    I was expecting Shero to do better.   

    Really? His Pittsburgh teams regularly disappointed. Sure, they won a Cup, but they also got eliminated by a lower seed 5 years in a row after that. Yes, we Buffalo fans would be deliriously happy winning one championship. But when you have Crosby-Malkin-Staal down the middle, I'd say that's underachieving.

  2. Seattle demonstrating why game management matters in big moments when the competition is tight. Their last drive had zero urgency at all, and left the Packers with a situation where they could drain the clock with only a couple first downs. Had Seattle hustled and taken less time, they'd have a shot at another possession. Or they could have planned all along to go for it on 4th. In any event, Pete Carroll minimized their chances. Good job, coach!

    E-Rod, Bogo, and Lazar.....3 stars of the game, respectively. This should drive the analytics people crazy, eh?

    It's always a dead giveaway that somebody has no idea what they're talking about when they say a guy doing well will drive analytics people crazy, as if people who understand analytics don't know bad players will have good games. 

    PS: "analytics people" generally like Rodrigues.

    Now, consider the Bills offense and how far behind it still is. Houston has a terrible defense and Buffalo still failed. We need 2 offensive linemen and a wr still. 

    Which 2 linemen? I see RT as a need, but the rest of them are fine (assuming we retain Spain). Not great, but fine. Give me a RT, 2 WRs, a TE, and a RB.

    Texans with a chance to bury the Chiefs and they waste 2 TOs instead. Some A+ coaching by O'Brien there. 

    I'm going to continue talking to myself. This is why O'Brien was nuts not to go for it on 4th and 1. 24 points weren't likely to be enough to win. And here we go.

    As a hypothetical, if SJS asked you for Mitts and 2 2nds for Couture would you do it?

     

    I'm usually the "don't take expensive contracts for 30+ players" guy...but I make that trade yesterday. Couture is still great, fills a ginormous area of need, and brings plenty of playoff bonafides. Yes please. If he sucks in 4 years, well, we're looking like we might suck for the next 4 without major moves, so I'll take that risk.

    Would you trade Miller and 4th pick for Kapanen...either now or in off season.  

    Toronto has to trade some of their forwards for defenseman.

    I don't want to move Miller, but if Krueger is just going to keep rotating him to the press box, then yea I make this trade.

    He definitely did for that game 

    Lamar played horrible, but that doesn't mean you should draw any broad conclusions about the league figuring him out. Not every team has the Titans defense, and players are, in fact, allowed to have bad games without it being more than a bad game.

    And what are our worst contracts? Okposo, Bogo and Risto.  20% of our cap in two nothing player and one D who isn’t good at D. 

    Botterill has had ample opportunity to move on from one of those, and chosen not to. Botterill chose to spend $2.85M on McCabe, $2.75M on Hutton, $2.28M on Vesey, $4.3M on Frolandella, $5.25M on Sheary (+Hunwick), $3.5M on Sobotka...and more. And that's without factoring in how he got rescued from $4M on Berglund. Jason Botterill is responsible for Jason Botterill's cap problems.
