I’m definitely the same when i’m on my
phone. Like a mindless zombie. Then again i’m not usually on a podcast listened by a large group of people so.

Also i’ll be shocked if a deal of some sort with Calgary isn’t done this summer. Lots of conversations.

i never said he was a bad player
- Michael Pachla

Not saying you did, but I feel that statement is sort of a cop out.

He’s really good. Really good players win the cup.

Rhino and Risto package seems like a good fit there.

he said he was working on breaking news...what that breaking news is might give an indication as to how he values and appearance on the instigators
- Michael Pachla



Well, if those two TOOLS stopped talking over him (I mean, they have him on the show for insider news, yes?), maybe he'd value it more.

I can't count how many times they ask him a question, and before he's able to answer, one of those morons gives their opinion for 3 minutes, or they'll interupt him constantly.

It's like, we don't want to listen to you idiots when Friedman's on. Let the man talk.

you're trying to pivot towards inanity...

i never said skunk was a bad player...always called him the quiet one who has gotten better every year...i even said that i see him as a part of a cup-winning team (probably not buffalo) and was laughed at

- Michael Pachla


🙋‍♂️

I laughed at you Mike. After last season, I take back the laughter. Sam proved his worth without eichel and played "fine" at center. 2 things he needed to prove too me. ☝️

I'm guessing sam does end up on a playoff team...

Although Seattle is very likely IMO

here, i'll set the record straight for you and anyone else...


if i remember correctly, the debate was whether skunk was a driver of play or a high-end complimentary/passenger...as a right-winger playing with the likes of jack and ror for most of his career i stated he was the latter...which isn't far-fetched because both of those centers were the clear drivers of their lines...

also said his lack of upper-end speed doesn't allow him to be a driver of play as he's better suited to having the play unfold, such as trailing the play, working from around the net and/or along the boards, where he can use his top-end hockey smarts to their fullest...

i never discounted his skill as a passer or his hand/eye coordination but did take issue with his lack of determination in the scoring department...

i was of the belief that he and his skill-set would flourish while being properly slotted into a top-line/top-six role on another team with more talent surrounding him and drew a parallel to ror in st. louis...

he came on very strong the last two months and put together his best hockey as a sabre...

take it for what is

Friedman's appearance on the instigators. He was totally distracted and answering in one word answers for a minute and a half and then Peters said "do you want to go?"

He was working on Hakstol stuff but it was just odd

I tried to go listen to it, they removed that section from the rewind.

Lindholm, Tkachuk, Ritchie, Valimaki, Kylington and Ruzicka have all been discussed at points.

I'm thinking there are certain things at play here, namely Jack and Sam. I know if I were interested in that job, I'd ask those questions.

Luke r!chardson watch.

Why hasnt anyone connected luke to the pegula's and Sabres? They were very fond of him a few coaches ago and met with him.

Still in the playoffs- Sabres havent named a coach. 🤔

Wouldn’t mind that. Definitely feels like that’s holding up any impeding roster decisions.
