Drafted Matteo Costantini 5 years ago didn’t even realize he had a contract!

Can't believe how bad Chicago imploded last night

I’ll pm you

I don't believe I do sadly

That does boost ticket prices though. For that very reason, I couldn't care less about the NHL "growing the league". I'm good with the way the league was 20 years ago. Players and owners made less, but the price of tickets or a beer at the game were a non-factor.

Sabres-esque injury processing on Bo right here

Uh oh. Jobs revision worse than expected. Lemme guess; another hoax? Cheeto is gonna run out of people to blame and fire. https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/us-job-growth-revision-a9777d98?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAhAnxkNPgjegPswwSOqTeUaQTRCH9zBs3m2DP3b0k9GZIpKIHPuxlkRpC4Or0c%3D&gaa_ts=68c08029&gaa_sig=XxdbpVQkG_yB7U641TlloPAN5fTi4Z9jxza3kP6ASFl1vm75fugTqB2Uk6NmmxuzUUqw51jpS_AkNRPDdZLSPw%3D%3D

As I've said before, when LaFontaine walked out the door we all should have followed him. He knew. He was right.

You know the thing for me is everything just feels the same and I want some sign or feeling - even a false hope - that something is different this year. Something to make me feel this is a serious organization (which I don't think it is). Right now I think Thompson, Tuch and Dahlin will all play well to try to get on their Olympic squads. Tuch doubly so since it's a contract year. Benson will play hard cause that's who he is and the rest is just meh. Maybe Kesselring or Doan but they are unknowns. It just feels like we will see a complete repeat of last year.

Doesn't bother me at all. There is a difference between a 'hardcore leaf fan' and a Bills from from Toronto. Again, for me its about expanding your fanbase. If I like a team, I want them to do what they can to expand that fanbase. No gatekeeping.

Sorry, couldn't find the Morning Circus Band's Fa-La-La-La-LaFontaine on line.

All good points. Still icky.

Noted Sabres and Bills fan Ernie Clement must be behind this

Rooting alongside snooty, loud, pretentious Toronto fans? Ewwwww! Can you imagine a stadium 1/3 full of Promo the robot types with a Canadian accent? 🤣

I'm fine with this, actually happy. Why would you not want to expand your fanbase?

With a brand new stadium? Yeah, you don’t ever have to worry about that again.

The psychology of fandom is fascinating stuff. Im curious to see the Venn diagram of people who credit luck in both last-minute wins and last-minute losses.

OK papa Smurf. Don’t you have some smurfing to do for your big date with Smurfette tonight?

Its the defense for me, I really want to see Bedowski, Mrtka, Novikov and Komarov Really need to see Wahlberg Östlund and Rosen hands down better then anyone else there

A bit awkward, eh?

I do get a kick out the Bills' press release not mentioning the Leafs. Effectively they were alluding to connections with the other MLSE properties but not with the Leafs which is at least nice.

Not sure that blueline is tall enough with... 4 guys 6'4" or taller.

I don't love it, of course. But I acknowledge that it's inevitable, unavoidable, etc. In order to keep their place in the modern NFL eco$y$tem, the Buffalo Bills need a chunk of Greater Toronto's corporate largesse. And the new stadium gives them the best point of leverage they've ever had. They can probably persuade monied Torontonians (corporate leaders) to come to Buffalo for a weekend and be hosted at a suite for a game (or several games). This plan looks more intentional, more thoughtful than what Russ Brandon slapped together. The admission of minority stake owners McGrady and Carter are of a piece with this. One final thought: The NFL still wants a dedicated NFL brand presence in the GTA. The Bills need to respond to that vacuum on the NFL's behalf.
