Well, I looked at some semi-comparable house listings on that lake, and I still think $132K per year in property taxes is insane. These are lakefront homes of comparable size, albeit with less frontage. None of the homes lists for more than $1.3MM -- so even if OSP's house is worth $2MM, that is still a huge prop tax bill relative to prop value. https://www.fingerlakespremierproperties.com/real-estate/canandaigua-lake

Sure feels like the wheels are coming off.

$132K per year in property taxes for a 2900 sf house?

I tell ya, if you're the type to believe in sports franchise curses, our teams are really living through them right now. OSP's cheapness plus the tank and Ralph's cheapness and mercurial temper have gotten the hockey and football goods well and truly PO'd. There might be a bit of light at the end of the tunnel, but there might not.

Who was it that predicted the Buffalo trifecta? Yeeeeeeeesssshhh. This defense is terrible.

I’m going to say there is NFW that Reino is traded before next summer and even next summer is only about 10% likely. And I’m not much of a Reino fan.

I’m officially done with Lehner. I know he made some nice saves, but the GWG, like many others he’s given up this year, was simply unacceptable. A legit NHL starter cannot give that goal up in the 3rd period of a tie game. The team must have zero confidence in him, and rightly so. I’m pretty much certain that he’s gone after this year, and that this will be another lost year. I also think that if the Sabres had too-10 goaltending they’d be in the playoff hunt.

I was making fun of myself you hoser.

Dude.

Dwelltankitis: an inability to GTFO the tank and what a stupid freaking plan it was and stop already bringing it up every time the Sabres lose because it's gonna make Liger go off the rails again.

The delusion is strong in this one.

IMHO, Antipin is too physically overmatched to be in the top 4 of a real contender, but his puck skills and hockey IQ are good enough that I can see him developing -- as early as this year -- into a top 4 defenseman on the Sabres and in the top 6 of pretty much any team.

He was joking you hoser.

I may be deluding myself, but the glitches I've seen with B-loo this year have been, after the first couple of games, almost entirely comprised of turnovers in the offensive zone that result in breakaways or 2-on-1s for the opponent -- i.e. I haven't seen an inordinate amount of defensive zone lapses from him. I also think the offensive zone lapses are an issue that is fixable, and that he is a really good skater with good hands. So I think the potential is there and I want to see what a season with Howie does for him. The same thing happened to me a few years ago with a gray-market stream, and I've not gone there since.

So it looks like Luongo has kinda fallen off the table and has been supplanted by Reimer as the #1 G, and the Panthers are DFL in GA. Also, Pysyk is now on their 2nd-pair. Coincidence? Either way: yeeeeeeeeessssshhh.

It's freezing here but it is Friday! Good restaurants are planned for both lunch and dinner today. Not bad a-tall.

Here's something that's good for confidence and for combating doubt and fragility: rock-solid goaltending. The Sabres played better in front of Dominik and Miller than in front of Marty (and the parade of loser backups that DR brought in after Marty). They haven't had consistently good goaltending this year, and it's hurt them.

​Ooooooooooohhhh. GA busted again for #Hammymath. He's a recidivist.

I wouldn't mind seeing a move for a goalie. It's worth remembering that they are missing 3 of the projected top 5 on D.

These 3 posts were much better than anything that happened in the game. Lehner gave away his team's chance to win tonight IMHO. The first 2 goals, which came in the first 8 min or so, both were scored on putbacks of fat Lehner rebounds.

If there are a few more efforts like tonight's -- and at this point it won't take many -- then Lehner is NFW to return next year. Eeeeeeeeeesssshhhh.

I am going to break the closure on this on an emergency basis to congratulate iTinSn on his good health news and for being the first SabreSpace poster that I can remember to post while in a tub with significant other. That's when you know you have a great message board.

Yeeeeeeshh. Not exactly the 1970s Habs. Is Falk really going to play 23 minutes of an NHL game?

Correct. And great background info on the Pens’ lottery fortune.

Here comes my man Taylor Fedun.
