To be fair, if any other fan base had been on the ride we've been on as Buffalo fans for any of our teams, there wouldn't be anything to female dog about. The teams would have folded, packed up and moved. We've been pretty loyal.

You're probably right and like Hardhat said it's practically human nature. But as the team gets better and I actually take pleasure in watching them play I'll be making a serious effort to ignore the mind numbing complaining (as opposed to a solid debate though it's pretty easy to tell which is which).

I just don't like the personal crusades. Coming in every day to bash or defend a certain player/coach/gm as if we in here are the decision makers.

This is all you need to know:


The last 2 days people have been calling into the municipalities and the news stations to complain that the snow plow pushed snow in their driveway

Other called to complain their street wasn't plowed.

That is all.

Serious question: would anyone want to take a chance with Yakupov? If he could be had fairly cheap, should we take a chance with Grigorenko and him on the same line?

Chance? Sure, if he was cheap. He won't come cheap.

I might . Problem is it is not going to be cheap . Edmonton covets his draft position more so than they do him at this point . I feel they will expect someone to pay for his draft position still.

Things with Yaks and E. Kane are all the same stuff meaning their attitude. You can fix attitude, you cant fix skill and they both have a lot of it. Hope Sabres take a serious run of E. Kane and ROR in offseason.

For example:

ROR for STL 1st and Grigorenko (I like Grigs and hope they keep him but our forward spots are so full eventually we will have to trade prospects)

E. Kane for Myers

Best possible solutions IF we can snag both considering both teams love Myers

grigo to the oilers for yakupov

Yea I understand, but if the Oilers really want him gone and want 2015 draft picks (strong draft) we could take a chance, but I doubt we can offer enough to really get it done (that we are willing to get rid of).

You know Cab that happened to my daughter yesterday.

She is a dispatcher for Laidlaw out of the Box street location.

Yesterday they had an 8 year old girl that went missing at drop off time.

My daughter told the bus driver to check the bus again, he lied and said he did.

My daughter knows the little girl and her family and a half hour later (the parents going NUTSO) radio's the driver once again and tells him sternly, check that bus again , every seat.

Sure enough there was the little 8 year old girl sleeping by the window towards the rear of the bus. My daughter wanted to fire the driver but didn't.
My daughter has more patience than me because I would have fired the driver.

In this draft I might give up a single late first for him.

Me too, with an RFA or 3rd rounder.

Doubt that gets Edmonton to do it, but it depends on how desperate they are to revamp their roster.

Weber is head and shoulders the best dman on this roster.

You know how I know that?

I watch games at FNC only 8 rows up from the ice surface.

Also, his contract is up this year, so RFA, which if he wants out of Edmonton could get ugly this summer (not sure if he wants out, but I would, haha).
