The omission of Eichel does seem petty but those calls...man, oh man. I had goosebumps watching that video and it brought back some fond memories. Sadly, another piece of my childhood is about to come to an end. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. It's been a real pain in the neck...

Five minutes...

That's a bigger package than some on this board would have you believe they'll get...

'Square Pegs In A Round Jackhole'

'Plastic Face' Jones will be 79 this year and 'Rub & Tug' Kraft just turned 80. I'm hoping the Bills can run out the clock on them...

I think a few people may have missed your reference, 'Mr. Joel'. 🍺

'Jag Eye Kill'

'Picka Peca Pickled Peppers'

'No Goal(ies)'

For now: 'U ain't got Jack' Re-painted later: 'We ain't got Jack'

Let's go with the latter until he shows otherwise.

"Brought in guys who want to be here...high character." That's the mantra. It's obvious that he's willing to die on that cross.

I don't think you have to worry about them removing the 'C' from his sweater. His trade will take care of that. Seems like so many bridges have been burned on both sides that I just don't see any way he remains a Sabre. Whether that's before the season or during remains to be seen.

There's your physicality/'protection' for the younger guys.

Regardless, he's interacted with/interviewed/gotten a peek behind the curtain and at least is coming from a tangible, in-person perspective. Can you or others say that? If so, please share and disprove what he said.

Right. These guys only get one playing career. Once it's over, it's over...there are no 'do overs'. This revamped FO may finally right the ship but with no empirical evidence at the moment and only the last decade as a measuring stick for the players who have been here, how do they buy into what the same ownership has bungled for so long now? Odds are, they're looking at more 'rinse and repeat'. Competitors want to compete and they only have so long to do it.

For all of you trashing Eichel's character, per Paul Hamilton on WGR today: "I want people to know...make no mistake...Jack Eichel likes and LOVES the city of Buffalo. It's the team that he has issues with." How is that different than 99.9% of the posters on this board who are fed up with the sheer incompetence of this organization? I'm not saying he's blameless for how this shite show has played out but the character assassination is over the top, IMO.

But they both have attractive female owners whom a lot of people don't like...so there's that.

At least he won't have to worry about pulling out his hair behind this team...

Which is probably why Marty Biron was reportedly blasting Ullmark on social media. This day certainly didn't go as many had thought or hoped.

Another homecoming. Nobody's gonna love you like your family...no matter what you have (or haven't) done.
