  1. New Starters. Bedford at CB, Torrence at G, Bernard at LB.
  2. Upside and hopefully puts in the work. He could be a keeper. Should be offered a bridge deal soon.
  3. Joe Daley. I saw him play vs. Minnesota and HOF goalie Gump Worsley in the first month of the season in 1970. Neither goalie wore a mask. Sat in row 1 in the corner next to the goal. Worsley got hit in the face. Bled. Went to the bench. Some smelling salts and vasoline. Right back in the net.
  4. The Eddie Shack pic will always be the best for this old timer.
  5. I thought his issue was getting healthy, from what I remember reading. We'll see but he's interesting to me. I get he's not assured of anything yet. I like competition.
  6. I'll be interested to see if another team has a situation in camp where they have 3 goalies they like and 1 needs a new team to get a shot. I'm sure KA and the scouts will be watching.
  7. My only issue with VO is if he misses, Kerbs has to get back quickly and play D for 2 players, since Vo is All-Float.
  8. Standard Girg 4th checking line. Penalty kills. 10 goals. I have zero issues with his role.
  9. Agreed It all depends who splits time with him and how they play. Don't overwork him because the #2 G plays poorly. Replace #2.
  10. No arguments but I wish Krebs could get good scoring types as wingers. His hustle and passing ability would help a couple snipers.
  11. The rosters biggest enigma. I want to put my arms around him so often and give him the benefit of the doubt. Yet so often, he looks to make a good play and loses control of the puck or fans on a shot. Struggles with poise and seems like a nervous wreck. Yet other times, he hustles and throws a nice pass in front of the net. Always seems to be fighting himself. I do NOT dislike him but cannot figure what version of him I'm getting for long stretches.
  12. RIP Jimmy Buffett https://www.newsnationnow.com/entertainment-news/ap-margaritaville-singer-jimmy-buffett-who-turned-beach-bum-life-into-an-empire-dies-at-76/
  13. 2 guys who lay out every shift and never float are Skinner and Krebs. Always appreciate non-stop hustle.
  14. The employees at Nearby Perrys Ice Cream are being offered mental health counseling as a result of this traumatic tagedy.
  15. I retired from a major car company. The industry is putting out poor quality vehicles while overcharging the public. Integrity went down the tubes once Covid hit and they lost money. Let China hold them hostage on chips. Bad 3,rd party parts.,A disgrace as a whole.New car inventory is so low. I would check reviews on Edmunds before buying anything. Not KBB . Consumers is only good for used cars and their repair records. I wouldn't buy a thing from my former company. I know which cars last .
  16. A seat in the pressbox with a " Defense For Dummies " book to read in between periods.
  17. Ottawa and Detroit make A LOT of name signings, it seems. They went" win now" last year and failed. Looks like rinse-repeat.
  18. Actually I'm fine with it and was making a joke,which I do often. Cannot help if you took it to heart. I watch volleyball on BTN often. I attended a certain school in Columbus.
  19. So the Nebraska womens volleyball team plays interstate Omaha at the football stadium and 92,003 show up. I guess the corn fields were cleared and there was nothing else to do.
  20. I get the post season issue last year... but 13-3 was our regular season record. No narrative there. Draft + Vet FA + giving a specific core good contracts to stay. I'm hoping for 11 wins and a post season spot with a far more difficult schedule. Keeping it real. Sure beats those roughly 20 years of nothing. I'm sure if the Sabres take another step forward and start losing in the 1st ,2nd round of the playoffs, we'll read many calling to clean out the front office with some world class chest beating.
  21. I saw that yesterday. I have pointed out before how well he digs the puck out and hits his mates with perfect passes in front of the net. Putting him on a 4th line with Girgs and KO is a waste. He can garner a lot of assists with some better players around him. Hustles every shift.
  22. He will do great...followed by many posters saying we now cannot afford his new deal and must be traded for picks.
  23. Bernard was drafted to be the backup to Milano, who has an injury history. Straight from McDermott and Beane. He's supposed to be back in uniform this week, according to Beane yesterday. Rookie Williams is looking to be the other LB eventually while Dotson plays. Where did Klein starting come from ?? He was playing in the 4th Q yesterday and might be cut in the next 48 hours. Many times, Milano is the only LB on the field while Neal comes in for coverage as an in the box safety or extra CB. The Bills lost little to nothing when Edmunds left. He had straight ahead speed but zero recognition skills and couldn't cover his shadow. Can't belive Bears gave him that $$. That was a mistake. I've been worried about the OL for 50 + years, so that's nothing new. Maybe backup QB but the seaons done if your starter goes down anyhow. Not worried about WR, TE, RB. On D, not worried about DL and Secondary. Seems more than set at all those positions. Good depth. A fanbase is always concerned about their own team. I get that.
