Got tickets for Alison Krauss and Union Station this Saturday.
Great show. The beauty of this band is that it's not just Alison Krauss singing with a backup band. Union Station has some top flight multi-instrumentalists who all stole the show at some point. And Alison doesn't always sing lead. Male lead is sung by Russell Moore, who is actually new with the band, replacing Dan Tyminski. They sound very similar to each other; Tyminski sang Man of Constant Sorrow for the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack, to give you an idea of this voice. And Jerry Douglas plays dobro; amazing talent. And on some songs they all sang harmony and it's hard to believe how tight they were live.
I know they are country/bluegrass, but some of their song hit as hard as any heavy metal.

Aww hell. We get loose cows in my hood.
Do you live in a city with over a million people? That's the crazy thing- it's like if people kept livestock in the Buffalo city limits or Lackawanna or Cheektowaga. I've seen people with goats, sheep, even horses in their backyards, on city lots.

An indication that I live in the barrio- This is what shows up in my Nextdoor feed:
Also, I saw chickens in someone's front yard when I was out walking the dog yesterday.

Did KA hire his successor for an eventual transition to P0HO? I thought the advisor to GM was merely a rumor but obviously not. If the former, this makes sense to ensure a smooth transition and prevents a ‘new guy’ from playing cowboy and blowing everything up.
This is the answer

Fans wanted accountability, this is what it looks like.
Fans what a championship. All these players that get dealt have deep playoff runs and many in fact have won championships. The Sabres is not what a championship team looks like, but a lot of the players they've dealt do look like a championship team.

True, I think I'd rather have someone with more experience and grit. But can I actually get my hands on such a commodity?

Here's the thing, you trade for Rossi, Rosen and Östlund are basically redundant pieces here now. Rosen already is but, and ik some of you will be shocked, you can't run a forward group of 5'11" forwards. It's just not gonna work.
You can fit Rossi and Benson on the roster and Helenius has a chance but adding Östlund and Rosen... meh.
It's a question of timing. Rossi is here (in the NHL) now. The rest still have the p-word attached to them: Potential.
Bring in Rossi and you don't have to rush others up. Östlund will no doubt find his way into the lineup this season anyway; there's no way the team will remain injury free.
And for the record... Rosen is a winger, not a center.

He’s unrestricted. The Sabres have no control after July 1.
Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Yes, he could sign with anyone but if the Sabres told him he wasn't getting another contract (and his agent couldn't stir anything up) it was time to go.

He was on an expiring contract. They needed to look at him to determine if it was worth another contract. It just so happens he made that decision for them.
Or maybe they told him he wasn't getting an NHL contract.

I could imagine quite the buzz in Chicago if they offer sheet or trade for Peterka AND sign Marner.
...and the ensuring defensive vacuum in their wakes. 😄

I dunno. How many do you need?

Yeah, probably best for him. Didn't make the jump is the perfect way to phrase it. But hey, not every late round pick is going to be an Olofsson.
Byeeeee Lukas.

This is cool for people that are into it. To me it feels like being back in pre-med engineering classes, and I don't ever want to go back there 😂
I'm an old school eye test guy, for better or worse.
Same. There's a reason they're analytics guys. I'm not one of those.

What's the first masters?
Education. He started a library science masters but couldn't handle the database course so he switched to education and worked a few years as a music teacher. He was okay with the kids but wasn't crazy about dealing with the administration so he decided to get out of education. His wife has degrees in IT and finance (also a crazy combination) and she helped him take some free online classes that got him going toward data analytics. He pretty quickly got past the level she could understand, but he was able to do it okay.
He got a text this morning that said, "Evaluation - Completed: Congratulations! You have completed NKM2 Task 3: Presentation of Findings." That was his last course. They said he'd receive his diploma within a week and a half.
The whole degree was online through Western Governors University. (I looked into them a bit and they are accredited and legit.)

My son was just notified that he's successfully completed the last course for his master's degree in data analytics.
This is a guy who started out severely speech delayed, was in special ed in elementary school but by high school was taking AP classes. He has a BA in music and this is his second master's degree.
I'm pretty impressed by the things he accomplishes.

We have some players that look playoff ready: Tuch, Thompson, Zucker, Greenway, Malenstein, Benson, Kulich--if he keeps his head up--and McLovin, while I'd be a afriad that Quinn and Peterka might get run over.
We have our suspicions but until you see them in battle you don't know. Peterka might step up; Benson may get run over. You never know.

I think this applies to all of the Sabres forwards that have developed in the system. There is simply no data on them relative to the NHL playoffs. Who will be a lion and who will be a mouse?

Yeah... he's from this area. Does a lot of good stuff.
