K-9

Hated to see the Jets lose that heartbreaker last night. It was a microcosm of my frustration with Myers over the years as he got abused on that goal last night. He has got to be stronger than that. I think the home crowd will urge the Jets to tie this series before it goes back to SoCal.

Got milk? GO SABRES!!!

So Murray is boxed in and tied to his remarks last night no matter what he says about how great it will be to draft Eichel moving forward. Got it. How about we put you in the same box moving forward? GO SABRES!!!

It's not about the media tricking people. It's about choosing to frame the narrative out of context. You shouldn't expect Murray to be more than what he is. We would all prefer he say the perfect things at the right time all the time. When he spends the next couple months heaping more praise on Eichel as the draft approaches and the media continue to contrast those comments with those from last night, will you appreciate the contrast or seek to hold what he said in the heat of an emotionally charged moment as the one and only true indication of his feelings? The media have already made up their minds. Have you? GO SABRES!!!

Am I to believe Murray was being disingenuous in his effusive praise of Eichel in that presser? As usual, the media are framing a narrative out of context. I'm not surprised some have chosen to agree. Being disappointed in not landing McDavid does not mean being unhappy about getting Eichel. Not even close. GO SABRES!!!

Nice take here. Thanks for trying to track down this quote. I think it was an embellishment of his presser comments. This will be a distant memory when Eichel is taking the opening face off of the season next October. He's at least our best C since Patty and my hunch is he'll end up being the best since Bert by the time it's over. GO SABRES!!!

Well now, you really do have some respect for the process. I'm impressed with your dogged determination not to keep making an ass of yourself. Well done. I'm even less worried about the comment now that I've seen the context of the remark. GO SABRES!!!

Tells who? And again, there is no context at all. None. Regardless of your seemingly agenda driven need to link it to the lottery results. I'm done with you until you can provide relevant information. In the meantime, we all get you are disappointed for the fans in the meantime. GO SABRES!!!

At this point, there's nothing to suggest that Murray made this remark at all. GO SABRES!!!

I've heard others make that comparison. I think it's a combination of his long skating strides, which make him deceptively fast (he's at full speed in two strides) and his longer hockey stick which conjures up images of Lemieux. GO SABRES!!!

Well, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean "I'm disappointed for the fans" when he said weeks ago that he can't stop looking at McDavid when he watches him play. I can see how it makes perfect sense for you to just throw random quotes out there and insist they all mean the same thing. You know, for someone making so much fun of Murray's infatuation with McDavid, you sure seem like a jilted prom date since learning we won't be drafting him. GO SABRES!!!

Thanks, Liger. I'b be interested to know if it's in there. The first time I listened, I didn't hear that. Murray seemed annoyed at the process, but had glowing remarks about Eichel. GO SABRES!!!

He said that weeks ago. WHAT'S THE CONTEXT THOUGH, INDEED!!! GO SABRES!!!

That comment could be about anything which is why context is important. Until I know what the context is, it's just your incessant need to keep projecting your personal disappointment about having to settle for Eichel. And most fans with a clue would be more disappointed about not having pizza logs until October than about drafting Jack Eichel. GO SABRES!!!

So then you don't know the context of Murray's remark regarding the fans being disappointed. Perhaps you could have just admitted that instead of projecting your own profound sense of disappointment at not winning the lottery. GO SABRES!!!

Gee thanks, bud. Like that's obvious from a captured screen shot of a tweet. Some of us just aren't as "in the twitter know" like you. Very impressive. So did Murray say he's sorry for our fans because we didn't win the lottery or not? GO SABRES!!!

The time stamp is two and a half hours before the lottery. What's the context? GO SABRES!!!

YoloinOhio, from Off the Wall at TwoBillsDrive was kind enough to post this over there: Gotta love Aaron Williams. GO SABRES!!!

But another generational talent did end up in the East. His name is Jack Eichel. GO SABRES!!!

And just what is the talent difference between the two? GO SABRES!!!

This is kind of fun. And depressing at the same time. Oddly enough, it came up Sabres 2 out of the 10 times I tried. Hmm. http://nhllotterysimulator.com/#/official

Oh, I like the poetic justice angle, but for me, it's strictly a hockey decision; O'Reilly best serves our needs both in the short and long term given his more complete game. GO SABRES!!!

That's because you can't fire all the players. From the times I watched Boston this year, Lucic seemed more like part of the problem vs. part of the solution for them. I just don't think we'd be getting the Lucic of old. ROR just brings more "hockey" to the equation. GO SABRES!!!

O'Reilly is still ascending while Lucic seems to have plateaued if not regressed. ROR brings more of what this team needs overall. While we all can respect what Lucic brings in the toughness department, we have more grit now as well as some big bodies on the way up eventually. We just aren't the same group of cheap tents we were when Miller got run. I also think there's a chance we bring back Stewart as well. GO SABRES!!!

I think it's Ted Black and that horseshoe up his ass. GO SABRES!!!
