Broken Ankles

It’s a little early here on the left, but ummm...ok.

He did score 45 points in 2017-2018 after his injury. I would no longer expect 60+ with his age and the injury but he looks worse than last year and scoring at a slower pace. In fact I think it’s completely fair to ask why E-rod, KO, Girgs and Vesey are not producing. Rodrigues had 29 last year and has 1 assist this year. Vesey is a perennial 15 goal guy with zero. KO Andy Vlad are on the wrong side of 30 so you can expect some decline, but the others (and throw Sheary in this mix) are in their prime and I expect growth. Instead it’s a regression to the lean.

And I bet “he no like vegetals” either......I cannot believe I read the entire history of that meme.

Nor would they make that trade if they did. We need a top 6, so probably should trade all three for Ehlers, however no way does EDM trade Puljujarvi and Chiasson for Sheary and Scandella. I love a Sweet Lou trade idea but in this three way (as it is in real life), one party leaves unsatisfied.

I voted yes too. For same reasons. Love the Seinfeld reference. Both episodes (Contest and Virgin) are top notch. oo many clips on YouTube between them, you really need to watch the entire episode.

Are you sure it was not intended to be written like this? ? I've heard it has a greater impact like that. p.s. Thank you for introducing me to 'aggrandizement' - I had to look it up @ Merriam-Webster.

Risk/reward. If you tell me second + can help us break a playoff drought I’m in. I can’t see that happening with Vlad on FL#2 this year. Nothing says you cannot make a second trade, for a player with term.

Midnight toking aside, a lapse in judgement. ? Thank you. I acknowledge the Senator from NY. I stand behind my statement about the low chance of his trade or that he should be traded.

Does Rodrigues qualify as a second tier prospect? If so I’m in.

There is almost no chance of this. None. When was the last time a GM trade for a player (with term) and then shipped out after 3 months? I’m guessing maybe never. I see Ristolainen, McCabe, Scandella, and Bogo traded this season, but not Miller. Miller actually should get a chance on the second PP after Risto gets traded. Put two defense and only three forwards. Miller has an above average point shot and Mountour can skate and pass better than most on the second grouping. Makes no sense to try and have them set up the same way the first grouping does. Change the strategy to fit the players on the ice.

You forgot Vlad and Hunwick.

Matt Ellis joined Tara Slone during the second intermission of Hockey Night in Canada. Celebrating with Danny Paille and some other Tiger Cats at a local bar as Rogers Hometown hockey tour rolls through. So for this I give you.....Welland Ontario, the Matt Ellis of cities in Canada.

1.) Ehlers - (preferred, but not likely) 2.) Tage (After Christmas) 3.) Sheary

Against the Islanders. Don’t remember but Elliotte Friedman wrote about it after the game in Saskatchewan. I guess the turnout was below expectations.

I assume you mean this...10 games in 17 days. This is great news for the fans, but three back to backs could impact the results. Interesting to see how Ralph addresses this "Load Management". Will our 30+ players get a night off on these? I'd like to see it. Keep guys like KO and Vlad as health scratch. Give guys like Lazar a chance to play.

South or West of the 405 (aka OJ ?) Freeway is how I determine if your coastal. Vegas misses by a few miles.

Another interesting element to his Business Model is while these clothes are "extremely over-priced", if you return the items you are unsatisfied with, you are refunded 1/3 the replacement value (annualized of course). And while there "seems" to be a higher level of quality with the manufacturing, with an expected lifespan of 6 years, most people are returning after three years.

Come on Brawndo, you know that Joker is just riding the coattails of Marco, the analytics darling of 2019. Let’s see some evolving Xg charts to prove it. ?

My 80 year old father often texts....(too often in the last few years)..."Did you watch the Sabres game yet? Don't bother". As you might guess, he is Live Only for all sporting events. He will acquiesce when visiting his West Coast family, but it destroys him inside.

+1. Especially baseball games, which are taking 4 hours these days making them almost unwatchable.

Just curious. Where do you stand on watching the Sabres? I’ve seen comments under the Game day thread alluding to being late for a game and catching only the last period. Why not record and watch the game in it’s entirety? As a left coaster for about half my life I rely on recording eastern time zone games and watching after work. I know not everyone has traditional cable, and streaming has limitations but if you do have a DVR option, do you use it?

Well, Vlad looks equally disconnected as before. But at least it’s on the third line so I cannot complain. Sorry but cannot say Dahlin is good tonight. A few mistakes and no points, and he let the puck escape the zone on the PP. Montour yes, and considering it’s his first period of play that is something we should be excited about.

Must win. The ugly kind is also acceptable. Another blowout will begin the Paper Tiger 2.0 conversations.
