now you've got me cringing in recalling a brutal john guertler call.
All John Gurtler calls were brutal. All of them.

First thing I would do is sign Tatar. Problem is I think he wants multi year deal which is why no one has touched him.
That was a problem for Dumba, too, until it wasn't.

Fine you need another analogy. You trading a left over pizza hut pizza for my lobster and me saying no, so you say what if I toss in this moldy carrot?
I'm talking about guys that you, personally, have predicted great things for, not moldy carrots. Real forward prospects, which the Sabres have too many of.

I'm well aware you didn't say that. He's not worth anything in a trade, you don't seem to want to recognize that. That's why Bryson is still in Buffalo, he's not worth anything in a trade.
Those two ideas concurrent don't mean I think you said Bryson and Boosh should be packaged together
I don't know how Bryson's name even came up. Anyway. The idea isn't to trade two pieces of garbage for a sports car. The idea is to trade an average NHL player and a prospect, and possibly more, for whatever comes back.

So you're theory is that Boosh will be suddenly better for the exact 3 months a team needs him?
No one wanted him. It's why Bryson is here. You can't package 2 pieces of trash and expect a mazzeratti in return
I didn't say I would have packaged him with Bryson! Package him with one of the ninety-seven forward prospects and get something in return.

Play aside, if I'm Boosh I probably ask out. In the last year of my contract, I don't want to be riding the bench hoping for someone above me to fail in some way. I'll play every game I'm able for the Ducks, who, if I play well, will likely trade to a contender where again, if I play well, I might get a fat contract based on playoff performance. Maybe that works on the Sabres, but it's steeper hill to climb and there's no guarantee I'll be put into situations in the season and playoffs that will showcase my abilities.

2 hours ago, MattPie said:For a season, I agree. Make a push for 2-3 months from the trade deadline to the end of the playoffs? I think he has it in him. All he has to do is hit people and stay healthy for fans (and a few GMs) to love him.
These are good points. Time will tell.

I would have preferred to see him remain on the roster, or, if traded, for a high 3rd or a 2nd of some kind. That said, it's not a move that I'll lose sleep over. I hope he does well with his new team and that the Sabres don't have so many injuries on defense that they'll regret this move.
Agreed.
I just don't think a fourth round pick (or is it fifth? I think PA said fifth?) is worth anything. It would have been better to package him and get more back.

He was always a more private guy but age and his two linemates passing likely lessened his reasons to visit Buffalo physically. Not to mention we have no idea if his wife was ill or anything
VERY private. He would rub my head and shush me when I tried to talk to him in church. And who knows for how long Carmen was sick? It might have been years during which he was caring for her and didn't give a damn about the team. And, frankly, who cares? She was his wife and it is his business (none of this directed at you, wookie, or even at anyone in this thread).
All we can do is hope that he's ok and that the family is ok. That's kind of it, now, right?

They way I saw it when RJ called a goal, it was like throwing confetti and Lorentz's analysis was like sweeping up the confetti afterwards.
Lorentz's analysis was like organizing the confetti by color, density in area on the ice, distance thrown...the guy could break down a play into component parts like no one else I've ever seen in hockey. Football, sure. Hockey? No.

This is fantastic. I've never heard of this. Our neighbor just dropped off a cucumber in a bag of veggies from their garden.
Me too, that's why I asked. To me, cucumber salad is with tomatoes, a little fresh basil, maybe some red onion, and a little olive oil/balsamic. Salt and pepper.

Yes. There were multiple times they wanted to get rid of him and Don used his power to stop them.
Interesting. Had no idea.

If a guy saves my job on multiple occasions I'm standing by him for anything short of pulling an OJ and even then I'd have to think about it.
Cherry saved MacLean's job? (Honest question...)

Odd that there was nothing from Sabres social media on it, unless that was requested by Gilbert.
It must have been at his asking. It's almost three weeks now and we heard nothing except for a quick remark during the RJ stuff on WGR.

Tricky sculpture to make. I’d want him shown in one of those moments where his face is contorted from making some memorable call (meanwhile his hands are folded daintily on the table top).
The one where he's leaning back after the Kane-to-Eichel Hail Mary.

Not to get ahead of oursleves here, but who is 52 ?? Rivet I think. Maybe ??
I vote no, and that's only because there's another guy I'd like to see at 25 besides Andreychuk.

Goal song is clip of Rodney Dangerfield insulting a cocktail waitress he met in Jersey?
Stop teasing us with that 11 of yours!
Terry Pegula saying "this is for you, Rick," at the Cup presentation. Thought it would have been obvious!

I wonder if they will wear an RJ patch on the jersey this season. Would be nice tribute.
I can think of only one tribute that would be better.

Regardless of whether the Bills wanted to "show their hand" by running the schemes and plays that they'll show us during the regular season, 12 penalties in one half is a problem. A discipline problem, and therefore a coaching problem.

I said that the overall tenor of the conversation was very different.
I’m not sure I’m any smarter than I’ve shown here. I don’t really keep score around on this board. I routinely forget what certain posters are known for saying.
And I explained.
Not doing anymore of this. I assume the Bills are still getting penalized and killed.

I'd like someone to convince me, without using Josh Allen, that Beane drafts well.

Who?
I’ve been as active as anyone in discussing this here. I don’t recall more than a single shot being taken at unions, and that one came very recently.
The angles I’ve been taking are that (1) these overruns cost the PSE lead negotiator his job and (2) PSE is gonna want to change the deal and socialize its losses.
When a political opinion is put forth by a moderator who is famous for stifling any scent of political discussion that doesn't conform to his view, that political opinion will be scrutinized. You know this. You're smarter than this.
Now. Onto tonight's little disaster. WOW do the Bills need some discipline.
