Weave

My son asked me if I want to go to the game. $6 tix on the secondary market. I told him no. $6 plus gas, parking, food and beers. They just don't entertain. I feel guilty telling him no, but I am not interested in wasting my money with that team.

And how long are we going to stomach him as well? He hasn't lived up to the hype. That is a killer in this town.

I read it on the internet so it must be true.

Not directly (or even indirectly) related to Boucher, but I think we need to be less concerned with style and more concerned with results. Style can adapt and change once we get the room back to focused on the end result. Winning is entertaining.

The questions will (or at least should) start if Jack's second coach is fired. We shrugged of DDB's firing because most of us didn't like his gameplan. But it appeared that Jack was instrumental in getting DDB's bags packed. We should have questioned it more then. We should definitely question it if it happens again. It's the start of a pattern. Like quitting on a season is a pattern now.

Eeyore has a younger face now. But because we threw away two seasons to get him we won't acknowledge it. We're too emotionally invested in the idea that Jack is what is right with this team. Jack shouldn't be focusing on we/us. He quit on this season (again) as much as anyone. He needs to focus on his own performance right now. It's not an acceptable level of performance. Lead by example first.

I had trouble coming up with enough names to meet the "up to". What a state of affairs the team is in.

Yup. The odds are so low luck has to be a major factor.

Lemmie. Yes. Still the most Buffalo thing ever given the current context. Schadenfreude at it's finest.

This might be the most Buffalo thing ever posted.

Started with Tim Connolly. Moved to Ville Leino. Probably Lehner was the next one to really get hammered by the fans. There is a common denominator here......

I’ve not agreed with the idea of cycling the kids through. I might have to jump on this train.

Abso-freaking-lutely. I'll go as far as saying it should have been a priority immediately after Jack was drafted. To prevent the exact thing we are seeing today.

You have to know all this is trolling. It's very disingenuous to bring up the reaction when it was done for reaction. Personally, I couldn't care less. But if you are gonna do it, own it fer cripes sake. The "who me" routine is really lame.

Because Buffalo.

That may very well be, but the rule is quite specific. Emergency conditions shall be established when the playing strength of the Loaning Club, by reason of incapacitating injury or illness or by League suspension to its Players is reduced below the level of two (2) goalkeepers, six (6) defensemen and twelve (12) forwards. Proof of the existence of the emergency conditions including the incapacity shall be furnished to the Commissioner of the League upon request made by him.

I've seen enough for one night.......

Quitting seems to be a pattern right from season 2.

Montour badly out of position and chasing people. And after the PP Jack is coasting badly on his shift. We can't have that.

I did find this: If I am reading this correctly, 40 days prior to the end of the regular season starts a period where teams can only recall 4 players excepting under emergency situations until the the players league completes its regular season.

I saw the 4 call ups thing from one of the Twitter talking heads. If I could remember which one I'd make a half assed attempt to search for it.

The team only has 4 call ups after the trade deadline, so they can’t rotate players through. Pilut might be our last call up.

First half just ended. Texas Tech went on a bit of a run leading to it. The Bulls have their work cut out for them.

I tend to agree with this assessment. Pilut's play definitely regressed, and the assessment of Smith vs. Thompson makes sense to me.
