Not just moving up a round and a half, moving up a full season too. So, in typical value chart calculations it's like moving up 2-1/2 rounds in a single season.

But could there possibly be 2 consecutive days that highlight the differences between the Bills and the Jest any more than these past 2? Signing Cooper as a rental for a 3rd & $800k when you have 2 2nds (plus who knows, maybe you get something else as FA loss compensation) when you desperately need an adequate WR1 vs signing Adams for a 3rd and $11MM this year and $35MM next year and $40MM the YEAR AFTER THAT when the QB you have that desperately wants him is 50-50 to even bother coming back next year. One of these things is not like the other.

Not remotely surprising. And don't really see it helping them that much. Wonder if any of A-A-Ron's other besties from his Packers days are floating around the league. Will be interesting to see how much, if any, money the Raiders retained. Because without retention there's no way the Bills could've been in on that one. (And while they really need WR help; not sure if trading for a more injury prone Diggs is the right way to fix that this year.)

PTR is doing so; but he's the only one I know for sure is. He said that if you watch the games after the fact; that there is no sound, only video.

No love for Epenesa? Not taking away anything from the 4 you thought stood out; they did. But AJ had just as big a game as those other 4 and just like if any of those other 4 aren't doing their thing the Bills lose this one; take his play out and they lose this one.

Or not. Otters won in OT. Foegle had a chance as the buzzer went but couldn't get the puck to his stick. (Had a wide open net if he could've handled the pass.)

Boston hosting FLA right now too. And the Utes at Joisey. Pretty sure it's Columbus Day.

And now 7-7. If Kings stay out of the box, they should pull it out.

Stupid Otters just went up 7-6 1/2 way through the 3rd period. Kings have 6 goals on only 20 shots. 4 PP goals for the Otters on 6 opportunities.

IF they somehow don't manage to write that ship, he needs to be a Toronto ML next year, STAT! (They obviously almost definitely will right the ship; but it is kind of fun to think they won't.)

Personally, am hoping Benson stays on the Thompson line when Peterka comes back because Peterka and Quinn have killer chemistry and Cozens absolute best production came from being in the "toe" spot off of tic-tac-toe plays. Cozens, as a Sabre, has not been an effective scorer EXCEPT when he was with Frick & Frack. Especially with a defensively sound 3rd line and a legit energy line as the 4th line; would 100% be willing to put that line together and deploy it the way the RAV line was back in the day. Maybe he'd be able to then sustain what he does with that line after he's gotten some confidence back in his shot or maybe they'd have to keep it together; but either way, THAT is IMHO how you get Cozens back on track.

Surprised nobody mentioned the choice of the goal song being another example of "Pegula is cheap." Not sure exactly at what point the royalty rates shift, but after so many years artist's performances royalty prices reduce (couldn't find it on line when that occurs) and Kickstart My Heart almost certainly is in that realm of reduced royalties.

Mentioned to wifey she may not have a great voice but she has a nice set of lungs. The look back said we are not impressed. (Well, at least not both of us. This kid was impressed.)

Weird thing is, Kickstart came on the radio this afternoon and listening to it thought the Sabres probably wouldn't even pick something that good for the goal song; so yea us. Apparently the B&R goal song will be Song 2. Can get behind both if we get to hear them more than 2x per game.

Probably shouldn't have. At least they figured out entries and that the drop pass is imbecilic.

No data. Just know he played for them in the preseason against the Sabres.

THAT was the right call. Zucker for roughing was absolute bull squat.

Seriously P-Ham, 3rd & 4th string goalies are beating them? Markstrom, Sabre killer Jake Allen, & Darcy Kuemper are 3rd & 4th string goalies? Go #### yourself.

Benson on the ice and Bryson nowhere to be found. Guess that "game time decision" has been made. But Gilbert is there, so maybe it IS a GTD.

Already found our seats.

Over by the Labatt's Blue Zone or up in the 300's near the 50-50 stand. Taro's in!

That's good too. Noticed that nobody has suggested going to Southern Tier. (Personally, believe there's good reason for that. 😉 )

In Buffalo? Rarely. Though they were very good 2 years ago against the Sabres. Not so much last season.

Just go to Union Pub. Good food. Good service. Decent beer selection. Just on the other side of the ballfield so pretty much as close as Pearl St.

Houser is on an AHL deal with the Amerks. Tokarski is in Otterland.
