    tl;dl?

    Two months ago nobody within the organization could have expected to move on from Housley. Likely there was some communication breakdown between Housley and the players. Modern coaches need to be talking to players day in and day out to help them understand what is expected. Players now are looking for more direction. I don’t remember much being said about on ice results. Eichels name came up in terms of communicating. Said Botts must have known there was a problem to not do exit interviews first bI’m at work but later this afternoon I’ll find the times. He probably only spends about five minutes or so on buffalo.

    And people wonder why we're quickly growing into a surveillance society... (yes, still growing... it can get worse).

    Ridiculous.  But, last year we had a a few months of significant car thefts and other criminal mischief in the area (very rare).  During that I installed a custom security solution to deal with any potential issues that make their way onto my property.  We house non-releasable birds of prey on the property and if something were to happen, I'd like to at least have some video evidence along with potential warnings that someone is where they should not be.

     

     

    Not to get off-focus here, but I’m really interested in birds of prey and potentially having my own someday or becoming a falconer. I’d love to hear more about it. Raptors are cool as hell, really going to miss seeing them everyday once I move.

    I feel weird. I actually would rather draft 2nd or 3rd.  I like Hughes but I don't love him. I can't pinpoint why and I am still getting info on him so maybe that will change.  Kakko and Turcotte and even maybe Cozens are just more intriguing to me. 

    In my mind Kakko would have a greater immediate impact on the team, but the Hughes-Kane comparisons get me pretty excited. I certainly wouldn’t be disappointed with either.

    Lottery odds (Fewest Points to Most)

    Colorado Avalanche (from OTT) 18.5%

    Los Angeles Kings 13.5%

    New Jersey Devils 11.5%

    Detroit Red Wings 9.5%

    Buffalo Sabres 8.5%

    New York Rangers 7.5%

    Edmonton Oilers 6.5%

    Anaheim Ducks 6.0%

    Vancouver Canucks 5.0%

    Philadelphia Flyers 3.5%

    Minnesota Wild 3.0%

    Chicago Blackhawks 2.5%

    Florida Panthers 2.0%

    Arizona Coyotes 1.5%

    Montreal Canadiens 1.0%

    The odds for the remaining clubs will increase on a proportionate basis for the 2nd Lottery Draw, based on which club wins the 1st Lottery Draw, and again for the 3rd Lottery Draw, based on which club wins the 2nd Lottery Draw.

    Imagine if he had a coach who taught him/told him/forced him to do such a thing. Imagine if Skinner and Sam actually moved on the powerplay so Eichel could get them the puck. 

    Eichel was good this year. We missed the playoffs because of others. 

    Eichel isn’t infallible, yet you’ve been treating him as such. Yes, it’s not his fault we are a *****-ass team, but he certainly could have been better. He’s the face of the franchise and the captain of the team. Right or wrong, people are going to expect more out of him than everyone else. You keep saying what about this guy or that guy, and yes those are valid points, but your franchise player is always going to be the most talked about and most scrutinized. It’s a much bigger deal when Eichel doesn’t perform or lollygags around the ice or to the bench on shift changes or displays a pisspoor attitude. Every Sabres fan knows Jack Eichel and has certain expectations of him that go far beyond the scoresheet. You keep deflecting away from Eichel to others, but guess what—most Sabres fans care far more about Eichel than anyone else in the organization so he’s going to be the most discussed and scrutinized. You don’t need to chime in every thread that he’s criticized with deflecting responsibility.

    I’ve never been to Universal.

    Every time I make plans to go to Florida, I always put Disney over Universal in my mind, so I end up spending my money at Disney ?

    In my opinion Universal is far better than Disney. It’s less crowded, far less expensive, and less child-oriented.

    The hard part is the launch.  The schedules aren't tight.  Honestly, when we do universal, we stay at one of the Universal resorts.  So much easier and you completely and utterly are able to get into the "vacation" mindset.  Forget driving an hour to the beach, just do one of the three night Universal packages and thank me later. 

    I totally agree with the universal trip,  one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. Definitely stay at one of the resorts, you’ll get “free” express passes and early access to Harry Potter World.

    I definitely wouldn't have ever assumed Doug Weight is some sort of criminal based on the Kato comment. I'm guessing no one under 30 will have any idea what he's talking about. What a terrible reference (by the writer).

    Am under 30 and I have no idea what he was talking about

    There’s also a Top Golf in the area now

    I would recommend DC with a stop at Gettysburg along the way. The Nationals will be in town and you might also have the option of a Caps playoff game. The Smithsonians are great (and free), as is the National Zoo (free) and the aquarium (not free) in the Baltimore Harbour if you can make it up there. If it would be his first time, monument tours are a great way to get an initial appreciation for the country’s history, especially at night when everything is lit up. Arlington and the changing of the guard is also a must. 

    I was big into DC when I was his age (and still am), but it’s certainly not for everyone. It’s an incredibly walkable city and while the hotel and food can get expensive, it’s easy to limit expenses there.

    TBD I haven’t made it out of the upside down yet. Spoiler alert: the Sabres are bad here, too.

     

    Separately: just watched the first episode of the FX What We Do In the Shadows series. Not bad. It’s got Matt Berry from IT Crowd in it. Very similar humor to the movie. Highly recommend the movie if you’re into some British humor.

    I didn’t know they were making it into a series. Such a great movie.
