A metaphor for being a Sabres fan... lots of buildup but you end up shooting yet load in celebration only to have the sky come crashing down on you.


Another thing gerbe isn’t ready for!!! It’s all in the reflexes.

Looks like Schuldt was at Montreal's dev camp last year.

I wonder how both he and Brickley are as skaters as I couldn't find that when I was reading about them.

They seem like very similar players.

I agree it’s important to take off the blinders and be realistic about this team. I acknowledge that the won/loss record places us at or near the bottom of the league all the time, and results matter.

I also think, if we “take the blinders off,” and deal with “realistic expectations,” that nobody should be disappointed with last night’s game. We lost by one goal to a league powerhouse, and had several chances to tie in the last minutes of the game. That’s a far better result than most would have predicted before they played.

This is not to accept a losing mentality. It just recognizes four prongs of a truth that lead to a difficult season: 1) this team has in place many of the pieces that are necessary for a string successful, winning, playoff contending seasons; 2) this team is missing several very important pieces necessary for that success; 3) it takes a long time to find and acquire those missing pieces; and 4) the team still plays games during that process.

While they play, I’m gonna focus on where they are exceeding expectations (“root now”) rather than any other approach (we suck; Bogo is poop; trade everyone; everyone we traded is great, etc.).

Have a nice day, drink responsibly, don’t drive if you slip into a few too many.

Ooh, ahh.

The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious.

Slavic peoples get their physical characteristics from potatoes, their smoldering inquietude from radishes, their seriousness from beets.

The beet is the melancholy vegetable, the one most willing to suffer. You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip...

The beet is the murderer returned to the scene of the crime. The beet is what happens when the cherry finishes with the carrot. The beet is the ancient ancestor of the autumn moon, bearded, buried, all but fossilized; the dark green sails of the grounded moon-boat stitched with veins of primordial plasma; the kite string that once connected the moon to the Earth now a muddy whisker drilling desperately for rubies.

The beet was Rasputin's favorite vegetable. You could see it in his eyes

I predicted 5-0 Blues, so sure(?) I guess better than expected.

I think the first premise of your argument is debatable. The word many should be deleted for the statement to be more accurate.

Yes, there are pieces, however several those pieces cost way too much to sustain long term success...Pommenville, Okposo, ROR, Bogo, etc. thankfully, some of those and other large contracts go away in relatively short/reasonable time (Pommenville, Moulson, Gorges)...while others linger on ROR, Okposo, Bogo. Unfortunately, as new talented players join the team (Mitts, Guhle, Asplund, etc) with cost controlled contract they will eventually push these costly players down the lineup, making a very cost-heavy 3rd line. It is for this reason, I would be supportive of moving on from ROR and Okposo...starting next off-season (summer of 2019) since it is highly likely their current pay/production does not lend itself to a trade...hopefully, their play improves consistently and combined with shorter term remaining will enable interested GM’s to squeeze them into their roster.

Further, ineffective players (lacking proper skill and/or speed) who have proven they can’t play in this system must be jettisoned...Girgensons, Larson, Nolan and more.

The other points in your post are accurate.

We are not good, we have miles and miles to go, it will take a lot more time than this fan-based was sold on.
