  1. I feel like I have explained how I arrived there. I am well aware of the injuries but after 3 years of Darcy floundering, 2 full years of tanking, 1 year of righting the ship... I don't have to be patient or understanding anymore. They just played a month of some of the worst hockey I have ever been suffered to experience. Bylsma by his own mouth admitted to changing it up because he felt it would help his team even though game after game after game they went down in a flames because 1 goal is not enough. I don't want that as my teams coach. 

    Well, you are totally free to go and root for a different team with a different coach who you like better. 

  2. Is black offensive? Is African American accurate anyhow?

    I use black. 

     

    Years ago I worked with 2 black guys, one born and raised in Jamaica, and the other one born and raised in Haiti. When someone would refer to either one of them as African American, they would get so pissed off and start lecturing said person on them not being A.A and to not just assume they were because of their skin color. Man would they get mad at that. That is why I use black.  

  3. The only way this happens is if the draft is limited to 2 maybe 3 rounds and evryone else is a UFA. A kid drafted out of high school drafted in the 7th round who chooses to go to college because the prospect of cashing anything other than an AHL or ECHL check shouldn't be limited to that if he suddenly blooms and there is no room for him in the system. A better idea would bento eliminate the draft altogether with no rookie wage scale. Jack would be in Boston and Connor probably in Toronto but they would be playing with scrubs brought in to stay under the cap. Keep a hard cap and let the market bear what it will. Then there would be no tanking, all players could choose college or Junior as it fits. The idea of a draft is an anachronism.

    Does every kid have to put their name into the draft pool? Or do teams just draft whoever and at whatever age hoping they skip juniors and college and sign the contract? I'm not a fan of how this is playing out but if Vesey never put his name into a draft pool and got drafted by a team he opposed, then I kind of understand where he is coming from. If not and he did put his name into be drafted, then I don't.

  4. He had a much better year his junior year and would have won the hobey if not for a certain jack. In his senior year, he lost a couple of good wingmen and played with younger kids, a las a lower point total. Solid prospect - upside is another Okposo, downside a stafford

    What is interesting is Jack was 18 and Jimmy was 22 when Jack won. That speaks volumes to me of the talent gap between the two. 

  5. Peter Fish, J. Vesey agent, said reports that it's down to NYR and Chi. are not accurate. Said a handful of teams involved, including B's

     

    Make a ###### decision Jimmy

    Yep, at this point I'm not sure I would like him on the Sabres. 

     

    Can you imagine the issues going forward like second, third contract negotiations, or god forbid he is demoted to 3rd or 4th line. No thanks, he seems like he would be a headache every time he has to be dealt with.
