Dan Girardi working 1-on-1 with Power. Good to hear he's still in the fold

He was such a grinder for NY. Great pro.

we all wanted the best when the sabres drafted eichel


so there is some form of common ground

in 19-20, I honestly thought eichel turned a corner, at least on the ice
you could see the hard work finally at both ends


oh well


now we get to embrace tuch, krebs and a future 18 year old

- homiedclown

Exactly, embrace them and it seems a different atmosphere around the team.

Vegas has a better chance to catch the Kings than they do the Preds or Stars

That is the race to look out for

Vegas is only down 3 points to LA each with 5 games remaining

- Stripes77


This is one of my favorite tools:

http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/Western.html

Has Vegas at 18.3% chance to makes the playoffs, 13% chance to catch the Kings.

Van has a slightly better chance at 19.3%.

Fun race.

Essentially exactly what Delaware North does but with their own flair so to speak. They run all the concessions and promotional activities for the cowboys stadium and Yankee stadium. I believe they also do some very high end soccer stadiums in England. It's going to be how the Pegulas and New York State separate from Delaware North over the political connection to the governess. There was never anything wrong with Delaware North, but I think legends is a more high end company. It's a nice brick in the wall of argument that the bills are going to have a really 1st class building

Agreed and if I remember rightly he signed after the season had already started. Granato has spoken of how he works with Dahlin all the time. It isn't a coincidence he signs and there are "turn around" articles being written about our boy a couple months later.

The Buffalo Sabres just emailed a rather extensive fan experience survey. Must be making plans for the new Arena in the old Perry Projects they negotiated with the Governess.

it blows my mind that any one player would demand a coach to remove another player from his line. i would need to see it to believe it.

like I can understand it under certain circumstances, for both players to maybe approach a coach and say hey, this isn't working, we're losing, can we try something else.

But to habitually just say no I don't want him with me, on many occasions, is just insane. Especially if those reasons are selfish.

Him and Skunk were lovers and the third wheel guy was the occasional "we split a dude in half" story for a few weeks.

I don’t know.

What I do know if half the things said about Eichel are exaggerated to the fullest extent and it was fully predictable

That’s why Paul Hamilton has already had to apologize for making things up about him that never happened

- sbroads24

Or, there are influential and wealthy Billionaires that own our sports franchises and everyone bends over for those people in the Buffalo media and he was dragged through the mud?

or a lot of the times its fanfare?

Eichel was a Richard and not a role model at all.

But some of this stuff i have heard in the past 3 months from "Guy who knows a guy who...." its laughable

- ImThatGuy

I mean. That's literally how 90% of people in America got their jobs. From a guy who knows a guy. And what do we know about people? They tell everyone everything they know about other people.

Let's not act like we don't all do it. My friend tells me he banged a broad in the ass? I tell my wife. She tells her friends. Her friends tell their friends. Next thing you know he's like "Dude who did you tell?"

Come on.

He said the commercial Eichel /Allen did together, Allen had to carry the entire thing (I believe that) and that Eichel was such a wiener Allen told his people he’d never do that again with him.

Within 10 minutes he was back on air retracting his story

- sbroads24

Because he made it up? Dude you're such an Eichel apologist it's ridiculous at this point.

I dk why, but that sounded crazy to me but you were right.

Dec 3 2020 Girardi hired
March 27 2021 Granato promoted

You think they both talked smack about Ralph behind his back?

I don't know how Granato didn't flip, totally different aspects to the game.
