North Buffalo

Dont care unless above happens..

Interesting debate... I am on the fence on Botterill. If he doesnt do something positive before trade deadline I would be ok with moving on from him. I do do believe Cozens is the no 2 center of the future... but Sabres need to sign a scorer or trade for one by deadline. If they somehow can find another center great! Either way they need to find a top six guy with attitude.

Lake Placid for X-Mas... just had a great time with my sister in law, brother and two nieces... Weather sucked for skiing but family stuck together and had a lot of fun hanging out. Went skating on the Olympic Oval and went to Olympic museum as well as viewed the rink where it all happened in 1980. Pretty cool. Town was not what I pictured but still pretty cool and had a lot of fun. Head home tomorrow.

melancholy

On the good news front my beer league team won! I scored my first goal since getting back on the ice... a cross ice tap in! Felt really good. Eric the Composer let me know if you want join us.

He is around... seen him post on twitter, just not as much lately...

Sure... I am working... ER is piling up with sick millenials...and drunks

Merry Christmas... the co-oopted old Pagan Holiday... the winter solstice.

One is two many thousand not enough... his effort showing addiction is a tough thing... what else could it be with all that skill. Any suggestions on router?

And that is his problem... my 15 year old is such a pain with it we have to hide his xbox and then we watch him lose his mind... but it become so peaceful for a while. He is so unmotivated when he spends too much time on it.

Yes there is...

Sabres apparently didnt show... so hmm no

Just showing the rest of the team how much he is carrying them

Hmm taking family including my brother's over xmas... plan to relax and enjoy not so seriously

Nah with Jack out keep him in and dont screw up Ullmark... get the Tank engines geared up.

Jack is out

Wonder if Ray can still fight and ps is John Scott available.

So if Jack is out for a while.. who do they call up Lazar? Anyone but Mitts... he needs a message sent... stay off fortnite and quit chewing tobacco...

Look at Toronto... same kinda of problem... I think they really miss Kadri... he was a motor that had to be accounted for as well as an agitator... Boston still has Marchand and some younger guys with 'tude... Larry is getting old... Sabres need three young versions of Larry in the lineup... but Id take one more at this point.

Didn't use to be that way... too much good food and beer? Really I think it is not enough of the right kind of talent... Sabres need more lunch bucket players like the LOG line... and EROD aint it. Vesey maybe... Skinner kinda with talent but needs a set up guy. Sam again is too affable... Oloffson is working at it and same with Asplund, but they really need a couple young instigators... Pekar needs to get here soon, not sure who else but it ain't Mitts.

Or you can hijack the Philly game day thread...

Signing ROR and getting nothing in return set Sabres back 3 years easy... I still think despite his talent he wasn't a good fit in Buffalo. In addition, loading up on D with no offense is a problem and drafting Casey, as skilled as he is, the drive isn't there. Sabres need to analyze drive as well as talent... Cozens seems to have it... ok, who in this year's draft has it and is there anyone else that can be signed or traded for that has talent and drive? Need guys besides Jack that are self motivated... Sam is way too demur... Without Jack expect Sabres to head straight to the bottom.

Trading Jack for McKinnon

What??!
