    So let me get this straight.

    Moving KO, Mitts and EJ were done so they could start playing with pace.

    They had no problem playing with pace last year having Mitts and KO. 

    KA adds EJ; this, EJ, Mitts and KO are not allowing the team to play with pace.

    I'm gonna surmise that either Chad D is full of crap, his source is full of crap, or they are both full of crap. 

    I'm going with both. 

    Chad D can’t be full of crap with how often it’s been coming out in his tweets lately

    Hope all goes well. Must be scary 

    Thank you! He’s all good. They’re keeping him overnight to make sure no infections develop, but he’s been playing in the kids room of children’s nonstop. He’s a trooper that’s for sure!

    We had at least two guys that would have done something . . . and they are two guys that some here and on WGR never liked and are no longer on the team. You can guess who they are.

    I literally have no idea who you mean. Can’t be anyone from the last half of a decade.

    The Berggren one had probably the least physically aggressive line possible.

    Skinner-Krebs-Olofsson

    Bryson-Byram

     

    Krebs was over with the refs but the culprit was protected by the refs. Byram has concussion history so I'd rather him not fight. The other three are far from physical players. 

     

    The Fischer one had

    Skinner-Krebs-Peterka

    Jokijarju-Power

    Again, not exactly a group of players who impose their will on anyone. Plus I honestly think some of the players were confused due to how odd it looked.

     

     

     

    There’s nothing to be confused about—someone touches your goalie you do something to that person. It doesn’t matter if you turn out in the wrong.

    Bills (will) sign Nicholas Morrow (LB) from the Eagles.  He was the defensive play caller ("green dot") from midway through the season.  

     

    Edit: forgot nobody is actually signed yet.

    Completely unrelated but I spent probably close to 15 years thinking your username was Carpe Dean like a play on Carpe Diem. I won’t lie, when I realized it was Car Pan Dean you went from a mental image of Robin Williams in Dead Poets to my Uncle Bill. Uncle Bill is a knowledgeable hockey fan though so I don’t mean that as a slight.

    JSYK, we don't care where you ranked him, either. No need to be a dick. Everyone's hindsight is 20/20.

    I say let the squabblers squabble. All the little board infighting has been more amusing than the Sabres

    And why would a mod be blocking me? For calling out the whiners for their nonsense posts? LOL indeed.

    Uh because they are a sabrespace mod and do whatever they like? 

    In reality though, it’s because your posts are inflammatory. I think you come off as a whiny Pegula shill but I don’t go making underhanded comments about it because that’s not good for the board.

    You on the other hand tell Brawndo he’s dumb and doesn’t get hockey and say things like Thorny is a ***** Sabres fan for not being patient. That contributes nothing. The majority of your posts you’re either shilling or telling people they are bad fans. That also contributes nothing. 

    Do better.

  8. Star power is about marketing as much as it is skill:

    Tier 1: Opposing teams buy jerseys, people pay money to see the player in person, cards and used memorabilia sells for significant amount, every hockey fan knows name

    Tier 2: Hockey fans tune in to watch the player, appears in NHL marketing, among top 3 in team jersey sales, casual hockey fan knows name 

    Tier 3: A team’s main draw, featured in team marketing and promotions, local market and above average NHL fans know the name  

    Pasta is somewhere between a one and a two. Tage is somewhere between a two and a three.
