Night Train

NFL Combine in Indy going on. Mike (Francesa) and the Mad Dog ( Chris Russo ) pretty much launched talk radio In NYC years back and now thoudands of markets try the same thing. The shows are too long and much of it is talking about personal nonsense the listeners have no interest in. Filler. The hockey show with Biron and Duff on MSG is an hour and even they struggle to fill it, although they seem very in tune with all NHL teams. These 3-4 hour radio shows are terrible and unfocused babble dominates the majority of the time. Like posters above mentioned, listen to the podcasts that are available everywhere. WGR 550 has a link to many.

That's how I felt about Andy Reid. 14 years in Philly. 1 SB Then KC and taking a chance on Mahomes. Hits the lottery. In todays game, it's ALWAYS the QB. No more Brad Johnson in Tampa or Trent Dilfer in Baltimore winning SB's with huge running games and big D. The obvious shift to the passing era canceled that, IMO. I'm sure he feels a little less confident in his long term stability than the previous couple years. Has a good one at QB and only so much time to advance deep into the playoffs. Fooling himself if he isn't open to some change.

Which is what KA seems to be saying. He does keep talking about monitoring Andersons recovery time after each game he plays as reasoning for playing the other 2.

Hate the call ins. They should submit questions and have the on-air guys respond. The second a caller is on, I switch off. Waste of air time.

Go Sabres ! Cromrie in Goal ?

His underlying metrics haven’t been great the past two seasons. His teams have allowed 58 percent of the high-danger scoring chances with him on the ice at five-on-five, according to Natural Stat Trick. But those teams were the Blackhawks and Canucks, two underwhelming defensive teams. Defensive stats are rarely earned by one player. Stillman had better metrics when he played in Florida, and the Sabres are hoping to surround him with better teammates who could bring out that version of him. That's the rest of the Athletic comment. Not just the critical part.

Like many young guys, Peterka has hit a bump. Long term, I still like him and he showed some very promising flashes. Nothing wrong with Rochester and putting on some muscle. Could be a different player next season. A keeper. Kulich needs to grow into his body. Young and doing well at his level. No reason to rush. He's 18.

Nor does anyone else. Yes, he's an insurance policy. A very minor transaction. It's to avoid a D callup from Rochester, . He'll probably be thrown in the lineup at some point to replace someone that is banged up. Meanwhile, they may be trying to do something else. Not hard to figure.

Why don't we wait to hear more from the team before pretending we have knowledge.

Agreed. They need Physical Defensemen that move forwards out of the goal crease and clear the zone.

Several of the resident GM's just went into cardiac arrest.

To each their own but if a trade is made, I personally hope it's for another Defenseman. That's where they are short. Not at Forward, even with Tuch out for a while. Goalie seems like a huge longshot. They'll live with the current situation until the off-season. Sabres are far ahead of where I thought they would be at this juncture. That doesn't mean I'm settling or content with just competing for a playoff spot. I wish to make it with the D improving. JMO.

Victor O is the most obvious trade chip for me. Mits 2nd.

Ct5y6u78i9o0p[-]\67h8ju8i9o0-54321sdfghjkl; Cromrie has to start Tuesday, IMO. No . Our VR goggles are far more fun.

All I'm saying is UPL should be developing in Rochester. I don't hate him. Ullmark was there for 2 1/2 years.

Coming into today UPL in February .856 Save % 5.35 GA So he lowered that today with 4. Anypne got some pig lipstick ?

We get that, since as of today they don't have options unless Cromrie rises from the dead and Andersons starts pick up. It doesn't mean we're any less nervous when he starts. He missed a lot of development time rehabbing. When the Rochester playoffs started last year, he was hurt again.

Come on. I know he's young but Rochester was the plan. Many games they win in spite of him.

Vinnie H sticks. Give Peterka the ticket back to Rochester.

OMG. A win at home. Someone is getting disciplined.

Peterka.

Sabres sell them for $30 in their store.

Betting fights are coming.

Hats galore !
