  1. Between Mitts and Benson Greenway may very well find out he can score goals on the regular. Assuming he makes it past the first nine games, which I would wager there is a strong likelihood he will, they're going to need to set up a little cot in the locker room for Benson come February for naps. Perhaps they'll have to force-feed him proteins as well. I'm sure that will go over like a lead zeppelin. Hopefully he can teach the rest of the offense how to play two-way hockey - he looked like the most skilled at it. Let's see, what else is there...can we not ever, ever bring up the stupid situation comedy again when referencing this kid? I think that's it, other than good luck, kid! Too bad our goalie situation wouldn't miraculously solve itself like your arrival in Buffalo seemed to occur!
  2. Some of you people are ridiculously petty. My kids went to Catholic school and as part of the parents' service I worked bingos for many years. Some of you give the worst of that population a run for the money. Peters had initially said 10.5 x 8 then said he heard from one source 5 years. Isn't it possible that the Sabres offered 10.5 x 8, Dahlin's team balked because they were looking at Matthews' strategy and/or felt Dahlin should get more, and so the Sabres upped it to 11 x 8 after the cap news came out? Or, maybe the deal was really close all summer at 10.5 x 8 but Dahlin's team was waiting for cap news to come out. Maybe they put out the 5 years rumor to influence the final number. Stuff like this happens all of the time in high profile negotiations.
  3. Yes, the thread really didn't need to proceed after this post. I think @Curt nailed it - if they wanted Dahlin for more than, say, five years, they were going to have to pay him absolute top dollar. And they did, so that's that.
  4. If the season falls apart they will be pointing to this game where the Bills exceeded the threshold where injuries become a impediment to overall success.
  5. Who is "6K" supposed to refer to?
  6. Having never been to an Amerks game, what is the experience like? I'm talking about parking access and prices, walk to the arena, concessions, seats...stuff like that.
  7. I don't see how one can get super excited over a prospect during preseason games and ignore the rest of the team when they play awful. To accept that they're meaningful to a certain group and not another is simply making excuses for deficiencies. I think these games at the very least are indicators of the raw talent and focus of each individual player at that time. I'm particularly interested in the focus because if it's low that just means it will take more time at the beginning of the season for them to catch up - if they catch up at all. As we all know, every game in the season is meaningful when it comes to making the playoffs.
  8. Apparently the top 6 doesn't have the IQ to play this system as well.
  9. If you listened to Dunleavy you would probably have thought it was Joki skating up the middle when it was Mitts.
  10. What is the record of success/accuracy for these odds makers?
