Shes a very nice young woman and a great bartender.

Runs a clean bar.
Doesn't stand still - always taking orders, cleaning the bar, clearing out her dead bottles or emptying the trash.
Sees what you need before you ask for it and brings it to you without being asked.
Waits til youre on the fourth wing before she asks "Are the wings OK?"
Knows when bumholes are being bumholes but doesn't let it bother her. Gives a little eyebrow arch and then laughs to herself without showing it too much.

Very high energy, but very efficient.

Pretty much.

I think what it boils down to is that Murray thought Sam Reinhart was a lot better than he's been the last few years.

He thought he had his core with Eichel, Sam, and Ristolainen. He was right with one of them.

The other two are compliments, not core players

Even then, he did it before his core proved it could win games.

Which is why I am so confused as to why people are so eager to lock this "core" up long term (Kane, Reinhart)

They are proving that they need much more to compete

Idk if i would "lock up" Reinhart, but if his linemates keep being Griffith and Girgs, his point totals will be pretty garbage, and management will get a good deal on a bridge deal. Put him back with Eichel next year, or get him some wingers who are capable of scoring goals , and boom, 45-50 point player for 3.5-4 mil per year.

If this team is going to contend for a cup, it's going to need another "big money" guy, whether it's from outside or a guy who proves himself from within. Locking up both Kane and Okposo at the money they make and/or going to command, makes that difficult.

oh my, after yotes win


So how is barely holding onto to beat this team after holding a four-goal lead a “win” for the Buffalo Sabres?

It isn’t, if you consider what left winger Benoit Pouliot had to say following the team’s near-total-collapse:

Maybe we just thought the game was over before it was over. We got a little bit lazy, and they capitalized, but we came out with the two points.

Is it bad that I'm sorta dreading the game tonight?

During the tank years, I knew we would suck and it was just "oh well, lets see how we do." Now, I sorta want to win and I'm not feeling real good about that.

I'd think you would need to send over a first and Reinhart, plus maybe a prospect...Quality defensemen are hard to come by. He may not want to stay in AZ but they have tons of money they could offer him, but if he is set on leaving AZ might give him up for a discount.
