RIP 'Family Man'.
He and his brother helped modernize the rythem of Reggae in the 1970s. Sly and Robbie refined it a bit in the same era and others followed them, but the basics were put down and defined by the Barrett brothers with Bob Marley.

Still snowing here ...

An honest to goodness blizzard here now.
Started slowly yesterday. Was very bad overnight. Still raging today. Will be tomorrow and will finally move on (stalled over NS) Monday evening. Expecting about 50cm (about 20 inches) of snow blown into huge drifts in all. That is a lot of snow for Halifax. Much more in the north mailand and Cape Breton.

Being a proud Italian American West Side of Buffalo product I agree.
I used to just cringe at it, now it is so nationally accepted, with humorous positive overtones, that I just let it go. It would be offensive to almost any other race or ethnicity but it is ok now?
But Mafia is not something nice, and it does not really mean family, as in what we think of as a real family. A fantastic Italian American family tradition that we had in Buffalo was Sunday after church. Get together and enjoy the day of rest, including eating a big meal with extended family in the early afternoon - none of us ever once said its sure great to get the mafia together.
This is a manufactured family, a minute fraction of the population, and designed to protect people who do illegal things.
Biils Mafia is all about the only good trait of the authentic Sicilian Mafia ... loyalty.

Cancer has always and always will suck.

Interestingly, Evan Rodrigues has had a decent NHL career. Nearly a .5 ppg player with a career +/- of +16. He can step into top-six duty when needed and does pretty well. He's pretty much what the Sabres hoped they were getting when they signed him coming out of college undrafted.
They sure could use him now, eh.

As much as I hate to say it - it's time for KO to retire and for Girgs to be traded.
Krebs can compete with some up and comers in Rochester for 3 regular roster spots on the *4th* line.
Trade VO for a sold #4 on D and if a *prospect* is needed to make it happen I would suggest Krebs at this point and maybe a 2nd rounder if the D coming has 3 years left on their contract.

Mostly agree. Maybe a few targeted players to round out the line up.
Sign Eric Johnson, though

If the conspiracy theory that the NFL wants the Chiefs in the Super Bowl because of Taylor Swift is true, how should the Bills work to acquire him?
All the Bills Mafia needs to do is kidnap Kelce (the younger one that has not been seen without a shirt - in point of fact he is a very sharply dressed man) and this Swift will surely follow.
Then we tie them both up (together, but back-to-back 😉) until the playoff next season. Then we untie Kelce stick him in Bills uni - he can have #87.
Bingo !!
Josh has the missing link that is the only differnce between him and that Patrick character.
SB 59 !!

Until further notice the Chiefs are the top team in the NFL and the one to beat. They will beat the 49ers.
The Bills almost had them this time. It really was that close. If they did I really believe that they would have beaten the Ravens and the 49ers (or Lions if they had made it). The Biils are that close. A healthier D and they would have found a way to not need Bass (not blaming him) for the tie late in the 4th.
The only thing that the Bills really need to do is to find Josh his Kelce - doesn't need to be a TE - the receiver that will take it to the opponents throat and jam it down.

I thought we wasted a pick on Keith Gretzky but it could have been Brent. It was a long time ago.lol
You are right. Played maybe 60 games for Rochester over parts of 2 seasons. Never palyed a game in the NHL.
1985 3rd rounder .. obviously taken for his name alone since his hockey playing was barely AHL level. Played reoughly 10 years pro hockey. Is the GM of some team someplace.

Mikhail Grigorenko 2.0
I watched him play here in Halifax many times when he was playing in the Q for the Remparts.
I was not shy in my boastology for him being a lock to be great for the Sabres and was thrilled when the Sabres drafted him.
I am still pulling out the feathers. I have no idea how I am going to tackle removal of the tar.

I am wondering if my off-handed comment about not include the Phliers was confusing. I was musing that OK, in one scenario PIT is en fuego and gets in. So en fuengo, in fact, that it would make it likely they took 2nd or 3rd in their division so my scenario was incomplete without mapping out how filly was doing. Filly is not tremendously far ahead of the Sabres and if they collapsed, perhaps they finish 3rd or 4th in the WC behind your Buffalo Sabres! I am not near my trusty speadsheet right now, but I promise to fill in the gap later.
When in doubt *F* the Flyers.
DASTARDLY !!

I am confused. Pts %-wise: it looks like this after you swap out TB for TOR:
Sabres get more points than Detroit and they are in ... what am I missing? TOR finishes 3rd in the division, gets in. TB get WC 1 and Sabres get WC 2. There is nothing that says one WC from each division, is there? The Atlantic can finish 1, 2, 3 in the WC, no?
I mean, all fantasy, but for argument's sake, play along. 🙂
Looks good to me.
The WC can come for anywhere. Top 3 from each division and then the next best 2.

Did they go on this run after they fired the coach?
Yes. Coach was fired in November after only 12 games. They still stunk after that for a bit, but really turned it around.

Same thing as before, but with different arbitrary timeframes; extrapolating a team's trend line over the last 10, 20, 25, and 30 games from whatever current game they are at.
Buffalo finishes no higher than 3rd and misses out by 20 points in that scenario. It is maybe possible DET pushes TOR into the WC, but I don't think TOR is falling below 52.4%, so yeah.
"Last 20" could realistically have PIT pushing PHI out - but again, the Sabres are like 15 points behind still 😞
"Last 30" hurts because magically 30 games ago, the Sabres were somehow 0.500 and are obviously not currently a 0.500 hockey team, so trending down.
Anywho - yeah, things are bleak. whomp whomp.
Not to be a big parade pisser oner, but this one is not anywhere near as goodly as your other one, eh.

sorry the end of the graph gets all funky - I had to add some numbers to do the project math without using different game totals because I am lazy. Also, since the Sabres are on a TWO GAME WINNING STREAK (!!!) I did not want to cut the graph off at 46 games for the flightless birds.
94.7 might just be enough if one other stumbles just a little bit. It would have been last year.

This is what you try and tell people who say wait until Christmas or the All Star break to make judgments on the playoffs. You can't fall behind in the race and hope for a hot streak later on.
The Sabres have won 7 of 11 and fallen two points deeper in the hole. On Jan. 1 they were 7 points back with five teams to jump over. They still have five teams to overcome but are now 9 points out of a playoff spot.
If they play out the final 33 games at the same pace as the first 11 games of 2024, they will finish with 90 points. Not enough.
7-4 is hardly setting the world on fire. It's a 104 point season. So there's room for growth.
I hear you, but look at Edmonton. Things happen. If they win 7 and turn a few of the 4 losses into OT / SO losses in the 3 remaining sets of 11 games then Bob's your uncle with 94 / 95 points.
With 90 points the Sabres will miss by a point or two again this season. With the change in focus to the defencive game I could live with that, but I would not like it.
As far as 104 points in a season goes ... where do I sign up for that? That would assure playoff hockey in Buffalo. Maybe even top 3 in the Adams division.

Rasmus Dahlin is selected to the All Star Game
in The Aud Club

It's been over 40 years since Smilin' Ger turned Sneaky Pete into LaLa.
Nearly 40 since Lafontaine took one last kick at the can with the Rangers.
While not a skater, don't forget about Hasek. Nearing 25 years since he left to get his cup.
It has been a lot of years, but many here probably remember Hasek playing for the Sabres.
Your point is still fair and reasonable.
