SABRES 0311

Yes I have. And those acts are part of the same mechanism. They provide a plausible reason to assess. Although, walking up to a stranger car parked down the road late at night (by yourself) is borderline naive.

People naturally distrust groups not like them. Ever watched out the window when a new family moves into the neighborhood or wondered what that car is doing parked down the road late on a Friday night? Congratulations you have a survival instinct which makes you observe things outside of the baseline.

I don’t think there’s any surprises to be had. Since the offseason acquisitions, the only disagreements were on line combinations and pairings. Nothing really as far as the overall roster.

You think every person “trained” or manipulated into distrusting others outside their group are hateful to begin with? That is incorrect.

It starts with the goat head and then the slug. May it bring them a decade and a half of success.

Looks like the last two preseason games will be in ESPN+.

Reino yes. Ullmark, meh. Still better than UPL though.

I don’t see how it kills the in a couple years. That cap is going up by a lot over the next few years. Trading him in five years isn’t going to be that hard.

Not really. He chose a two-year deal probably to see what direction the team goes and to wait until the cap increases. Byram wants to be a top guy which will not happen with Dahlin and long-term, Mrtka could take his spot on the top pairing.

Assuming Byram wants to stick around.

If all other things remain the same: Dahlin Byram Kesserling Mrtka

I am enjoying watching Mrtka. He’ll probably be the first prospect I have ever really cared to keep tabs on development.

About the only thing SS agrees on is Muel’s absence would be negligible at best. I honestly wonder what metrics or matrix this organization used to evaluate his on ice value.

I’m going with one or two Sabres to focus my irritation at. OP for sure.

OP turning the puck over leading to goals against isn’t anyone else’s fault.

It won’t but I’m sure we’ll hear all about some gestapo yada yada sky is falling thing. Mind you, the FBI under Comey thought it would be a good idea to assign Strzok and Page to Crossfire Hurricane. Not exactly a guy I’d waste my time on prosecuting.

True but it doesn’t excuse individual play.

I am really starting to like Mrtka. He’s an aggressive DMan that doesn’t take any 💩. Unlike a certain other DMan. Did OP turn that puck over on the half wall which ended up in our net after he got outmuscled?

I wonder what made the organization (TP) decide to hire for this role. I mean why now and not before?

I sometimes wonder if propaganda about the U.S. being 1930s Germany plays a part in someone’s decision to go on a shooting spree. Who knows.

Like baseball you got a starter, relief, and closer.

MSNBC with a dash of purple hair a nose ring.

You know who else took kids away from parents? Nazis. You know who else made stupid decisions for their military? Nazis You know who underestimated their adversaries? Nazis Hey this is easy. All you have to do is make a comparison to nazis and start throwing it out there. Do I start saying first they came for this, then that, then the other thing, then you, then Barney the purple dinosaur? Are you scared enough now to do what I want you to do because I falsely believe I know better?

I lost a guy on my team in the middle of deployment because of the vaccine. He refused to get it, quarantined, deployed, half way through got sent home. Needless to say, when your job is to work in small teams or independent, losing even one guy is significant for ops. Oh yeah, it happened while we were in a not so friendly part of the world. So unnecessary 😂

I don’t see whatsboutisms (spelling?) working out. Wasn’t that long ago we were told ISIS was JV. That incompetence resulted in a serious lack of response providing freedom of movement for arguably the most brutal terrorist organization in the last couple decades. Almost forgot, a ton of weapons and equipment getting left for the Taliban.
