Ghost of Dwight Drane

Actually, I'm rooting for more Halloween Costume Pictures...... Anything in a Lil' Red Riding Hood?

If only we had a donkey emoticon........

I mean it as a term of endearment....and plus it is a pleasant enough sounding word that doesn't get filtered. Bottom line, we have non-stop propoganda about blowing multiple seasons of a pro league for a 20% shot to get a guy who we knew this could happen to....and then it happens. A crushed hand is probably worse than an ACL for a guy like this. Holy ballz..... Running backs RUN with their LEGS. Playmakers and Scorers use their HANDS. PA can skate as fast as Reinhart at this point. We keep getting told how smart of a playmaker he is.....

Not to worry....that hand will loosen right up over the course of 15 Buffalo winters...... Who was the putanna that told me I was a fool for mentioning Lattimore and McGahee? And you can still draft McDavid with the Islanders pick at #12.....

See above. If anyone thinks of anything i do as a "troll", you are always missing a key component. Be it a joke, or a reminder of the fact that the management hides a whole lot of stuff in the closet, or evaluating Tyler Myers. I'd rather waste my time on puppy videos on youtube. If that is true...I owe you donuts.

It is silly...which is the point......we have X. praising Lindy for Myers winning a Calder under him in his 1st of 6 seasons under Lindy.....then we have people praising advanced stats all the time, while the stats this year show Strachan is a much better value than Myers.....and we are further along in the season than Myers 1 Calder season was to his career.....SOMEONE has to be full of it. Do I think you get more for a trade for Strachan....heck no. I just think too many here dance around golden calves.

Mike Williams was a part of every big run by CJ Spiller this year. Sealed an edge on one, ran down and picked up a block on another, and actually was smart enough to slow down and get out of his way while clogging pursuit on one. I have no idea what is happening behind the scenes. I hope it is something, because if it is a pure talent call, I'm a bit confused.

God Bless You.... Just the fact that you felt the need to defend him to this point should be enough of an example that Myers is a bust compared to his reputation by some/many. SHould you ever have to compare a #8 fill-in defenseman to a $40 million "Norris Candidate"???? I bet Myers starts on a flacid donkey, while Strachan's is already at mast. Just goes to show how much better Myers is......

We just NEVER have the critical mass of talented crazy guys or a-holes here. You see Boston....just Marchand/Lucic/Chara is enough to put you over the top any given year. Guys like Girgensons and Zadorov have that potential.....but I'm afraid of them turning into Buick LaSabres instead of Mustangs....

:) I think I've given plenty of advanced stats in this example.... My eye test goes with Mrs. Swamp. I've seen Myers take more Sunday Strolls than Nana coming home from church....

Ennis - Gretzky - Stafford Moulson - Crosby - Gionta Hodgson - Girgensons - Stewart Foligno - McCormick - Mitchell Orr - Myers Lidstrom - Gorges Ristolainen - Meszaros Hasek Enroth you know.......I think you may be correct...... But it's certainly worth crapping the bed for 3 years for a 20% shot at McDavid..... Holy cow! I wish Otter was here.....something tells me he is the only one who doesn't order medium or mild wings at the team party....

I'm not a tank fan.....I enjoy melding with the rest of the public sewage.....

Strachan is scoring at 400% the clip that Myers is...... why is that? We are 20% through the season....so if that is too small a sample size, then winning a Calder under Lindy for 20% of Myers' career should also be too small a sample size...... You don't have to draw me a map....I know where the septic tank on my property is......

