Doohickie

Fixed it for you. Ends in an s, not a z.

Has anyone ever seen them in the same room at the same time?

That's right where my mind went. And then I realized they meant the Dr. Phil John Davidson.

Don't you mean Mike Johnson?

Are the Sabres trying to win the Olympics or the Stanley Cup?

Perfect. Oh... it's really 4 x 4.5? Too high. Bleh.

Perfect.

Was any "guiding" really necessary for the #1 pick? It's not like Leach picked someone other than the consensus #1 player.

Yeah, that too. I would be excited for a Helly trade, but only at the right cost.

I'm just saying it's not as black and white as you like to think it is. Helly just had the worst sv% of his career. Is he already in decline? Do you know? I don't. UPL improved his sv% by .022 compared to last season and had his best ever GAA. Is he finally showing his potential? Do you know? I don't.

It's crazy to think there are people on this forum who think predicting future goalie performance is an exact science.

Depends who breaks the news. Yes, eventually it will be changed but that has to be done by @dudacek or a mod.

I click into the thread and quickly scroll looking for a tweet. I figure it will break on twitter.

It's easy. Ever k is a double kk and the only other doubled letter is the u in Luukkonen. And you put in too many n's.

Because if it's revived, the Sabres are still the most likely partner. fify

Ovi is not the same as he used to be. His game used to be more like Tuch's from a physical standpoint. He was never a backchecker/PK specialist/etc., like Tuch is though. Just because I said he's plugging that hole doesn't mean I think they play exactly the same game.

Realistically: I think Washington sees Tuch as their plug to fill the hole Ovechkin will leave. Scoring, maybe a little less but Tuch is a much, much more complete player than Ovechkin. The signing makes a lot of sense for them. They need him more than we do and their salary offer proves it.

My 1956 ranch is also solidly built.

I hear ya, brother. I hear ya.

I think heightened expectations for the Sabres in the aftermath of making the playoffs informs that unsettled feeling.

So probably not prior to Thanksgiving... Wow.

The jury is still out on that. But yes, I could see signing Kane in conjunction with a totall separate deal to open up a spot on the forward lines for him.
