    Here we go again.

    I mean looking back I probably have started too many thread akin to this topic. Maybe I should have studied linguistics. This stuff fascinates me.

    So in "The Aud was an odd building," Aud and odd are not, in WNY, pronounced the same?

    Not even close. Awd vs Ahd

    I always enjoy awful company names.  Here's a few I see all the time:

    - Some big bank merger down here has created a bank named Truist.  I don' have much to say about it, but it's a stupid name.
    - A bank up in Boston near my mother-in-law's is called Salem Five Bank.  Each time I see it, I always think it sounds more like the group of people robbing the bank. Why is it always the banks with dumb names?
    - We have two garbage removal companies down here named Junk Doctors and Backwoods Junk Removal.  The jokes write themselves with these names.

    There is a waste management company in the 585 called White Trash Co.  It bothers me. 

  3. Rumor: Tim Graham “Sources He has are strongly hinting this is the end for Kevyn Adams”

    No one reported that Adams had been fired or would be fired on the trip, just that he was going to be fired. If he is, those parties were not only right, but among the first to be right. It would be good reporting.

    So what’s the point of telling the entire fanbase essentially a week before it happens? So we can all speculate? It just leaves too much time for the fans to fabricate what the think is going to happen which inevitably will skew the actual facts because people have already made their own assumptions.  My number one job at work is to control information.  If I don’t do that, our customers and employees will insert their own narrative, whatever that may be. Maybe more fault needs to be directed toward the leak.

    What’s the hold up with this? Did someone from the organization catfish our supposed local media insiders?

    I doubt they would announce this in the middle of a west coast road trip. Which is why all the outlets reporting this look like morons.  I hate this race to report things first nonsense.  It cheapens the product because people are more concerned about being first than being correct.

    So when Entercom changed its name to Audacy, I didn’t think much of it. As we’ve gotten used to the change I still can’t get past the fact that the people they hire for the ads pronounce it “Odyssey”.  Come to find out with the Google, it’s meant to be pronounced like Odyssey.  Outside of the central Pennsylvania, does anyone actually pronounce it that way.  It sure looks like it should be pronounced aw-da-see. Is it a WNY thing? I know the nasally Rochester accent can impact these things. I just feel like I’m going crazy every time I hear their commercials.

    If it happens, by far the most likely outcome is that Jarmo gets the job.

    If it is Jarmo, and he doesn't fire everyone, then we'll be stuck in business as usual mode and they will continue to stink.

    If he does fire everyone, there will be some hope.

    What does everyone mean?  I get the scouts and whatever asst GMs they have wondering about but replacing an entire coaching staff for both NHL & AHL ain’t easy.

    So, does Benford track Diggs all over the field as he has with opponent's best WR's for the past 4 weeks or so?

    Hope so.

    Diggs hasn't been particulary anything to write home about the last 4-5 games; but he'll have his A game on Sunday.

    If we trade Tuch, I want a Doan equivalent coming back. I don’t want a 1st round pick from a team likely to make the playoffs. 

    If such a player is coming back, he’d have to be 2-3 years away from NHL duty, otherwise why would any contender do it?

    Eventually, probably very soon, Tuch, Thompson and Dahlin are going to want out.  That's 3 first-round picks that would come back.  If they could get that in the same season, they could then trade up to the #1 spot if they don't win the lottery.  

    I hope none of this happens and they add to heart and toughness to this roster along with some defensive coaching.  How is Marty Wilford still employed?

    Power is a huge problem as he hasn't an ounce of toughness/strength/anger/hate/meanness in his body at 6-5 and he's defensively unaware nearly 100 percent of the time.  He is constantly pushed off the puck by smaller players.  First overall?   What a terrible pick he's turned out to be, and he's an 8 Million dollar boat anchor dragging this team down.  

    Thanks you for using the word boat
