Unless you were in the room with Adams fielding offers, it’s hard for anyone to say he should’ve got more in return. That being said, why not wait until closer to the deadline to MAYBE getting a better offer? Again, though, we don’t know how it happened. If it was the only or best offer and Boston pushed for a decision or they were moving on, then Adams would’ve felt he had to agree.

Yeah, like is he related to Bjorn Borg?

Lazar was leading the Sabres forwards in hits by a large margin. That’s been a team weakness other than him.

Finances have been considered for the most part all year. The signing of Hall was an outlier. Did you hear Weekes on the NBC broadcast tearing into the organization for the weak scouting staff?

Interesting that 4 hours later there is still no response. Eichel was a no-brainer so even the Sabres couldn’t screw that one up. I guess Reinhardt is a hit but in hindsight Draisital is a definite “impact player” they passed on. Jury still out on Dahlin, although he has looked very good since they dumped Ralph. Ullmark showing probably going to be a good starting goaltender. Oloffson as a 7th rounder can score on the PP on one-timers. It’s also too easy to say, if they drafted impact players, why are they the worst team in the league.

Isn’t that a bike?

I apologize. The results of this game are my fault. I picked Ullmark as one of my goalies in DFS today.

Dare I say BobbyOrr-ish?!

Wait, their daughter most likely had tennis coaches. They could just hire one of them.

That was awesome! 😄

It was interesting to hear the national (NBCS) comments during this game. They really like Bryson and thought the prior regime made a good pickup. They also showed clips of the difference between Dahlin last season vs now.

That last loss would inspire some teams to make amends. This team doesn’t have it in them.

Of course no one will believe me now, but I meant to post “the streak ends tonight!” Before the game started and forgot. There’s still 25 minutes left so I could still be wrong.

Just like sooner or later they have to make the playoffs but they don’t.

I have a friend in Machias. We went fishing in Ischua Creek a couple times.

I just thought I mistyped dat

Interesting dat their government just reduced the quarantine to 7 days.

Of course, after reading dis post and mention of Fogarty, now “Put me in coach, I’m ready to play” is playing in my head.

Major memory from my youth. In high school I talked a lot about sports so some classmates called me ‘Rick Azar’.

Actually, nothing compares to the 2002 Western Conference Finals Game 6 between the Sacramento Kings and the Lakers. The Kings led the series 3-2. The Lakers shot 27 free throws in the 4th Qtr. One of the most blatant foul calls was when Kobe Bryant raised his arms with the ball and elbowed Mike Bobby in the face and they called the foul on Bibby. That was a disgrace. Of course, many said the Kings could’ve still won Game 7 at home but they didn’t.

I wish the NBA refs would do more of it. I don’t like when Team A has 25 to 30 fouls called on them, resulting in like 30 to 40 free throws for Team B, while Team B has only about 12 fouls called on them, resulting in only 10 free throws for Team A.

I had set the game to record, sat down to watch it and it wasn’t there. History said “Recording cancelled due to error”. WTF? Damn Directv. When the NFL takes Sunday Ticket from them, I’m done. Guess I didn’t miss much with another 3 goal loss. So what is Granato doing different that they’re giving up so many shots on goal?

I agree. It would be very shortsighted to want past and future 1st round picks. You can do this for the NFL or NBA but not the NHL. Just off the top of my head is the 2014 draft. Sabres take Reinhardt 2nd and jury still out if he has justified that pick. Taken 3rd was Draisitl, who’s a star. Taken 4th was the other Sam, Sam Bennet, who has been a disappointment, as has Michael Dal Colle, taken 5th. Then, late in that 1st round, Pasternak was taken 25th.

July 1st, 2007, when Briere and Drury both left.

Oooooohhhh!!
