  1. I want to believe they used the play we did against them last year to tie it with Tuch one timing it off the boards. Even if it’s a common ish play lol
  2. Frankly the guy doesn't belong in the league with his attitude
  3. I wouldn't, to me a guy like Savoie isn't available for a 1 year rental. I'd trade lesser 1st round prospects but not Savoie in this case specifically. Additionally I'm not an Ehlers fan to be perfectly honest; he's hurt and or ineffective for long stretches and wouldn't bring any new element to the roster.
  4. Boston hatred comes from a myriad of things as well as being in our division forever. The Patriots hate also festered the disdain. Philly hate originally came from the Cup Finals in 1975 but was reignited in the late 90's when we met them in the playoffs and then ran into them over and over again after; including our most recent one. Toronto hate tends to be from two primary factors, distance and their fans. Toronto fans have frequently taken over our seats due to the ever famous example of fans paying off their seasons with the selling of both Leafs game. Which obviously means Sabres fans are gouging Leafs fans and also showing a certain degree of the wealth disparity between the two cities. The fans that don't sell are made aggravated by their presence because unlike the vast majority of away fans; Leaf fans inhabit a very particular type which tends to be loud, proud and arrogant. I have always described them as Patriots fans without anything to back up their claims. Although the Sabres have beaten up Toronto far more often; their fans always return and claim superiority regardless of circumstances. They also have the habit of stark mood swings depending on results that make any other fanbase look tame and in control. Plus they deem themselves the Hockey Mecca of the world and the media seems to reinforce it quite often.
  5. Frankly the Russians make the Israeli settling of disputed land look like a child taking over a sandbox. Stalin wanted full on Russification in the Soviet Union and sought out ways to eliminate or disperse local populaces in the millions and replaced them with Russian Communist communities. Ukraine being a prime example as well as all three Baltic States, parts of historical Finland, and the Caucuses region. And that’s not even touching on the vast region of Siberia or the Far Eastern reaches of the Russian State. How the hell did we get multiple Baltic people/ descendants on this board lol It’s not like a giant population in comparison to the world.
  6. I love the tiny bit of Romania they had.
  7. Silinger, Salinger wrote the Catcher in the Rye
  8. Frankly if RBA was interested in our job I'd suspect Ruff would honestly be fine with a presidential position but sadly I don't think Mrs. RBA would be in any way willing to move here
  9. Probably a young player seeing as they have few to none; though do we know if Nelson is a good leadership guy or malcontent?
  10. ***** the Leafs, Bruins took a nap most of that game.
  11. He hasn’t done well in Vancouver until literally last game. I’d look for a slightly less expensive option. Back before his supposed contract talks he had been one of my favorites for the role however. How you originally responded had made me think you were sending Cozens out to make cap room
  12. Using Chad's trade ideas and a few of my own https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/5083179
  13. Was it taken back?
  14. I want to win now but also later and exchanging a 23 year old for a 30 year old isn’t the answer
  15. Frankly I see little to no scenario we buyout Skinner this offseason; the earliest I could see it is next season
  16. I disagree purely on an age basis Cozens contract takes him to 29/30 years old Lindholm would be ages 29/30 through 36/37 The odds Lindholm is worth 7mil that long is practically null.
  17. Meeting with the Girgs family?
  18. Yes, but not at the ask price. He turned down 8x7mil in CGY
  19. 2-1 after a point shot found a wat through Syracuse gets to beat up and tackle our guys when they get down and the refs just look away.
  20. The best way to describe the Leafs would be a soft core with rough skin. They have acquired tougher players but their Core 4 and 1D have little of it. You see it when Toronto is forced to stack their stars; their toughness drops off a cliff. Buffalo isn't any physical brute with their Top 4 and 1D but guys like Cozens, Dahlin, and Tuch are tougher than all 5 of the Leafs mentioned. Your more physical pieces must be capable of also being effective at hockey. Reaves is barely functioning and can't be used without hurting the Leafs play as a whole
  21. Doesn't matter, Benedict Arnold was a good general but he was also a traitor. That being said the true star tonight is Thompson standing on his head
  22. #### that traitorous bastard
  23. Frankly, the lottery is what makes 1sts so much more valuable. When the Top 12 can give you #1, it inflates the value immensely versus 1sts from 13 on
  24. La La La La John Jason Peterka has a shift His puck can be my puck too Whenever we skate out, our opponents always shout, there goes John Jason Peterka on a shift La La La La la
