There is lying, and there is stretching the truth. Does it even really matter, though? Everybody knows the deal.

Absolutely, that roster competition last year in training camp was ridiculous. They should have known the roster going in to camp. So dumb.

I don’t. He’ll just sit them. Playing time is how you punish players.

We won’t win the cup until you use we’d have or we’d’ve or we would’ve instead of we’d of. Sorry, couldn’t let it go since the common mistakes thread.

I thought he should have been in the lineup more often, especially if the decision was made based on anything related to the Sabres’ “power play” this year.

And yet we didn’t get past Carolina. I love revisionist history. It’s always right and can’t be proven wrong. I include my take, as well. That is a good point about returning players, though. I still think the entire exercise is pointless.

That Edmonton team was tough. They had Peca, Pronger,.. they were no sure thing for that Sabres team.

I don’t know what that means.

Meh. Not unless we got Pronger kicked out of the scf series as well.

This should only be the case if the phantom internal cap is lifted. Which, we all have to pray, is.

Thus the left channel only. They gave the right to the press. Still bush. There’s a button.😂 I’m familiar with his unhappy as well. 13 years’ll do that to some folk. Make that one change and you nailed it. Didn’t he get let go from NJ? Maybe this was the plan all along.😂 I’ve felt that way for a while now. Great post. I disagree. Lindy’s style was always 5 men in, 5 men back, with a goalie that can withstand all the odd man rushes that that gives up. If Power contributes to the offense in any way that is meaningful, it will be way more beneficial to the team than any added defense he could add. Wasn’t there a chart showing that he’s actually the best at it?

First round. I have no problem with it. At least they are trying to win. I hate what our gm/owner has done way more,… “cheating” to get to the cap floor?!

Just not sure when I’ll feel up to it, yet. I keep telling myself I have to slow down. I just got home today.😂

Oh, you betcha!!!! Already booked a room at my buddiy’s house in Lewiston for laker fishin’!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Found out by chance that I had a brain tumor in February of 22 got it removed to a full recovery, including the best season of snowboarding I’ve ever had. This was the first time. been Under constant survalance ever since on a clinical trail. They found some regrowth really early so they went in yesterday with the Mellon baller and scooped the bad it out. I’m home a day later with no pain and six weeks off from work. Kinda amazing.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Just so you know, brain surgery is basically outpatient, now. Had surgery yesterday, home today on here. Crazy, I heard Ruff is back. It’s like I never left. I’ve gone full Hellraiser.

I’d settle for being his Miller.

Let’s hope UPL is his new Hasek.

Maybe the one thing that could get @Eleven back to SabreSpace. I welcome his return, probably more than Ruff’s

There are a couple of players I have serious doubts about. They are going to have to show me a lot more than they have so far for me to change my mind on them. I’m still not laying this on the coach, yet. From the other thread: I think I have a different take on this. Even now, the players are not taking the responsibility themselves for playing like garbage, and they’re blaming the coach. Weren’t they the one’s who had a hissy fit when the fans chanted fire Donnie, so they had to punish the fans by ignoring them? Gimme a break. We’ll see. Talk is talk, and we’ll see just how motivated these spoiled brats are next season. I sooo want to like my team again.

I like this thread. Every once in a while I like to be reminded of just what a steaming pile of garbage Twitter (and, no, Elon, you douche, I will not call it X) is and why I never click on links.
