Broken Ankles

Agree with his lack of physicality. He seems to be using his reach much more effectively this year, which nice to see. His face off % is off the charts winning over 60%, taking the most on the team. He is also averaging the most time on ice amongst all Sabres forwards. Bad teams, heavily protected zone starts but it’s not doom and gloom.

Prices are ridiculous. I paid under $60 for the CI package on Direct, which includes HNIC and I can record and watch in HD. I look forward to Amerk updates from the those who are watching.

I can’t see why the Sabres are not considering this seriously if (and only if) Hague, Krebs and others are included. If Jack is on the payroll for this entire year and unmoved, the cost is $10m (less escrow). If you you can extricate yourself of the contract immediately, and you retain $2m, it’s the exact same cost, only spread over 5 years. Leaving only the concern of $2m in dead cap per year for five. But with a pending cap explosion and so much youth on this team, is $2m going to affect them in 2024? Definitely not next year. And the year after, KO and Z come off for $9m more. If the cap moves north of $90m in 2025 it’s just an insignificant amount. Retain $2m, Krebs, Hague, Tuch and a conditional pick based on games played next year.

HINOSTROZA is rewarded for his pace of play today. Book it.

Most of those guys on Entry level deals (Linus, Pekar, Murray, UPL, etc.) have a minors salary under $100K. And those vets like Malone or Fitzgerald have a higher but reasonable minor salary like $125-200k.

But what about The Sugarhill Gang, or Kool Mo D, or Kurtis Blow?

Is that you Theana?

Anyone grinding you at the bar….like this young lady?

Muddy Waters

Where was this when he played in Buffalo? Dare I say grit?

I signed up last night with Directv for 3 payments of $19.99. The ease of setting up the Sabres as “my team” and ensuring all games record for the season in HD for playback whenever is worth it in my opinion. Any games unavailable on CI will be recorded with the same feature on TBS/ ESPN.

They waived D man Dennis Cholowski.

Dan Synder learned this from Michael Corleone, who never spoke to any of his soldiers like Cici. He had a lot of buffers.

Oleksiak, McCann, Donskoi and MoJo all previously on IR COVID-19 played tonight against Vegas. Seems odd they don’t have to make a move before adding everyone back. The Kraken sent two to Charlotte on Monday but brought four back from IR?

playing like the Rays....

This is so true. Brass balls. Although risky with his limited play in college he is a physical specimen and already has paid dividends this year.

Limbo lower now....

Marty's comment on his play was "Yikes". Just not a top pairing.

Maui Wowie

Limbo is a place for unbaptized babies. Or, a state of neglect or oblivion. Both seem applicable.

…another reason to not like him. The pointing is annoying.

The decision to bridge Sam being wrong in hindsight should not in any way affect the decision to bridge Rasmus. Sam played much better over the course of three full years (249 games) vs. what we have witnessed with Dahlin in under 200. He’s not worthy of a long term deal at $9m. Way too much risk. I was in line with the evolving wild predictions on AAV.

JC Penney or Hens & Kelly.

Maybe it will be like the time George showed up to work at Rick Barr Properties after he quit and pretended like it never happened.
