Weave

The team friendly deals are done. Power and Dahlin are 1 overall picks. Dahlin is going to command 1OAL money, and Power’s agent is unlikely to settle for a long term deal that doesn’t recognize his future expectation to be a no BS 1D with all star expectations, regardless if the Sabres already have a 1D with all star expectations. Power is either going to get paid big, early, or he will opt for a bridge to a big deal later.

I do not have suggestions regarding better options. I do not have inside info that tells me all the options available. I do know that 31 GMs in the league are working with the expectation that the goalies they acquire are good enough to meet team goals. I won’t know whether our GM has met those expectations until the season starts to play out. I do know his changes for this season to date are passive responses, at best. Then again, strong messaging regarding team expectations have been absent as well…..

This remains to be seen.

I’m curious how you know all of the available options.

You should have stated this as a rhetorical question.

This remains to be seen.

Fandom is like religion, and the more devout, the less likely you are going to use, or even accept words like hope and believe. For alot of folks, it just “is”.

Sabres. But the last decade has sorely tested it.

I shuddered seeing Joki on the first pairing. I like this set up better.

Overall game improvement is a given if he stays healthy. His numbers though are going to be very dependent on who replaces Quinn’s spot. They had undeniable chemistry.

Airplay is your friend.

Don’t be dissing The Mule.

Gat dam you have a unique sense of humor.

Neither of which was how I did it, lol

How would you do it in the ER? Incisions to free it, or pull it out? They went in freezer bags. I’m not sure there is any benefit to weighing them if I’m just gonne eat them later.

I did a thing today. Buried a treble hook in the meat of my index finger today. Buried it deep. I could feel the point of the hook under the skin on the off side. Caught a nice walleye. I probably put it in the boat while it was a bit too green. I mostly fish out of a kayak, so there isn’t much space with a fish flailing around in the boat. It managed to hook one of my nylon tackle bags, and trying to get it free it hooked me good as well. My index finger was fully hooked with one treble, my bag was fully hooked with another, and the fish was still on and doing its best to get free. I am pretty sure Websters uses that exact example to define a “predicament “. The fish unhooked itself thankfully. I, however, was securely attached. The bag was going to need a bit of surgery to get it loose from the treble hook, and there was no way I was paddling 2-3 miles back to the boat launch with a tackle bag and flicker shad attached to my hand. I grabbed a pair of pliers, put downward pressure on the hook shank, and gave the hook a hard yank. Obscenities were uttered loudly. Some blood was shed. But I got myself unhooked and didn’t pass out in the process. In the moment the pain was intense. Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt too bad after a bit. What is worse than removing a barbed hook from your hand with a set of pliers? Waiting 90 minutes to make a donation to our health care system at an urgent care center for a tetanus shot and antibiotics.

The Matt Ellis of days left in the offseason

Umm, GA, the thread is about songs for posters, not players

It’s not an exact comparison, but I wonder how much more flack Weber would’ve gotten with Dahlin, Power, Joki, Clifton, and Johnson on the roster. And he got alot of flack with a pretty poor defensive squad.

Eleven’s milkshake brings the boys to the yard?

As long as Tage and Tuch are healthy that line should be crazy dangerous. Skinner is at his peak right now.

Levi is the high risk wildcard. If he is ready to be a middle of the road starter, Buffalo should be above the other two again this season. But even with a Levi that meets expectations, it’s a lot closer than I am comfortable with.

He’s sort of a Mike Weber type, and will get the same fan treatment. Some will respect what he does get out of what little talent he has, others will lament that he’s not something different and shouldn’t be on the roster. And like Weber, on a team with a decent top 6 he’ll sit more than he plays unless there are injuries. Probably option 2 is closest as it seems he’s the 7 right now, no?
