Doohickie

...and this includes the guys coming up from Rochester. Okay, they don't have enough NHL experience, but how do you suppose they get NHL experience? The way the Sabres are handling the issues at forward is, frankly, normal for the NHL, and I think there are several players on the cusp of being NHL ready- Biro, Rousek, Kulich, Rosen, Weissbach, Cederqvist, and although he's probably not destied to be a fulltime NHLer, Brett Murray has some NHL time in and could step in if needed. We don't want all those guys up right now, but at any given time, having one or two of those guys in the lineup isn't going to kill the team.

What triggered this post is that I realized I was getting too personal with a couple different people on a couple different subjects. And I thought to myself.... am I really like this? And I realized I was getting too caught up in and frustrated with something that's supposed to be fun.

Can you tell I was raised Catholic? "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned...."

That's very nice of you to say, but I know better.

It's a section of Reddit where people post situations they find themselves in, usually something that's emotionally charged and the person has staked out a certain position. Maybe people close to the situation tell them they're in the wrong, so they post the situation to Reddit forum in the AITAH area and people weigh in. Typically, if someone is asking if they are the AH, they are the AH. It's half advice column, half train wreck.

Oddly... no. I just looked at my posts over several threads and decided that wasn't me... or at least not the way I like to think about myself. Maybe that's the point: I was sober when I noticed that.

That was with 6:26 left in the first.

For any of the Sabres fans who feel like you missed out, I asked my dearest what she thought of the move (she's a big Wings fan), and she said, "Waste of money. He's washed."

I have his jersey and everything but... I dunno, feels like getting back together with an ex or something. Besides on his way out he seemed to indicate he was done with Buffalo.

Coming from you, that means next to nothing. 😛

Those of you on Reddit know what that means... for those who don't it stands for "Am I The *** Hole?" In my case, lately.... yes I am. I realized I'm arguing out of my butt with people that I actually respect but are on the different sides of issues. I looked in the metaphorical mirror and examined several of my posts lately and realized that in a lot of the spats I'm getting into: I really don't have a firm footing for my position, other than it's how I feel. Whether I'm right or wrong doesn't matter anyway. I just want to watch the Sabres, and hopefully watch the Sabres win. I enjoy this forum because I *do* learn a lot about the team and gain insights I don't get elsewhere. That has value to me. But I am far from the most informed fan here, and it's presumptuous of me to think I know more than most of the people here; in fact the opposite is true. I realize that lately I've been kind of a **** in debating various views about the Sabres. But in most cases, Points 1 and/or 2 above apply. So I'd like to apologize for being a ****. I'd like to apologize to the people I've disagreed with recently. A lot of Sabrespace has been frustrated with the way the season has gone thus far, myself included, and I realize I've been taking it out on other people, and needlessly so. Sorry.

I think you quoted the wrong ****ing post.

Cite sources, otherwise this means nothing.

Such a disclaimer would have saved me a suspension last year.

And yet we have UPL who's... what? ~10th in the league? Were there better options available?

So basically the same thing Carolina fans accuse Buffalo fans of. Got it.

GOOD.

That's kind of what sports announcers do. They focus on their home team. It would be unnatural really for them to say a sub-.500 team was better than their 1st-in-the-NHL team.

But that's the thing: goalies can be very mercurial. You pick up a "competent veteran backup" who's been good the last several years, and he could drop off. Or you take a guy you think might be peaking and he doesn't quite get there. Or you bring a guy in who's been a stud and suddenly he doesn't have it anymore. You have to build the rest of the team to be the best they can be and hope that either one of the goalies in your system emerges or you can bring in outside help when you need it. Or in some cases, both.

Because the Ilitches live in Detroit?

Why? He's not part of the future for Buffalo. He's not part of the present in terms of what the Sabres need, and it's highly uncertain how long he will be able to play. I don't think Kevyn gave him any more than a cursory look.

I don't think any of this is true.

I stated that plainly, yes. Both the basic pizza is better, plus they have more specialty pizzas (like the Detroit style). I've seen Detroit style advertised here in Texas but I don't think it's a regular option. When we lived in Detroit, LC was our go-to. It was quick, cheap, and good. When they opened up here in Texas it was disappointing.... although still quick and cheap. I don't really pay attention to them anymore though; we have a good Buffalo style pizza option and that's mostly what I get.

It occurred to me that... I started this thread because I didn't think the Sabres had much of a chance in this game. I started another thread earlier this season and the Sabres lost. I figured this game would also be a loss, so I started this thread to "take one for the team" so someone else didn't get disappointed, starting a GDT for a lost game. But they won. So, just like the Sabres I'm at .500 points percentage.
