Watching the heavily focused on defense style of incredibly boring to me. I watch for entertainment, and the low event games are easy 15 minute fast forward watches after games. They are not worth watching live at all.

"Playing the right way"...
It's not about playing the Jersey stifle.
It's playing fast and aggressive, dominating puck possession by not doing stupid poop w/the puck and turning it over. And having enough skill around to bury the chances you often create. The chances your speed and skill can create without being frantic and reckless. Playing fast and responsibly and coming back on D to regain possession quickly after losing it. Playing a game where the other team gets tired from chasing you & the puck around all night. I don't think watching my team play that way would be boring at all.

Solid post ion

I just think a fresh step of eyes is needed at this point.

Like pegulaville reminds us, this is an important time for the franchise. These contracts need to be cost effective.

Could be a perfect storm with
- a flat Cap that pressures other teams,
- couple decent tradeable assets
- Sabres with lots of Cap space,
- high draft pick

-young team with superstars

I would think the Sabres GM job would be very desirable.

If they allow buyouts, there are going to be lots a gritty, old type vets available.

There is absolutely no evidence to back this theory that he's gonna hit this imaginary wall of yours. I would think you would be a fan of the care he takes with his body.

"When Canadiens sports science and performance director, Pierre Allard, was asked about which player always amazes him in the gym, his reply came rather quickly.

"Every year, I'm blown away by how strong Shea Weber is physically. He's a beast from a physical standpoint. Every year, when I see him arrive in the weight room, you see he's at another level," praised Allard, regarding the Habs' captain. "Shea has always taken his conditioning to heart."

Hey, I heard an actual Sabres rumor today.

My friend of a friend of a friend source is 0 for 2, so you've been warned.

Looking like we're going to get Galchenyuk - WRONG

We are going to get Darren Helm - WRONG

He says the name Michael Granlund was being mentioned quite a bit around the trade deadline and would be a guy to keep an eye on this offseason. I don't know who that is, and I'm too lazy to look him up. Anybody else hear this? Is he any good?

The time to do what he is doing now, is what he should have been doing when he was busy calling it a hoax and the Chinese virus.

Guy is just consistently behind.

I’m not saying the Democrats would of handled it better, maybe they would have franked it up too.

Regardless, it’s a frank up.

- Pegullaville


There is nothing wrong with calling a virus, that came from China, a Chinese virus. Christ, even liberal media outlets were doing the same thing, ie: NPR

The liberals were too busy trying to impeach him on highly questionable unverified hearsay rumors. Their heads were so far up their asses that to say they were just behind would be a bonafide compliment.

The economy is a sinking ship no matter what he does. Trump is too busy trying to fill up buckets of water and dump them off the side of the titanic instead of releasing the life boats.

He cares more about saving the economy for his re-election then he does about saving American lives.

That’s the truth.

I know people don’t like hearing the truth sometimes but I’m not going to apologize for it.

Right, like not dragging us further into wars, or new wars, in the Middle East killing thousands of more Americans that benefit us how, exactly?

Your "truth" is not the objective truth.

I was talking about him at the trade deadline, can play C or RW, is a really good skater, and can dish the puck, be a nice compliment to Skinner.

All he does is lie, he manipulated the oil market on Thursday to try to prevent a limit down due to the unemployment levels but watch oil get crushed on Monday now because the OPEC isn’t meeting.

I’ll keep pocketing cash on the inverse, the stock market is going to cover my down payment on my first house.

To say he cares about lives over the economy is false.

I wish they’d just own it. I’d at least respect it.

Everyone knows it’s true.

Literally at the WH press briefing where they flat out said they are giving the ventilators to private companies to sell to hospitals and nursing homes who have to outbid each other to save lives.

It’s insanity

He got impeached, and yet he’s still president.

Using the impeachment as an excuse is a crock of crap.

What did he have to prepare for ? He wasn’t getting out of office regardless.

UFA, was paid $5.75 for average 40sh points.
What is he going to want AVV and Term wise.
He may need a flat contract or even reduced.
Need someone who can put up 60sh for L2

You 2 should get a room at Trump hotel. Maybe throw in some tapes of his rallies to, you know, get in the mood.
