SABRES 0311

So wait for a talented player to spend a few years on a successful team then trade for him? Two problems with that. 1. Sabres don’t have the luxury of doing that. Nor does any team. 2. This method does not change the Sabres culture by holding current players accountable. In turn it likely makes talented players with good attitudes not want to come here. Look at the big names we recently had. Kane, O’Reily, even Skinner. None of them known for great attitudes but they chose to come here.

Guy had three years to see what direction they were going in and about decade or so of historical context prior to resigning with them.

Phil is such a tool. That second line makes want to bang my head against the wall. Dahlin and Risto on D together. What could possibly go wrong? Phil is either not even trying or trying to get fired. Not even puck drop and I’m aggravated.

Maybe Jack will score another own goal. No better way to show Ottawa we will not be outdone in this game of suck.

They should just agree on 8.250. He hit a wall but overall had a good season, perfect fit for Jack and a core piece going forward. For Skinner he now has a center who can keep up with him and a team who can sign him for eight years taking him well past his prime. After all this time they go from being 1.5 mil apart to 1 mil apart. Just pay the guy, makes some trades to get a 2C and find a coach.

What? So you wouldn't want Draisaitl because he is on a losing team?

Ha. I look at Sabres stuff during meetings too. Sometimes I wonder how vital I am.?

No

For Nashville

I dunno about being inferior hockey players but they make good sammis for the boys.

I remember that as a kid playing at Hockey Outlet (Sabreland).

Put him on a line with Sam and Erod. Maybe Mitts and Sam.

I would love for him to call a cup winning game for the Sabres. Honestly though I just hope he is still around when they do win a cup. The man deserves to see it more than anyone I can think of.

I think with a young group of players you need experience at the helm. Young players and a first time head coach is too much learning on both ends. Almost like the blind leading the blind. I think he could do good things as an assistant to an experienced coach while getting more on the job experience himself from that coach. Same goes for GM. Right now we have two guys doing the lead job for the first time overseeing a team primarily of new or young players. I think if you put Phil and JBott in a position to coach/manage an accomplished franchise they would have more room to learn themselves. Essentially the experienced players keep the product entertaining and competitive while the new leadership does minor tinkering in the first few years. Instead we have chickens running around with their heads cut off and two guys who don't have anything to draw on regarding the answer. WRT to TPeggs comment, the answer is you sir stay the hell out of it. Although not in an optimal position, JBott and Phil need to figure it out because its their jobs and its how they will learn. As soon as daddy oversteps (and he has not yet) they will become more frustrated and scared to make what is likely bold decisions for next year. Apologies on the length.

That's asking a lot now a days. Ottawa might have a better chance of scoring on our PP.

Listening to the game at work and reading everyone's comments. Pretty entertaining.

I'd like Torts. At least he himself offers entertainment during pressers.

I wouldn't got hat far.

Mind your Ps and Qs. Lame joke I know.

So if RR knew of wrong doing why not go before Congress? I get the idea of a wire would be to catch the guy in the act but after it didn’t happen why not come forward with what he knew publucally like Cohen did. Could’ve done it in a closed session followed by a public one. You say not to take Trumps “lies” at face value but you think RR knew of wrongdoing and wanted to do the right thing. Trump said no collusion for two years and the left tried to convince everyone it happened.

Correct. The investigation under Mueller began shortly after Comey was fired. Comey was already investigating the campaign and Russian interference. The firing of Comey left McCabe in charge of the FBI. Neither McCabe nor Comey were Trump appointments and Comey is suspected of leaking information to the MSM. Comey’s firing provided those in charge of the FBI and I assume CIA an obstruction of justice narrative and exacerbated CI claims. The new narrative will be obstruction and finances but they will go nowhere. Democrats need to recover in the eyes of their base after no collusion.

He also offered to wear a wire while meeting with Trump. After claiming it was not serious, former Deputy Director McCabe provides a different narrative. So if someone desperately wanted oversight of the investigation to go in their favor, who would they rather have? A: New Trump appointed AG B: Guy who offered to use his position to spy on POTUS https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/02/17/politics/mccabe-fbi-rosenstein-wire/index.html

Lol ok. Is that why every time she makes an appearance she talks about how she got screwed by a flawed system which feeds into the current Democrat idea of abolishing the Electioral College? Or how about Obama’s handling of ISIS and quick withdrawal from Iraq which has led to increased Iranian influence. Pretty sure those are current issues. But I’ll play along. For two years people against Trump touted Mueller’s investigation. Now that it didn’t say what they wanted it’s on to house investigations. The star witness so far is Michael Cohen who after hours of preparation with Schiff’s people still didn’t say what they wanted him to. Why? Because when investigations start he would be found guilty of again lying to Congress. Those investigations will start quickly and use the FISA and fake dossier documents. This will be so Trump does not declassify the FISA warrants and supporting documents. The new goal for the Dems will be to focus on painting Trump as the Capone of our time. If successful the Dems win 2020 and bury all evidence of corruption which led to the investigation. People are impressed with how little leaks came out during the investigation and astonished it didn’t say what they wanted it to. Could it be by removing the corrupt FBI leadership there was no backstop? Maybe that’s why the left wanted Barr to recuse himself so that RR would oversee it all.
