I’ll take things that are true for 1000, Alex.

Both teams were garbage

I'd say it's much more likely that it's due to the NFL allowing private equity to own stakes in teams which will drive up the purchase price of teams.

They jumped over the Sabres and got closer, really close, and they didn't sell off picks/prospects to do it. I'd say that was a small success. I don't watch them enough to know much more.

Wahlberg has a presence I haven’t seen in a Sabre forward since Darcy picked up Dainius Zubrus at the deadline. I mean I saw it playing against kids, but to carry it over against men? Hard to believe he’s 2 months younger than Benson.

So the Wings were smart to lock $30M into Debrincat, Copp, Compher, Chariot, Holl and Husso to not make the playoffs? And Kane “knew something” because he picked the 41-win Wings over the 39-win Sabres? 🤔

Nice choice. You can’t imagine how satisfying it was for a 13-year-old Sabre fan in B.C. to watch his team knock out the Canucks. I got to watch the Sabres a handful of times a year if at all. But everybody in school was watching this. You also wouldn’t believe how easy it was for a young Sabre fan to be arrogantly dismissive of the Canucks back then.

Big if on getting rid of Skinner but Kane was really good coming off a serious hip surgery. He will probably be better next year with a summer of training. Give him a 2 year deal to finish off his career at home.

He extended it to 24 games tonight with an ENG to seal the series for Moose Jaw.

The only way the leafs win is if one of their players takes out Pastrnak with a cheap hit. Who was the maple leafs player that sucker punched the guy who scored on the empty net? Do that again.

Randall suggested the 7-6 Ottawa game for next time. It was fun. Reminders of the past: standup goalies, quick whistle with the puck along the boards, crummy looking nets, Frank Christie, the funky buffalo made by kindergarteners, no ads on the boards, no score or time on the screen...

Eh. Maybe next time. We had reservations for dinner, then we went to the local Art Fest downtown. Got home a little while ago and saw it was a fairly late start so tried to get on.

I read that as I'll be there with a number of bidders.

Randall, Thorny, nellis, Harry Neale, Howie Meeker and a cast of thousands. @dudacek Randall says hi.

You showed up 1 minute after the teams shook hands

Doohickie you just missed it. Sabres onto the second round in that toddling town!

Good question. I'll bet there will be a number of bidders.

Is it still going? I tried to get in but it just said connecting....

Let's put this as a nothing burger for the 4th straight year

If we get rid of Skinner I'm all for it

Exactly, he’s able to turn equity into liquidity without going public. Only significant change will be when they show TPEGS on tv during the game it will say majority owner instead of owner. Maybe he will have to grant minority partner right of first refusal if he decides to sell majority share.

Well I guess this discussion will be back on soon. https://www.nhl.com/news/patrick-kane-unlikely-to-return-to-detroit-red-wings-next-season

Three of us. Come back nellis

His net worth has gone up by 3 BILLION to over 7 BILLION now since he bought the Bills so, I think he is doing kinda alright. Basically the guy gets to pay an arm and a leg to sit in a cool box and talk to some people but have no control of anything. Wonder who will pony up about 750 mil for the right to do that?

Well I think it's obvious they "should" be able to do it themselves, but they didn't and they can't so they need the push and to learn what it takes. Seems simple to me.
