Broken Ankles

EVER!

Is it not 27 or seven accrued NHL seasons to reach UFA status? Which he would have after next year. Even though only 26. Puck Pedia shows UFA is expiratory status.

Thank God that decision is in the hands of Kevyn. God knows he won’t make the wrong one.

What about Savoie?

Can we trade both? Half joking, half serious. Ras is the only D that we have seen that truly affects play. These two are higher priced, elite JAGs. If we can get a top 3 and another Defensive D man, I’d be open. If I had to keep one it’s Power, only bc the contract certainty. $8.25m will look like a bargain in a few.

I thought about the League leading PK. You have McLeod (check your spelling Professor 😉), Tuch and Benson. Can Kozak be the fourth? Probably. I know a team could match up against a smallish 4th line and dominate, but I’d like to see the Sabres match up speed with speed the next time this team plays Montreal. If you have a heavy line up, then slide Kozak to the 4th, and/or plug in Greenway and Beck. For my money, Kozak and Zucker are medium grit and could grind and score. This team lacks scoring, and to be quite honest Greenway, Beck and Danforth cannot bring it. If we had the kids play together for a few games against other teams 4th line talent (maybe used exclusively at home games to take advantage of matchups) I think their contribution could be the difference. Trust me, I like the energy Beck brings. A real lunch pail guy. But the 4th line has been a huge negative on the ice. Danforth, Krebs - zero goals. Beck gets his first last night. I wouldn’t expect a dinosaur like Ruff to think different. It’s partly the reason we are in the basement. It’s more probable than not he just mixes up all the lines again and runs the kids back to Roch.

Wow, Quinn still has your ire? That surprises me just a bit. Too many turnovers and goals scored not what you might expect, but he is a half point per game forward with a huge ceiling and needs games played. Especially when you have Josh Dunne still in the lineup. Where does he rank for you? Dunne out —->Zucker in Krebs out —> Benson In Beck out —> Kulich in Greenway out —> Norris in Tage/Norris/Tuch Benson/McLeod/Doan Kulich/Kozak/Zucker Rosen/Östlund/Quinn Edit- still agree Ruff sends down Rosen and Östlund, cause….Sabres

Have a shift Beck!

Wasn’t the segment right before the opening face off Ruff talking about “cute passes” and getting more volume of shots towards the net. Guess no one was listening.

1/20 on the PP.

If Existential is a ten on the scale of dread, what is the normal amount of dread we Sabre fans experience on game day? “Spiraling” dread? If we were playing Card Sharks, I’d say “that's going to be a higher number”. Must Tie.

Freud would probably say that there’s a part of you that feels like the last line of defense for something (work, family, a project, a team), and lately it feels like you’re getting hammered with ‘shots’ without enough support. Deep down, there may be a wish to just stop, walk off, or refuse that role—even if, on the surface, you’re the responsible one who stays in net. The dream stages both the humiliation you fear (getting scored on over and over) and the rebellion you fantasize about (quitting mid-game). Or you hate your father.

Because like all wives she’s wrong most of the time. Start pretending you can’t hear. Might frustrate her enough to stop offering constructive criticism.

I'm blaming my iphone.
