They could also lose every game. It’s hockey. Teams with better records and talent lose every single night of the season.

Sure they are

Quite frankly, it’s a tough task when your best players are the problem. Are they going to bench Dahlin, Quinn and Cozens? Maybe Quinn but they aren’t benching their “star players” to send a message. Kevyn probably hitched his cart to the wrong horses. Now more suffering… (hey Darcy!)

Yeah but there is already an intrinsic meaning of the term anchor in sports and it’s meant as a positive. An anchor of a relay team. An anchor in tug of war.

Beings an anchor is a good thing. Provides stability and support.

Gonna miss this one celebrating our anniversary. Yes I found someone just as broken as me. A Dozen years in the books. Hopefully I’ll live to see another dozen.

First time this season. Hoping it would dissipate but alas here we are. My intolerance of it is rooted in superstition. If it was directly correlated with winning, I’d be all for it. But it’s not, it just represents the fecklessness of the franchise.

If all we’ve known for the last decade is pain, misery and suffering, why keep up the MW shenanigans? It’s not like it’s funny.

I’m talking about the fans

And Rasmus is easily one of the least liked players on the team.

I stopped caring about this team at 0-2. I had no idea they played a matinee today. I don’t really care about this team at all anymore. Have fun with it.

Naturally it depicts the Bills in a negative light as that was the narrative at the time.

Vegg-us is pretty much what our Northern friends are saying. Void of any cultural leanings or influence. Like proh-gress or proh-cess. See word, say word.

This commercial had me in stitches

Was he with the Isles? He didn’t really lean into it until he was 23 in his 4th professional season.

I’ve finally figured out what Canadians are doing with this word. They act as if they have never heard a Hispanic person or heard a Hispanic originating term pronounced. Which is curious as 1/4 of the country speaks French, a language that is closely related to Spanish. So cultured people understand the Hispanic origin of Las Vegas (it’s not like I’m reaching) and just go right to the standard North American breakdown of Vegas. So instead of getting the long “A” sound that the Spanish “E” gives us, they lean hard into the soft “e” sound or schwa sound. Fascinating.

On Tuesdays when Pluto is obscured by Uranus.

Listening to Bissonette pronounce Vegas is pure comedy.

This place wasn’t the issue

The hockey world scoffed at the Sabres for giving up bonafide superstar in the making Mathew Savoie for a bottom six defensive forward with limited upside. It seems like a pretty solid trade at this point.

I too would like every defenseman we have to be Chris Pronger or Scott Stevens but there really aren’t many of those types left. I guess Jacob Trouba but the list is short for a reason. It’s a dying role. If the Sabres had supplemented their highly skilled, highly paid offensive defenseman with some real nasty types, we might not be having this conversation. Unfortunately, the Sabres have almost all offensive dmen and the ones who aren’t we hate, see Mattias Samuelsson. Raging continuously about Power’s lack of aggression and physical play is only going to give you grief. Owen Power is one of the best offensive dmen in the league. He’s also very adept and clearing the defensive zone and moving the puck up the ice getting the team into scoring situations. I wish he’d rip guys heads off but it’s just not going to happen. Embrace him for who he is, otherwise you are just going to be miserable indefinitely.

I’m embracing what Owen Power is rather than what he isn’t

Power, Byram, and Jokijarju have all been better.

Josh Allen is a superstar top 3 at his position in the midst of a HoF career. Dahlin isn’t even the best defenseman on his own team.
