Ain't that the truth. They are angrier now than during the playoff drought. Fact is getting good is a skill. Winning a title involves some luck.

The one lying in bed.

Can they extend before a trade?

Ullmark got lit up?

Yes he was, and we paid him $3.25MM for a piss poor effort. And we still ate half his salary when we got a 3rd and 5th from the Habs.

Hall and Staal stole money from the Sabres. Talk about having no respect for your team or fans. (And then Hall has the gall to squash a deal that would have gotten the Sabres a 1st round pick!) They mailed it in and were as much as the problem with the Sabres as Jack or Sam. I think when Okposo talks about the locker room being better, he's talking about those two clowns as much as the usual suspects.

Too many.

When the Sabres finally win a cup, people will be mad it didn't happen sooner.

Probably because they are heavily into social media us old farts never use.

Did Wawrow not, in essence, say that? I'm asking because I haven't listened to the presser audio yet.

More 5th round picks for salary dumps?

I made that leap from the "$20mil in cap you'll never get back" comment. What else do you do with cap space?

Time is an illusion. That's a the definition of putting on a show. As I said in an earlier post, if this team is built the right way, you don't have to say such things. They know. They probably want it more.

So is Wawrow suggesting a high-priced vet on an expiring deal would have got them over the hump? Maybe. But I think what Adams and Granato wanted to see is how this team responds to the pressure. And if deadline deals came with guaranteed results, Ottawa would be in the playoffs.

If you have the right players, and I'm hopeful we do, you don't need pronouncements from the GM. In fact it gets to be insulting.

WTF are you talking about? Absentee ownership? Terry follows Kevyn like a puppy. And what happened to wanting him NOT to meddle? What day is it?

Bingo

I'd rather they just make the playoffs than make them put on a show for frustrated fans.

You say that, and yet the sport has never been more popular, covering more of the US, with nearly every game available on TV. With billionaires willing to plunk down $650MM for a team. A long way from the days of OLN. Gary Bettman must be doing something right.

Beat. Down.

Maybe Keefe thought the guys in Toronto would bail their team out. YES!

Light 'em up, Bolts.

Brilliant decision there.

Leafs doubling down.

Ted Turner doesn't own Turner Broadcasting anymore.
