OK, I'm on urbandictionary.com right now.

The old saying, Ain't Momma happy, ain't nobody happy comes to mind. Until the Sabres end the drought, ain't nobody happy. Ain't nothin' gonna change. Why another Pegula owned team wouldn't take the same approach his football team took... owning its drought... is beyond me. There's still time for the Sabres to openly make it Mission One. (Of course there's more than just talking about it. No one should want Adams to mortgage the future to make one playoff appearance, but he has lots of room to move on the spectrum of GM moves.) As for talk, they missed an opportunity to set the tone off the opening faceoff of the offseason. In Staal's statement, certainly written by some staffer but OKed by KA I would think, the new assistant wrote, "Throughout my career I was fortunate to be on so many successful teams and I hope I can lean on some of those experiences to help the organization moving forward." How bland. Help? Moving forward? As opposed to backward? Why not: Throughout my career I was fortunate to be on so many successful teams and I hope I can lean on some of those experiences to make the Sabres a similarly successful team and not only end the playoff drought here but do what we did in Carolina: win a Stanley Cup."

Sorry if asked and answered but what will Eric do?

But you love jokes about palms. Just add some wood and you'll be like the rest of us schmucks.

It won't bother this owner. Clearly Eric is a "fine" "young" "man".

Nah, you're good. You're just a different breed of cat. At least here. Actually your approach is very normal among the fan base at large I'm sure. At Cynic Central here, not so much. You and PTR and 7+6 rankle me, but you need the sugar to go with the spice. Honestly I'm also reasonably hopeful next year is the year for aluminum Cups and fancy bunting in the arena (did that tradition make its way from the Aud?). They just have to do it. Just. Do. It. KA, LR and the players could start with a statement about owning the drought.

My meatball farts should be a Glade spray. Sicilian Zephyr.

Apparently. I feel bad because I called for it to be sent to the glue factory. I thought it should be closed, not deleted, and replaced with something better, like LGR's thread today. Even breaking out the Ed Gannon news was a good move. Fresh meat.

To add to LGR's excellent compendium, KA also said he should have done something while the season circled the drain during the losing streak last season.

Well done, Ralph.

The name your horse with a Sabres theme threads back in the day were fun. Was going to restart it this year but Taro is right (write down the date). It's not the same without Drane.

They had to put down Seymour's Pride. They=Terry and Co.

I loved Beane calling out the fantasy schmucks on WGR. Now he needs to tell Schopp to sign up for Gamblers Anonymous.

I'm not mad or freaked out, just curious how this happened: At work I was in a resident's apartment. She has a cell phone. A plush toy Charlie Brown had fallen behind her chair, so I retrieved it for her. I made a Good Grief joke, said that's Charlie Brown's luck and, after seeing her Peanuts calendar, asked her if she liked Peanuts (duh of course, it's just the small talk you make). I got home tonight and was perusing the YouTube app on my TV, and there's a show or documentary about how Charles Schultz created Peanuts. How in the world does that happen? P.S. my phone was outside the apartment and down the hall a short distance.

It's hard to believe it's been one week.

Very descriptive, great goal calls. Some would say over the top, but in a market used to RJ, it would be refreshing. Better over the top than a soggy bottom. Alas, it will not happen.

I got the job. Head of DOUGH for TP. I'm going to make Elon look like your Nana pulling out coupons in line at the grocery store.

So NOW I hear about the victory vest.

Enforcement Administrator Visual Presentation Coordinator. Dude or dudette who instructs the intern to print the names of the officials to hang behind the bench. Hanging of course is done by someone else, as it's a union job.

Lindy's humour: you put shaving cream on Larry Playfair's hand while he sleeps, then tickle his nose. @That Aud Smell

You guessed it... the hyperhidrosis one seems to have been scrubbed from the Net.

How many times are we going to have this thread this offseason?

And he's got the old man smell and droopy lid. Amirite?

I read it. Oh, boy. (Woulda bet it was "heard.")
