    Again, said that were the show based in England, he would likely have had the title of "butler" on the show that Robert Guillaume's character was the title character.  But he WASN'T the butler on THAT show.  He was the butler on SOAP.

    But either way, it is a really stupid idea for a nickname for an 18 year old hockey player.

    Never could understand how Soap lasted only 4 seasons and Benson got 7.  I mean Gene Gattling, Mrs Crowse and Clayton Enditcott were nice ensemble pieces but nothing like Soap.

     Robbie Benson weighed in….”Sir, about that Butler idea, all the way up with a red hot poker”.

    Re: Tage Thompson 

    Last season, Tage had 12 streaks of 2 games or more where he didn’t register a goal 

    Tage was goal-less in 44 of 78 games played: 56%. The majority of Sabres hockey games, Thompson did not score. He finished 6th overall for goals

    this is sorta just how goal scorers do and how math does 

    in a broader sense it’s why McDavid doesn’t win the cup

    build a great team!

    Quality stats and strong take. The conversation is elevated when you are here!

    It may be a disaster to put Benson with Cozens right now.

    IF Savoi is in the starting line up for VO (not saying it will happen but if) there is little chance he moves to FL2.  There are Other options than Benson for sure, but who?  Kyle has been a guy who could move up the line on the right. But…

    It’s how you finish, not how you start.  Give them time to gel.  Other comments.

    Cozens was not good.  Missed on the 2/1 chance, horrible possession stats, and 0 for 3 on the faceoff dot during the PP.  

    Overall, special teams receive a failing grade. PK was too passive.  Krebs was 1/4 on faceoffs on the PK.  Blocked shots against was a significant factor.  Especially on PP. 

    Clifton should probably be playing with Power.  
     

     Greenway had poor advanced stat metrics but I thought played average to slightly above average, although the proper response in the first was either do nothing to get the man advantage or instigate and fight.  A weak cross check was not a valid option.

    It’s all the rage with the kids😀

    Wagon: 

    A sports team that is on a hot streak, can’t be stopped. They roll over all of their opponents with ease.

    Jim: “Did you watch the Yankees game last night”

    Fred: “Yeah. Yankees are a wagon.”

    Now I know you’re capping. The kids can’t watch an entire baseball game.  If you had said did you see the highlights on tik tok, maybe.

  6. Missing Östlund.  Fits in more prominently than at least 7 of the forwards listed.  
     

    If Dahlin is not signed for 7/8 years in the $10-11m…and Owen takes a bridge like Ras, you can sign Joki to an extension.  Want to see to see his growth this year but I could see them trying to keep the band together.

    I'm surprised at how often Miami is letting the play clock run down below 10 after a run or a completion tackled in bounds.  They're not showing any urgency to get back in it

    Down 28  - 4 scores with less than 8 minutes.  They know the odds.  It’s why Hill was on the sideline.

    If I were a wagering fella (I'm not), I'd hit the over for sure.

    Currently the Bills are -3 and the over is 53.5.  So they are predicting a 29-26 game.

    I like the Bills D is far better than the Chargers, Denver or New England.  if Buffalo scores 4 TD’s I like their chances.

    Embarrassed to say I’ve never heard of him.  If you said Graham Slaggert, I’d be willing to bet he was a front man for London Calling, The UK Clash tribute band.  Not Sabres forward from Indiana.

    If you look further into Cowley you’ll see that he had his music in A LOT of movies.  He was a large contributor to the soundtrack for gay pornography in the early 80’s.

    Interesting. 80’s gay porn, not in my wheelhouse.  Trading Places, definitely.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with it.
