Weave

They are delicious. More people should hunt them.

if there is evidence of urine in the flooring, don’t bother with the enzymes and stuff. Go straight to painting with Kilz. You never get that smell out of soaked and dried wood. The only option is to cover it and seal it up. Kilz is fantastic for that. *has experience here

Hmmm….. Jinjer isn’t really my thing, but….. Hmmm

I think May tops my list too. I’d add Mogilny but he did return Peca so I got over it quickly enough. Trading Playfair to LA hurt too.

Rapids Theater?

We frequently used a fast break offense that thrived on long outlet passes. I see long outlet passes being the exception next season.

I think if you remove the s from https it should imbed.

Given the expectation that there will be more focus on team defense, I think it is most likely that we will see a reduction in team scoring.

1:07 ave for PK time. He was probably 2nd unit. He was a 4 for Boston. It is hardly debatable.

“for a rookie” being the key words. He looked fantastically composed. His fancy stats were not great. They were great for a rookie though. I am not at all concerned about his offensive game developing. I am concerned about his near total lack of physicality in his game. The offense will be there. He needs to develop a bit of ownership of the blue line and boards.

According to Hockey Reference, Clifton was 5th among D men in ATOI, with Orlov above him. So its pretty safe to call Clifton a #4 D man for Boston before the arrival of Orlov. If you sort by total TOI he’s easily 4.

I think the biggest mismatch is Power. Will be interesting to see if he takes a big step or a small step, or has a sophomore slump.

Does Kane need Buffalo more than Buffalo needs Kane? It would be damned nice if that is accurate.

Single A baseball in Batavia typically drew less than 1500 fans. I can’t imagine single A hockey besting that.

Vinny had more talent than Ellis ever had. But it was a good try.

The set up guy didn’t realize that he laid the cloth 90deg from intended. 🤷‍♂️

My emotional budget is too occupied by other things to raise any energy over what Hasek, tennis, the Olympic Committee, the NHL or anyone else is doing or not doing because Russia. I just hope Ukraine comes out on top before their country is razed. OK, I had a little budget. Its gone now.

That is pretty much in line with the idea that hockey rosters turn over every 3 years. 7 of 23 is a 30% turnover.

I think this is a reasonable take. I like the signings alot. Checks all the boxes I had labeled. Leadership. Playoff proven. D first. RH. Reasonable expectations to fill the hole they were signed to fill. Get rid of the uncertainty in goal and this is an unconditional expectation of playoffs. With the uncertainty in goal there is the condition of requiring average goaltending from a group that has not proven average to date. I am more optimistic than before the signings, but still cautiously.

I think this season is going to see a more defensively focused Sabres, and consequently less run and gun. Last year may have been career years for a bunch of guys as a result. I hope that is the case, certainly. Nonetheless, I think we will still be a top 1/3 of the league offensive team with a middle 1/3 of the league defensive game. With that game and Helle, we should be a dark horse pick for alot of prognosticators.

Genuinely surprised by this. Dahlin Mule Power Clifton Stillman/Joki/Johnson/Boosh Clague and I missed Bryson That is 8 legit NHLers and a solid tweener insurance policy, and a less solid tweener.. Im starting to think like Dudacek, KA ain’t done and he is collecting pcs so we have some depth after another move is made.

“In the race” does not assume we are in the top 8 teams, just within reasonable striking distance. We were in the race last season and missed. scenario 1. Levi is fine. UPL and Comrie are not. Adding an upgrade to UPL/Comrie takes some of the load off Levi better assuring that we don’t wear him out before we get in. And gives us a measure of insurance if Levi falters. scenario 2. Levi is not ready for prime time or is inconsistent and we have an exact repeat of last seasons overall goalie situation. Adding an upgrade to UPL/Comrie puts us in a better situation to avoid missing the playoffs by 1 win. My gut is telling me that a move at the deadline for a goalie upgrade at rental prices is more likely than getting a goalie in this offseason.

I think a goalie improvement over UPL/Comrie is outside of KAs price range. I do think this has the potential to be revisited mid season or at the deadline, when acquisition costs are lower. If we are in a position to be deadline buyers and the goaltending needs a bit of a push, I could def see KA getting a Helle at deadline rental prices.
