‘Air - a story of greatness’ was entertaining. Currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Matt Damon, playing Sonny Vacarro and Viola Davis, as Delores Jordan were both excellent. Classic soundtrack of the 80’s. Ben Affleck plays a caricature of Phil Knight. Interesting story about the inter workings of Nike which has been seen as just a running shoe company before signing Jordan to a sneaker deal. Air is the first project from Afflecks and Damon’s production company Artists Equity.

Wasn’t that Miller flailing on the ice while the game winning goal was scored right in front of him? That’s the player I remember.
Unrelated, Emily Kaplan is not good. Pretty sure Deboer thinks so too. -

There are enough local food businesses that can populate the concession areas without difficulty.
Mighty Taco
Schwabl’s
Anderson’s
Bocce or LaNova (the real stuff)
Tim Horton’s or Spot
Anchor Bar, Duffs, or Bar Bill
Chef’s
Any number of local breweries
Paula’s
Sahlems
etc, etc, etc
Agree with the sentiment. Buffalo has amazing local fare, that could and should be sold in the arena. My only disagreement is that not only should ‘Mighty Taco’ not top your list, it should be removed completely. It’s disgusting. Any person who has tried a taco outside of the 716 knows this is true. ETS is better and still wouldn’t rank outside the region.

Yankees. My fathers player was Mantle. My first recollection of the World Series was the ‘77 Yankees and Reggie. WPIX in NY was added to local cable in Buffalo in early 80s so we watch Winfield and Donny Baseball. After 25 years on the west coast I can say the Angels are a distant second. My boy loves Trout. Ohtani is God here. The locals will be devastated when he leaves in free agency. Anaheim is a nice place to watch a game. So much more pleasant than LA (sorry Weave).

Samuelsson. Dahlin
Power. Graves
Hanifin. Lyubushkin
Stillman. Joker

How can you acquire Hanifin and not lay him on the third line?

And neither does KO, unfortunately
KO ranked 314 in scoring last year. Less the included D he is top 250 amongst forwards with ice time less than many around him. That’s what -low third line numbers? Names like Van Reimsdyk, Cirelli, Fast, Eric Staal and C Dvorak all had the same point totals. If he comes in as true fourth line guy on a reasonable AAV I can live with what offers on the ice, and more importantly what he brings off.

Damn, Nurse is a savage!
Rarely does a guy take 7 or 8 solid shots and come back and deliver a dozen of his own. Glad to see it though. What AP did was unacceptable, and a response was justified. The slash was vicious and on a star player that could easily have resulted in ending Leon’s playoffs. If he doesn’t receive a game I’d be surprised.

Can we close this thread already? The people have spoken. Kane is a shell of his old self.

A short article on Devon Levi playing in the World Championship.
Slightly disappointing…
Levi mentioned Calgary Flames forward Milan Lucic as someone he looks forward to playing with, as he grew up watching the 34-year-old.
“I’ve been watching a lot of these guys growing up for a while. Milan Lucic is my teammate and I’ve been watching him since, I don’t even know, and playing video games as him growing up. It’s so great to be his teammate and the same for a lot of these guys.” said Levi.

The thing I'm surprised the most with is the Florida/Toronto series, or should I say the Toronto reaction to being down 0-2.
On social media, there is a lot less Toronto Angst than I thought, a lot of people thinking being down 0-2 is just a minor inconvenience that will simply mean they will win in 6 or 7 games instead of 4 or 5 games now. AND, listening a bit on the Radio to 590 out of Toronto, most of the hosts have the same opinion.
Instead of Toronto fans/media being super worried, they are still very very sure Toronto will win the next 4.
If you are tuned in tomorrow, please share their reactions being down 3-0.
We were driving back from Vegas so I missed what had to be vile abjection from Biz. I wish I recorded just to see his response.

6’6 heavy player, who can skate
Dman who’s has been very good for the Flames and matured both off and on the ice1 year left on his deal and could be had for a 2nd round pick and 2nd tier prospect
seems Iike a good idea for our bottom pair IMHO
This doesn’t interest me. I’d rather have at least three years of term if we trade. Parayko term is too long. Need to find something in between. He is a hit machine, but also takes 30 + minor penalties a year. If he’s the compliment to Joki on the bottom pair, maybe. But didn’t he bad mouth Buffalo on the way out? Does that fit with Adams plan?

Zadorov will never be a Sabre again, nor do I want him. He takes too many undisciplined penalties.
I'd just as soon bring back Risto. (And no, I don't want him back either, but Zads is in the same boat for me.)
Yep. Plus Rasmus Andersson is better, has more term and is right handed. If the Sabres are looking to extricate a defenseman from Calgary I hope it’s him. Or Weegar. But he just signed and extension. I wonder what Andersson would cost?

It is. Looked like the refs wanted it to be 2-2 though. I suspect it goes 7 .
Agreed. Marcus called for questionable penalties not once but twice?

Dahlin tops 70 points
Power, JJP, and Quinn all land top 5 for Calder votes
Cozens tops 60 points
Sabres miss the players by 2 points, but instead of a loser mentality setting in, it fuels them to greater heights as Okposo is brought back on a 1 year contract to continue being captain and the 2023 is a wildly successful season.
Not bad LGR! I gave you a cup for those predictions back in July. Prescient.

Krebs and Mitts have one year each left on their deals. Both will be RFAs. Let’s say for arguments sake that both take another leap forward next season. Mitts goes from 59 points to the low 70’s and pots 20+. Can we really afford another $7 mill forward long-term? What about Krebs? How much do you pay him if he becomes a 40pt + guy and he becomes a JT Compher type player? He made great strides toward that goal this year.
As to the topic at hand, how DG utilizes Mitts will help determine where Krebs plays. If Mitts is the 3C, Krebs either returns as the 4C or tries his hand as a winger.
I can’t see Krebs getting much more than 30 playing 4C. How many 4th line players getting 13.5 ATOI get over this? I see him getting the same bridge Mitts has today. I’d be fine with a $2.5M extension that carries him through the 2026 season. If he blossoms during the contract, and one of the three #1s are pushing for a rosy spot, you can trade him for other assets.

He could sign as early as today and play tomorrow.
I’d be worried after such a strenuous tournament his play would be flaccid.

There were to options to leave unprotected: Borgen and Risto. Risto ended up getting a 1st+ in a trade, Borgen would have not gotten even close to that
the "+" is Levi. The first alone is enough to shut down that debate.

Why couldn't I eve have dated one of those twins where she tells me they share EVERYTHING with each other and asks if I would be OK with that...
I remember that story. Followed by “I’ve always wondered about my neighbor Tonya until the day …….” At least we were reading.
Glad to see Mitts continue his good play. Agree he needs to net a few more. His passing has been great lately.
Love seeing Thomers on a line with Greenway and Cozens. Donny obviously taking notes from SS comments after last game. Makes me think a big, strong winger (?) with Cozens and an improved Quinn could be an elite FL#2 next year.

These are all financially sound reasons, and boring AF. For those of us leading a married hum drum life, why not lie to us a little? How about you need seven bedrooms b/c the swingers club in south county is exploding and the current membership cannot host parties larger than 8. Or you are leaving the field of medicine and starting your own Branch Davidian cult where you are the new prophet. Polygamy and all. Salamanca is the new Waco.
