They're both bad though

Oleksiak and Larsson as bottom pair guys basically rules out a spot for Borgen.

I hadn't noticed the smoke much yesterday and even this morning when I was outside at UB. But it seems to have gotten quite a bit worse as the day has gone on. It's downright bad outside right now.

He should report that I'm interested in a nap.

It would be funny though, for the people who believe that Eichel demanded a trade, for Eichel to get totally dissed by the trade market.

That rumor thread got closed right after I made a funny joke and now I don't get any clout! Horse hockey!

To be fair to the cesspool, this Risto stuff is the fault of the Die by the Blade guys. They have way too much influence.

It's way too early to try to make a guess on this. We have no idea what the Sabres roster is going to look like in October.

Yup. I think it'll be Miller.

Let the whinging and gnashing of teeth begin

But I want to be upset today!

Eichel gonna net us a space shuttle

Cool. Maybe we shouldn't engage in it so heavily then if our brains are so broken that nothing good or interesting is ever produced. Criticize Jack for the stuff that actually happened if you want. The rest is just imagination land nonsense.

It's not even revisionist as much as it is a fabrication. PA isn't really criticizing Eichel, he's criticizing the version of Eichel he's built in his brain from little bits and pieces and a whole lot of Bondo.

You're into edging eh?

You should be a paperback writer.

I agree with this entire post.

See my edit. You're putting way too much thought into this.

He just wants to be back on the ice as fast as possible. I've got no complaints. If his conviction is that the organization has no credibility then maybe he's right. And maybe his teammates agree with him... Edit: I want to add that if decisions about this franchise are being made over something as inconsequential as hurt feelings, we're in big trouble.

That's where we're going to have to agree to disagree then. I think it was a nothingburger.

I think people read way too much into that press conference about his injury. It was a nice piece of theater on Jack's part to try to get the surgery he wants. I understand why he did it and I don't think it's as damaging to the business relationship as everyone else thinks it was. I'm sure Adams and co knew it was coming and weren't concerned one way or another.

That's generally how I see it. But I've seen enough of a sample size from the fan base at large to know that way too many people have turned on Jack very quickly. It's sad.

Ugly stuff.

The amount of people who have already turned on him/decided he's the villain, is staggering.

I think the nuance I want to try to strike is that: -Jack is fine with being traded -Jack never demanded it -If it happens, it's because the front office wants it to
