Weave

This is my fear.

Bro, it’s not always about you. 😂

We have the same lawn decorations around here. Apparently they can’t afford to replace 6yr old decorations that have been out in year round weather for 6 yrs.

That hair. LOL

Sometimes its better than the on ice product, innit?

I’m just here for the shenanigans.

Laziest. GDT. Ever. The Tim Murray draft pick announcement of game day threads.

The hairs on my forearm stood on end watching today’s episode. So good.

Have we finally reached the point where we can actually look down on Mitts contributions without the kids-just-need-time brigade shouting us down? Rejoice. He just doesn’t have it. At this point Brian Holzinger or Derek Plante will be a very positive outcome for Mitts. Move him for a piece that helps now, and after his next contract he’ll enjoy a respectable career in one of the European leagues. It’s a shame. He’s got Connolly’s hands. But the rest of Connolly’s shifty-ness just doesn’t show up often enough.

Throwing XXXX against the wall. Seeing if any of it sticks.

Outshooting the opponent but not really having much in the way of dangerous opportunities seems to be becoming a thing with this team. Very concerning. I’m going to channel my inner dinosaur here, but also concerning is seeing two Sabres on the receiving end of hits from behind along the boards and their linemates not responding at all. I realize the referees hand went up in both instances, but we are allowing ourselves to be physically dominated again. Abd after Ras just sat after being bopped in the shnoz, it should not be accepted that Tage gets slammed into the boards from behind. Any semblance of pack mentality we displayed in the first couple of weeks appears to have evaporated now that the rest of the league has found their footing and gotten serious.

So……. Risto, right? Im really curious if there is anything Torts can do with tough love that would actually change anything. My colored glasses thought that Risto was pretty solid when he was hyper motivated. The problem was, that motivation isn’t sustainable, and the dropoff for Risto when he wasn’t hyper motivated is huge.

Wait….. Ras AND Power now on their off side? Man this team needs to get healthy.

I don’t think any game is going to be easy with 4/6ths of our starting D out with injury. And especially so with our only star player being one of them.

So, are you advocating the NHL let them all in, or kick them all out? This doesn’t have to be either and not be hypocritical. Any time is a good time for improvement, including this time.

Would you hire him? Do you not believe in redemption? He hasn’t earned it. Time isn’t sufficient. Redemption requires him to show empathy and real guilt. To the best of my knowledge neither has occurred. I’m more than willing to show someone who has expressed remorse and demonstrated changed behavior another shot. But that other shot isn’t likely to be what they want. It’ll be what they have to settle for to prove they are worthy of what they want. This kid can prove his worthiness for redemption in a humbling environment before he’s earned redemption in my eyes.

I’m telling ya, Josh ain’t right. That big hit last week hurt him.

It’s ok to start doing the right thing. This is a good line to draw in the sand. Defending this dude is a weird hill to die on.

Josh as noT been right since that hit last week

This is a team that has bullied us while we wandered around in the darkness. Would be nice to get a measure of comeuppance. I think if there is a night for our first major penalty, this is the one.

What he is accused of doing shows a pretty clear lack of any empathy. That isn’t normal bully stuff. That is sociopath stuff. I don’t think you grow out of it and become a better person.

There was your measuring stick game. Sabres played tough, but that was a playoff team, and a playoff team game. Sabres don’t quite measure up yet. Expect more of these than not from here on out. Will be interesting to see if the Sabres are ready to evolve their game to counter it.

Lovely. Yet another poster that has already done the thinking for the fan base. Just what we needed.
