There has been several great articles in The Athletic concerning the Sabres, I'm with PA, this wasn't one of them although if this is one of there PPoor one's, that does say a lot for their other ones. Anytime you put Marty Beeron in an article, you lose me almost immediately.

I'm always excited when the hockey season is about to start. I'm also very optimistic that the tank years and their after effects are over. Playoffs, I'm not sure but a much better product on the ice will happen and I think more than a couple of people will be surprised at Berglund and Sobotka, they are not Girgs and Larry. They are legitimate NHL players we've added to the bottom 6 and when injuries occur at least not to our star players, we have prospects down on the farm to take their place without a monstrous drop off in talent. Hold on to your hats boys and girls this will be the first time in quite a while that we have a real NHL team to watch and cheer for plus with Skinner, Eichel, Casey and Dahlin there'll be more jump out of your skin moments to cheer for also. Great year I don't know but I'm not jaded enough to not be able to really enjoy some talent on the ice coming from our boys for a change.

How things are set for the first day of practice that's more of a drill practice *than* anything else, means nothing on who'll be matched up for the 1st game of the regular season. Be patient grasshoppers, we'll see in due time.

Not so funny, deleted post

LOL, I was trying to be nice.

inkman is just trying to help

PK Subban's answer to this

I thought that too but if someone picks him up, doesn't he have a guaranteed spot on that team's roster for the year?? Who'd do that??

Sybil returns as inkman

Well I became Medicare eligible the past couple of days ago. I was debating whether I should put this in the Complaint Thursday thread or here. Well the countdown to retirement continues. 363 Days on the wall, 363 daysssss, If one of those days would happen to fall, 362 days on the wall........ you know the rest.

I'll take 1 too

My opinion is 1C 2C 3C will be Eichel-Casey and Berglund. Casey will get the majority of the Offensive zone starts and Bergs will get a majority of the Defensive zone starts until Casey can prove he can handle it. From what I've seen of him (yes limited) he takes his defensive responsibilities seriously. He'll be more than fine when he gets acclimated to the league. There was one time in particular in the 3rd period of the prospects game where NJ came in on a 4 on 2 rush. Casey hustled into the play and did a nice job breaking things up before NJ could get anything rolling. He'll be fine. Speaking of the 3rd period there was one rush where Dahlin passed to Thompson who stick handled it in and passed to Casey that Casey bounced off the post. Just a beautiful looking play. Like I said not only he but they'll be fine.

If you get one please pm me also. I was hoping to watch this also.

I'm still on Call for work for approximately 20 more hours. I STILL HATE BEING ON CALL Example of being on call, I get a call at 4am stating "my freezer isn't working right"....... Want to reply but don't "I don't work on freezers and even if I did WTF do you want me to do about it at 4am"??

That's what happens when you pick 11th. I have QBs available not RBs as stated above.

Valleyboys

I have 2 extra QBs, Marriota and Smith, make me an offer if you'd like, if not that's ok no problem. Too many teams have 1 QB at the moment. I'll most likely be trading sometime later this year with someone.

Ozark season 2 has started on Netflix. Not sure it has been mentioned already or not. I'm about 1/2 way thru, so far so good. Binge watching this weekend.

Speakers are so subjective, not only to the listener but what room/enviroment you have them in. I had some speakers I was impressed with in the store but wasn't when I had them at home for 2-3 years. Re-arranged some things at the house and moved them from a carpeted room to a room with hard wood floors and they sound amazing. Same thing happened for me with a sound bar and sub woofer. I'm not sure what's behind the science in this but I just know it was a startling discovery.

Haters gotta hate, they just can't help themselves

I can't wait for the season to begin

I went with None and O'Regan on 2. It would be nice to have none and none through December. An injury free year after last years in-cast fest.

Hang in there nfreeman, I feel your pain, I still miss mine and he's been basically gone for 6 years. One day he'll come around and still be your son but you'll be dealing with a man instead of a boy. You'll see it in his eyes. That's when you know you did a great job raising him. Mine still comes around once a month or so for the weekend to visit. Savor that time to. To stay on topic, I'm starting Call tomorrow at work. I HATE being on-call.

A No. 1 farm system is no guarantee of success. The Atlantic is very competitive, and Buffalo needs guys to develop well, while continuing to add talent. But in terms of adding value to their team from players who didn’t play in the NHL last season, nobody is in better shape to do that than the Sabres. Well we won the #1 spot Well Brawndo as usual beat me to the punch
