she may never be back

I hope they can figure what to do without her, she was the glue for the team the last ~ 12 years.

I hope so, but I'm not so sure it will.

Savoie will be a big decision next camp. Some others could be knocking on the door, but KA's history says he'll slow play those.

Who do you think he could beat out? What is the big decision at camp for him?

Jiri Kulich and Filip Cederqvist are “day to day,” according to Seth Appert. Priority is making sure they’re healthy for training camp, so the Sabres will be cautious.

So the DOW Jones is your benchmark for future economic activity? Because it is not that at all. The Dow is just one of many economic indicators. The stock market is not a reflect of the entire economy and its not even close. You might be right but your justification for your opinion is way off.
- Bufsaints8


Does the Dow Jones generally react to several or more of the economic indicators
- unemployment rate
- inflation rate
- price indexes
- consumer confidence rates
- consumer spending
- durable goods orders
- Interesst Rate, Fed Mtg Notes
- Home Sales
?

It's quite hysterical, the world would be in a better place with Trump still President.

Russia would have never attacked Ukraine, inflation would not be outta this world, America wouldn't be digging its own grave, still might be some comedic gold in politics

- DirtyDan


Can't possibly be true, Trump is a "deplorable", therefore the country was horrible under his administraation.
Listen to MSM more.

Next year. He still won't be eligible for the AHL, so it's a tougher decision.

It's part of Peyton's new Podcast network "Omaha". While it's under ESPN's brand name umbrella, I believe it operates independently.

My bet is Savoie makes his way to 1C by the end of '23-'24 sseason.
The Q in my mind is who his linemates are.

Power Plaay
The vast majority of teams plaay a 1-3-1 system

The First "1" is usually an offensive Dman who is primarily a puck distributor, but should have a decent shot with high propensity for getting the shot through...Dahlin fills the bill just fine

The three "3" 's are the umbrella:
•LW is a right shot on the half wall with a boomer of a shot...Tage has been there
•High-slot is normally a R handed forward, who can accept passes from the L corner on put on net accurately aand quickly ...Cozens and Tuch aware solid options
•RW is a left shot, positioned for 1-timers in the circle and who can win battles down low in the corner and feed the R-handed High-slot player ... Olo is perfect here, Krebs is also an option for his set-up capabilities

The last "1" is down low and in front of the net, a guy who can withstand physical punishment and takeaway the eyes of the Goalie and also tip shots....Tuch seems like a natural here.

Therefore, my thought is
PP1
•High 1=Dahlin
•3LW = Tage
•3HiSlot = Cozens
•3RW = Olo
•Low1 = Tuch

Of course, someone will suggest Gus for all 5 positions... he works hard and has like a 0.0000001 shot percentage

How to Get Autographs From Professional Hockey Players
Ice Hockey Players
Receiving an autograph from a professional ice hockey player is not only one of the biggest thrills a passionate fan can get, but also adds value to the item being signed. Most players are happy to lend a moment of their time to add their signature to an item. The key is to be respectful, kind and persistent.

Games and Practices
The best place to get autographs is at a game or a team practice, when all of the players are nearly guaranteed to be there. At a game, stand near the team's bench before and during warmups and approach a player or team aide when appropriate. If you are looking to get an autograph after the game, stand near the player's exit to the arena --after checking with security to make sure that it is acceptable -- and wait for players to exit the building. At an open practice, find out from the facility where it is acceptable to approach players to request an autograph. Your local team may also hold other events with players, including meet and greets, fundraisers and carnivals.

Memorabilia Shows
Sports memorabilia shows often feature player appearances, where athletes sign autographs for a fee. Seek out these shows if you cannot get to a game. These events often require you to wait in line for an extended period of time, but are one of the best chances you have of getting an autograph from your favorite player.

Out In Public
The best method to get a player's attention when seeing them out in public is to politely and respectfully greet him, and then ask if he is willing to sign your item. Only bring one item, as players get annoyed when a fan shoves multiple objects in their face, asking for each one to be signed. Remember that they are doing you a favor by signing your item, and show respect and appreciation for the time they take to grant your request.

Written Requests
Most professional hockey teams have instructions on their website detailing exactly how they handle autograph requests. One approach is to hand-write a nice letter to the organization requesting an autograph from your favorite player. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope so the player can return your item to you. Be as polite and respectful as possible to maximize your chances of getting a positive response.

Pretty sure uncle ion was kidding in regards to girgs and the pp.

Everyone knows how valuable he is 5 x 5 , why eat up his minutes on the pp? 😉
