Global Warming? Never heard of it......

Sports doesn't belong in polotics. Politics don't belong in sports. One is entertainment value, the other is a very serious subject matter. After all, in the course of my lifetime (47 years), I've truly enjoyed the improv standup routines of Reagan (definitely the last of the clean comedy from the greatest generation), Clinton (how could you not love the "I did not have sex with that woman" skit), Both Bush's fell like a dry Dennis Miller routine, the audiences sat speechless either trying to read lips or throwing the occasional slipper at them. Obama, yea, he had that improv mojo, but you just knew like the rest of them, His stories had the same "you know I'm just bullshitting" closing one liners. Then there's this walking cheeto as some call him. Not a fan of his stage entrance and opening act, but, his material has actually surprised me. I'll give him a pass until the closing act. On a side note, he's definitely tapped into a new online audience like no one I've seen before. If nothing else. Now, on to the serious subjects, for us here in Buffalo It's hockey and football ........so how bout them Bills eh.....

Yes, yes I do need to hear from Terry about that 2.5 million dollar retirement loan I wrote to him about, 27 times. Hey Terry, I'd like to retire, where's my money?

I tend to agree

I'm right with you.

Long before I joined, I have read your posts PA.My family lineage would fascinate you I am sure. Given your posts. A great deal of persecution and suffering. That is a conversation we can have in a private setting, if you wish. One side of my existence is from Centre County, PA. Indeed, a majority of the line of succession is there. You help who you can, trust in providence and have faith for the rest.

Based on strength of schedule, opponents injury history, historic records, I'll go a solid 9-7 with a slight possibility of 8-8, depending on talent infusion. Oh, if your going to "hunt me down" I'd prefer you wear fishnet stockings. And please, shave your legs INCLUDING THE ANKLES!!! Thanks.

Poor Leher my ass. The guy can't perform in clutch situations, be it 45 or 25 shots. It is what it is man, he's no good in 3 on 3/ 3 on 4 situations and shootouts. Stop defending him, s5art seeing the larger picture.

Meh, its what I expected.

Wonder if they're showcasing him for a Pitt swap

Camera view is better. About what I expected except I thought the Kane high stick should have been 4. Maybe I'm wrong, but at least I can see the game now. GO SABRES!!!

It really can be truly amazing what humanity can do when we apply ourselves to bring joy to one another. Truly. Oh, and here's to a Happy New Year to all. God Bless.

They shouldn't trade up. Trade down? Maybe, if they can get two 2nd rounders out of it. They should draft O-line, Linebackers and D-line with those five 1st three rd picks. Start filling in the trenches and building a team for that future QB. Sign Cousins.

Holy . Baltimore gets Buffaloed by Vinci.......love it :D

Could be. But that cap relief affords them options. Maybe tweak the deal with an addotion from Buffalo, but nothing heavy. I would think it would entice them.

Mitts

:D Guhle will supplant him next season anyways. Girgs a casualty of need for Pitt. I'd re-sign Cole, I like his heavy game. Let Hagelin and Sheary ride out their contracts while ELC's and low cost bridge contracts run along the same time frame. Hey, I'd pawn Bogo if I knew they'd take him. Or Pommers for that matter.

Kane 5.25 ufa (2.625 @ 50% retained) McCabe 1.60 1yr rfa Girgensons 1.60 1yr rfa Baptiste To Pittsburgh for Hagelin 4 1yr Sheary 3 2yr Cole 2.1 ufa Sprong Pittsburgh 1st 2018 Kane a part of the large package shake up in Pittsburgh

What do you believe it would take to acquire Patches?

I think he should wear #17

It's obvious, someone showed him the comments in his Sabrespace thread.......

Sprong called up today for Pittsburgh. Showcasing? Maybe But its clear Sheary (2yrs left @ 3m) and Hagilin (1yr left @ 4m) are under performing, and have been for some time now. Combine that with the rumors about Cole (UFA 2.10m), Letang (4yrs @ 7.25m) and JR threatening he's considering a major shake up, especially with a potential 3rd cup run now in what appears to be some mid-season trouble, especially given Geno's and Sid's window is right now, I can see a deal with Buffalo for Kane and some other components being very possible. So in essence, Hagilin, Sheary, Cole, Letang and perhaps Sprong and Pittsburgh's 1st or 2nd could all be on the table. Given the possibilities with all the variables in potential play on the Pittsburgh, I'm paying attention to the scouting seats at Pitt games. In the mean time, no harm in trying to play arm chair GM for a few days, discuss.

Botterill should trade Lehner before the enivitable overtime

What a game. Froze our ass's off but man, was it worth it. There was a large group of Canadians all around us, great folks, great hockey fans. After USA's 2nd goal, one guy said "every time that Middlestadt touches the puck it scares me. He's just that good". A number of the Canadian fans around us were Toronto fans. They were all saying how scary it was that Buffalo has this young talent. They were even talking about our Swedish players with praise and envy. It felt good. Oh, and Casey, yea, he's something special. Go Sabres!!!

I wouldn't mind re-uniting Reinhart with Duclair and Domi. They had solid chemistry as a line at their wjc appearance.
