Weave

KO makes me proud. I become a little more a fan boi of his every time he speaks publicly. Just seems like a genuine good guy and easy to root for. Hes the best PR that team has.

Given the outcome so far of all the moves to date, I am 100% comfortable with the idea that Sam had to go as well to make this conversion.

In my mind its also become pretty clear that when the argument of enough talent vs right culture was being made, culture was the bigger roadblock. Sans Jack, Sam and Risto we are arguably less talented, but a better team with better results.

Lots of references to players able to just be themselves. And not afraid to speak up. Good God was the locker room a mess before. KA made the right player movements out, and the right player movements in.

Every October someone posts some sort of “is this what the Sabres are” thread, and every year I answer with “ask me again around Thanksgiving (murican). Teams always start the season a bit loose. But by Thanksgiving changes to systems and players have been tested and tweaked and the cream starts rising to the top. Will be really interesting to see what they look like in mid to late November. IMO that will be an important time for evaluation.

And you guys doubt PA’s theory about garbage time.

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.
