Panger on the Blues broadcast last night also commented on his stellar play over past few games. For me, he's good enough to win with. Would be nice to see him steal one but always seems to come up 1 short. Do also question his crazy and how that fits with this young group of players who have not had NHL success.

Tarasenko owned the Sabres. Baited Jack with casual speed in neutral zone, bursts on entry, Jack is flat. Seems Kane should have been deeper but is also flat, T goes in alone, scores. Jack slams stick on post in fit. Pommers gives Lehner "please don't cry this time" pat on entry to tunnel.

Lol at Holzinger. Owned.

Just noticed that. Defining moment of season? Eichel needs to be $ in OT penalty shot. His e-leet talent drew the penalty but finish or you are Brian Holzinger. 8 goals in 29 games zzzzzzz. And Risto needs to figure it out. Sure lots of minutes and love the rough stuff but come on dude, no naps allowed.

Eesh. More micro - they've lost 5 in a row. We're screwed.

Yeah I hear ya. Ethereum and LTC are still reasonable on a per coin basis.

Naw. Maybe I did it wrong?

Cryptocurrency!

Ryan O'Reilly leads the league in suck at -19 through 27 games. Did you know that current or former Sabres hold 12 of the worst 50 in plus/minus so far this year? Add Pysyk, Stafford, Vanek to our current guys. Looking at top 50 in scoring, just 1 of 50. E Kane. Fortunately for me, high school hockey at 7.

Triggers Mike Wilson, #4. Was not fast. Anyways, go on JBot. Hopefully just getting started.

Completely agree on both points. Hamilton gets Kane to validate his thoughts because Kane is like sure here's your soundbite blah blah blah get me out of here. On the belief piece + coach, just have to ask what this team would look like with Babcock. I think much better. Does Toronto have more talent? Yes seems like a little. And yes our D is injured. But does that account for 10 game gap? Was there Friday for Edmonton. Sold out and full stands. Obviously McDavid + Friday + Holiday helps. First period both teams looked completely uninspired and boring. Sat w/ Chet & Muffy, 9th row blue line. After one whistle I could hear a guy in section across ice from mine chirping Jack (probably after he missed the net for the 6th time). If I could hear it, Jack could hear it. Back to EDM game + booing. ROR was single biggest Sabre suck in that game in my opinion. I think he had 5 consecutive turnovers via bad passes through neutral zone. He got mildly booed by the crowd (myself included), unsure if it was audible on TV.

Part 2 of this is a great point. Been a fan for >20 years. This season has been by far the most difficult.

Nice LTS. Thx Shadow. Minn has taken 9 of last 12 available points. But hopefully they are checked-out on the road against a crappy team day the before T-day. Then Friday we get Edmonton who's a huge mess and in the middle of a nasty road trip themselves. Time to turn it around!

Which is what we wanted too, especially coming off of OSP.

I appreciate this. I supported the tank, but the last couple weeks have changed my mind. Our tank is complete, we have 0 elite players. I'm not buying the "keep waiting". Chicago - Kane was year 3, Pittsburgh - Crosby year 4. Where are we, year 3 right and bottom of league? Our tank failed. Next, build a competitive team through the farm please. Red Wings, Ducks, Devils, Rangers, Sharks, Preds.

I would see it as cashing out more so to distance themselves from the draining suck / wasted energy we are all feeling. I suspect they are feeling it 10x worse than fans as they actually have some component of responsibility in the equation "what can we do differently?". And I don't think they are at all the problem. Minus TP's initial spend on Erhoff and Leino, and loyalty to LR DR (which I admired at the time) their recent stuff / hires have not been out of the box. Look around the leagues you'll find some exceptions of "great owners" and "bad owners" but I don't think it's that simple. As for thread topic - build through Amerks is all I got.

Risto "Week to week" I believe. He's on IR so maybe around Christmas? Crazy no goals from blue line again, second year in a row. That has to change so I pick Scandella tonight.

Chris Drury?

Solid W for OSP :P. Says he will donate the cash winnings to Autism Center. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-5087289/Billionaire-wins-50K-lawsuit-yacht-decorating-tab.html Next up, culling of the geese.

This is life in WNY. $40.00 per thousand assessment is a good rule of thumb, the bulk of which is school tax. We have the highest rates in USA last I read deeply on it. So $200k house is $8k per year. My understanding is that the rates are not different for lake-front vs non-lake-front, so you have to fight assessment which Golisano has been successful with in the past. Finger Lakes real estate is on fire, so assessments go up and long time owners get mad. All said housing costs are lower here than elsewhere, so rate looks worse, but our schools are generally pretty great, but also tons of state pensions to pay, etc etc.

Force locals to manage. If they can't manage they look up to state "yo, change this", state to fed, etc. Smart approach from my view. Not like he pays income tax :nana:
