And I disagree here as well. The Sabres brought in talent. It didn't mesh. That's on the inferior coaching. But GM Tim Murray also brought in toxic talent like Kane and Lehner. But I disagree the Sabres didn't try to build around Jack.

I disagree. Certain players can and do lift their teams. Did Chris Drury lift the Sabres? It's not always a question of talent but leadership.

That's the laziest excuse. "Jack can act like an ass because the Sabres blah blah blah..." Ideally, no.

Why defend his behavior? He wants out but he's making it hard on the team he's the captain of. I think he thinks he's adding pressure on Kevyn Adams. All he's doing is making himself look bad.

I could see the league being unhappy with two of its premiere players in the two most invisible markets. Eichel in NYC is a marketing opportunity. If Gary wants it bad enough make it worth our while.

It's was a poor attempt at humor. Of course I applaud Kev for holding firm. He's holding up against attacks from all sides.

Even after all that pressure and embarrassment that, by total coincidence, hit the Sabres and KA all at once. This team can't even cave properly.

4. College girls. (Or boys. It's all good.)

I don't know how good Aaron Dell will be but he's going to look sharp on the ice.

It's a rare indulgence for me. And never more than 10.

I own one of these, although I have no idea where it is right now.

In your basement like Misery-style? "I'm your biggest fan!"

European jerseys look like NASCAR race cars. I'm sure the NHL isn't going that far...yet. Of course, no one said ads only have to go on jerseys....

Admiring his billboard?

Okay. We're too far behind. So let's stop trying.

Ranger podcast with Jack's representatives chipping in?

No it won't.

Honestly, to me a car is just a way to get around. As long as I'm comfy (I'm very tall), get good gas mileage, has a decent sound system and up-to-date tech, I'm in my dream car. That's currently a Hyundai Sonata Sport.

He wanted to be here.

6th preseason win in a row, not that I'm counting.

All Bills preseason games are live on NFL Network. So why not take a break from the misery and watch tonight at 7?

Been listening to The Instigators for 2 days waiting for a reaction to the Lehner comment on the Sabres medical. Crickets. Only just now did Marty Biron make a vague reference in passing. It's a good show but I forget it's still state media. Update: Marty is vouching for the Sabres PTs Lehner threw under the bus. Now they are finally discussing it.

I'm not sure what that even means. Adams can't control what is said outside of the organization. His last statement on the situation was the truth: the Sabres are in control. Jack's agents have been on the offensive since, getting help from media and former teammates of Jack. As for our reputation, it's is what it is and likely can't go any lower, which is why Adams is stressing he wants players who want to be here. That mostly means draft picks and low end free agents. It's Granato's job to get these kids and rejects to play like a team and win a few games. Hopefully once we start winning no one will remember or care about the dark ages. The Bills are a perfect example of a franchise that went from radioactive to elite in 4 years.

They're waiting to see how the pressure campaign works first.

Silly me. I thought guys like Dreger and Friedmann had some integrity.
