hey guys longtime lurker here...enjoy the banter back & forth between the main cast (most of the time lol)
my 2cents on the state of the sabres:
No one is untouchable on this team besides eichel. even with the injuries this team did not produce to expectations that were set by both fans & management/coach
Risto, I believe has the tools to become a stud/elite/top10 (whatever you want to call it in this league) problem is there is no one on the roster who can show him the way. it seems he's head & shoulders above any D we have that he can't bounce ideas/analysis off anyone & get feedback. sure gorges is there but he's not the type of veteran that can fill that role & maybe there's a handful in the league that can fill the role but it's Murray's job to identify & pursue.
Reinhart looks noticeably disinterested & that looks like a coach/player divide. (noticed this way before the benching).
I like lehners fire, that being said he's gotta have a bridge contract (2yrs 7mill range). still not convinced he's the future but im pulling for him.
as much as this team needs goal scoring I'd shop kane in the summer & see what the market is...not comfortable giving him 5-6 years. if he starts next year on a 30 goal pace then consider a 5x6mill extension (condition that he signs by Jan 1st). if he doesn't sign im sure one bubble team will give up their 1st for him, just hope they don't make the playoffs.
let's have some serious competition to make up the bottom six next year. Bailey, Baptiste, fasching, erod, Larsson, girgs, smith, asplund, even nylander...spread the minutes around .12mins-19mins should be the ice time for all forwards. no one lower than 12, no higher than 19-20mins
Murray has to get rid of the deadweight on this team...period. You're the GM. 2 of 3 ennis, Moulson, bogo cannot be here next year (hopefully all 3). Murray is gonna have to have a great offseason to regain confidence from the fanbase
Fire byslma!! at this point it's clear it's not working. honestly it doesnt matter whos to blame. bring someone in who has an uptempo mindset & can work with a young roster. a Peter laviollete type...dudes fiery & Nashville is a fun to watch playoff team
I'll hang up & listen - yieichel89
Solid post
Now what are your opinions about liquor, pizza, politics, the city's rebuild, and super hero movies. That should about cover it.

Welome sir/maam to this collection of misfit toys called "Sabres fans". If you follow the team and you read this board then you truly are a glutton of punishment. Like me.
I think I agree with virtually all of the above, particularly the "dump the deadwood" and "fire Disco" points you make. I assume after last night's embarrassment and the way they handled Rhino/Jack that Disco is done within a week or two. I also imagine that Murray's butt is extremely hot right now and he needs to fix what he started with gusto. Playoffs or bust 17/18'!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about hookers? For or against?
Edit: I'm not sure what old fashioned pizza is, but pizza dipped in bleu cheese is fantastic.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is a mystery to me.
Every time I've ever watched him he looks really good, yet is at 39 points in 78 games. He's good at both ends but man you need better production from a former #1

What's worse ? Being a Sabre fan this year and having (hopefully) moderate expectations unfullfilled ................
Or being a Stars, Panthers or Isles fan and having your lofty expectations (based on last year) crash and burn?

So my wife and I are moving to Florida in a few months therefore we needed to sell our house in Rochester and our cottage on Conesus Lake.
While We have two close friends who are realtors, We decided to try For sale By Owner first. We put both house on Zillow as ComingSoon, meaning we needed additional time to prepare them ... but we were lucky and had a potential buyer for each of the properties over the weekend ... sold one today for full asking price and no contingencies, the other we are finalizing negotiations. Both properties were listed about $10K over the real estate agent recommendations!
Moral of the story ...
- got $20K more for purchase prices combined
- saved about $30K in real estate fees
Combined that is $50K more in our pockets!
Do you really need real estate agents?..
Not so much, these will be the 4th and 5th houses I have sold myself.
