Each teach team gave up a stinker gift. OT is the best.

Now I have a sad. Oh, well. I only wanted to go to see a show like that. I guess with the money, I’ll now get to see three shows that I really want to see. Have an awesome time.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

So, is this ticket still available?

My post states that I want the exact opposite.

A hope to not watch the worst hockey imaginable? This team just gives its assets away to the rest of the league for nothing and wonders why it sucks. They didn't learn from Mogilny, Hasek, Peca, Drury, Briere, the blood letting of the Tank, Kane, ROR,... And now we want to do it with the tankfruit!? When you have talent, you keep talent and try to get more. You don't blame it for losing and get rid of it, then HOPE that the next roll of the dice is the answer. HOPE is not a strategy. Whatever.

A fools hope.

Sure. Training camp. Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of a professional hockey player fracturing a rib on a slap shot before. Also, what would the contractual ramifications be if he was injured in the offseason? RK’s vague responses to the injury questions raised my spidey senses.

His release is crazy.

That first video is idiotic.

Label says 750.

He showed up to camp injured. Don’t some people believe that he actually injured himself in the weight room last offseason?

So, say Eichel, Reinhart, and Risto are all gone next year, and the Sabres are really good. Do we say that it’s because of the tank, or in spite of it?

Interesting. I was going to say that life is too short to waste vacations on family.

All true. But we would not have intentionally lost for 2+ years. Still trying to figure out why the right path to getting better now is to draft well and build a solid prospect pool, but it wasn’t back then.

You mean, there is something worse than last place?!

um, I’m trying to understand how this team could be worse off having picked 13 or 14...

Until our plan to get better isn’t to get rid of our good players and then hope, I see no reason to think that things will change moving forward. It’s like the ***** Tank taught us nothing.

Love the Superman by the Vegas Man.

I find the (IMO) mental gymnastics needed to believe that the tank worked interesting. I also think everyone is arguing the wrong thing. If a "successful" Tank is only successful if there is then a successful rebuild afterward, then whyTF tank? Just F'n rebuild!! It's even more confusing when I see the continued defense of the tank juxtaposed with the adoration of "how Carolina is doing it." Whether it was a success or not (I think not) it was not our only option and we didn't need to do it ,as some have said.

Then just say "Risto is part of the problem." There is 100% chance that I may get cancer. The 100% serves no purpose other than to be dramatic.

I’d love to see numbers that Risto rims the puck out any more than any other defensemen on any other team. Not saying you are wrong, just curious if the numbers match your I test. And Risto is still the best on the team at tying up a forward on those 50/50 pucks, where a teammate then gets the puck, a play that happens way more often than him rimming the puck out with no stat.

I don’t think 100% means what you think it means. It’s like saying literally when you don’t mean literally.

But it did give them an advantage. There was a player involved in the offense who shouldn’t have been because he should have still been on the bench until his teammate came off.

They kinda brought it on themselves. It's just really bad optics to be talking about maintaining your lifestyle, while the world was getting laid off and you were playing a part in that, by laying off the very people who are supposed to help you make your crappy team better.