This is the last bit of hope I have. There should have been a scorched earth policy when Pegula bought this mess. You can still do it...even though it probably cost us 6-8 years. Myers, Hodgson, Foligno need to go. As much as I like Ennis, Weber, Enroth....maybe they need to go. The more you roll over rosters with the old crew, the greater chance of infection. Are Gionta and Moulson mailing it in? At what point does Gorges just say, "F-it!" ? Girgs is developing as an all-around player and his offensive ceiling looks to be at the high point of what we hoped for, but yet he still isn't taking those leadership opportunities that are so crucial. Yes, few penalties and gives a solid effort, but way too safe if he wants to be very good or great. He looks happy with being "Sabre Very Good" at this point. I'm grasping at whatever little meat is left on this carcas of a franchise. I don't know when games are on, I watch football if it up against them, even Houston/Oakland......it's just beyond sad. I actually want to check out the sports bar at some point but will wait until the luster wears off in Feb or March. Please.....some hope..... So, he "breaks out of his own zone" really well, which in turn leads to opposing 2 on 1's and a -6 rating compared to Strachan? Does he "play against the quality opposition's best players" for 26 minutes a game? So...a few questions.... How many times has Myers been in the penalty box when an opposition goal is scored? Why is this stat never mentioned when taking account for things? How many PP minutes has Myers seen as opposed to Strachan? I'd bet dollars to donuts that Strachan starts in the d-zone more than Myers on a % basis. Show me the goods!........ :)

Yeah....Tyson isn't getting shots through....he hasn't taken one yet and I haven't seen him rush the puck but once or twice to the 80 or so for Myers....yet there he sits with more offensive production in a pittance of the ice time. I hereby submit a proposal for board vote. All in favor of autocorrecting any mention of "Tyler Myers" to "Marfan Kevin Haller"....please vote, yea...... Was that his echocardiogram?

I'm just having a little fun with it....but seriously, if the Sabres were able to get the Russian Bear for him....do it in a second... It actually makes perfect sense....A potential 230lb brute of a forward who already shows 30 goal potential for a headcase, passive defenseman that Lindy can control. Par for the course in the few amount of decades I've been on this earth and seen.....

Quick reality check.....where are my analytics people and why do I not see this out there? Tyson Strachan has 50% more points than Myers with only 28% of the ice time......

I think I turned the title in a while ago. The frustration lies in watching my family go to the foreclosure auction and buying the exact crappy house. Now I have my family bugging me to borrow money to pay for repairs. You are right though. There is nothing productive going to happen for a while. I will check in when they trade Tyler Myers or Nolan finally has enough.

That's what's scary WildCard.... And I'm afraid Pegula might be a Lumberjack.....

Here's an idea for Brad Riter and his tshirts.... #ONEBUFFALO ...... bringing you Love Canal, and the Sabres.... You can have a picture of a couple of barrels.....1 with a fan in a jersey bent over it, and another with Pegula shooting a bunch of fish wearing Sabres jerseys..... Septic beyond repair. You could have cut the leg off at the knee 4 years ago.....

I obviously don't think winning the Cup is impossible since I took the Rangers 2 years ago at 5/2 for the next 3 years.... The culture on this team is rotten beyond repair. I actually thought Nolan could wake them up, but I should have known when LaFontaine walked that this was going to be a doozy. LaFontaine walked from Wang, who EVERYONE here makes fun of as the worst of the worst. So why should we not feel the same about Pet the Rabbit George when it happens the same way here? And again, if you don't care about the Bills....I'd be scared as a hockey fan. Daddy has a new toy that cost him almost 8x as much.....

The odds of winning the Cup when 30 robots operate 30 teams is 1/30. The odds of winning a cup in the next 10 years after Lenni from Of Mice and Men purchases the team...200-1.....

Because Pegula didn't own the team and they are the perfect combo of arrogant and clueless.

No....anyone here over 35 who follows #ONEBUFFALO .....you have been clued in on the newest marketing propoganda have you not?.......should be asked the question if they ever felt the Bills would win the Super Bowl in any particular year. The 1/30 thing is BS and a losers lament. 50% of marraiges end in divorce. Do you really think you found someone so special out of 5 billion people? There are probably 300,000 better choices for you worldwide.

Feeling bad for the season ticket holders is like feeling bad for Jodi Foster on the pinball machine......
