I never made a blanket statement, I said they "can" snap, I blanket statement might be they "do" snap, or they "will" snap. The one that bit me snapped. It was unprovoked, and I was introduced to it 5 minutes prior in his garage, with the owner there, and the dog let me pet him and it smelled me. Again, I am used to Pit Bulls from my sons dog, which I have experience with. We went into the yard and it snapped, it immediately attacked and it defied the owners command. I was there. I have the wounds to prove it. To say a pit bull is not naturally violent is a blanket statement that it is very misleading and not back by statistics. The highest percentage of dog attacks in the US are by pit bulls, and the large majority of the victims are family members, not strangers. That gives a little credence to my comments. Your comment on properly raising one is interesting. How about properly bred? How much of this problem with pit bulls is do to bad breeding? If you need a guard dog for a home or business they will get the job done. I will never have one and now I will never go near one, but some people, like my son who also owns one, can manage them.

No. Usually its the owner but those dogs can snap, even when the owner does everything correctly that he can. The breeding over the past decades has been a problem. The animal is flawed. I just got bit by one last week. The owner told me it was ok to go into the yard, I was reluctant to and I said no two times. Still he insisted that it was ok with him there. I am lucky the owner was in front of me to block its all out attack. Still, he bit my arm (that I instinctively used as a shield) and he left deep flesh wounds. Thankfully he did not get hold of my arm and clamp down on it. It was the fault of the owner but that dog is a terrible pet that is a huge liability and does not belong in the suburbs. He will attack everything in his sight if he gets loose. I can still see his crazed eyes looking at me after the attack. He had his lower jaw jutted and he was freaking out, even with the owner standing there holding him. I want to go back and bash his head in with a baseball bat. Yes, I am angry and this injury hurts. BTW, my son has had one for 10 years and no problems, but the dog is a pain to deal with. I used to watch his Pit Bull when he was a puppy but over time the dog has forgotten who I am. I cannot enter my sons house without him in there and handling him. You have to be careful around him. You cannot go into my sons bedroom, ever. You can't touch my son the wrong way. To be honest, I really cant wait for that dog to die. My son will be devastated for awhile but the rest of the family will be relieved. I will able to go to his house and relax, help him fix things, spend more time together, and not have to worry about the dam dog. The dog is always guarding that house. The Pit Bull is the worst choice you can make for a pet. They are watch dogs, not pets. Statistics don't lie. The breed has been ruined by bad people who bred the dog to fight. I will never get near one again unless I have a bat or a gun. I will never trust one ever again. I am lucky to have a functional arm.

Yes. I get called "boss" or "dude" or something similar by young people on occasion. I don't like being called "dog". I was called that once and I corrected the young man. Typically I don't say a thing if I sense they are just being friendly or polite. It is on parents to teach their kids how to address elders and how to show respect, otherwise they learn it from other places or they don't learn it at all.

I don't have this kind of neighbor, but I tend to have disdain towards slobs who do not maintain their property or themselves. Especially when the they have the wealth and resources to do so.

Pit Bulls. 😠

They were both second overall, not that it matters.

The last two teams I wanted to see win the Cup are in the finals. I am going for Florida with Reinhart and Montour. Seeing Vegas/Eichel win it would be a terrible outcome.

After watching and listening to his interview I think the author embellished the article. "We had a long road trip and we didn’t go through the best places on Earth,” said a smirking Ullmark to NESN during some postgame comments. The only issue to me is who is he to judge other cities? It sounds more like the Boston media embellishing and taking shots.

When you drive with me you wear a seatbelt. No matter what seat your in.

No one knows the real reason he held off signing once the ncaa season ended. He starts with a clean slate to me. We need defensive prospects in Rochester, we just got another one with Johnson.

My recollection is that LaFontaine hired Nolan, then he hired Murray. LaFontaine was out of town for the Ryan Miller trade, something he was against doing. His tear down was not supposed to be a complete and total tear down like Murray did, which was to get rid of every player that ever cared about wearing the Sabres sweater.

He has that knack for being in position, you really can’t teach it, it’s an awareness, an anticipation, hockey smarts.

We could still retain ZG. I just think he might get a better offer term wise somewhere else.

My point was that Buffalo cannot by evaluated as a poor market by its attendance and revenues without looking at the product. Especially when it had 40 prior years, many of which it was a hotbed fir hockey. Your question is a good one. I consider the team’s performance, the arena, the production experience, concessions - that’s all the product. The owner is responsible for that.

I mention Kyle being platooned. Keeps him fresher, gives ice to someone like Rousek or Jost. As for the concussion comment, Kyle knows the risks his is taking. I trust that Adams and DG understand if this group still needs him. Let’s hope Kyle stays healthy and productive, and the team makes the playoffs. That will be another positive step for the organization in culture setting.

New avatar? Hopefully just an off season message. Bring back Rick. The mischievous pose fits you. .

Put the Sabres teams of the last decade in Florida, Tampa, Dallas, Az, Anaheim, Carolina, and those franchises would have folded. It’s amazing that Buffalo draws anything given the Pegula Era of hockey.

No but the guy who traded Tkachuk got fired. Calgary expected to play the same style game with Huberdeau in place of Tkachuk.

I think KO is a good signing but I expect he will be platooned a lot this season to keep him fresh as the season progresses. There are numerous claims in several threads that the Sabres would start the season with 3 or 4 more rookies. Signing Kyle makes these fantasies hard to reach. I think Zemgus could get an offer that we won’t match. I also think Olofsson will be traded. That will open up one or two slots for a rookie to crack. If we lose Z we need another bottom 6 vet imo, last I checked our PK was the dregs.

So, you are saying Okposo was the reason we didn’t make the playoffs? All the captain had to do is cheer on the team huh? Everything that went wrong was because the captain didn’t lead them out of it? There is so much wrong with this.

Florida will be a pain to play against for awhile.

Florida looking strong to finish the Cains. edit. Then again maybe not

I agree with your take on how you evaluated Eichel. I will add that had Eichel gone to another team in an early rebuilding state he might still look like Buffalo Jack. Vegas Jack benefits greatly from the veteran leadership on that team.

This team has the potential to be very good for a long time if they can develop and manage the talent properly. They are loaded.

Domi is a felon and Hague appears to be a pacifist. It could be for me too.
