Porous Five Hole

The fans dislike the team. The team dislikes the fans. Not winning anytime soon. Just a sad money pit.

The bolded, I’m learning that’s not how it works. In this thread, I learned that “we” pay their salaries. So how dare they? I learned that the players are being woke snowflakes. That Kyle is a dipsh*t with an endgame to harm the team. And the players are effing idiots. It appears whatever was left of the rational fanbase has finally hit their breaking point.

Whether you care about the salute or not this team seems to be in an awful place mentally.

You’re correct that it doesn’t indicate 11/7, but don’t be surprised if it happens during Power’s absence. The Sabres are still protecting RoJo’s minutes and running Henri out there 24 minutes a night isn’t going to do anyone any good.

This smells like we are going back to 11/7

Sam Roberts Band at Town Ballroom tonight!

The new Pearl Jam track is out.

Power play looked better for a solid minute. Couldn’t cash tho.

The prices of parts and labor for vehicle repairs is absurd. The posted labor rate at the West Herr in ROC is $150/hour. Add in a control arm at $545, another $180 on parts for oil gaskets (oil cooler gasket and upper & lower intake gaskets), an oil change, a tire rotation, a state inspection, an alignment, labor & tax…that is $1388. How do people afford this life?? Does everyone just make more money than me haha

A good win on the road for the good guys. Kozak with three points, Levi with 37 saves, and Neuchev scored too.

Now I’m dreaming up ways to make the empty net goal even more spectacular to hurt Morgan Reilly’s feelings. In all alone from the red line, how about a wrap around Michigan goal? That ought to get someone killed lol

Mike Harrington does not have team sources. He is making an educated guess.

From Kevin O (Amerks HOF beat reporter): From Appert’s explanation, part of the thought process obviously is about giving Kulich some time off. Since returning from the World Junior Championship in early January, he has gone 10 games without a goal, the longest stretch of his young career, and hasn’t been all that dangerous in many of those games. “Last year I think he played 110 games between summer World Junior, winter World Junior, our season, rookie camp, training camp, playoffs right to early June,” Appert said. “This year training camp, rookie camp, our season, World Junior. And then the set up for the All-Star Game, you’re set up to crush these guys.” https://pickinsplinters.com/2024/02/09/amerks-squander-early-lead-fall-to-crunch-in-ot/

This is a tough one. I’ve never seen a hit get that much head while also not looking like head hunting. Those spaghetti legs didn’t look good. Hope Acciari is alright.

Perhaps if you actually made a post to explain what your title was about, I could have responded more on topic. My post was not a personal attack on you. If you felt attacked because I pointed out that you name call or insult players, that’s a you problem. Me saying you should reevaluate your relationship to the team was well intended. If you’re not getting what you want or need from the relationship, then do something about it. If this post was you doing just that, then good on ya.

Am I sucker for responding? As a fan, I’m disappointed in the results. I do not dislike the team. Actually, I like these guys. Tage is slumping, but was a human highlight reel the last 1.5 years. I haven’t been this excited over a forward on this team since…ever? I am a little young for Mogilny, but I have some memories. Cozens is a young man who leads by example. Tuch is exactly who I hoped he would be. Ras is a calm guy with a mean streak and plays the right way. JJP & Quinn are very likable. Hard to dislike Okposo. I root for Krebs. Skinner can be frustrating to watch, but dang he’s likable. He moans at the opponent, acts petulant, and then hosts Between 2 Stalls. So yea, the results aren't acceptable. And I don’t hate them for it. And I am not going to call anyone dumb (like you have in the past). I really think you need to reevaluate your relationship with this team. If I am feeding a troll post, I apologize.

Upvoted Not Because Girl, But Because It Is Very Cool; However, I Do Concede That I Initially Clicked Because Girl.

Seth Appert was on Sabres Live last Friday and it sounded like Rousek was the most “deserving” because he’s “earning it” right now. Maybe not exactly quoted, but that was the message. He left room for Kulich saying while he’s slumping, he’s also working hard.

I think the folks who were suggesting ankle sprain are on the right track

Stillman isn’t a realistic option. He’s been pretty bad in Rochester.

My high school was the Rangers and we rolled with the ranger bear.

That’s fair. I like the chances. If the chicken head man can predict a Mitts trade would be ‘one of the worst trades ever,’ I predict Levi will be a stud, Kulich will be a 25 goal scorer who won’t suck defensively, and the deal will be well worth it.

The Rangers are shopping Kakko. He’s near elite defensively and a bottom six role with potential middle six upside. A change of scenery may do him well and we don’t have any excellent defensive forwards. Upcoming RFA and 2.1MM. Rangers could use the cap space for their playoff run (Filip Chytil done for the year and they need cap to find a top six trade partner). I would take Kakko as a low cost experiment.

My initial reaction to that is the Reino trade worked. If the Sabres were going to roll with Jack, they would have held onto Reino. But that wasn’t going to happen. Reino would have been miserable here after the Eichel reset. The return of Kulich & Levi appears to be a nice deal for us. I think Levi is going to be a stud one day. The Mitts deal just cannot be for futures. Mitts and a future for a top 4D.
