Im not so sure about that... ?

Thoughts and Prayers with Kyle Peko’s wife as well as everyone here battling this terrible disease. I really feel for you all. Best wishes!

Shaq putting the moves on! the guy yelling “oh ****” made me lol

Josh is definitely an easy kid to root for.

I am really liking what I’ve seen of this guy so far. I like the energy he brings.

Antonio Brown arrived at Raiders camp in a hot air balloon.

Good point. I forgot how close to the cap they are after signing MoJo.

The arbitrator can pick whatever amount he wants. I believe you are thinking of baseball where iirc the arbitrator picks one of the 2 offers. But in NHL arbitration the arbitrator sets whatever amount he feels is right. The sabres press release even says it was the arbitrators ruling - Because ERod is the one who filed, the Sabres got to pick the term -> 1 or 2 years. And the Sabres could only walk away from the ruling if the arbitrator set a salary above $4 or $4.5M (or something like that). Edit - here’s a link explaining the NHL arbitration process if you’re interested https://www.dkpittsburghsports.com/2019/07/06/nhl-salary-arbitration-rules-faq-aston-reese-tlh/

Seems kind of dumb that they didn’t settle at $2M x 1yr before the arbitration hearing seeing as the ruling landed exactly where pretty much everyone expected it to land when it came out that the Sabres were at $1.5M and ERod at $2.65M. Also, Im guessing the reason that the Sabres chose a 1 year term is that he is a UFA in 2 years time.

Sheary thanked him too. I found that interesting. I can’t really remember seeing that happen too often (but maybe I just haven’t paid close enough attention...).

Interesting idea. Especially with how flag happy some refs are with the holding calls. And also, I have to say that I already like this Marcel guy better than Rodak! lol

I like the camera angle in those 2 highlight videos posted so far (Allen to Jones, poyer breakup). It made it easy to see Allen going through his reads. Looked like he got to (at least) his 2nd read on both plays.

Just came across this video - https://www.buffalobills.com/video/coming-soon-buffalo-bills-training-camp (Sorry, don’t know how to embed from the Bills site) it’s titled “Coming Soon: Buffalo Bills Training Camp”. Not sure if it’s a continuation of the embedded series or not, but I’m excited to see it either way!

So it looks like the Sabres and ERod went through with the arbitration hearing. They can still come to an agreement before the arbitrator rules. Hopefully whatever happens it doesn't sour the relationship between him and the team. But I’m not going to lose sleep over it if it does.

So sorry to hear this. I went through something similar with my malamute and it’s terrible. My condolences.

Welcome to buffalo Maddy!

I’m assuming this is what he’s talking about getting backlash for in his rant video.

I really hope so! That would be awesome.

I didn’t realize erod’s fancy stats were so good. (not sure I agree that he’s better than Kevin Labanc though)
