So you don't like Benson? Quinn? Peterka? Mrtka? Östlund? Helenius?

There are technological marvels that allow you to be anywhere virtually.

And what if he is?

Obviously.

No one talks about Jarmo Kekalainen much. How much of these moves are due to his influence?

Well Kevy put together the team that's out there now. You can complain it took too long but it seems to be coming together. Maybe it's the Jarmo influence?

True to a point. Your defense will ruin good goaltending if it keeps giving up high danger chances. Watch any game last year's and tell me how many odd man rushes off turnovers you see. Then compare to now. And as for who is or isn't a moron, finding good goaltending isn't like buying groceries. It's like complaining the Bills didn't just go out and get a Josh Allen earlier.

I had to catch up last night. (It's high school football season.) We are still making mistakes but, unlike before, we come back and make plays to fix them.

I can't see betting on hockey, but I don't mind if you put stuff in the GDTs.

There's nothing better than seeing pissed off Leafs fans exiting Key Bank Center. They would. They would claw your winning back. But if you lost and then won? TFB. They can do that crap.

Even when you're proven wrong? But I get it. It's a coping mechanism.

Do they need a goalie? We got goalies! Finnish goalies! Bulgarian goalies! Make us an offer! Do you like role-playing Kevyn?

I went by what the Podbean page said. Thanks for fixing it.

Bruins lost 6 in a row after beating the Sabres. Sabres are in Boston again on the 30th. Debating whether to go.

Showing a trade partner UPL is healed?

Godot gets activated first.

One word: THUNDERDOME!

Unless there is a hard fast NHL rule, @shrader makes a good point on UPL. He injured himself in one game. I want to be sure he can last 3-4 games before he gets brought back up. That's a totally valid argument for keeping UPL in Rochester for a while longer.

An extra week or two won't hurt him, other than a bruised ego. It buys the Sabres time to assess Ellis and Lyon further. Ellis is not gone, at least not for nothing.

It's not an issue for a few more weeks. So do we play Ellis at home Friday and Lyon in Toronto?

True. Season runs Dec-May including playoffs. But it's not only the heat, it's the barren nature. After growing up with trees, greenery and water, rocks, rocks and more rocks gets old fast.

This kind of garbage is what I've been railing over and distracts fans from the real problem. Don't just look at the end result (a goal) look at the comedy of errors that led to it.

Would Georgiev accept an outright release at this point? There's a point every season when goalies get injured and your extra keeper suddenly becomes a trade asset. Only fans get caught up in artificial deadlines. There is no downside to keeping UPL in Rochester a little longer, and even once he's in Buffalo, keeping three goalies. Eventually something has to change but we're weeks from that.
