Late round pick. Late bloomer. Hobey Baker winner ...?

Cody Eakin and John Hayden can't stay, regardless of culture
That Aud Smell replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
I have enjoyed hearing national announcers -- from both ESPN and TSN -- refer to John Hayden as "Big John Hayden." But beyond that - he can go, for sure. -
Is Don Granato the best coach the Sabres have had since Lindy Ruff?

@dudacek trust the process? 😲 -

I think this plays here. And I think that's a smart approach. By its nature, creating offence (and scoring goals) in highly competitive environments requires so much initiative, imagination, skill, technique (and an emphasis on the latter - technique in that final third is so difficult to attain) that you must focus there first. Defence, by comparison, is more reactive and also more straightforward in terms of how it gets done. I actually think that the biggest trick with teaching defence is teaching how it best transitions to ... offence. -

I thought this was a great post. I was going to reply to a number of things in it, but then they became too numerous. Just solid takes. I don't even necessarily agree with all of them -- but I nonetheless think this is a fair and fairly comprehensive assessment of who and what HCDG is and what the Sabres are under him -- for now. Upthread, it was discussed how DG is intentionally making the team play fast and free in order to get them to understand what it takes to create offence in the NHL, which he posits is the hardest thing to teach at this level. My inference has been: The other stuff comes later (hopefully not too much later). Fair deuce here as well. I'm not sure I'd call what they're doing fire wagon hockey. I think the plan is for the d-game to improve on a timeline that's different than the offence's development. I think. We'll see. -
I like the McKissic signing - addresses a need with a good player. I saw someone Tweet that the Bills' are free agent shopping at Aldi's. I think it was meant as a jab, but I'm not so sure it plays that way. If you go to Aldi's for the correct stuff, you get great value.

Btw, Tim Graham can suck it. Far from being imminently announced, the stadium deal announcement is evidently being embargoed so that (downstate) detractors don’t have much time to criticize it before it gets passed with the rest of the budget.

I know the song. And it's my favourite beer! But please to explain. Will you change the title of the thread? My suggestion: Is Dahlin a Grown Ass Man?

Is Cozens dumb?

Dahlin is clearly an idiot.

^ Saffold looks to be an improvement at guard. Former pro bowler. Sorta old.

Lord help us. (What restaurant was that, btw - was it the infamous Beef n Barrel?) More (?) seriously: It was cool that he was there talking with Cozens after the dust up. -
I have a wee giddy premonition that this season won’t go well for Brady. How great would that be?

Fantastic game. Dahlin’s a grown ass man. And watch the hell out when Cozens becomes one as well. I’m glad I got the Canadian feed. Oh, and Terry in a varsity jacket sighting!! I’ll cruise the thread later today, with any luck. -

I’m still not really following what’s going on here. The connect the dot sequence is probably immaterial. I trust that the puzzle ends with the Pegulas being earth-rapers who are ruining the Sabres. -

Why you taking a sh-t on Ukrakne? And who’s in here defending the Pegulas? -

Also just realized: This is from Store 716, not 26 Shirts (Del Reid) — as I’d thought. I’m a bit less intrigued by this post as a result. -

They don’t borrow images or likenesses. I agree to an extent, but it’s telling that errr one else was good with these shirts (“Fred Ex” was a great one). Just not Eichel. -
