  1. He actually runs a farm now. Does some standup touring mostly for fun, brings his rescue dog on stage with him. Seems to have settled into life.
  2. All three at once, in an event that will only be spoken of in dark back rooms and alleyways.
  3. Okie dokie
  4. I don't even know if I'd bring him in for that. Just can't imagine leaning on that guy all season long and having it pay off. It's better if he gets a lighter load in the regular season on a team where that doesn't hurt, and then he can ramp up come playoff time.
  5. Yup. Rust is a guy you add if you're making a Cup run. Not if you're trying to stop your team from sh*tting down its legs for the 15th year in a row.
  6. Man, this league doesn't need MORE games. It needs fewer games. They should go back to 60 games or something. Let these guys have more gas in the tank for the playoffs and start the playoffs sooner.
  7. Can't believe he and Levi were teammates.
  8. When a guy named Kesselring wants to be part of "the solution"
  9. I think the players should party even harder. Games will be a breeze if your body is used to showing up for practice on 4 hours of sleep, hungover, mouth tasting like an ashtray. We called that sandbagging in my day.
  10. This is the thing. Intertextuality. This move will be evaluated based on what came before (nothing great) and what comes after. If the Sabres actually use the cost savings they've achieved, and the players they've added help round the roster out, then all of a sudden this specific trade looks great. But right now the cheese stands alone.
  11. I agree. I just wonder what exactly that ask was. We'll probably never know.
  12. Kyrou would have been a nice get but I have to assume the Sabres would have been adding a LOT more than Peterka in that deal...
  13. They got something different with the return on Peterka. Would love to see the Sabres trade for Rossi and then they still suck and everyone hates him. Because that's how it would go.
  14. Couldn't imagine caring about Marco Rossi. He's small and the Wild aren't that good. The Sabres trading for him would be more of the same.
  15. If that helps the Sabres avoid a 10+ game losing streak then we'll be more than happy with it.
  16. It's nice seeing the analysis come in that make this trade seem a little more sane. I have no affinity for most of the Sabres as I find them to be a catastrophically soft team despite their ability to score a boatload of goals. So I don't really care if guys like Peterka get moved. He had flashes of real skill, but I can't say he was all that compelling. Certainly not a guy you'd point to and say "he's key to winning a playoff series." Maybe he'll get there, who knows. Utah thinks so, I guess. Good for them.
  17. How about now? 😛
  18. Dabbling in hyperbole today are we? Everyone has been extolling his excellence when paired with Tage, I don't think this situation is that different beyond the fact that Tuch is a better player than MM was (which I already said). But he's also the kind of player who could either play another 10 years, or have his legs give out in 3. It's a risk. They should extend him because it's good for the team in the short term. But if they aren't sniffing the playoffs next year, they may be wise to use his good contract value and the raising cap to recover assets before it's too late.
  19. This is Matt Moulson with a little more talent. The Sabres should be trying to extend him, but if they don't take a big jump this coming season, they should be looking to trade him sooner rather than later. Hopefully he can stay healthy and keep producing even if the team is bad.
  20. There was a time in hockey where guys genuinely hated each other, so the fighting made sense. I think they mostly see each other as colleagues now. Co-workers for the same boss. But there are still too many guys in the league, Tom Wilson for example, who are dangerous to their fellow players. And they need to be handled accordingly. I'd like to see harsher penalties for fighting in the NHL but it needs to be accompanied by greater scrutiny and penalties for players who put other players in danger of serious injury, either intentionally or recklessly.
  21. I actually think he can do it. He plays the game the right way, which I think is going to pay off for him real soon. He's still so young.
  22. I agree with this. I feel like so many of the Sabres fights, when they do happen, are kinda comical or irrelevant.
