And condemning Hunter without mentioning the nonsense done by the Trump kids is any different?

The crap pulled by the Trumps is far, far worse than anything Hunter Biden has done, no question.
LOL this world sometimes is right.
- LandlordTom

I never condemned hunter I actually said he was awesome.

It's just how he does business. He uses every inch of leverage he has and expects the person on the other side to do the same.

It's not typically how things have been done in hockey, but his belief is that when it comes to this type of stuff, business is business.

it's the same as his "most front office people are created equal" thing.
- BINGO!

And of course, as of an hour ago, they just overhauled the financial side of the front office, apparently lol

Hank where the dylan guenther report at ?

I think you will like him complete player The only flaw I have for him is he doesn't play center.

It's coming. Part of me wanted to wait to do a series on the perceived "second tier" of prospects under the assumption that the Sabres will pick up another top-10er here somehow. Cong here really likes Guenther.

I started watching some Eklund tape as well

I disagree that he's awesome, but whatevs.

You said if he were on the other side, Democrats would be jacking off to him now, which I also disagree with.

And you did say Kamala telling folks to not come here was as bad as political assasination. Sorry if I was a little perplexed.

Unlikely. it's just Dundon's philosophy of playing hardball with everyone at all times. End of the day he's going to do whatever he needs to do to make Rod stay, but they're going to try and get everyone for as cheap as they possibly can.
- BINGO!

Sara Civian is absolutely convinced he's not leaving. But I am also certain Kevyn Adams checked in.

Oh I'm sure everyone with an opening called. You'd be stupid not to at least try.

I understand it is how he chooses to do business.

It will wear thin as that methodology always does.

Pretty much, he's a fantastic coach plus his associate coaches.

Vegas wants Eichel badly, win or lose.

Also, Eichel will be gone before next season begins.

You know all this?

Friedman was right, probably, on the Jax coaching search. Portzline says they're close to naming their guy and says Brad Larsen, their current assistant coach, is the front runner.

Interesting that they don't choose Gallant. Wonder if he lands in NY.

Yeah, I have some experience with this. My sister found out a few years ago she is 100% Native American. Her biological Mom was forced to put her up for adoption, but with the condition that the adopting family (us) would not be told a thing about her heritage. My parents got her at age 8 months, but if she had not been adopted she would've been sent to one of those prison-like boarding schools. There was one in western NY (I have a client who is on the board of directors of Native American Services). Her biological Mom ended up killing herself later, her biological Father was persecuted around here so bad he moved to Mexico, and my sister still identifies as a Polish girl from Depew but is a member of the Cayuga tribe. I've met some of her cousins and an Aunt and they are all very nice people.

So, the point is, Hunter goddam Biden using the N***a word in an email to someone who obviously did not mind (as was reported by an untrusted tabloid) is such a small blip on the racism radar, but some folks want him crucified because...whatever.

Yikes. Anyone that uses the N word is a racist. And a scum.

who would have thought risto would outlast eichel and reinhart as a sabre

Guess EK didn't get the memo from Friedman

Guy is an Absolute sniper and play maker would be nice with cozens .

Well if EK has this, HE GONE!!

I think he may start the season as a sabre


the other 2, they gone

this

In the interest of switching from hate-politics to hate-analytics, there was a study performed a few years ago which outlined the following:

How long would postseason series need to be in NFL, MLB and NHL to match the NBA's "better team advances" rate of 80%?

NFL would be best of 11
NHL would be best of 51
MLB would be best of 75

These numbers were created studying thousands of games through multiple seasons from every team. We all know how random hockey results can be. Even the Buffalo Sabres won 15 times and they were dog poop. Didn't mean they were the better team, analytically or otherwise. Plus, teams seem to adopt different styles in the playoffs, where those specific analytics of those teams really don't exist when they players literally play differently. So you can go into a playoff series that says, well, Tampa has a 60% chance of winning against Columbus, watch Columbus play differently than they did during the regular season, and sweep the Lightning.

This isn't gospel, but I find it to be pretty interesting.

I can't see why you would keep him unless theres no real offers. All 3 of them want out of here badly.

Imagine playing almost half a season for 1 series


or in the other 2 cases MORE than half a season

I wonder what it would be if you bumped that 80% down to 51%. That still offers a majority chance that the better team advances.

Then again, why the (frank) do you always want the better team to advance? (frank) that. I love that Montreal curb stomped the Laffs, and the Islanders shoved their poop down the Bruins' necks.

That tracks. The NFL and NBA are sports where one dominant key player can take over a game.


Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani are two of the best players in baseball and their team is chronic dishwater

Ohtani especially is amazing to watch and I don't even like baseball that much

Problem with baseball is that it comes down to 1 player. If your pitcher stinks your probably losing
