I would punch you directly in the face if you said that to me face to face. Bloody your reinhart jersey


Your safe though in your parents basement (frank)o

What in Davy Jones’ locker did ye just bark at me, ye scurvy bilgerat? I’ll have ye know I be the meanest cutthroat on the seven seas, and I’ve led numerous raids on fishing villages, and taken over 300 wenches. I be trained in hit-and-run pillaging and be the deadliest with a pistol of all the captains on the high seas. Ye be nothing to me but another source o’ swag. I’ll have yer guts for garters and keel haul ye like never been done before, hear me true. You think ye can hide behind your newfangled computing device? Think twice on that, scallywag. As we parley I be contacting my secret network o’ pirates across the sea and yer port is being tracked right now so ye better prepare for the typhoon, weevil. The kind o’ monsoon that’ll wipe ye off the map. You’re sharkbait, fool. I can sail anywhere, in any waters, and can kill ye in o’er seven hundred ways, and that be just with me hook and fist. Not only do I be top o’ the line with a cutlass, but I have an entire pirate fleet at my beck and call and I’ll damned sure use it all to wipe yer arse off o’ the world, ye dog. If only ye had had the foresight to know what devilish wrath your jibe was about to incur, ye might have belayed the comment. But ye couldn’t, ye didn’t, and now ye’ll pay the ultimate toll, you buffoon. I’ll poop fury all over ye and ye’ll drown in the depths o’ it. You’re fish food now.

Package him with Risto or Montour and get us our damn 2C.

Then draft Raymond/Holtz at 7.

Cozens moves to RW.

Spend remaining cap dollars on the wings.

Problem solved.

Well, with him and Risto you never know what you will get. He and Skinner had good/great years last year and look where that got the Sabres. Sometimes you need talented AND good soldiers to build the right winning culture. Holding on to your toys because you are attached to them is nice when you are little but no so much when you need results. We held on to our favorite toys during the Vanek, Miller, Pominville era and look where that got us.

Maybe i could get more on board with this idea if i had any faith at all in the GM. But right now, there is no scenario in my mind at all where we trade our 2nd or 3rd best forward and improve.

Why would you want to trade risto?
He played that 2 on 1 last night to perfection.

If your top winger is Sam Reinhart and we speculate about a deal and most agree that it would take Sam + something substantial to get an upgraded winger or center doesn't that tell you he isn't that awesome?

Many team's top wingers could get something good on their own.

Kaiser is taking a step back and trusting Yahoo's view of the play and interview.

I paid $ to see that 1/2 ass effort.

Doubt the yahoo writer was at the game.
Nor paying to see a core guy quit - again

- Boss34


You way, way over value the benefit of viewing live from 100's down at one end of the rink.
No context of the fact the guy chasing from behind wasn't going to catch him and he was on the ice for 2-1/2shifts already
Harrington is a hack with a vendetta, just itching to ask Sam that question there.
Funny how the goals were scored by guys not pulling their weight all season after being called out by Sam the previous game.

Any major league city reporter would have asked that question. Now, some single-A city, maybe not.

The only kind of reporter who asks that question is a reporter trying to get a reaction, not a reporter trying to get information.

Sam could get a good haul on his own. It would just be futures. Teams don't trade players like that almost ever, which is why swapping him for someone just as good is almost never going to happen.

Tim Graham's take on it was basically the intent of the question was fine but the way it was asked was hostile and setting up for him to get defensive

it even looked like Sam was ready to give an answer then Harrington piped in the "it looked like you quit" and he just figured alright (frank) this guy

That's BS, it would have been malpractice if he or someone didn't ask what was up on that goal.

Tim Graham hates the guy so anything between those two has to be read with that lens in mind.

bad prediction..
*Krueger up top
*Babs behind bench
They do have a friendship which could make sense.
One thing we could guarantee is a 60 minute effort. NO BS
Reality...
*Stay the course
*Patience
*Young'ns will improve over time with salary cap clearing out this summer and new players arrive.

Fair, i just think graham is our best reporter and harrington is probably our worst, so i'd buy what he's selling

about the only time you get comparable value is when you trade from a position of strength for a position of weakness with a team of the opposite.. we have 8 million D, why can't we trade some of them plus a prospect or something for offense??

Dman dive on 2-1's all the time, not sure if anyone asked about it though. Less often do players quit on plays.
