Romo was solid his first year then stopped giving a crap and has been half assing it ever since.

Greg Olson actually cares

- Swedish_Jesus

I don't think Olson has the big analyst contract yet either.

That's the angle you are sure of? They should the others on tv and none of them had a view that definitively showed. You need to take a knee. WRONG.

However, you are right as you parrot the refs.

Yes

Playing devil's advocate, what would indicate that then? Wouldn't Ottawa paying a 1st and (2) 2nds, while being lower in the standings, indicate that what Adams said was around their asking price?

For what it's worth 89 said it's inflated as well, so you're probably right. I just am not sold based on what Ottawa actually paid, a 1st and a prospect isn't far off anyways.

That angle doesn't prove anything.

The other angle along the sideline that they showed did not prove it hit his helmet either.

Gene said it looked like a fumble recovery and they got it wrong.

- kingcong39


So, correct me if I'm wrong...
The call on the field was it was a fumble out of bounds right?
Was there conclusive evidence to show it did not touch his helmet?...or was it, there was no conclusive evidence to show that it did not touch his facemask?
Looked to me it was the former rather than the latter.
But who gives a poop...Go Bills!!

Well from what I Heard they Wanted Samuelsson included in the package and that was a No at that Time.

Idk, would you like to revisit this each January for the next 7 years ?

Nobody argued Hellebuyck as an elite goalie right now.

The issue was always term.

- Swedish_Jesus

Why would we need to revisit it every year?

The mental gymnastics you do to avoid ever being wrong (you are) is impressive

So what was the deal Adams made for Chick-fil-A?
I'm curious to know...not that I really wanted him

So that is what they "demanded". ... Doesn't answer what Adams offer was. All he said that I remember was he thought his offer was better than what Ottawa "won" with.

I don't know what Adams offered, but I heard Ottawa wanted a 1st Samuelsson and another pick or Decent prospect from us.

I did hear Sammy got his tires checked by AZ too, so maybe that was a counter after we refused the higher price? I dk. Wish I could've been a fly on the wall for those talks.

Interesting statistics

Buffalo Sabres: +2,029 fans/game (14.9 percent increase)

The Sabres might be near the bottom when it comes to capacity, but they are certainly moving their way up when compared to last season’s numbers.

In December 2022, the Sabres were dead last in NHL attendance (13,634) and capacity (71.5 percent). This year, they’ve managed to slide past Anaheim, Winnipeg and San Jose in average attendance and out of the basement in that category. And being one of four teams to boast an increase of at least 2,000 fans per game is tangible evidence things appear to be headed in the right direction in this area.

Buffalo has still had three games with sub-14,000 crowds this season, so they’re not entirely out of the woods yet. But after missing the playoffs by a single point last year, the market has proven they are simply starving for a playoff-caliber squad on the ice. Enduring a 12-year postseason drought means that any criticism for low attendance should be lobbed at the organization — not the fan base.

It's to bad that it's not Sabres fans helping with the increase.
