SABRES 0311

This is exactly what SS needs, a thread talking about aliens. I actually mean that. Not trying to be jerk.

These are both examples although the JD Vance one probably has more negative effect given politics dominates the media more than homelessness. My advice would be not to accept analysis from platforms or groups. Instead, people should make their own conclusions given information has never been so widely available, unless you live in North Korea. There seems to be an uptick in stupidity and how it manifests in people's actions.

I can see someone being held accountable for influencing the actions of another if that person had some type of relationship. There was a girl who got into trouble a while back because she apparently influenced a guy who eventually committed suicide knowing he had feelings for her. Broader examples would be educators, close family, so on. That said, there is a constant bombardment of desensitization on the internet. Even if you don't know the people posting they can influence your perspective when it's the same message over and over. Also add in people gravitate to sources that affirm their existing ideas and the whole thing becomes a loop where people start to feel like the angry/violent thoughts they have are justified. Those groups and people are protected under the First Amendment and censorship is a slippery slope. However, they draw comparisons to the worst in humanity's history to get a prescribed emotional response. They do not want solutions because friction gets them what they really want which is clicks, views, and agitation. In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, it's easy to see how jacked up in the head these people are based on what they are putting on social media. Some of them have been fired.

To answer the OP question I think it sucks for his wife and kids the most. His kids especially had no idea what he did for a living and only saw him as dad. This kind of stuff is pointless.

Article 4 gets the ball rolling by convening discussions. If Article 5 is enacted it would not mean every member nation has to send armed forces. Essentially it calls for the mutual defense with each member doing so how they see fit. I would be cautious about committing our military forces to that one theatre if it comes to that.

I’m with you on all that. I have some hope but when we are hinging team success on things like Benson breaking out, Kesselring offsetting Power’s timidity, so on I get worried.

That might be apathy setting in and I don’t blame you. We’ll see how they look mid November.

I WAS SOOOOO WRONG. I’m sorry 😭

Like wasting one of the best Dmen on the Sabres.

Game over 😂

We should trade Tuch for him.

I don’t t think anyone would be so devastated by a six year deal. I don’t hear of any other high end players begging to come to Buffalo.

Just my opinion on the power play. TT is obviously a threat with his one timer from the left half wall/faceoff circle. Dahlin is the quarterback at the point. To me the question is what other three fill what other roles. Id like to see Tuch stay between the slot and crease. He can screen or move out for a slot one timer. Norris can be the behind the net guy. His primary outlets are TT on the left half wall or Tuch in front. Byram fills the right point and dare I say Quinn on the right half wall. They present secondary shooting/outlet options and are dangerous enough to warrant coverage. Scheme: Use Byram, Norris , and Quinn to spread out defenders. This opens passing lanes to the primary shooters, TT and Dahlin. Tuch stays mobile by moving from crease to high slot and back. As he moves out Norris slides to top of the crease. As Tuch moves down Norris goes behind the net. You maintain a net front screen/tip potential. Half wall guys (TT and Quinn) carry the puck high or low on the walls. Point and Norris are their outlets. Center of Gravity: Puck movement high and player movement low. Defenders have to choose one to focus on. Make defenders open their box to open passing lanes. Primary Result: TT one timer with a Tuch screen. A Tuch one timer from the mid to high slot with Norris screening or looking for a rebound. Secondary Result: Dahlin shot from the point with a Tuch screen, Norris on the rebound. Or a Quinn one timer on a Tuch screen.

That got real dark real quick 😂

When you hit the jackpot the first time there’s no need to keep playing the lottery.

I dunno. My mom says I’m the best son ever. Kind of elite if you ask me.

Theres probably open source information on the phone question. In depth might not be appropriate for this site. I dunno.

My lowest point is coming to accept the inevitable mediocrity. Yes I want this team to make the playoffs but when fandom meets reality, reality wins. Looking forward to Sabres hockey. Here’s hoping that many improbabilities occur for this roster to break the drought. I blame the players but not solely. Agree about Tuch. Agree on TP and I hope you outlast garbage ownership. You will!

Girgensons did show flashes of offensive upside in his first couple years. Benson has too. Unless he’s putting up 20 goals in the top six he can stay on the third line. Third liners aren’t bad players and he brings energy along with some offensive capabilities. When he’s 23-24 we’ll know better if he is a top six guy.

Wars on won on the ground. Aerial superiority is a nice to have but still doesn't guarantee victory and neither side possesses that superiority. Russia has the planes and Ukraine has the drones. I do not think any NATO ground operation(s) would be contained to the current theatre of operations.

Ok I’ll tie this into the Benson thread. I don’t understand how anyone who complains about the last 14 years wants a 5’9” twenty year old in the top six.

Dahlin, TT, Tuch, and Byram need to have good seasons or there’s nobody at the helm. Benson and Quinn need to produce consistently throughout the season….for once. Kesserling and Norris have to be what we hope they will or we are in trouble at the 1C and 4D positions. Not ideal. Krebs and Greenway just need to keep doing what the have been doing. Zucker and McLeod need to produce like they did last year. So most important IMO: Dahlin, TT, Tuch, Quinn, Kesserling, Greenway.

I think it matters. Those are some big boys. Then again if they don’t use their size to the fullest extent then that sucks. Not going down that rabbit hole about you know who. I don’t get too much into the pipeline guys but from what I’ve read on here we can expect good things.

Yeah this is probably the most boring time. Baseball is cool but no MLB Buffalo team to root for. Not much Sabres news. Preseason football is ok.
