Screw him. He was an alkie with the Sabres and blamed them for everything.

You do the opposite.

"At least I'm still getting paid." What are management and the other players thinking?

Yeah I think a guy like Comrie is what we should have expected. Hopefully a late-bloomer who at-worst is a bridge until Levi is ready. I'm not high on UPL but he should get some chances.

Who were we expecting? I heard MAF's name bandied about, but that was a pipe dream.

Where's the fun in that? I get the pessimism angle, because you can only be pleasantly surprised.

What were ever the alternatives? Did anyone think the Sabres would get an elite goalie in the off-season?

Vezina or bust!

Been saying that since he decided not to sign with the Sabres. I hope I'm wrong.

Mine chisels into stone at incredible speed.

Yes. But when making fun of others (i.e. the "you" in the above) and never when talking about myself, much less for something that is easily affordable.

It still doesn't make sense. What would have been funnier is "because we never thought we'd ever need a printer! LOLOLOL!"

You can work at a minimum wage job and still afford a printer. Why his GF had to say "can't afford" is the real question.

There's a difference between not needing a printer and not being able to afford one.

Can't afford a printer? Can they afford food?

Ugh, that was on Levi.

Well, goalie is the most important position in hockey, just like QB is in the NFL. Not surprising there are more posts, especially when he was considered to be a reach. But who is to say he's a reach? is there some master rating guide? Like with QBs, if you think he'll be good, you take him earlier than you otherwise would out of FOMO. Seattle was obviously looking for a goalie and might have taken him just a few picks later, leaving the Sabre without (the-rated top one).

If they had him as a 1st round talent, then they got him at good value. Now the next thing is for him to prove he was worth the pick.

He was drafted 5 years ago. Time to see what he's got in the NHL.

I'd take the drafting of Leinonen as a sign EP isn't going to sign, for reasons I've mentioned. But no matter. UPL is no longer a prospect and it's now-or-never for him. and the guy I'm looking forward to seeing is Levi, who would also be slated to sign next year, if he's going to sign (and I think he will, but until his name is on that contract...) and who was drafted 2 years ago.

I didn't realize this has been the best (post) season for the Amerks since 2004-2005.

WTF? Was she (basically) telling you that this is all scripted?

Actually, it's not.

Rub some ice on it and skate a lap.

Yeah, you're toast.
