Broken Ankles

The truth lies somewhere in between. Beck had a very good game Saturday afternoon. He played quite a bit as the Sabres had 7 minor penalties. He’s a good second pairing on the PK. Tuch and McLeod, above average and both played elite yesterday. He also had three blocked shots on the PK. Malenstyn also played a significant role in adding energy and providing hits against Florida when playing 5v5. And I’m not talking about stat sheet hits that really aren’t hits. His three registered hits were all solid. We need more of this guy, bc as you pointed out, the super-genius GM overpaid for Beck when Robinson was out there for free. He’s a better option, and cheaper than Zemgus was/is. But your point about his -16 last year is a concern.

Ok, then just fire Duff.

Dump Fingers McDuff and hire Meghan as the full time host.

Benson saves Timmons bacon. Horrendous shift for Timmons.

His title on LinkedIn is VP of Revenue Strategy. Kinda hard to come up with new ideas every year to sell considering the product. Here is a strategy for Terry - Ice a good team, and tickets will sell themselves. More mental m@$turbation from 1 SHK3 Plaza.

Sabres Defense or Ottawa goaltending. Who’s worse?

Not in the barn, but kind of loudly blowing them off from what I see.

First time since 2018 I’ll be local for the home opener. Win or lose, I’m grateful to watch the game tonight with family. Expectations are low, with the absence of Kesselring, the addition of Bryson and question marks in goal, again. For the sake of the psyche of the team and fan base I hope for a fast start. As long as Igor doesn’t have a shut down performance, they have a good chance. Vegas has the Rags as a slight favorite (-115). Must Win!

Who are the seven? You have UPL, Lyon, Georgiev, Levi (who signed a one way but we knew was earmarked for Roch) and now Ellis. Although Puckpedia has the Ellis contract as a two way. And they have Ratzlaff and Leinonen as two way.

I think his chemistry with Tage is above average. The slash lines are crazy and I hope a harbinger of things to follow. I think I’ve seen 3 games he’s played in and he and Tage were dominant. Let’s see if he can breathe some life into an ineffectual PP.

I think Pierre took the call from the bathroom with a soup-can and string.

Thanks for the additional insight using future cap numbers. Here’s my question. If he walks away from Buffalo’s offer of $9m * 8 years (big assumption) what is his value in the open market where there is a restriction to six years max term? Is it $9m *6 ? Is it $10m * 6? Is it $11m *6? Ultimately he has to find a path to $72m right? Sure you can argue money isn’t everything in the equation. Just know that an offer like that is coming from a team with cap space and it’s not the Stanley Cup Champion's. If he manages a new deal of $60m at 6 years, he needs to sign a new deal after that one expires for ~$12m in a new contract at age 36. This year Jamie Benn signed a one year deal for $1m (plus incentives). Is Benn at age 36 a comp? If yes, what does that contract look like in 6 years? What is Ben’s value on the open market, if it’s just about the money? I get it that Alex and his camp have confidence in his abilities and are trying to maximize his value, but some of the CBA changes are countering the benefits that the Salary Cap expansion brings.

Sabre Space Management has informed me that you are sitting out the preseason games against Pittsburgh. We are looking to see if any of our recent draft picks have your skill set. Clearly your offseason regimen allows you to continue to live 3 seconds in the future.

Bravo!

… You start a conversation you can't even finish it You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed Say something once, why say it again? … Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?

The dejection on their fans faces looks familiar. I just can’t place it. 😏

Even though the move was validated by news of a potential injury to UPL - he's still a Lou-who-Zer-her. The Loser - Sabres style In the time of J BriseBois He was donkey, Analytics on my brains, and I'm out to sign a goalie With season ticket calls, suck down the edibles Old Fashioned brawls with the cheesecake embryos. Kill the PK and put it in the neutral zone Francise is flamin with a loser in the GM suite Eichel in Vegas with a name on the cup, Got a couple of draft picks, still off the hot seat. Someone came, saying I'm insane to complain About, New York State taxes and the lack of a palm tree. Don't believe everything that you read You get a play-off hibernation and a fanbase left to grieve So ask us to brace, with some grace and a snark Saving all your Sabres cheques and hoping just to catch a spark Yo, quit it.(please) eres un perdedor You’re a loser baby, so why don't we fire you! eres un perdedor You’re a loser baby, so why don't we fire you!

We can only hope.

As someone who has/had a problem (I hit 20 years sober in January) I would never tell anyone directly they have a problem. Comes off preachy. I can offer insight and observations if asked, but have rarely been. Reality is, people who have a problem don't want others, especially those who have been there, to confirm their suspicions. I gave up the sauce years before settling down and having kids, but I did drive drunk, and it is without question that which I regret most in life. I'm lucky I never injured anyone, including myself, or had to deal with the Police/Insurance/Lawyers. Already been said, but if you are this wasted - ear-lie in the morn, you done got problems, my man. Seek help immediately. If you get clean, maybe you get a second chance with the Sabres.

OK papa Smurf. Don’t you have some smurfing to do for your big date with Smurfette tonight?

Saw this as the play unfolded and thought for sure it would be blocked. Deone Walker should count his blessings. He completely missed his blocking assignment. It was unabated. The Henry/Jackson tandem is unicorn like so not too worried about the D. The play where Rousseau and Bosa are about the crush Jackson, there is exactly one QB who could have escaped. And he did. Those two, plus Oliver and Jones will fare much better against pocket passers than other D linesmen. I still think they could be elite. The safeties…not so much.
