Second Line Center

This group as constructed can’t play defensive cautious hockey. Needs to be pedal to medal all game.

And the first one back is at 12:30 on a Saturday So stupid. They’ll be fine.

10 days off for a young team is not optimal

The second I knew this kid was special and it was time to clean house and build around him:

Yes. I know them when I see them.

Other then Tage’s health absolutely zero concerns from me. No shame losing to that team and I thought it was pretty even after 1 and we didn’t have Tage the 3rd period. That’s the quality of team we want to be and we will. This is going to take a little time and that’s why getting into the playoffs would be huge. But man the East. Friggin OV and Crosby are the 7th and 8th place teams.

We get Carolina on their 3rd game in 4 days - and it’s the second of a back to back for them. They destroyed Boston yesterday - who did play Saturday. Boston went 0-6 on the pp and only 25 shots on goal for the game.

Yep And I thought Joker was one of the 3 best players on the ice last night.

When the Bills season’s have ended the last 4 years there’s been a black hole of sadness for Buffalo fans. The hockey team was a laughingstock and meaningful games in February and March meant draft position. Not anymore. This team hasn’t been relevant relevant since 2007. It hasn’t been consistently good since 1995-2002. I am blown away by what’s being built here. They’re so young. So talented. So well coached. We’re playing meaningful hockey in the spring. And we have the pieces being stacked to start getting to June. This core looks light years BETTER then those 90s and mid 2000s teams.

Finish these F***s

You’re welcome y’all it worked

Hellebuyck. We ain’t scoring.

Caps up 2-1 on Pens 12 mins left. Scoreboard watching in February woooo hooooooo!!!!

I’ve already seen enough of Hellebuyck

Are we playing the Capitals? Coyotes? Blue Jackets?

God I love Cozens.

Woooo hooooo!!!

The main incentive now is that the larger the market - the higher cost for your PSLs and tickets overall. You can analyze how much more successful the Raiders relocation to Vegas has been compared to the Chargers move to L.A here: https://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/2022/8/23/23318966/value-of-chargers-move-to-la-2022-update We can check how things have changed now that the 2022 article is published. 1. In 2022, the Chargers rank #20 with assessed value of $3.875B. So they have moved up 1 spot since 2016. 2. The average assessed value of NFL franchises in 2022 was $4.47B, an average increase of $2.13B (91%) since 2016. The Chargers value has increased by "just" $1.795B (86%). Continuing their trend of growing at a below average rate since the move. 3. Meanwhile, the Raiders value is up to $5.1B, which ranks #9. Since 2016, that franchise value has increased by $3B (143%).

When I said “truly ridiculous” I was talking about the idea of the Bills lease and potentially leaving within the next 15 years. I have no issue with anyone that would like to know what is going on with Kim - I mean for real we all just want to hear she is going to be ok and not hearing anything is discouraging but if we take her daughter’s word she is better - but the author to me is going to unnecessary lengths and reaches just to say “what’s going on with Kim and what’s the succession plan with team?” Which of course are things no one may know for quite some time. But he got his clicks.

The author asks: Are there examples of real ironclad leases from around the league that should be considered for our stadium here? How is the Bills ownership structured? Do Terry and Kim own the team 50-50? Are the kids involved? Do the Pegulas have a succession plan in place and, if so, what is it? What kind of shape are Terry – and especially, Kim – really in and what is their prognosis for the long term? I truly believe the kids are in the long term plans. This is what happened to the Chargers when Alex Spanos died. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/10/09/spanos-family-wont-need-to-sell-due-to-estate-taxes/amp/ Now, will the kids move the team? Why in the world would you build the stadium we are and in say 15 years, move? Just no way. The new stadium was what the owners wanted. They wanted the Bills to stay. There are other options to handle the estate tax - which I’m sure have been addressed by the Pegula’s. After 30 years, we can have this conversation. They aren’t going anywhere. And - with the league now going to streaming - how important are local ratings/TV Market going to be especially when you have fans all over the country. This is truly all ridiculous. Sounds like a guy that just wants to know things he doesn’t need to know - if there were glitches or problems this stadium would be put on hold or something. We see no indication of that.

Still 5 points out with the Pens Caps Isles all very meh right now to. Probably needed one more lull before a run in the 2nd half. They aren’t good enough to play at a 110 point pace. But 95 might squeak in.

7 points the last 8 games for Tage …. but 4 of them in one game. Scored against Boston and Washington. We go as he goes.
