Night Train

They have a mantle at home with 45 participation trophies.

God...Power blows..

OMG..a lead !

Something like 64 less goals than last year..no heart many nights.. God...get some forwards with grit..No more false sales jobs..

In November, I was answering Yes.

I hope moves are made. Initial projections above are another 80-90 point no playoff year. The commitment to mediocrity must end.

Usual prep of soundscape mood music and gentle spa treatments . Has them ready to go.

Really on both. Preparation. A soft lotion and down feather pillows need to be eliminated from the pre-game warmup.

2 people sent me that in messaging yesterday. Speaks for itself. No leadership. Soft.

Woke up to sun, north of Buffalo. Now very overcast. Almost looks like rain. 75%-80% cloud coverage forecast. Might have a little clearing. Whatever. Trying to distract us from our failing hockey team isn't working. 😉

Not with ticket $

Old English 40's can hit you fast.

1 point short. Then they'll sell " Run It Back ! " shirts at the Sabres store.

Alex O is 8th all-time in goals per game. Bossy and Lemieux are 1-2. Austin Matthews is 5th.

Diiggs had his stats early when the Bills were a .500 team. Once they got rolling late with that win streak, it was Kincaid, Shakir, Cook and others. Balance. No one could be keyed on. Kudos to Brady and his play calling that wasn't all about Diggs. Now adding Samuel, some other depth and no doubt a draft choice or 2 at the position. No panic at all in my view. Allen is the Alpha. Media is playing every angle for clicks. Whatever.

I never base raw numbers on who is the greatest in any sport. There is only one Gretzky. Watching him in his prime left little doubt on who is the greatest ever.

I find it funny that the above thoughts are 2-3 year bridge $. Yet they give underachieving/turnover prone Power a huge deal way too early. UPL is our MVP. Yes, use caution on overpaying anyone but he's the only one trying many nights.

Brown was healthy last year after 2 injury prone years. We'll see what the Bills do. Collins rehabbed last year after his injury on the Dallas PS. I think he's more than a camp body. I'll watch what Beane does. He thinks ahead most times. 5 months until games. Depends on what the contract terms are for Brown.

Interesting signing yesterday of 30 year old RT La'el Collins, who has started a lot of NFL games. Spencer Brown looking for a large raise with his rookie deal expiring after 2024. Just me speculating but wonder if Brown could now be dealt. Can't pay everyone. Maybe get something for him now. (Draft pick) Rousseau due a raise after 2024 and CB Douglas needs a new deal. Douglas is priority one, since they traded for him and he's very good at a key position. Rousseau and Brown, not so sure. Rousseau is playing for his future here if he's expecting a big raise. Needs to break out in 2024.
