Throw enough of it at the wall, and some of it is bound to stick.

Van Noy needs to call Fowler and offer up words of encouragement after that stiff arm.

Been saying it for years; there’s a difference between being a quarterback and a passer. Too many of us define it by the latter and there’s just so much more that goes into it. JA was a perfect example of that yesterday. I wish he’d slide a bit more, though. Even if he is bigger than most of the guys trying to tackle him.

Making him the highest paid player in league history after the USFL folded certainly helped.

Yes, because none of that actually compares them as hockey players playing the game of hockey.

It’s any self respecting Sabre fan. He’s lucky fans weren’t allowed in the building last year when he blatantly quit playing hockey. I’m surprised one of his own teammates didn’t beat his ass last season. He’s a disgrace.

How is that possible?

I’m well aware of that. What about the five seasons when Dunleavy WAS doing it live from the venue? He’s been horrible since day one, regardless.

Which is why he should be relegated to doing features only.

That’s just Dunleavy projecting his own lack of puck awareness onto the players, which he pretty much does all game, every game. He’s the worst play by play announcer I’ve ever heard in any sport, bar none. Can’t paint a picture to save his life and if you’re listening to the radio vs watching it on TV, you have little clue what’s happening in real time in the game.

I get ZERO joy out of watching Butcher attempt to play. None.

Most welcomed

Quinn had a decent tourney last year. Showed well in fact. Especially on the D side of things, which was surprising.

Regarding R2, when I watch him play for the Amerks, I seem to be watching a different player than when I watch him on the Sabres. He’s much more confident in the A it seems. He needs to trust his game more in the NHL.

The curse of raised expectations. Forces even the best of fans to lose perspective at times.

If Sanders is back, I imagine he will line up as the slot receiver. He’s played it a ton during his career and plays it well. If not him, gotta think it will be McKenzie. Let’s hope it’s Sanders.

Why do you suppose that 15 day time frame applies? Do some digging of your own and find out.

I wish all of your family members well, John. Equating a SARS virus with the common cold is the definition of underrating. It’s a SARS virus for crissakes.

I’d be interested in the data.

It’s still a SARS virus and it is still putting people in hospitals. It’s far from a common cold.

More like Botcher time.

To come from behind twice to get the W, in that barn, against that team really made it a highly satisfying, quality win.

Nah, you never hear, “Fork the mofo!” It’s always, “Shiv the mofo!”

We might actually be seeing a bit of the Tuch effect already in practice. Nobody wants to be the one he replaces and competition for spots is one key to improving.
