not winning in OT and settling for the loser point. That alone is a pretty big improvement (putting aside the obvious need to get two points on a regular basis).

Cuz his first game back someone is gonna wet willie his ear hole and re-not injure him. Do I gotta lay everything out for everyone?

Some of the additions/changes have made a positive difference. So far there are still some of the previous players who haven't been dragged into the fight by the new guys but hopefully over time that will happen. Most people are talking about Doan for obvious reasons but biggest surprise to me is Timmons. I didn't think he was very good in Toronto and not much in Pittsburgh but he's been really solid and seems to fit their system perfectly. It's made a huge difference.

I never said I hadn't seen it. I said Sabres want to be a possession team. The problem is what they do when they don't have that possession.

Where did Ruff say what @Brawndo said? He was less than specific in his words. An ear thing is a physical thing. It is caused by an illness. Why not just say that right away?

It's not so much about changing minds; it's more about encouraging like-minded people to actually vote. (Taro notwithstanding)

Last year when the Sabres were better at playing OT, they did that to other teams frequently and kept the other teams' players out there for just as long. After thirty to sixty seconds, you're gassed and blocking lanes, just playing to prevent a game ending shot. If you say you've never seen it before, you're not watching NHL hockey.

I listened to 4 minutes of that drek. Did he ever say anything useful?

Was there ever a consensus on the length of the Norris injury?

It's literally being discussed exactly what that is, Ruff told us, in this thread.

Kulich could have an inner ear condition called labyrinthitis, the symptoms include dizziness to the point where the room feels like it is spinning, nausea and vomiting. It’s usually caused by virus but can also be a bacterial infection.
