SHAAAUGHT!!!

If Zegras is looking for a Cozens deal and Anaheim isn’t willing to do it I’d hope Adams is working on this. Trade VO, UPL, Joker and/or a euro prospect (I really want Benson and Savoie to play the season together in juniors so that is why I’m not moving them) and a 1st to get Gibson, Zegras, and a 3rd and sign Zegras for 7x7. He can play wing or center with Mitts on the 3rd line, or wing with Cozens on the 2nd line. He’s an offensive, fast, creative player so I think he would do well moving to wing. Plus we have a couch that does well with younger players so I think he can help him a lot in that move.

Welcome back. Definitely a team worth paying attention to now that these picks are starting to mature.

If I was on the other team I’d be chirping him about the white goo on the front of his mask. What is that supposed to be???

Anyone blindly defending TP at this point has exposed their true character, and it’s not good. Same for anyone assuming everything Trotter said is true. Let’s see what evidence and statements come out of this case. I appreciate the legal discussion earlier in the thread, and those calling out the ignorance (pretend I said silliness if the truth cuts too deep) of saying someone married to a minority or cannot be racists towards another culture or race.

I’ve been thinking about this and maybe both are true? Maybe both parties have an agreed upon range based on what the salary cap and some of the other signings around the league come in at? As this information started to become finalized, that would change the number on the contract while also adhering to the “agreement.” This really just might be KA and the Sabres FO managing the salary cap and using that to negotiate these team friendly and/or fair market contracts with his core.

Yeah, I’m going to make sure I see him at some point on this tour, even if it was a different city. Before I grabbed the Syracuse tickets I seriously considered making the drive to see the Asbury Park show.

Oh I plan on it! 😁

Picked up a couple tickets to see the Boss on Thursday in Syracuse. First time I’m getting a chance to see him. Also, some shameless promotion for my band. Playing Friday at Timeless Babez on Allen St. And check out our video for “Sunday Paper” we release last Friday if punk/metal/thrash is your thing 😁

I was at this too and was pleasantly surprised how good the Offspring sounded. This was real funshow

Just checked the GMKA thread and Dahlin didn’t sign his bridge deal until Sept so maybe that is a more likely timeline: Sept. 22nd 2021 … Sabres sign Rasmus Dahlin. Three years. AAV of $6 mil.

I voted Power but I’ve loved watching JJP develop. I don’t know if we have anyone that works along the boards the way he does and once he adds some more weight to his frame I think in 2-3 years he could be a combo Jochen Hecht/Vaclav Varada type player - effective puck possession in the corners and on the wall, but can also chip in 20+ a year.

So true, unless you go see Cypress Hill. Probably the only group I’ve ever seen that actually knows how to set up and sound great live.

Yes, the number one dog bred for fighting is also the number one dog responsible for bites. That checks out but is not evidence not this breed can just “snap”. And they bite family more likely because a lot of these abused dogs end up at shelters or rescues, or people don’t know how to properly train and/or raise a dog. There are a lot of nuances that go into raising a dog, and the larger and/or stronger a dog is (no matter the breed) it requires more work. Unfortunately a lot of people overestimate their ability and willingness to dedicate the proper amount of time to their dog, and then people start blaming the dog and not the person.

This This blanket statement is 100% not true. Pit bulls don’t “just snap.” The only dogs I’ve ever been bitten by are a pug and a golden retriever. Pits are high energy and require a dedicated owner to keep them busy, but they are not a naturally violent animal. Ive had two pits and I will always have one for the rest of my life. They are some of the most sweetest, loyal dogs you can get, and the hysteria around them is misplaced at best. They might look scary and have the capability to do a lot of damage, but so do I. People can believe whatever they want, but a properly raised pitbull may be the most loyal and loving pet you ever own. I know the two I’ve had have been two of my favorite pets of all time, but like any dog, they require an owner that trains them correctly from a young age.

You can’t teach heart, but a good leader can teach a young team how to play with it game in and game out. He’s that guy. Welcome back Kyle.

I think it was 5 goals but I remember Miller being near tears after that game. Levi seems to have that same drive towards excellence.

This is kinda where I’m landing too: the league should’ve handled this better. Besides soccer, I can’t think of another league out there that is this culturally diverse. And unfortunately some countries have archaic laws and views that can lead to legal repercussions, which is a big deal when you are in the type of work that requires a visa. NHL players supporting LBGQT pride is something to celebrate. It seems asking players to volunteer to wear pride jerseys during a warmup instead of mandating it would have protected each players personal choices, while still celebrating and respecting everyone’s differences. It was a huge missed opportunity, especially if it was supposed to accomplish anything besides virtue signaling, because no one is better for it today. Except for me, and my $50 level 100 tickets I scooped up this morning…

Regardless of the the reasoning, I’m thankful I was able to get such a great price on 100 level seats today!

If Tage can’t go this is gonna be a huge opportunity for Mitts play on a line between Skinner and Tuch. Mitts has looked really fast and hungry lately.

Tom Green is at helium next weekend. I grabbed tickets for the Friday show. Wanted get tickets to the Saturday show because it’s April 1st but didn’t work out with everyone’s schedules…

Creating a thread to discuss all things comedy. Upcoming shows, good acts, bad acts, new venues, etc. PS: I grabbed tickets to Bad Friends in Rochester in June with Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino. I can’t wait!

These types of gigs have always had restrictions. This is not a new phenomenon. Personally I think this is a good sign. It’s good that comedians no longer have to play corporate and college gigs because they have other avenues for cash, namely podcasts. Today, a comedian that doesn’t take a college gig indicates one of two things to me: 1) they don’t need the money 2) they aren’t creative enough or bold enough to perform their act in an “unfriendly” space. And if #2 is the reason their act probably isn’t that great in the first place… Sorry to sidetrack the thread. Shalom Levi! Go Sabres! Edit: I created a new thread aboot comedy. Not sure how to move these posts over there though…

This is just simply untrue. There are 499 comedy clubs in the US, they have seen a 1% year over year decline the last 5 years, and they have a projected market size of $330M in 2023. Source below (albeit not to APA standards). It’s almost like a decisive narrative was introduce into the public discourse for the benefit of a few and somehow has made its way to a non-playoff teams message board as a pithy comment while the user is unaware their acceptance of that narrative continues to perpetuate it to no benefit of their own. Now THAT is comedy… 😂😂 Todah for involuntarily coming to my Ted Talk. https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/market-size/comedy-clubs-united-states/

Even if you expedite a visa it will take 3-4 days minimum. Unless you personally go to the consulate or whatever the government agency is that deals with these things. My company uses a 3rd party that specializes in expediting visas and it is always a pain. It can go a little faster if you have duel citizenship or had been approved for a visa for that country in the past.
