Porous Five Hole

The BoSox are a year away. Would be great to slip in the playoffs this season, but next year is when their window really opens.

Canadian friends Finger Eleven in Buffalo at the Town Ballroom on Thursday. Can’t wait!

Came to this thread to look for this exact post from you. Nailed it! I did not think the Jays would still have the best record in the AL, but here they are. Hoping the Sox can hold onto a wild card and get invited to the dance. Gotta sweat it out for eight more games.

I know you’re pessimistic on this team and that’s fair, but it does matter. Are you betting on Lyon to be NHL average and keep this team afloat until UPL is ready? Actually, I just kind of threw up in my mouth a little. Maybe you’re right and it doesn’t matter. For the record, I would roll with Levi and hope he can catch lighting in a bottle. And I know hope isn’t a strategy, but it’s where we are at.

You’re right, my bad. I missed the tab of October 1st & 3rd v Pitt. I did get the season start date correct, so we are still fast approaching 10/9. I have a sneaking suspicion Levi will get first crack over Lyon because that’s what this organization does.

The concerning part is no update to UPL and a timeline. I just started a new thread to discuss. If I am the decision maker, it has to be Levi on opening night….right?

I posted this in the training camp thread, but wanted to talk about where we are. There are only four preseason games and they start Monday. Should we be preparing for Devon Levi to be G1 on opening night? UPL is hurt and not much info is available for a timeline. Lyon is an NHL backup who can get hot. Georgiev is a lotto ticket who was signed as a just in case. Are we here expecting UPL out and Lyon or Levi as a starter? Who owns the crease on Oct 9? It is only 2.5 weeks away. Is Devon the plan?

Serious question. Should we be preparing for Devon Levi to be G1 on opening night? UPL is hurt and not much info is available for a timeline. Lyon is an NHL backup who can get hot. Georgiev is a lotto ticket who was signed as a just in case. Are we here with a just in case mentality? Who owns the crease on Oct 9? It is only 2.5 weeks away. Is Devon the plan?

Unimaginable. Life is not supposed to be this fragile for young people. Not that I needed another reason to root for Ras, but holy smokes I’m keeping him and his fam in my thoughts. I’ll also be donating $26 to his foundation and rooting for both him and Carolina. God speed.

The Fins chance to make a run at a win was dashed with the roughing the kicker penalty in the fourth quarter while it was a tie game. A generation ago if that happened to us, we would have called it a Billsy way to lose a game. I’m still not used to other teams finding ways to lose when the Bills don’t. But I’ll take it!

It might be related that Bills tix are shockingly (but not surprisingly) more expensive this year. The cheapest ticket for week four against the Saints in the upper bowl is $300. Taking my family to this game blows out my ticket budget for a while.

Waratahs, c’mon man, it’s week 2. Please make a transaction so you don’t continue to start Kittle who is on IR. Thank you.

Bruins fan who cosplays as a Sabres fan invents a reason to dump on the team again, and this time before the season even starts! Bravo. 👏👏 Now this was funny.

I get it. But you still have to rely on due process.

Innocent until proven guilty?

Thinking about this, it’s almost like GMKA is gathering an additional dart to throw if UPL washes out again like he did last year. It’s not ideal as UPL is the only real plan the Sabres have. But if he returns to NHL average, this helps out Rochester a lot (Sandstrom as the backup last year was meh at best).

I think they’re loading up for the Amerks to be GOOD. Heck of an offseason for Karmanos. While he did not replace the goals of Murray or Jobst…he beefed up the roster, added a pugilist, upgraded the blue line, and greatly upgraded G2. It’s clearto me Rosen will be waived and hopefully slip back to ROC (I think that’s likely) to join Konsta & Östlund for offensive production. I’m excited!

From memory, the priority is reverse draft order and it is tumbling waivers from there.

I understand not being interested in the promo videos. I will say these hokey videos help my wife become more interested and invested in the players & the team. She didn’t grow up a hockey fan.

A little long, but fun to learn about his family and history.

Obligatory 🖕the Leafs

Apparently machine learning gave the Ravens a 99% chance of winning Never trust the bots 😀

That throw to Palmer with :53 to go was elite. Dropped in like it was a screen pass. JA17 is something else.

Same and I’m so good with it lol

So. Many. Things. Had to go just the way they did for the Bills to win this game. Incredible. The fourth down tip TD. The Ravens not running their normal offense on their last possession. The Ravens punting (I find that defensible, but it has to go that way to be here). Then the Ravens guy made the tackle on Coleman to make it first and goal instead of him scoring and the Ravens get the ball. Not to mention Prater has never run the “fire drill” FG try with the team and everyone executes. Wild. The Bills have never come back from down 15 in the 4th quarter in the entire 52 year existence of that stadium.
