It will take us trading our first or winning the lottery for me to get excited for this season.

When we were in Nashville we lived a five minute walk to the farmers market and it really turned me on to buying direct. Not only to support local, but the conversations and connections were always a nice way to start the day. We’re walking distance to the Bidwell Market opening in a few weeks. I believe Porter Farms is there. I’ll have to check out the offerings. Thanks!

He seems like a really good example of the Peter Principle. I had no issue with his hire, he’s just missing something that keeps him from success as the big boss.

At the end of the day, I’d be surprised if we didn’t more or less agree with our views. I know it’s on the players as well. The frustration is that they made the predictable move when there were arguably better options out there. Ruff can certainly be the man for the job and I will celebrate his success if that’s the case. But the Sabres organization doesn’t look thorough and serious here imo.

I can’t tell if you mean this positively or negatively and that’s the problem.

The playoffs is my entire point. Ruff has very little success making the playoffs and like you said, when we does, it’s because he already has a playoff roster, not that he has elevated the team. There was much more pedigree out there from a making the playoffs perspective. Especially in the last decade. But they went with Ruff.

So when given a roster good enough to make the playoffs he can do the bare minimum and do so. Good stuff. Glad we have a roster of good players.

We just moved back to the area and have been looking for a CSA and meat share. Any good recommendations?

He spent his entire career with an inept, loser franchise and finally comes a chance to sign elsewhere and now he’s not tough enough to stick it out? lol this is a great take. The only reason anyone has re-signed here the last decades is security, overpayment, or knowing we are their only suitor.

And you’re claiming what exactly then? That he’s not playing through the pain of a spleen injury and has been faking for months? He’s a hockey player, if he can tie up his skates and contribute in the playoffs he’s going to. I’ve read face off wins are almost directly tied to face offs taken at the NHL level. It’s no surprise he’s gotten better.

4 playoff trips out of 11.5 seasons without Hasek.

I’ve made several jokes about hiring former Sabres all of which seem to have generated positive feedback. Go with the most cliche picks and those will be what the fan base wants.

I think the 4th movie was the peak. Too many details left out from that point onward, I left the theater disappointed after every subsequent movie. 3rd book is the best book is the real hot take of the thread, but it’s true.

Jim Boeheim is second all time in wins for men’s basketball. He’s the perfect analog for Lindy Ruff, minus the fact he’s actually won a championship.
