Black Keys with Gary Clarke Jr opening tonight in Canandaigua PAC. Super pumped!

We tend to look at our own ineptitude concerning players coming here and it's completely warranted, but if we zoom out to the NHL as a whole I think we see less movement (go figure) which dilutes a lot of excitement. And naturally, the teams at the bottom do not get that dose of hope that comes with a blockbuster deal.

Totally agree. There was one thing on that Sabres embedded draft edition that struck me. Karmanos was the one who seemed very critical of everybody’s take on the first round pick, at least the clip that was shown. He seemed to have a vision of what should be and was actually holding his colleague’s feet to the fire, despite the fact that he’s essentially the one heading up the farm team. Moreover, his moves for Rochester are superior in team building. The current structure is baffling to say the least.

Colorado just put on a Ted Talk on how to handle adversity. I just can’t anymore

Detroit. Raymond vs. Chiarot Happened the day after the Sabres took it to them last March.

I live on Long Island and the MSG partnership is an abomination. There are 3 other teams that compete (get priority) for the space instead of maybe just one. If you're a tri-state area fan of one of the NY teams you'd never care. But for the many relocated WNY fans it's just a poor way to make your product available.

It seems to me that this Benson nonsense is a pretty good place for a guy like Gilbert to apply his particular set of skills.

One of these things has a happy ending

My memory may be playing tricks on me but wasn't Ruff actually interviewed or at least had a discussion with Buffalo before the official hiring of Meatballs?

Clifton’s old man was pining for dirty goals. His demand was 3!

I’m kind of here. Would I love a Tkachuck in concept? 10,000%. But with the reported “maturity issues” we have nobody in regards to veteran leadership to rein that in at this point. And I don’t hold much hope for that to be resolved anytime soon.

He broke Derek's nose

Just watched his post skate presser and the kid is just off the charts even keeled and genuinely embracing it as an opportunity to round out his game. Also thinks that the road should be bumpy and not easy. He's got such a consummate professional attitude. It's like whatever is the complete opposite of entitled, that's Devon Levi.

I have 645 reservations about watching, but I'll probably watch anyway.

White goat heads at home would be the ultimate. I’ve never liked home darks.
