Weave

Surprised In a good way, or a bad way?

This answer is damned near perfect. Exactly who is never the point, and just leads to rabbit holes about values pros and cons of specific players. The idea is opportunity cost, as you mentioned, incremental improvement to the team with prospect X vs. incremental improvement to the team filling a bigger hole via trade.

Hopefully under warranty. There is a known issue with those engines.

Again, the law cannot differentiate between you and someone without insurance, so wr all follow the same rules. And even with insurance….. all that means is a group of people are still paying for your decision. So it’s not for the benefit of just you.

You can’t readily legislate a rule for people w insurance vs uninsured so we all follow the same rules to mitigate society paying for every nitwit that xxxxs themselves up because they won’t take basic safety precautions.

Kyle will be fine. This team is too young to not have an Okposo on the team. We were getting one regardless if Kyle decided to retire. He’s not retiring, so we get the Kyle we know. And he’s going to experience playoffs next season. I’m happy for him.

Is the gif thing here no longer working? I haven’t been able to get it to work the last few days. I really wanna hit Randall with some choice gifs but the gif tool here is seriously harshing my buzz.

@Thorny You remember correctly. The biggest mistake of the tank (other than the tank itself) was bringing in a bunch of high end kids when the environment around them was leaderless and talentless. It’s the opposite of what Pburgh did for Crosby. I wont fault GMTM for turning some of our draft capital into mid career, talented veterans. We needed prime of career veteran leadership to get Sam and Jack started. And sticking with just drafting to fill out the team would have taken us to where we are today anyway. And we all know that it took half that time for Sam and Jack to be done with Buffalo. I do fault GMTMs choices though. The concept of Kane and Bogo were correct. Kane and Bogo, not so much.

It’s a pretty cool story. He’ll make some extra money for it, for a little while anyway. Maybe he makes a few more cuts and earns a card out of it. More likely he has his 15 minutes of fame and a little more money in his retirement funds. And a story to tell his grandkids.

Dead to me.

I’m not expressing hatred for the Sabres. I’m kind of pointing and laughing at all of you that think you’ve got something on the Leafs. If that’s what gets you through the night, good for you. Just understand that fans of every team in the league except Arizona is pointing and laughing at us too. And we don’t have a legit argument against it. All the complaints you make about obnoxious Leafs fans, you don’t see the similarity when you attempt to mock them?

The Sabres are no underdog. Their situation was chosen.

It seems to me, if you are a fan of the team with either of those descriptions you have no room to point and laugh. Which had been my point all along.

Ridicule away. We’re the baseline now, though.

I’m no fan of Toronto, but fans of this team laughing at Toronto is ridiculous. We lost our standing, pure and simple.

Only one of those two teams have a league champions banner hanging and it ain’t Buffalo. We have no more standing to point and laugh at Toronto than Vancouver.

As long as we are 0 for forever we have no room to laugh.

Id rather have won something in my life.

Chevy Equinox by any chance?

So the Leafs drought wins on a technicality? We so own them. Oy.

Did anyone have 5th Line Wingnutt as a vegan dairy substitute guy?

When did we win our first one?

Go for the jazz. Stay for the whisky.

The only thing I ever found interesting about all star weekend was the skills stuff, and the NHL even managed to remove the charm from that. it seemed like the all star games during the Hasek era had more intensity. At least among some opposing forwards trying to show up Hasek. If we could get some of that sort of intensity back the game would be more interesting. The current format with several mini games is just not compelling to me at all.

That’s my assumption.
