K-9

Hart contender. Nothing less. Then again, I’m easy to please.

Quinn looked noticeably slower last night vs Tuesday against the Blue Jackets. I wonder if fatigue wasn’t a big factor in his play as it wears on you just as much mentally as it does physically.

Not surprised since Harrington gets most of his ideas from this forum to begin with.

Malodorous wankers

I suspect it’s rarer than Sabres players named Jack. Anyway, regarding suspension, I wonder if the Sabres can do that if he refuses their prescribed treatment? But even if they can suspend him without pay, it’s something I hope they would never do. That seems punitive given they would have been happy to pay him if things were different.

I expect John Hayden to change his first name to Jack so that @LabattBlue and I can put another one in that name column.

Kris Letang says, “Hi.”

Mostly wistful

Well, I got nothin. To think we’ve had as many Raffis as Jacks.

I can’t recall any, either, at the moment. Johns or Jacques count?

Yeah, but those gardening gloves really popped!

Given what little anyone has seen or heard from him, it almost seems like John is there already. Almost.

Adams needed to keep Ullmark if only to prevent @MODO Hockey from leaving, no longer sharing panny videos from Sweden, and becoming a Bruins fan.

When Lehrer first spoke about his demons, he was very effusive in his praise of the entire Sabres staff for helping him get the help he needed and the continued support they provided. He had nothing but nice things to say at the time. Fast forward a year later or so when he was having great success with the Islanders and it was a whole different story. He trashed the organization and then he saw fit to trash the fans and that’s where he lost me. I sincerely wish him well in his recovery, but I don’t have any other kind words for him. He can go screw himself for taking cheap shots at us fans.

…yet.

Good luck in your continued recovery, Robin.

It’s a F ing joke for crissakes! It wasn’t directed at you or anyone else in the least. I think you’re just angling for an argument, but I’m not gonna indulge you. Have a good evening.

The thread has become a needed repository for general opinions regarding the Eichel situation more than it is about any specific trade scenarios at the moment and I don’t see that as a negative, necessarily. Perhaps a thread title change would help?

And yet when players exercise their right to go elsewhere for more money, some will insist on blaming Adams, anyway. If it were strictly a matter of a few more bucks for Linus, then I have to question how committed he was to ever staying in the first place. I imagine his mindset was like others of his time here and he really wanted to leave, anyway. I always liked Linus, Risto, and Reinhart and I thank them for their time here, but they wanted fresh starts and nobody can blame them for that given the lack of success while they were here. But like it or not, they were part of that lack of success and imo it was time to move on, regardless.

Yeah, but Adams has “full authority” over the situation!😀

I vote sink or swim. I’m not sold that every young player needs development in the A. Peterka strikes me as the kind who is up for the challenge.

Well, if it’s true that he’s got Skinner to dedicate himself to getting better in practice, then yes, I’ll go out on a limb and say he’s the best since Lindy. It’s a low bar to be sure, but I like how he seems to conduct himself as a coach.

Dunleavy is insufferable.
