You're just following a rabid few here who put their knee-jerk reaction ahead of reason and are now trying to bully me into justifying incompetent reading and thinking. A cop once pulled me over and tried to get me to admit I wasn't wearing my seat belt when in fact I was. I just unbuckled it to reach into the glove box and retrieve my registration in an effort to be a nice, compliant citizen. What he really pulled me over for, which he'd never admit, was prior to that I didn't let him go through a four way stop first even though he clearly stopped after I did. Edited March 22 by ...

Sure sounds like you made that claim: Quote Meatballs will never understand what it takes to compete at the NHL or even AHL level because he's never experienced it. But yeah, let’s qualify that stand alone sentence with another stand alone sentence, from a different paragraph entirely, just to avoid having to admit that you didn’t say something in the first place. It would have been easier just to apologize for not making yourself clear in the first place. Is there a Latin phrase for “intellectual dishonesty?” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subject of the sentence you are quoting is Meatballs. You're taking a specific reference and arbitrarily broadening it to create a strawman. You should really just let this go.

Porous Five Hole Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Since the trade, Casey is 4G 3A in 11 GP, +3. Not much press on him to share since the trade, but Aves 8-3 in last 11 GP. Seems he’s fitting in nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 (edited) Bo knows hockey In his last 11 games he has 0 goals, 1 assist and is -6. I guess the Sabres no accountability culture has already won him over. Edited April 8 by GASabresIUFAN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rotates in and out, plays a soft style of defense, and stopped creating chances. He has become like Joker but with a ring and a higher pedigree. I am gonna be really interested in what Adams offers to pay this guy over the veteran 2C that he discarded. Cant wait to see what 2C he brings in because Cozens is looking like a 3C and Krebs is not the guy right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to see what 2C he brings in because Cozens is looking like a 3C and Krebs is not the guy right now. couldnt agree with you more...our first line is probably best served as a second line on a contending team. as of now, this is what the team realistically looks like from a 'holes' perspective (imo): 1st Line: Peterka ? ? 2nd Line: ? Tage Tuch 3rd Line: Benson Cozens Quinn 4th Line: Greenway Krebs Skinner (i know, i know - prefer he is gone outright, but he wont be) 1st Pair: ? Dahlin 2nd Pair: Clifton Bryam 3rd Pair: Joker Power Bench: RJ and Rousek Now sure, we can plug Skinner into the first line, Rosen, Savoie or Kulich into this line or that line and move Tuch up to this line or that and this and that. On D, move RJ up to 3rd pairing and blah blah. Problem is, that is not a winning team under this current coaching staff - or possibly most coaching staffs. It is a middling .500 club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's going to make you feel any better but Casey has 1 goal 2 assists and is a minus 6 in his last 5 games on a much better team. For the most part I have only seen the condensed games and one of the problems seems to be they are trying to use him differently. He seems to be in the middle of the ice more than along the walls which is were he is better at gaining puck possession. Bo himself is in a new system on the back end. Remember how poorly Clifton was playing at the start of the year? I will still take a wait and see approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The culture in Buffalo is so bad that McDavid, McKinnon and Matthews could be added to the roster and they would end up looking like Krebs, Jost and VO in just a few games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more likely his early play was reflective of the VERY common post-trade bump and that his recent is a return to his season norm, and the reason he was available, rather than indication the Sabres are beating him down 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had him in that PP spot as well. Like an adrenalin rush. Then it's back to the routine and learning what the coach wants and this coach don't know what he wants on D but overall like you say, back to normal.
