Hockey preseason is just weird

Most important thing is nobody gets injured. Would expect the other team to come hard all game long as they are wanting to show they can play and compete against NHL players. It's their Stanley Cup

Outshot Sens 41-16, they definitely deserved the win and probably by a lot more than it ended up being by.

What's there to be impressed about? It was a bunch of AHL players on both sides. The entire Sabres team is over in Germany. They won, it's better than losing. Would have been "more impressed" if they lost?

Lindy is going to whip these dude into shape and get them galvanized

The Butler

The Bills are the 2nd most winning team in all of the 4 major sports over the last 5 seasons...but yeah... that's "nothing" I guess.

If he stays healthy, 30+ goals. This dude is the truth.

Aa Pat Garrett once said in Young Guns II: "Not no more, Billy."

Guess he really is going to learn what's out there beyond the corn in the outfield now...

No!!! "Peace, love, dope!! Now get the hell outta here!!"

As well they should be

I don't want dudes who are fading out age wise still being paid like they are 26. The quickest way to obscurity for any sports team is to pay for past performance with players past their prime instead of letting them go. And paying those players for a team like us isn't smart, IMHO.

Never hockey, but was a huge baseball card collector and also football for a while.

Cyclists should realizw that using American streets to ride on is akin to playing Russian Roulette with your life. If you want to safely cycle on streets then move to the Netherlands where half the population's primary transportation mode is bike and roads are designed for them more than cars. Plenty of places to ride where cars aren't allowed, suggest you ride there. It sucks, but American roads aren't designed for bikes and American drivers are terrible at avoiding hitting them, both bikes and motorcycles. You can be mad, upset or whatever but at the end of the day your life is more important than riding a bike on the street. Figure out a different transportation mode if you value your life in the US.

Wow! That is crazy! Another reason why I will never ride a bike unless it's in the Netherlands where the bikes are the ones that the roads are made for and cars are the "guests". In America you literally take your life in your hands any time you ride a bike...or motorcycle. RIP

Yeah, we use GitHub Co-Pilot at work daily and honestly there are times I have been trying to get it to help for an hour and then go to stack overflow and I find what I need in like 5 minutes. Always check Stackoverflow now before I ask to see if it's something I can find there first.

AI is good at writing code at times. Mostly boilerplate code and unit tests, etc. The more complex what needs to be coded, the less useful AI will be. In some instances it actually hurts the person using it because it constantly sends them down deep rabbit holes in the wrong direction or gives nonsense code that doesn't do anything like what you requested or to provide.

Lots of stuff in Dutch in Rotterdam

He doesn't have any legal records with them? Sounds like they should.be liable for that.

I'll judge it based on results and not what I think since that is meaningless. IMO, the biggest off-season addition was Lindy Ruff.

Oh yeah.. I guess that's a little excessive.

I always thought is was normal for brakes to squeak a little after replacing due to brake dust, etc having to kinda "wear in" the brake pads

Not sure if this was mentioned somewhere but this kinda hurts if true... "Seravalli asserts that Carolina had agreed to a Necas trade with the Buffalo Sabres. However, Seravalli did admit in the podcast that it may not have been the Sabres but he was fairly certain. The trade broke down relatively quickly as Necas purportedly would not agree to sign a new contract in Buffalo." https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/07/hurricanes-attempted-to-trade-necas-prior-to-extension.html

I grew up on the East Side of Buffalo in a neighborhood where you always had to keep your head on a swivel walking down the street. Still am hyper aware of my surroundings to this day from growing up there and these are the times and situations where it comes in pretty handy.
