I've been listening to "Hambone" for years and marvel how he is still employed as a Sabres beat reporter. Just goes to show the value of familiarity and inertia.

Vegas moved Thompson after he became unreliable. It's the classic example of "one man's trash/treasure." The trick is knowing which goalie will bounce back, or seeing something in the other team's play that contributed to that failure. I think Linus Ullmark is a great example. He wins a Vezina as soon as he moves on from Buffalo's Swiss cheese defense in front of him.

The NFL 1st round gives 10 actual minutes (used to be 15) between picks. The NHL clock is 3 minutes but it starts whenever they feel like.

So what's more likely with Byram at this point? A trade or a bridge deal?

My goodness, what a joke this is turning into. A worn out lazy joke.

Okay. But you can count consistent goalies on one hand, and teams don't trade them. So what you have to do is play better defense.

But none are ready now.

I had to Google that to get the joke.

It's the draft. Nobody is NHL ready.

It was sarcasm, though I don't think anyone caught it.

Okay. I'm going to watch The Bear. You all carry on.

Yes, if someone made a good offer.

That smile on his face says "kill me now." 😂

Sorry

Botterill didn't get to do everything he wanted to do in 3 years in Buffalo?

They'd have to get him back from Boston first. 😂

Avs? Sabres maybe?

Adam Sandler grew up about two miles from my house.

They invented that where I live.

Martone's name plate looked glued on ... poorly.

Speaking of Ace Bailey, Sal Capaccio is on the radio saying Ace Bailey makes him think of Ace Frahley of Kiss. Totally missed the real Garnet "Ace" Bailey, former NHL player and exec who died aboard one of the 9/11 planes.

Gotta fill 3½ hours.

How do you say "I demand a trade!"

I wonder if the trade for 9 hinges on a certain player being there?
