    They are a year apart. I don’t see Byram having a greater development runway than Dahlin 

    The appropriate question is: Is Byram this year as good as Dahlin was last year, when Dahlin was the same age. It’s a resounding no

    Yeah I was working on the assumption that Byram is 2-3 yrs younger than Dahlin based on previous post.  
     

    In the very small sample size so far, Byram seems more dynamic than Dahlin.  I’m impressed.

    Diggs and his cryptic tweets. Always trying to stir the pot. He ain't going nowhere anytime soon. Media just eats this garbage up too. 

    And it's the correct opinion, IMO of course. 😉

    I don’t know why anyone would try to predict the meaning behind any of Digg’s tweets.

    Dude. Sorry to hear this.

    There is a huge shake up where I work. Lots of layoffs (some deserved, but still sucks).

    I’’m safe, but lucky me, it’s all happening at the same time that my brain decided to be a dick and try to kill me again. You just can’t imagine how hard it is to pretend to give a ***** about the extra workload and new schedules, while trying to figure a treatment plan and surgery schedule. Like it or not, soon I’m going to be out 4 to 6 weeks, and I won’t be thinking about you. The upside is I told my buddy that I’ll be showing up at his house with a zipper on my head right around the time the lakers start to head into the lower Niagara.

    Wait…… I missed this.  Kick cancers’ ass, will ya?

  4. Bettman is employed by the owners, right?  I presume then a majority of the owners are OK with this.  🤷‍♂️

    Where TF was this when we were trying to do the same with Tim Connolly?

    We have always been the awkward sister that is not allowed nice things.

  5. I seem to recall a local Sabres reporter mention on the Twitters (a few days ago, maybe) that Quinn is done for the year.

    Maybe Adams wanted wiggle room in his statement, and the reporter doesn’t need wiggle room.  Maybe it was an educated guess.  Maybe he was fed different info than Adams stated.

    Dont know.  Dont care.  Just posting something I recall scrolling across.

    I'm not really against it. Might teach the kid a lesson, but imo it does go against previous precedents and there's a lack of consistency there. First offence is supposed to be lighter for a play like that. If that's the new bar that's fine, but it has to be applied to ALL cases going forward. 

    Hence my 2nd paragraph.  My suspicion is, if he didn’t pull the clown act on his way off the ice as a <30 day employee of the NHL, the standard wrist slap and stern look would have applied. He went for the heel routine and got a much bigger ding.

    I kinda feel like they are already playing under pressure. Indeed, I think that’s the key differentiating factor: not until our *opponents* feel pressured such that they feel compelled to match our urgency will we be truly tested in this final stretch, here.

    I think we feel pressure but teams playing the 24th place team simply don’t 

    Except Detroit.  I’m sure they felt it. NYI certainly should right now.

    The Berggren one had probably the least physically aggressive line possible.

    Skinner-Krebs-Olofsson

    Bryson-Byram

     

    Krebs was over with the refs but the culprit was protected by the refs. Byram has concussion history so I'd rather him not fight. The other three are far from physical players. 

     

    The Fischer one had

    Skinner-Krebs-Peterka

    Jokijarju-Power

    Again, not exactly a group of players who impose their will on anyone. Plus I honestly think some of the players were confused due to how odd it looked.

     

     

     

    So the next time those Detroit players are on the ice with a different group of sabres should have resulted in drama.

    We are gonna get Miller’d again if this team doesn’t show some dog in the fight.

    He doesn't need to be a bruiser to be effective.  Thinking that he does is a fallacy.

    Most aren’t asking Power to be a bruiser.  Almost all of us are asking for him to start physically engaging.  He is at Phil Housley level of non-physicality.  That just doesn’t work if you aren’t a HOF level talent.

  10. It’s a fair question.

    Id say it’ll be right about when they are within a game of catching 8th place.  Until then they pretty much have nothing to lose.

    I like K-9’s response though.  The pressure should be there in game 1 next season.

    Just heard Rempe suspended four games for that nasty elbow to the head...start of the end for the guy...

    I am pleasantly surprised it was 4 games.  Usually first offenders get the stink eye and told next time they’ll be a first offender again.

    I suppose being in the league less than one month and clowning the other team was too much to not suspend.

    Nope.  I don't care.  He's had his championships; I'm not going to feel sorry for him if he and his team fade away at the end of his career.

    Yeah, I agree.  Fading away is the natural end to a HOF franchise player.  I’d appreciate more if more players faded that way.

    Then again, its what we saw here with Perreault so it seems natural.

    I was referring to the in-season injury. The expectation for the achilles injury that he was going to return relatively earl in the season. 

    The expectation was that he’d return around the holidays, definitely not relatively early in the season.  December-January was always the discussed timeframe.
