SABRES 0311

Too much passing for Dallas to keep up with.

Wow that was incredible. Where did these guys come from?

Patience is strong with these guys.

It’s such a complicated web to navigate in that part of the world. We have friends who are friends with people we don’t like. Some of the people we don’t like are fighting with other people we don’t like.

It’s like bringing a full size spare tire on a long road trip. You probably won’t use it but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

I don’t like the idea of leaving allies when they need us like we did in Iraq. All I’ve seen in the news is how this could provide an opportunity for ISIS to build back up. I’m not as worried about that as I am Russia using it as a way to increase their influence. They aren’t the only ones either. I’ll leave it at that. OTOH we can’t fall back into the nation building stuff. From a U.S. perspective these are called low intensity conflicts and I think dabble into proxy wars. IMO we could support the Kurds with a small foot print consisting of SOF, air power and intelligence. Large scale deployments I am against.

Call them what you want but they were the line who got **** done against Florida. Good on them and good for the team we can rely on more than a couple players.

Really glad to see the Girgs Larry KO line get some points. They work hard every game and have built some chemistry. Larry showed he has some decent hands, Girgs knows how to use his body, KO has the playmaking ability. They are defensively responsible and physical. Individually they might be replaceable in terms of dollars and skills. However I don’t know if you can replace what they are capable of together. It’s like a Mega Zord from Power Rangers.

Why is there a filter?

I’d worry after he gets a couple more games in and still looks ineffective. Then again maybe he doesn’t fit the new mold.

Yeah that’s not like fraud, waste and abuse or anything.

Agreed. Still feels like they need to take a couple more steps forward to become dangerous but they look so much better than the last couple years.

Blame it on Vesey even if he wasn’t out there.

You can’t hate on Vesey too much. In fact you can’t hate on him enough.

If Ralph gave more minutes to the “fourth” line and took it from the “third” line I wouldn’t complain.

Nobody is saying Dahlin sucks. In fact I think when people get mad at him for making a mistake it’s because we know he’s capable of not doing that. He’s not a footnote he’s just not the only shiny toy in the box anymore.

So you’re saying he’s pretty good??

Heard that

Three penalties in two games.

Here comes another VO special.

Crowd sounds like they’re getting into it on tv.

And Jack with 2 tallies.

One thing I like so far is the absence of knee jerk reactions to line juggling. Seemed like Phil was too quick to change things where as Ralph is giving the players a chance to build chemistry. On that note I think Vlad stays put for a while. Not because of his abilities but because things are working ok as is. But I do get where you are coming from.

If that’s the way it goes I trade Ristolainen protect Dahlin, Miller and Montour the rest are expendable

Is there something wrong with using the abbreviated form of Ralph Krueger? Serious question because I’m not picking up on it.
