We just found out last night that Vegas is missing the playoffs. So to expect people not to do a bit of gloating barely 12 hours later, after everything Eichel said+did, I think is unrealistic.
And we still don’t even know for 100% sure we get the VGK 1st round pick until after the draft lottery. They only have a 0.5% chance of moving up but if they do we don’t get their draft pick this year.
So the Eichel saga isn’t even closed yet. I think more fans will move on once it’s officially behind us. But I don’t see anything wrong with fans getting their shots in today.
Well, here is what I actually posted
“While the Eichel shots here are understandable, It would be nice to see that fade away with a bit more time. “
Keep in mind too that trades take time to evaluate so you may not get the last laugh. Tage has shown that.
Gloat away! Enjoy the moment! Live your life around hopes for Jack’s misery, if you wish.
Based on replies I guess, for this group, I was wrong to point out that I thought we should start to move on. I am just of the opinion that failing to do so reflects poorly on Sabres fans. I could be wrong

Thanks Mr. Moral Highground,
Just my observations. Folks can just consider the source as silly, as I do with your posts.

Someone on this board thought the gloating after smacking the Patriots in the regular season rematch was extremely petty (after 20 years of Belichick running up the score on us) and lamented how boring it was to beat them convincingly. They were already hoping for the Pats to bounce back to competitiveness for a AFCE rivalry. I believe it was you.
Don’t think so. I have some beer aided posts around though so I asked you to refresh my memory. The post you reference does not sound like my sentiments of the Pats games so I am feeling more confident saying you are remembering wrong

Do you expect maturity here?
Another good point.

I think the shots at Eichole will wane as he matures, stops taking veiled shots at Buffalo in pressers and stops pouting on the ice.
So probably never.
It does take maturity to move on from a failed relationship. That’s a good point.

Weren't you the guy who was sick of having the Patriots as a "doormat" after we blew them out once in 20 years?
You would have to refresh my memory on that. I don’t recall that conversation

Bob, it’s still too fresh and we were all told how dumb and awful the Sabres were for mistreating Jack and getting fleeced I’m the trade. It feels really good to watch how the tide has turned and telling everyone to keep quiet about it is premature.
People will be evaluating Eichel and this trade for years.
Well enjoy then I guess. Seems petty to me but so does my ex. Different strokes for different folks.
-
With Vegas missing, the better draft pick is a nice bonus. While the Eichel shots here are understandable, It would be nice to see that fade away with a bit more time.
To my ears it is starting to sound like someone constantly slamming their Ex. The relationship is done, let’s consider moving on. Cash in that round 1 draft pick, keep progressing, and get our kicks from our team’s upcoming success.

I don't think the staff will have him on the field until his knee is ready....which I think week 1 he will be 100% by the opener. It'll be a solid 8 months since the surgery with the top medical/PT staffs. I've known several people who have had ACL surgery and they're usually 100% without any setbacks between 6-8 months.
Oh, he will have some issues, imo.
Anyway, I guess it is a ‘we will see’ but I hope you are absolutely right and he gets past it without serious problems.
-
Even if Tre is held back in preseason and ready to go week 1 of the season, the knee will almost certainly get tweaked at some point, will swell, and will require some time off. I have entirely too much experience with knee issues, including 3 acl tears. No, not one in each leg, smart guy
What would it cost us to trade with a non playoff contender for a rental CB that we promise to trade back before October 15th? Lol
-
Paying the stars obviously leaves little for the rest. I think the Bills mid tier depth and the special teams aces will have to go and we won’t lose as many of the name players as feared. This means we keep less talented depth players and will cut better players in favor of younger and cheaper depth

Please don’t let Dahlin teach anyone how to play defense. The guy is marvelous with the puck but his fundamental defensive skills should not be emulated. In fact maybe Power can teach Dahlin how to play better defense
-
I don’t follow the other teams close enough to know their CB’s but was hoping someone may...
With so many new coaching staffs around the league, I was wondering if there may be some promising 2-3 year vet CB’s that may now be in the ‘wrong’ defensive schemes AND may fit our defensive scheme well? Perhaps a later round draft pick could snag a promising CB on draft day if that team’s new regime got a better fit at CB in an early round?
Any hope there?

