K-9

Not gonna predict goals or assists, but I will predict a handful of plays leading to goals and assists that will never show up on a stat sheet. Plays that are a result of his sheer tenacity in his pursuit of the puck.

I’ve never heard it so I’ll give it a listen. If the lyrics are as perfect for him as the title itself is, then it’s even more perfect.

Is there a more perfect song for anyone than the one for Dylan Cozens?

Mitts will make waves

As one of only a handful of 2023 draftees to make their starting lineups, I have to believe Benson will be noticed and hyped if he produces.

Your concern is in the right place. And like you suggested, we can discuss the ongoing situation in the thread you started for that purpose. This thread is about Joe Biden’s presidency and is where I decided to comment about the false far right narrative about Joe Biden, the six billion dollars, and his “complicity” in the terrorist attack on Israel. When prominent republicans, several of which are running to be their party’s nominee for the presidency, deliberately manufacture and spread lies like that, it needs to be condemned by republicans everywhere and I just haven’t seen it. But we shouldn’t be surprised as the GOP has adopted yet another lie as part of their strategy. Especially when the RNC chairperson herself says the attacks are “a great opportunity for GOP candidates.” Disgusting on every level.

All of that is true, especially the part about other revenue streams for terrorists in the region. And Iran is far from the only entity in the region that does it, too. But the deliberate lies being told by prominent republican politicians is disgusting, even for them. Tim Scott was on Laura Ingraham and spewed lie after lie after lie about Joe Biden and how he is responsible for the attack on Israel for no other reason than to score some political points that won’t help him one way or the other. No surprise that the network that deliberately lies to their audience would give him the platform to spew his bullsh*t. They are doing nothing but providing comfort to the terrorists by doing so.

Aside from a few Sabres, Ovi ranks as my favorite player of all time. While some of that may have to do with living in DC for 30 years, most of it is just because he plays the game the right way.

Agree entirely that ESPN was polishing Bedard’s knob the entire evening, but that’s not Bedard’s fault in the least and anyone upset with Bedard for that reason needs to be upset with the network instead. I enjoyed watching the kid play and it’s easy to see why the hype is there. He’s gonna be one of the greats before he’s done in this league.

This narrative being put forth by the far right regarding Biden and the $6b is doing nothing but comforting Hamas and Hezbolluh. And the fact it’s being used as political fodder for the likes of Pence, Scott, MTG and other shameless far right republicans makes it even more tragic while innocent people are being slaughtered. Not that it matters to anyone only interested in pushing lies about the six billion dollars, but Iran doesn’t have control over the funds as they are being held in restricted accounts in Qatari banks and can only be drawn by vetted third party vendors of food, medicine, medical products, and agricultural products. All transactions will be monitored by the Treasury Department and the US has oversight of every transaction. Furthermore, the US can stop any transactions from taking place and can also re-freeze the accounts if necessary. The far right extremists pushing these lies would be better off looking at Russia’s complicity in making sure the terrorists are well stocked with rockets and other weapons of mass destruction.

I mean isn't that what we all witnessed when he was on the ice? It was blatantly obvious.

I’d be surprised if Levi doesn’t use this as fuel.

Thought Marty made a great point about Benson when he said that regardless of who his line mates have been, he has been the line driver for that line. No surprise given how determined he is in puck pursuit.

Nifty pass by Benson and Mitts shows the sick hands.

This team ain’t ready for the season. Not by a long shot.

Levi has to be better there.

If you look closer, it says you can watch some games on sabres.com and some games on MSG.

That’s my hope as well.

I wonder who this bodes worse for, UPL, Comrie, or neither because they’ve already decided on the three headed goalie monster. If not the latter, then I’d say it’s worse for UPL.

I understand all that, but that’s no reason to downplay what Benson has shown in the preseason, so until he does look overwhelmed, it’s all we have to go by. And it’s worth noting he hasn’t been skating entirely against scrub lineups, either. He’s held his own against some very good players this preseason. Now maybe he routinely gets his ass handed to him in practice and the coaches feel differently about his chances, but we haven’t seen that evidence to date.

The one thing Benson hasn’t looked like the entire preseason is overwhelmed. Quite the opposite in fact.

Tuch playing like a hot mess so far this period.

CBus going with a heavyweight lineup. Gonna be a good test for the boys I think. Time for Oopie to step up and stake a claim. Yeah, right. Who am I kidding.

I’d start with changing the sheets.
