  1. Sign UPL obviously, but Joker could leave and we wouldn’t miss a beat. He’s a third pair at best. At best.
  2. Adams was hired because Boterrill refused to adhere to the new pandemic austerity measures and fire scouts and others in hockey ops. It was a surprise because only week’s earlier, he received a strong vote of confidence from Kim Pegula.
  3. Bruins are my second most hated team, but I’ll be rooting for them to sweep my first most hated team in the playoffs.
  4. Same here. But apparently, dreaming is frowned upon around here.
  5. He, Girgs, and Skinner should write a book.
  6. The Sabres bottom line may not be a blip on TP’s business radar, but it’s the lifeblood for the the 250+ employees of the team. While revenue losses, especially during the pandemic didn’t phase TP’s bottom line relative to his other vast business holdings, it very much negativity impacted many Sabres employees, so I think it’s important to separate TP “losing money” and the Sabres losing money.
  7. Yep. Like Buddy used to say, we’re all tryin’ to rob the same train.
  8. I just know the boys will carry this momentum all the way in to next season!
  9. Grammatical errors are somebody else’s job. Mine is to light heartedly bust chops when we confuse the cozens. Or is it cousins? I hope you didn’t take offense.
  10. Certainly the ultra wealthy are going to get the most prime rate and there are more lending outlets of differing types available to them, but I don’t know if they get interest free loans as a matter of course.
  11. Some interesting economic discussion. I’ll add that there’s a difference between asset appreciation/depreciation and cash profits/losses and that borrowing money, unless it’s an interest-free loan, is always going to cost more than the amount borrowed. As it relates to Pegula and the Sabres, the huge increase in the value of his franchise vs. what he paid for it initially has no real cash value until it’s liquidated and there are valid business reasons why he wouldn’t borrow against that asset value currently. While Pegula (and other owners) didn’t lose value during the pandemic, they lost well over a billion dollars in real revenues that sharply impacted the bottom line. Anyone know the outcome of the suit that Pegula, 19 other owners, and the NHL brought against the insurance company to recoup those pandemic losses? Last I heard, the insurance company refused to pay because the insurance company claims that the pandemic losses are excluded from coverage.
  12. Has the rebuild failed? Failed!? Why, it’s only just begun! So let’s exercise a little patience, ok folks?
  13. Novikov made a beautiful play on Kulich’s 2nd goal yesterday. Good move to get around a defender, drawing attention, and then making a sweet dish to Kulich alone at the net.
  14. Moose Jaw turns the tables and beats Swift Current by the same 7-2 score in the game they lost last night. Savoie with two apples.
  15. Great play by Barkov to lift Cozens’s stick, though. Sometimes you gotta tip your hat to a good player.