Thanks for the explantation. To offer an analogy, it was like I was just driving along in my Tahoe, minding my own business and you drove by in your Smart Car, honking your horn, waving your arms just to tell me my turn signal had been on for a few miles. I appreciate the attention, but the logistics of your delivery were off. It's like expecting a nice visit from UPS and some wannabe Amazon driver rolls over your foot in the driveway. Don't drive for Amazon, Bob. Just don't.
I'm still not sure what your concern is here. Members of the ruling political class of every stripe typically see a public approval rating of less than 30%. I saw a recent poll that suggested the dems had taken the dutch-oven approach to popularity and tanked to just over 20% with their take on leadership. They've certainly earned that.
The committee is pure theater. Nothing they say or do should be taken seriously, they cannot be trusted and it was the same when the Rs ran the show. I know this, Bob. I think you know this, Bob. I think Tibs knows this, Bob, but admittedly he's the wild card here.
What is it in this case that makes me one of the Entrenched? Here's what I think about 1/6:
- I didn't think the rally was a good idea. It had nothing to do with Dem, Inc they can pound sand. The way I saw it, the road to the mid-terms and retaking the White House started November 4. I saw nothing but downside holding a rally on inauguration day when trying to woo independents to the party moving forward;
- I supported, and support, the prosecution of wrong-doers who broke into the Capitol, fought with and/or assaulted the police. I've become a bit disillusioned with the process thereafter--seems to me at times due process is being trampled on, that people are being over-charged or over-punished. It seems to me that dem leadership, and liberal-minded folks who pay attention are perfectly comfortable with boots on necks when it comes to Washington, and exceedingly and perptetually anti-victim, anti-city and pro-perpetrator in every other city in the country. That bothers me.
- While I get the argument that the Capitol is representative of our democracy, I think when people are assaulted, victimized and killed while cities burn, it's incumbent on those in the seat of democracy to stand up and act on their behalf. That it came to their doorstep seems like a foregone conclusion given their inaction when it came to the doorstep of someone else.
- I don't understand how a ragtag bunch of malcontents and numbnuts were able to overrun the building in in less time than it will take me to get up, leave my desk, walk down the stairs and get coffee in my moderate yet luxurious downtown office in a small city in Upstate NY. It was like a scene pulled from "Olympus has Fallen". That needs to be addressed, the answers made public, and jobs lost over that debacle. When's that &^%$ being addressed?
- Ashley Babbitt seems to be the only person shot by a police officer in the last few years where precious few questions were raised by the folks who normally suggest things like "Shoot 'em in the foot" and "Pivot to a mental health discussion", and an almost pathological silence from major media outlets that normally scream about such things. That strikes me as odd, even though I feel like I understand why the officer shot her in the scenario.
- I can't, and won't, disregard the Russia investigation launched and prosecuted by the modern Dem party when considering the events of 1/6. It seems to me that those on the other side of the coin were completely comfortable with talk of treason, election meddling, illegitimate presidencies, wide-scale investigations, doors being kicked in and the like when it suited their political objectives. I think @Tiberius, and others, perhaps you included fall into that category.
When all is said and done, I think Trump followed the model previously established during a long and dark 4 year period in our nation's history. That, my friend, just seems to be the way the game is played. Many who liked it when done for them, now seem all jimmy-jacked when done to them.
So, bring me criminal charges against 45, bring me solid evidence of illegality and I'm happy to consider it. Absent that, it's theater for the simple minded. Oh, and somebody should tell Senator Teddy Raskin to stop combing his hair with a flip flop. He wreaks of villainous stoogery.
Lorne, I disagree with points all over your post but it would take me days to refute them all. How about we discuss a few of them and then if you want to discuss some of the above points further, you bring them back up?
To expect any Congressional hearing to not be political, is beyond naive Len. Being politically influenced does not make the hearing useless however. Were the Watergate hearings useless? Nixon’s involvement would never have been uncovered in a typical police investigation of the break in, imo. Just because political points are attempted in Congressional hearings does not invalidate the whole investigation. And of course, not all political wrongdoing worthy of halting would warrant criminal charges
You claiming facts are no longer real if stated by committee members, is about the most silly thing I have seen out of you. I think that is what got me to actually post the initial reply.

Trump most definitely suggested the election was stolen, pursued legal action to contest the stated results, and suggested he was the true winner of the race. Where we disagree is the part about "illegal measures" and the belief that any measure of truth is coming out of a political committee self-nominated to be arbiter of truth and justice.
Easy Carmen Electra, you shouldn't come storming into a conversation, making allegations about rational conversations and concessions without properly framing your argument. It's poor form.
What's got you all turnt up today? Leh-nerd is here to listen.
Thanks for being there, Len.
Oh, I often read some irrational post and pen a quick reply. Typically I come to my senses, ‘what is the point?’, and in the end I don’t send the reply. There are so many here (on both sides, btw) that are just way too dug in to concede anything. Textbook logic and argument will not get those entrenched to budge
On the other hand, you have typically been largely reasonable. When I read the quoted response a couple posts up, I was sort of surprised to see you adopting the half crazy logic of the entrenched.

I know I can’t trust anything that comes out of a political committee, or the words out of Senator Teddy Raskin’s mouth.
I do know that we’re 15 months post election and the sum and substance of your argument is “believe the senators!”. That’s foolishness. Like most sensible Americans, I know these people cannot be trusted.
Who the hell needs the Senate to tell you what happened? Man Lenny, your ability to rationally discuss and concede the truthful points has deserted you! Please tell me you are just yanking his chain here

Forget the clock.
Just cut a defenseman loose behind the shooter about 2 seconds after he crosses the center line.
Dangling leads to strangling.......
That’s an interesting idea but not gonna happen, eh? It would make the shootout more like the game though. I have understood instituting the shootout and it can show off some amazing individual skills but it certainly isn’t all that much like the game itself
Anyone else watching the college hockey tourney? Been some very entertaining games. Michigan has a couple of Sabre prospects to help the interest level too
Hopping between the college and pro hockey games on TV I found myself yelling at the Sabres to ‘hit that guy’. I know there is a playoff intensity that is not in the pro game but damn, I sure wish we followed through on our checks a whole lot more often
-
I hate that super slow crap too but if a Sabre did it and scored it would look a lot better
A simple shot clock could work. How many seconds would be appropriate?

I'm gonna guess the answer is probably no but I'll ask the question anyway.
For me I did not. A combination of commuting to college, large University, immaturity, social anxiety, and course load.
But maybe I'll be surprised what stories people come up with here.
Interesting question. I commuted from the Southtowns to UB in the later 70’s. There were about a half dozen folks I car pooled with over the time, most were high school acquaintances - to start.
The commute and the multiple poolers and the distance meant, outside of classes, I didn’t hang out at school. One arranged commuting partners with folks that had a similar time schedule for any given day. Outside of the occasional beer event, we headed home after last class.
Truth be told, today I know no one from the dorms at UB. On the other hand, most of my friends today were folks that I commuted with over the years back in the day.

Hey man, you’re welcome. Initially I thought it was a generational take but then you made me realize it was maturity
