Choosing to not vote this election is also understandable. I have no interest in a Trump discussion, have a good night.

Well then, let's agree to disagree on the lesser issue.

Only over Bernie, lesser of two evils IMO.

Yes, tone. That's the word I was looking for. Thanks.

I think pegs pushed the timeline a couple years with his stipulations on the ROR trade (my opinion only, not looking to rehash it or try to change anyone's mind.) He probably don't think he did, and I don't either.

I think he has made a choice. I think he's embraced JKru's plan of a slow build from the bottom up, and I don't think it was an easy choice at all.

This seems like a fair point to me. Not sure how relevant it is, but it definitely seems fair.

"Or maybe it doesn't work that way in Kentucky." Came across as snarky. If you say you didn't mean it that way I believe you. It's often difficult to understand intent/context (I'm not really sure what word is appropriate here) on the internet. My apologies.

Kentucky? I'm in the Nashville area, have been since 04. Half hour commute to Fort Campbell, which is mostly in Tennessee. The post office just happens to be on the Kentucky side. I understand your feelings towards third party candidates, and respect them. We just have different views on it, no need to be snarky.

If Biden gets the nomination I'll vote for him. If it's Sanders, I'm voting for Trump. Hopefully the Dems don't ***** this up today.

Anyone else excited for super Tuesday?

You didn't ask me specifically, by I'm one of " contingent among Sabres fans right now that believes the same", so I'll answer. Not for the poster you posted the question to or anyone else, just me. The first year was an evaluation year, a throwaway. After that season was the ROR fiasco. If you want to rehash that I will, but please find the appropriate thread and let's do it there, I'm sure many don't want to read it here. Either way, losing ROR, pushed our compete window a couple years. If ROR was on the team this year we're probably a playoff team. He gets a pass from me regarding ROR and he probably does from pegula too The D was garbage two years ago and is playoff caliber now. When the kids mature in a couple years it should be damn good. Now he can focus on forwards and has some cap to work with. Goals for hate gone up the last two years. Goula against have gone down the last two years. Points have gone up the last two years. That's really the only thing that matters, despite the fancy stats and pretty charts. JKru isn't going anywhere.

The first goal was because of a very bad line change, that wasn't on him.

Goals for has gone up the last two years. Goals against have gone down the last two years. Last year they finished with 14 more points than the previous year, and are on pace to finish ten points higher than last year. This is not opinion. It's not speculation. It's indisputable fact. This team is trending in the right direction and improving.

Goals for has increased significantly league wide, but our goals against has gone down. Progress?

Points are going up each year. Everything else is just colored bubbles.

They're really the numbers that matter most. That's indisputable. Dismissing them is being hard headed to push a narrative.

Yes. Goals for, goals against and points improve each year. That sucks.

Goals per game are 2.9. Last year they were 2.7. Two years ago 2.43. Goals allowed 3.08. Last year 3.27. Two years ago 3.39. 62 points two years ago. 76 points last year. 66 points in 63 games this year. The team is improving each year.

I'm not a Pence fan either, but you're better than this.

Years ago I'd go to Audobon North on Sweet Home Rd when I'd visit. Their boneless wings were excellent.

Dahlin leads the team in ice time after two periods. Hutton looks good. Damn I love the GLO line.

The biggest factor in that is drafting 17/18 year old kids as opposed to 21/22 year old young men.

I see JKru on a similar path/trajectory as McBean and I'm willing to give it a couple more years.

I'm excited for the last twenty games, don't ruin it ?
