Weave

The only reason I don’t expect him to pay a visit (or 7) to the booth after retirement is because I expect that a good reason he’s shutting it down now is because of the difficulty in getting around and up and down now. And that isn’t going to get better when he stops doing it regularly.

I’m guessing it is no more than putting the strongest insurance policy in Rochester for the most important game of the season

He painted a picture like no other. I could envision the play in my head during the years he was at his peak.

Right about now I would say UPL is at least as unreliable as Anderson. Maybe more so.

Won’t happen. He’s not a Bruin type.

Bruins in decline Dahlin and Power activate ***** on Brad Park’s grave

Capspace won’t be a factor

There was a pic on Twitter yesterday that was labeled RJs last road trip.

Be very careful and don’t go alone. Water temps are still in the 30s. Very dangerous if you end up going for a swim unintentionally.

My experience isn’t too different. Had some post nasal drip and scratchy throat on Mon-Tue that I attributed to allergies. Wed the headache and coughing started. And so did the lack of sleep. Lots of post nasal drip, but I actually felt good on Sunday and did some yard work. Sunday night it seemed to drop into my lungs. Monday I Lost my voice. Seriously sore throat. And huge phlegm production. Last two nights were feverish. This morning the stuff I am getting up is continuing but I feel a bit better today otherwise. Hoping its running its course.

Glad to hear it. Them stripers aint gonna catch themselves you know.

I never had bad reactions to a flu shot. Until this year. Kicked my ass. It would be the most weave thing ever to suffer a gnarly reaction to a flu vaccine and them get the flu anyway.

Don’t know what the F respiratory bug I managed to contract, but it’s been kicking my ass for 7 days now. COVID negative, so theoretically its not that. I don’t think I’ve ever produced so much phlegm in my life. Last 2 nights have been feverish, although that seems to calm down in daytime. Run down, sleep deprived, coughing and sneezing all over, and going through a box + of kleenex a day. Ugh.

Can anyone recall an example, Sabre or otherwise, of a center who exploded to 1st line numbers and not maintain it for a few seasons?

Oh, and 🤪 Just havin fun with you.

*old man repeating story to kids every time a subject close to it come up

This perplexes me. Most likely best case scenario, Levi and Portillo sign at the end of next season. Most likely both will spend the bulk of their first full season in Rochester. If one excels, he starts the following season in Buffalo. 22-23 both goalies in NCAA 23-24 both goalies in Roc 24-25 one goalie in Buffalo Why in the hell wouldn’t KA give a good NHL goalie a 4yr deal? When both goalie prospects will be ready for NHL duty (big assumption here), that 4 yr deal is an expiring deal. Those are readily moved if the goalie has any tread left. If pigs ever fly, UPL shows up as a good NHL goalie, and one of the college kids ever make it, we’ll have tradebait. If FA goalie “X” and UPL scares away our prospects……. I mean, UPL shouldn’t be scaring away a guy that's confident in his game. And we still don’t have a starting goalie until we actually have a starting goalie. KA cannot afford to roll the dice on this roster while UPL, Portillo, and Levi sort themselves out over the next 3-4 seasons.

Probably would have been more diplomatic to say, “I can’t explain it any better”. Ha! Me. Diplomatic. What a crock.

I’ve stated in one of these threads that someone we all like is gonna be moved to fill a hole. Mitts is an obvious possibility, but so is Krebs. He could be flipped readily. Like you though, I’m not sure he’s shown enough to bring back the value we’re looking for.

My dad was a Toronto and Montreal fan before the Sabres came into the league. HNIC was every bit as important to watch as the Sabres. But once ‘71 hit, Toronto and Montreal were back seat teams.

Why would players around the league have dislike for a team that makes moves to get marginally better? Wouldn’t everyone want to be on the team that is continuously trying to upgrade? Isn’t that why the Bills are currently a team everyone wants to be on? I get it if we are talking about the guys that got moved. Everyone is entitled to sour grapes. But why would say….. Timo Meier be extra motivated to knock Vegas out of the playoffs?

I get why this all would be meaningful for fans that are rooting against Vegas. But I get the sense that players around the league are also rooting against Vegas. I find this interesting, and I don’t think what you’ve described explains it. Would love to hear from someone with current player contacts regarding what the motivations are for players to he rooting against Vegas.

Funny. We look forward to the return of the bats in the backyard too. At 8:15 there was still a bit of daylight. Love it.

If accurate, F the no blocking the kids mindset. Get another goalie until you actually have all the goalies you need.
