Murray has said time and again, almost dismissively, he is not concerned one bit about getting to the floor. The guy should know. Come on, Murray-ites, don't get all wobbly in the knees now.
-
I don't necessarily think that's fair to Regier. He had operated one way for his whole career here and then was given the green light to do whatever he wanted, having no prior experience doing something like that. It would be like being given a ford focus and told to drive the speed limit for 12 years and follow all the rules, then being given a Ferrari and told ignore all the rules and go as fast as you want. Is it at all surprising that he ended up crashing the car?
It's not fair to Regier — someone else was holding the brush.

So we all love Tim Murray. Great talent evaluator. Does his comment about Ehrhoff not improving teams move the needle for anyone?
-
They can bring in his line mate from the Tokyo Katanas, Hysushi Skors ;)
That's pretty good. Pretty, pretty good.
-
Perhaps we should start a thread of the most inaccurate things said about players which somehow became widely accepted?
Ahem. Clears throat. Nah... I'm over it.

d4rk's just mad because Tank is part of the new "core" around here.

When was the last time anyone hated a Sabres draft?
2009
Kassian
McNabb
Foligno
Everyone was all atwitter about the toughness and size Darcy was finally adding.
-
Why not a Taro's Sushi Station in the club section?
Sushimoto's?
-
With the 40 year anniversary of the pick, the Sabres should really consider retiring his number (74) and putting a banner up at the arena. It's a great story from the teams history and should be honored as such.
Great idea. We've retired worse candidates. Not really — cheap shot. I think I suggested a while back that the Sabres even hire a Japanese actor (or one of the Tsujimotos in the Buffalo area) to come onto the ice, make a few comments etc.

How's Kovalchuk doing?
SDS will turn this car around.
-
Anyone else a touch nervous about posting today? It's like you've been riding a bike for 40 years and then someone says, "Ya know, you're pedaling it backwards." And then you're in a ditch.
-
I think this is what SDS is driving at. We had a thread titled Round 2, Pick 31: who will it be? When the Sabres actually picked, a new thread was created with the name of the drafted player. You can easily argue we needed just the original thread, but when I scanned the board, I found out we had picked Lemieux. I'm not following the draft today, didn't even know it started this early, and I wouldn't have known about the pick without the new thread. And it underscores the importance of a good subject line.
-
I just want him to score like his dad in the playoffs. That's all.
Wait, what? Claude's son, not Mario's?
I can't wait to see Rob Ray interview him...
"So your dad's a real a##hole....how does it feel to be drafted?"
He'd ragdoll the kid too?
-
We would blow his toupee off.
Hairpiece? Hmmm. I dunno. It's a good one.
Although I'd hate to see it, it would be pretty good theater if the ruckus is so loud, he knows he can't be heard, and he just leaves the canned speech behind and waves Peca over to get the Cup.
-
I don't see a big problem, but what's being discussed is important.
Let's just all commit ourselves to writing better subject lines, not getting our panties in a wad if a new thread emerges from an existing thread when appropriate — if someone creates a new thread today entitled, "Will Reinhart be in Buffalo next season," no one should say, "hey we're already discussing Reinhart in the draft thread — and being nicer to new posters. On the latter, I try to be, but the behavior of others has been pretty bad at times.
The one unsettling and surprising thing several posters have said is that they don't feel welcome here, or don't feel part of the "core" or feel left out. As one of the most prolific posters, it worries me that I've helped create that feeling. I have to admit, though, I don't have a good handle on what some of y'all are referring to. Can you put a little meat on the bone? What exactly makes you feel that way?

So, here in a few years, Bettman steps onto the Pegula Sports and Entertainment Arena (the PEE-see) ice to award the Stanley Cup (yes, to the Sabres!)... do the boos rain down? On this night of all nights?
-
I wish I could remember where I read this (and I just read it this morning; early senility?) but the writer opined that all this is, is a bunch of GMs trying to improve their odds of getting McDavid. FWIW.

Sorry, I'll fix it, but it's not that misleading.
Since this topic was raised, I want to say something about threads on SS.
I appreciate the desire to maintain efficiency but it can go too far. Funneling new topics into existing threads makes SS look like a dead board.
I'm sure the dozen or so of you who dominate this board would disagree but anyone who is a casual reader would think that nothing is happening here because the topics never change. I don't have the time or the desire read every thread before posting, nor should I have to.
Take sister site TBD an example. There is a constant influx of new topics. Some may be similar to existing threads, and if they are too similar, a mod closes and/or merges it. Every time I come here it looks like nothing has changed in months. And I'm sure others feel the same way.
So lighten up.
Very well said.
There really should have been more lead time.
Also well said, and your last line is the key. The timing does make it look like it's about the Sabres and McDavid.
-
I'm all for discouraging tanking, but the league continues to befuddle with its decision-making process. This change should be enacted two or three years down the road. How can you just pull the rug out from under teams that are operating under league rules and preparing accordingly? It's bush/garage league, and they'll never live down the speculation that they're trying to rig the McDavid draft to get him to a better team/better market.

PA i don't think I have ever said this to you before......... I agree with you
About Eleven's pepperoni? I know, right?
-
That padlocked, empty thread chz created is awesome. Pandora's box. Once it's opened, there's no looking back.
-
TN: Hey Dad, can I hire goalie coach yet? It's been months! Please?
TM: Hush now, Teddy. Can't you see I'm busy with the draft? Go ask Uncle Joey, will ya?
TN: Arrhhh...
I like this "new guy."

Speaking of ralphing, some of you will when I say this:
That Chef Boyardee pizza in a box isn't half bad. It's not half good, either, mind you. There's something about it. Takes me back. Comfort food.
*ducks while some of you get pitchforks. I think I'm safe for awhile, as y'all are busy milling your own homegrown wheat for the crusts you'll be making later. Eleven's pepperoni is probably curing in a dark room as we speak — and yes, that's a euphemism.

It's only Thursday. I want the goddamn draft to be here!
It truly is the best day of the year for Sabres fans. Many Cups will be won tomorrow.

Ehrhoff ran for the bus at the end of the season? Was no one paying attention in October and November? He was pretty brutal the whole way.
