Had a CT scan Tuesday afternoon, get out of work yesteday to 4 voicemails from my doctor's office telling me to call back. Short version of the conversation, I need to have further testing done on my liver and prostate. Seeing as how I am not even 40, the issues with the latter has me frealking out a bit. though my doctor didn't utter the dreaded C----- word, the urgency in her voice to get me further testing has me concerned, trying to keep my head up, Sabres wins will help there haha If the worst news comes, I'll be ready to kick this in the teeth

Mitts was definitely thrown into a tough situation. I know he scored last night, but, overall his offense hasn't been there as much as we'd like, but on the other hand, i dont think he's been a liability defensively either. Learning some two way hockey right off the bat, the offense will come. I think he breaks 15 goals this year, maybe pushes 20

we may however, be able to find a "smocking gun"

Alex Petrovic, i gave up trying to remember and used the Googles

I have only been around these boards maybe a year or so, how long did it take before the losses of Drury and Briere stopped being lamented?

Evandere Kane did it when he was here, he fought his Junior hockey rival, forget his name

lot's of heated debate for a guy that's not even a Sabre anymore

IMHO, that's way too much to give up. History has shown us what happens when you deplete your defensive depth (06 season playoffs), McCabe being out has been really bad for us too. they wouldn't take KO either, not a chance

this is a tough call, Skinner and Eichel already have some massive chemistry, there's no guarantee that Tarasenko would have the same with Eichel. Skinner and Eichel already work well and it's proven, but, i get your thoughts on contract length as well.

about 2 years ago I had a huge decision to make when i was medically discharged from the Air Force. I narrowed my job offers down to two that i really thought i would like. so i made a list of what was important to me and then ordered them in level of importance. one job was in Northern VA just outside of DC making more $ than I ever thought i'd make and the other was in Dayton OH making a lot less $, but, i had to take into account the cost of living as one of my most important factors as the jobs were both something i knew i would enjoy. My wife and i knew what kind of house we wanted to build and it was just not feasable to live near DC and the crazy prices there. Second on the list was how busy DC is and the amount of time we'd spend commuting (I know because i was stationed there 10 years ago.) In the end, it wasn't really much of a choice, we picked Ohio and love it here. Built out dream house for $500K less than we wouldve paid in DC long story short, make a list of important factors and rank them accordingly and the pros and cons that come with them. good luck

That trade as is, can't even happen, the Pens only have $116K cap space, Brassard would be $3M out but Sobotka and Baloo would be $5.9M in. darn that salary cap

Kind of hard to do since Sprong was traded to the Ducks, and even if Sprong were still in Pitt, why would they make that trade?

I have sold two vehicles on Craigslist and had no issues, perhaps i was just lucky. When the people wanted meet to check out the car, I took a friend one meeting and my dad on the other meeting. I met them both outside of Target (they have surveillance camera's watching the parking lot) i just parked real close and in view of the camera. both times the people were super nice and paid in full without any issue. i guess it's just timing, hoping the right buyer sees your ad and wants your car. i made sure to have as many pictures online and that seemed to help. good luck.

Going to be going to Cincy for a Cyclones game in December on Star Wars night. I'll keep an eye out for Sabres prospects like Glotov. Isn't there a Sabres goalie prospect down there? I looked up some stats and Glotov is doing really well, 4-13 +9 in 20GP.. D-man Stephens is 2-9 +12 in 18GP..

they are bound to clean up the play and stop letting the quality scoring chances happen. Eichel is bound to start putting more pucks in the net. i guess i can't see some collapse and long losing streaks

I think this can end any debate as to why we are winning games. Worst in the NHL at giving up quality scoring chances and expected goals agains, yet, #1 in slot save %. Hutton and Ullmark are monsters this year in the net

It'll be impressive to see Pommer get two OT winners tonight!

but how many poorly timed awful penalties though?

i see what you did there

Marner already has 30 assists, that's nuts. i was discussing the Leafs salary cap with a Leafs fan and his final guarantee was that Matthews, Marner, Nylander would not be over $25M of their yearly cap. seems a tad low IMO

Like last year with the Bills, "Why not us?" referring to going to the playoffs. That question is valid for the Sabres, "Why not us?" making a solid playoff run

haha well, I am just more of a wings and chicken finger sub guy when i go back to visit.

cold take and sac-religious as a Buffalonian, but, beef on weck is overrated, and that includes Charlie the Butcher
