Had the Wagyu Beef it was amazing and had the house made mozzarella for an app. This spot is going to be a place that everyone talks about and recommends very soon.

This is not "on the water" so if you boat up, don't expect the same atmosphere as Dockside.

I still say Allen starts for the bills
- homiedclown



Hard to say.

McDermott drafted peterman, not Beane
They signed McCarron
They drafted allen

Pretty much, each guy is a new regime guy

I thought it was petermans spot to lose?
Sounds like he lost it

No one told me I'd need forks if I back red.

Nice location, Boss. I've never seen Fitz validated before.

Allen has a lot of charisma. He was pumping up all the linemen in the huddle before they got started on their team drill reps. Players are going to have that dude's back.

Peterman looked like he was able to command the offense, just lacks NFL level talent.

Give it a year Bossman. Heard on NFL Network they have the most cap space in the league for 2020 and beyond and I believe a lot of spaces opens up next year. They are following the current blueprint for successful teams in the NFL. Sean Payton discussed how teams are able to make massive improvements and turn things around once you hit on a few draft picks and free up cap space. Not exactly rocket science, but pumped me up yesterday none the less.

At least we got one good GM in Buffalo. Should have two.

I cant wait. Seams like allen has a little rivers in his demeanor. Bill's defense is gonna keep us in every game.

I really liked tmgm when he got here. Not sure if a couple of the early picks worked out

Sam
Not mcdavid
Nylander

But, it's hard to argue that he DID add some talent in the draft and college free agency
Guhle, oloffson, erod, cj smith, nelson

2014 was a weak draft, we all knew going in
2015 eichel and if guhle plans out.
2016 nylander might have cost him his job

The disposable picks theory kinda got him too.
Lost the kane trade and stuck with blowgo
Lost the lehner trade clearly
Lost the prysk trade
Lost the fashing trade

Tmgm does deserve some credit in my opinion.
Not taking into account personality flaws , and just focusing on on ice performances hurt. The whole "warts" thing.

Losing the Pysyk trade is like finding out you have to eat Wendy’s instead of subway.

I respect your opinion but he just turned 20

Once he plays 40 or more

Is decision time to decide if he’s good or not

I go positive for a day and everyone goes negative

Maybe my negativity brings out the positive Energy into people 😂

I cannot remember, is there a set of stairs that gets you from dock level, or do you need to still climb a ladder? Either way, it's right across the road from that line of docks. Much easier than docking at Smoke On The Water.

I don't think so as their problems during those off seasons were cap-related...the Dumont/kotalik choice was cap-related...mckee left for the big payday but if buffalo would have signed him to $4m it would have altered the roster because of the cap implications
- Michael Pachla



It wasn’t just a Dumont/Kotalik choice. They signed Max and Pee Pee boy at/or around the same time as the shootout specialist. Dumont was the wiser choice imo. I thought it then and still feel the same way now. He was the best player the next 4 years.

Lol, that's a fair comparison. You guys would've liked Kulikov a lot more if he didn't suffer that serious injury. He was always frustrating, though, a lot of solid play followed by a costly mistake. He wasn't afraid to actually play the man instead of always fishing to steal the puck, and he has offensive skills, but just never fully made it over the hump. His cannon shot made an impressive sound as the puck hit the glass. He always made Russia's national team, granted it was a team that had to score 5 to win.
