John Vogl‏Verified account @BuffaloVogl 3h3 hours ago “He competes like a son of a bitch, really. It’s great to have him in the Blue and Gold now so I don’t have to be pissed off every time we go down to Carolina.” - Sabres’ Jake McCabe on Jeff Skinner.

If I had to put money on one, it would be the Athletic. He's the editor for the area. I wouldn't be surprised if they've already talked to him about it. Its one thing when its a local rag, but they're a national publication with a fair amount of clout for being so new, if it were me I wouldn't suffer that kind of crap from one of my workers.

I think it was just kind of a "see, he can be offensive minded, too!"

I know they're like 14 or whatever, but I love how dorky these guys look. Throw Eichel in there, too.

From their own mouths...er...hands. Mitts and Ras: https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/1040310569897738242

Why would the Sharks slide anything? Would they care? Its someone else's pick either way. So going back and reading that, if the Sharks miss the playoffs, we could still get the pick unless they decide to give it to Ottawa instead? That's...weird

I'm jacked for Skinner with Eichel.

Yeah it does, I couldn't put it together in my head.

Makes sense. Weird, but makes sense.

From Ottawa's announcement: https://www.nhl.com/senators/news/ottawa-senators-complete-most-important-trade-in-rebuild/c-300094100 ...how?

Offer a third for Mark Stone right now.

Posted this in the other one, but don't the Sabres still have a shot at getting that 2020 1st if the Sharks somehow miss the playoffs and win the lotto this year?

Couldn't that 2020 first belong to the Sabres if the Sharks win the lotto? Not that I'm expecting it.

2 roster players. Who's your money on? I'd bet Vlasic. Does Kane have a no trade...

For the record, I also don't think that he's any more of a drinker than most of the guys in the league, but it was definitely a topic for a while. And I think the reasons for that go beyond how much he goes out.

Really? I mean, I can't provide an exact quote or anything, but it was definitely brought up when he was going through his 'getting kicked out of bars' phase.

Sure brought it up with EKane though

Immediately what I thought of.

I'll say too that, unlike the Players Tribune which always feels ghost-written, this seems like something Lehner penned himself.

Just read this and was coming to post it. For those without a subscription, ARTICLE IS FREE, GO READ IT Basically, Lehner has been manic-depressive and drinking to fight it off for at least his whole career. When he was going through a concussion the drinking was the only thing that would help. He said he often had thoughts of suicide, calling them "real and close". He spent 9 weeks in a rehab facility this summer, originally for the alcoholism, but then was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD. He says that Botteril was incredibly supportive of him while he was going through it, even after the team decided to move on, and still calls him to check in. He also says he was glad to move on, that they needed a new start. This really colors a lot of what we've seen from him. He sounds really positive at the end. Hopefully this helps him.

Looks like a year subscription is like 20 bucks a month

I also did not catch that at first. However, calling the name "Swirling Tumors" for the new punk band I just decided to start.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.
