That Aud Smell

And take THAT, ChatGPT!

This Tage's wonky back stuff is making my arse pucker.

@Taro T this Tweet contributed to my confusion. I generally like this guy, but I think this content is imprecise. He was doing a lot of back filling in the replies.

This is reductionist.

Huh. I think maybe I thought that Hextall was the bozo who gave up a 1st for Ristolainen (sp?). Not so, it turns out. He gave out that big contract to JvR, right? I'll laugh at him for that.

I'd prefer Hextall stay in the east so as to diminish the playoff competition that the Sabres face.

I did call it a reclamation project.

I don't totally disagree with the UPL Reclamation Project. I can't tell whether it's a lack of essential instincts or a matter of lost confidence, but there were stretches of play this year where, in watching him, I just kept thinking to myself "he looks like he doesn't expect to stop the puck." And then Levi showed up and I was like "yuh, that's what it looks like when the goalie expects to stop the puck."

Man, I will be watching those games for sure if their roster ends up Quinn and/or Peterka. I'll probably watch a game here or there regardless, actually.

why is there such a long wait for the AHL playoffs to start?

It’s funny. And he may go again tonight. But nfw that’s real.

Haha - I read that phrase and recalled Lindy's admitted direction to his bench after Neal gooned Drury.

Sounds like he cribbed the same beat that Mariah Carey's producer did for "Fantasy." I can't recall offhand whose song created the original. I will Google it later, if I think to do it.

I mostly agreed with everything in this post. My only tweak would be that, in connection with a solid NHL vet coming in on a 2-year deal, I'd like to see Levi penciled in for ~35 games next season (2023-2024) and then see that ratio flip by the following year (2024-2025) such that Levi is then taking ~50 games by that time.

I get reflexively underdog-Buffalo when I see Anderson Cooper — he of the Vanderbilt aristocracy — tittering about Dyngus Day. I react to it as if the worst sort of Nichols grad from East Aurora (perhaps a Knox?) had been given a national platform to laugh at a festival cherished by working class types. Which is to say: That clip mostly makes me want to slap that elitist turd in the face — and not with a ***** willow either — but with something … larger and stiffer. (I said what I said.)

I misread this post initially and was maybe a teensy miffed. Then I saw this and read the post again. Ha. I might have played hooky to (responsibly) enjoy some Dyngus Day festivities. Not great for reading comprehension.

Ahh. Okay. Still.

Why is there a “watch” for this guy? Also: Is this the same player that was previously discussed - some months ago - as a prospect who would presumably not want to sign here?

That’s as good a win as they’ve had this season. Bonus points that it was a home win in the royal blues. Also! A blessed return to @deluca67 .500

Carolina is a funking wagon, man.

No need to mistake being dominated by a superior opponent for lack of effort.

I missed the update: What’s with Cozens centering Thompson?

Every time I’ve watched this Sabres team play Carolina, it’s looked like a total mismatch. I’m hoping that the Sabres can find another level to their game today.

Oh, Lindy.
