Weave

A few years back I had what I suspected was a skin cancer growing on the back of my neck. The potential for how fast melanoma can go stage 4 scared the ***** out of me. I called 6 dermatologists to try to get an appointment. The soonest I could see one was 5 months. Depending on what it was, 5 months could be too late. Freaked me the hell out. I did get my regular doctor to do the biopsy and send it to a lab for evaluation. Fortunately it was pre-cancerous and not an immediate concern. And we bashed Canada for wait times. We’re already with them here.

I’m holding out.

The best leadership is availableadership. It’s a word. Don’t flame me.

Anecdote time. When my wife and I were first married, she worked for a family owned company. The owners had connections with many people in the NHL. My wife used to see many hockey “celebrities” come into the company offices to meet with the owners. Scotty Bowman was a frequent visitor. She said he was by far the most arrogant, unfriendly visitor to the office and treated the people in the office as beneath him. She did not like the way he interacted with her and others in the office at all. Her stories of interactions with him have colored my opinions of him as a human being considerably.

KA falling on the sword for his boss. That will get him loyalty points…… right up until the next fanbase revolt

I would say under appreciated later in his Sabres tenure.

He’s still Old Sugar Packets to me.

Stan Twitter. Now I have a term to look up.

Yes, but this isn’t the reason why.

“Why you touching me, boomer?”

At that price is he waiver-proof?

Holy *****! And now this. https://apple.news/AsTYZm8c0QwW8p8t4IEVo-w An Ohio sheriff instructed residents to keep a list of homes displaying campaign signs in support of the Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, and her running mate, Tim Walz, in remarks on social media that caused alarm. Bruce D Zuchowski, the Republican sheriff of Portage county, posted the remarks on Friday to his personal and professional Facebook pages, warning that undocumented immigrants would arrive if Harris were elected over his party’s nominee, Donald Trump. “When people ask me … What’s gonna happen if the Flip – Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins??” Zuchowski wrote, referring to Harris. “I say … write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!”

The irony that there has been two attempts on Trump’s life while we worry about right wing violence is not lost on me. My concern remains that the post election violence will be more general in nature, and it has not subsided. Yet another sign that we are returning to a time of robber barons.

Would genuinely appreciate you expanding on your point.

I will worry about the possibility of the team moving when the team manages to make the Sabres being here beneficial. As far as I am concerned, as long as the organization refuses to do what it takes to become relevant, their existence in this market is not relevant. I don’t know that Promo is into being humiliated outside of his fandom, but Im not into in either case. The team doesn’t matter until it matters. And I won’t be bullied into supporting it financially until it actually matters.

Tyrod Taylor still in the league? Good for him.

No idea where to put this. I suppose I could have started a thread about the insanity of the MAGA cult. Yesterday I had an interesting and disturbing MAGA experience at a very small, local brewery in my small, mostly rural community. Went there for lunch a little before game time. 4 people at the bar, I am guessing mid to late 60s in age. 2 men, 2 women. They were wearing Bills stuff so assume they were there to watch the game. They were the only other people in the place. We sat down 2 empty barstools away from them, I was closest to the men. 1st commercial break had a Harris campaign ad. During the commercial the Guy closest to me yells "someone should shoot her". Then yells even louder " Someone needs to just shoot her". He sounded like he was having a tantrum. Like it was emotionally painful to even see her on television. my blood went from chill to irrationally angry in a heartbeat. I immediately stood, faced him and hoped to make eye contact. I am not even sure what I would have said, but in that moment I was looking for an excuse to have a confrontation. I haven't got that angry in a very long time. My wife asked " what did he just say?" And loud enough for him to hear me I said "the ***** wants someone to shoot Harris". He never looked our way the rest of the time we were there. Violence is coming. ***** jackholes are going to make sure of it. This will be the price we pay for the game Trump is playing. The orange sociopath doesn’t care that more people are going to get hurt, or worse.

And that would be even worse. We wouldn’t even be a stepping stone. We’d be a bluff, lol.

?? He appears only willing to consider the Sabres as a stepping stone to an end of season trade. That isn’t even a back handed compliment. That’s a guy willing to do anything to remain in the league one more season. While it isn’t evidence of toxicity, it surely is evidence of desperation.

Assuming that it is a league wide understanding that owner = problem, can you imagine Adams market value if he does manage to build a winning team under these conditions?

Wait, did Worthy have a Gordie Howe hattie too?

KA is a ***** genius. He knows that the Sabres were not going to attract the players to get them in the playoffs this season and has accurately predicted that when this doesn’t happen Dahlin will lose his love of the game. Pegula will demand he is moved for a 3rd best prospect, a bum, and a quitter. And KA will have already acquired Dahlin’s replacement. Im telling you, ***** genius.
