North Buffalo

Not a good analogy, but if a comedian came to Buffalo after basically saying it sucked I am betting you would Boo him.

Now that is a curse if I've ever read one.. Wow!

How dare you doubt our Lord-and savior! Seriously, Mitts will get there, that being said a 2/3C viable option is needed for this year. 2 borderline guys Mitts being one, I am fine with this year.

Have to agree that Botts may have missed his opportunity in free agency to find a 2C or 2C/3C though Johanssen is still out there. Wingers can be found and Vesey at least gives an workable if not ideal option. Mitts and Cozens are developing... betting Mitts the following year will hit his stride and Cozens in 2-3 years. In the meantime tic toc tic toc though Botts is looking for the proper fit and Im not sure he has found it. If he can sign Johannsen then he can take his time with Risto or whomever and it becomes about tweaking the line up.. not filling it with NHL players.

That is just wrong on many levels...?

Just wish Sabres could marginally topped offer.

Like watching election returns dribble in.

No that is Erik

Yeh part of the trade is contingent on him getting a divorce

Ah, so badly want to get up GeorgianBay again. More Northerns and smallies and yellow perch but Im envious. May just go out off long island for flounder and sea bass, but yeh getting an itch.

Agreed puck support is a big issue. Phil preached 5man unit but had no idea how to get guys to execute it. Or make adjustments when teams made adjustments especially on breakouts or in O zone between cycling and forecheck. Too often guys guys backed off on forecheck when they should have been aggressive or vice versa. Sabres on ice awareness sucked sometimes. Their changes often times stunk, especially in 2nd period. To me that was all coaching. It was almost as if it was rote and they couldnt be flexible and have options depending on how teams were playing them.

Just freak deal likely just dislocation be back in a couple weeks if worse 4-6 weeks.

Yes, but not Cozens... again if only dislocated couple weeks, broke if they pin it 4 weeks plus rehab. Granted beer league but played 4 weeks out. Pins were removed. K wire. Did it in my 30s idiot slipping down stairs in socks... wife said I was just trying to get out of shoveling. Felt uncomfortable for a while after but not while playing it was weird. Full break of base of first metacarpal. Cozens looked dislocated, if anything maybe a chip fx. As long as nothing should be back quick. Ice and motrin and he will be back quick.

If fx and pinned 4 weeks, been there done that: 4 weeks - shorter if quick healer and can stand some discomfort.
