Damn, great suggestion. Thank you!

As Rome burns....

Damn that’s funny stuff. When is Freddy going in the wall? i own zero jersey, have always thought If/when I get one, will be a Freddy jersey

Am I missing something? Does this “ highest rated safety since 2017” mean the same thing as “ highest rated last year”?

damn..i have not heard the term elliiot wave in so long..good stuff!!1

i would prefer no picks obviously, but i would throw in a 1 if it took that. I like Vatanen i think more than @K-9 does ...Risto does have some offensive skills but the other team is still expected to score more.when he is on the ice 5v5

BTW, way, way off topic.....but i forgot to send to you. Month ago Richie justice on the Kornheiser podcast was gushing about the new GM for the Orioles...and how smart dude is and expecation they be back to winning soon. Still got a soft spot in my heart for the O's

only when you are wrong..so almost 100% of the time? In this case, I agree. I have been off the Risto train for a long long time..going back to the 2nd year under Disco Dan when i really starting getting into advanced numbers. His possession rates and and his Corsi for and against were apparent back then..i distinctly remember the fellas wining like 3 of 4 games he was injured and did not play...was not a coincidence. But in the "who says no" in that trade scenario...it is clearly NJ...throw in next years #1..maybe closer

Thing i took from that is Avs not giving up #16 for Kreider..i kinda like him..thought maybe the Sabres could get him with #31 and a throw in at the draft..wonder what it takes now?

God bless ya Buftex. I still have DVDs you sent me of some great early 80's game, especially the Rams conga line game. Just the other day i wanted to watch that game and realized i no longer have any cpability..last DVD player went out the door in an attic clean up about 6 months ago?

Wow. Wish I was smarter is all I can say! Crazy how this thing swings on momentum.

Yep, right down at the bottom again!!!! and no good doubleheader days with he Bills to compensate for it!

Thought i would post in here as a heads up. I have never used these guys, but htey claim top be 13% -15% cheaper than stubhub. https://www.southtownstickets.com/

nice littel chart here

That stinks..last year there were so many! I ma Man, why in the world would he take that? I mean if you ever needed a case for collusion, there it is. I could see $6Mx4...but not 8. Prolly to hard to get that third rounder back for them just to poach their RFA.....but man i hope we see some offer sheets this year

yea, it started when Loveland sold to Premium here in VA. I know the family who owned Loveland...and from what the rumor is he got the proverbial offer he could not refuse in terms on the amount of money. I dont really understand the whole dispute, but has something to do with Reyes..who owns Premium..think this goes back a ways with Reyes and Bells. BTW, heading to some friends house for vacation next week, whats the deal with hardly any can beer in Cali????

I have heard the opposite from some people I know in the beer business a bit..they have said Bud has been pretty hands off at Goose and Devils Backbone in terms of the beer..marketing and distribution are obviously a whole nother thing!!! One of my earliest craft discoveries, and still one of my favorites..despite not being in a can!!!!

The 15-16 played at a 96 point pace post all star break. The 16-17 team was 2 points out of a playoff spot entering their bye in Early February , and then pooped the bed and the coach and GM were fired for underachieving. Two years and 3 offseasons later, I am told doing that exact same thing standings wise should be seen as progress. I will say JBotts knows how to underpromise like a champ, be nice if he could over deliver for a change. And @K-9, I don’t recall Scandella saying that, interesting as in his first year said too many guys okay with losing.. seems the “ culture” got to him.

So why in the world should I have faith in Jbotts?You are saying he needs 4 off seasons to make a team who was competing for a playoff spot well into February when he got here into a playoff team? This guy better deliver, and this year, or he sadly will be gone too, for good reason. This is his roster , and his 2nd coach. not Murray’s anymore. Having said that, I do think coaching will make a big difference, the numbers did not suggest the Sabres should have been as bad as they were, but another 83 point performance and this dude needs to be gone

I don't remember that that all LOL...but that's not shocking at my age...I was watching the Bills Dolphins from last year and totally forgot some dude named Darr was punting for the Bills that day...never could have guessed that in a 1000 years

Who the hell knows. Whole bunch of guys no one outside of scouts have ever seen play , but some folks will tell you what mistakes were made and where based on some analysts take on what another analyst gleaned from Central scouting report. I do know that as of right now, 99% chance the team still sucks?!!!( actually i am encouraged the new coach can get that same group competitive as long as Sobotka is in the AHL or KHL)

i will have to try one of those... funny how beer geeks and small brewery owners get all pissed when one of their brethern get bought by a giant..but seems to me most of these places are still turning out great beer..like above

1) I want to be your portfolio manager cause plan seems more important than results too you? 2) Some of us knew the winning streak was a fluke early..and kept saying this coach is a joke who consistently uses his personnel wrong..but we heard from this GM how important it would be to be playing meaningful games in March...yep we saw how that worked out. Having said that, the Sabres started a mile race at the half mile mark and all they had to do was finish .500 to make the playoffs...and yet this supposed brainy GM did not do anything..and i mean anything, to take advantage of the lead he was given in the race. But he waits to the end of the year to say this coach just cant get it done, when every metric told you that even to us idiots. Dude was playing 17 3rd most forward minutes, staring him in OT..and then people are upset 17 did not get a buyout???? I mean cmon, it was obvious...I need a guy who is proactive..not reactive as he seems to be. 3) You say the organization was a mess when JBOTTs got here..and yet he has done nothing but make it worse through 2 seasons..going on a 3rd offseason. I mean letting Mitts burn a year of the ELC is prolly a firable offense on its own, So lets do this..you tell what your definition is for success next year...I can tell you mine. Its freaking playoffs or this guy prolly needs to be gone. Getting back to where they were when he got after 3 years is not successful in my mind..

Man John, you are going to have to tell me how you know these things about Kreuger. And i thought Housley was a good coach who just did not have players..And Botteril was a very intelligent guy with a "plan"...but watched a first place team slide/free fall to bottom, and the folks like me who said this guy is awful fire him and you labeled as impatient and impulsive....but said coach now fired and new guy should improve the team greatly ?????..I just get lost in the logic....and I am somehow supposed to have faith in the GM why????? This organization is still a mess, have a bad bad feeling JBOTS is now gunna be gun shy on any trade, and I know..be patient and you just wait till all the kids develop in 4 years the Sabres make their playoff run... This guy is on his 3rd offseason..and he has 2 last place finishes to his name in my mind ..and mind you with inherited talent that was in a playoff race in February the year he arrived..The team has regressed tremendously since he arrived, there just cannot be any question about that. And he best not be preaching patience..and he better hope and pray this new dude can coach up "his" players... and oh, BTW, i would love to be your portfolio manager
