    ….and that is why Skinner is making $9 mill per season.  Of course the one guy we needed to lock up and didn’t is the Vezina winning goalie for Boston.  
     

    I am glad this is done, but if Power doesn’t quickly develop into a 50 pt guy who is at least decent in his own end, this contract is an over payment. 

    do you realize how much offense the Sabres created last year due to Power's breakout/transition from his own end?  There is NO WAY it's an overpayment simply based off that. He was off the charts good as a rookie at that.  Defense takes a few years...that's usually the last part of the game to come.

    Sounds like things got a little wild in London between the two...

    Guess they must have been listening to The Humpty Dance and they heard the line "I'm a freak...I like the girls with the boom...I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom", but they couldn't find a Burger King so they had to settle for "a Nando's bathroom" and got caught.

    Those thin walls in the UK I tell ya...

    One year and you commit 8.35 for the next 7 years.  Call me skeptical. 
     

    Starting next year, your top 3 defensemen have a cap hit of almost 24 mil.  For that I hope their play in the defensive zone improves A LOT. 

    If you looked at the metrics of the way he started breakouts and odd-man rushes from brilliant plays and stretch passes from his own zone, you wouldn't be.  The numbers were elite. Like top of the league for D-man elite.  That's his first year...it's only going to get better and better. Power had a LOT more to do with this team being so high scoring than most people realize.

    Has anybody eaten at that southern tier brewery place I think it’s called now? It used to be 716.

    is the food any good?

     

    And what about Labatt brewhouse? Is the food any good?

    I've been to Labbatt's several times...the food is good if you want basic stuff/bar food but it's not that great otherwise and expensive for what they offer.

  19. Zach Benson- Will be known as the best Sabre to wear #9

    I know there have been some pretty good players to wear the number 9 for the Sabres over the years, but 20 years from now Benson will be theist to wear the number!!

    Hmm...Benson will be theist?  That's an interesting take...do you have any evidence to back up this claim?  

    Do you know what church he goes to or what denomination he is?  

    Is he up for sainthood?  

    Please tell us more...

    I'd have Mule with Dahlin; Power and Clifton; Joker and EJ.  Other than that and UPL in the rafters in Rochester and Comrie as backup an we are set for opening night.  KO in for either VO or Jost.

    I hear you, brother.  I graduated in 1985.  Exactly 20 years before before Benson was born.  WTF !!

    I feel a little better...I graduated in 93 😂

    I saw somewhere that Rousseau’s injury isn’t looking good for this week. Rough news, especially if it’s anything serious. The guy has been a revelation so far this season.

    Hmm, don’t bet much, do you?  It’s minus on both sides because the bookmaker takes a cut.  That’s how it is for all sports betting.

    Uh, no it isn't...if I were to foolishly go and bet the Jags to beat the Bills it's +200, meaning if I bet $100 I win $200...

    It seems that spread bets or over/under bets are equal on both sides tho?  Is that what you mean?

    My first computer, an Atari 800XL had 64kB. No rads, no pumps.

    Mine was an Apple IIe with the monochrome monitor and the giant floppy disk with no hard drive...I thought it was the coolest thing of all time when my parents bought me a little converter box that I hooked up from the computer to the TV that displayed it in color instead of on the monochrome monitor...

    Then I was so bummed out when I went to my friends house and he had a Commodore 64 with a color monitor and all the cool games the Apple IIe never had.
