That’s my point. He is the exact same player. He was always good on the boards and made plays to get the puck to guys. It’s just on Colorado, those guys are there to finish. They weren’t on the Sabres. Jeeze, is sub context really that difficult.

Saying the tank worked to perfection is like saying that the attack on Pearl Harbor was an absolute success. You then go on to say that we are finally getting to the log jam where prospects have to fight to get to the NHL club. Why didn’t we just start there?! The Tank was pointless, and it is ridiculous to think that it was a viable path to building a team. You keep saying that the tank was the only way we could acquire the top end talent we were incapable of getting otherwise. I’m calling BS as you, yourself, have had dissertations on this site about how there is talent available everywhere in the draft. All the things you mention in your post about where we are now as positives have nothing to do with the Tank and came in spite of it, not because of it. It was ***** stupid from the get go and no amount of mental gymnastics is going to change my mind. I’m glad you can look back on it fondly.

I want to see a video of Lindy whacking Tage in the head a la Luke Adam. I think he needs it. Tage is my biggest question mark for next season.

Is it not? I’m still on the fence about Byram. He’s still so young and I’m tired of waiting, but the Casey that is on Colorado right now was never going to be that Casey with the Sabres, just due to his place in the lineup, so I’m not against the trade. I just hope Bo turns into what we all hope he will be.

It was 85 here yesterday. Not a fan. @Wyldnwoody44 I think A-lines are really cool, at least the idea of them, but do they ever not look like you got bit in the jungle and now have dengue fever?!

It’s time. We finally care about now. The future can ***** off.

Sure. Hope that helps you sleep at night.

I hope he and Okposo get the Cup. They’re my routing interest in these playoffs. Them or Vegas. When I think of what a GD abomination the Tank was I still get so ***** mad. The very idea of it was just so ***** stupid.

If all the players that came off ir for Tampa can remember how to play, this could turn into a series.

Florida is toying with Tampa. They’re going to do just enough to win tonight. Of course, Tampa scores as soon as I say that.

Who’s to say I didn’t? The catheter was out before I woke up.

Yes. Tampa.

How good did it feel to start this thread?! I’m trying to figure out a way that last Friday was my last day ever. Don’t think it’s going to happen, though, damn brain surgeons are too good these days.

Charging, if anything. He’s a repeat offender, so he’ll get something. Great hit, though.

Got to wash my hair last night. Never really understood why people got piercings. I think I get it now. These staples look freakin’ cool. Might just be my new look.

His name is my name, too!

I would bet money that they know English just fine. It’s just easier than telling you they don’t care.

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.
