never saw a single episode, never felt like I was missing anything

If you have seen one episode, you have seen them all. I think its one of the shows people watch because of hype, not because it is actually good.

Out of curiosity what makes you think that? Not being an ass, but the kid certainly seems to have effort when he plays. Just wondering what lead you to that.

Bailey has been in the sabres system since Darcy drafted him.
He shows flashes on occasion, but really can't stay consistent.
He turns 23 in July, it's pretty much now or never
2 goals and 2 assists in 40 nhl games, not exactly eye popping.

Also jbotts has his own guys ready for spots

Kris Baker was a huge Reinhart fan too. Sometimes titles/positions supersede the person. What was his background before he rose to prominence anyway? Basement amateur hockey player watcher?
- GilPerreault11


That's it. He appears to be just a guy who saw a niche he could exploit in that Sabres fans didn't really have a way of finding out how prospects were doing in juniors and overseas, so he began doing the research and brought it together on a website he started. Nothing more, nothing less, certainty not a scout of talent anymore than anyone else here.

It was a fun premise, but the height of the show IMO was the governor. Everything after that has been repeated to death. In seven years of the show, there hasn't been one new thing regarding what is going on in the rest of the world. It's caught in a loop in a tiny part of the country. For a show with such great ratings and access to money, you would think they would think bigger.

That's probably a function of the source material though.

Eh... Fasching was the main peice we got in that trade. Do you mean he will be a throw in for a future trade?
- sbroads24



Murray was not good at making hockey decisions. He was building a "western conference team" with heavies.

Jbotts likes speed: check out the penguins and baby pens

Although Armia has played decent, he was considered a "throw in". Basically a former 1st round pick who couldn't make the big club.

Jbotts is going to want his guys in both buffalo and rochester

Fashing is the same as bailey and baps.
No scoring means they aren't doing anything.

Carl is dead and Negan is basically a white supremacist.

There are many things that have gone wrong with the writing of this show, but that it's no longer in a tiny part of the country is a big one. Rick and the gang are from Atlanta, Negan and surviors from Virginia, that's thousands of square miles between. Are we to believe that a few hundred people that make up the show can't coexist in that much area? you would think they would have never even met one another.

Societal values are weird. The south park episode nailed it. Pictures of men who abused 14 year old female students has a totally different vibe
- jcragcrumple


Sure it does,
But that doesn’t make it any more right for a woman to do the same
Just doesn’t “appear” as creepy

Seriously, if most people are dead, just pack your sh*t up and drive 100 miles away from your crazy neighbor who you hate

Exactly. And, that's the thing, they already are hundreds of miles away from one another, Atlanta and Virginia, they should never meet up with one another.

Time to turn the page on Bailey. Some (very few) flashes of potential but really in the last couple of years anyone with a bit of speed looked promising on our team

If we can string together a little 7 game undefeated streak and play with some hearth like we have done in the past couple on a consistent basis, there will be nothing left to talk (rant) about
