The thing I don't understand is how everyone who doesn't like or whom criticizes Trump, is attacked with imagery of the opposition and "dirt" on opposing candidates, as if that automatically qualifies me as a fan of the other party's nominee?

All of them are creeps, all of them are liars, all of them live better than us and don't give a hoot about us, they are gross and dirty people with gross and dirty pasts, and I hope all of them choke endlessly on their dinner tonight.

A bunch of old, out of touch PEOPLE; It doesn't matter if they're white or men, they don't want us to have anything nice and they keep people brainwashed into believing in them and the corrupt system, and everyone knows it's corrupt yet so many continue to take part in the facade...

Ya'll just want to be a part of something.

For what it's worth, a friend low in the scouting dept said Sabres working on a big package move including Miller, another D, prospect and picks... Vegas and Fla mentioned as possibilities, but nothing more could be shared.

I like this post. I like this post because it points out that neither party or candidate of said party is a good choice.

There is a saying, all politics is local. This past November in my election district, 90% (?) of the candidates were cross party endorsed. The only race I recall that wasn't was for County Exec.

If all politics is local and the local races are cross-endorsed, why is it so divisive at the National level? Oh, that's right, it is because they ALL are money-chasing, money-grubbing pieces of excrement!

Can’t go through another coaching change.

And

That contract is unmovable at this point.



It’s a real pickle.

Thanks for sharing. Hope they can actually make a deal that helps now and the future.

This sounds more like an off season type of trade rather at the deadline.

teams calling for larsson and girgens

botts is sitting on his hands

- homiedclown

am of the opining that botts should do two things:

--ship out either risto or Montour (thinking risto will be the one to go)
--ship out larry or frolic

that's all I got right now

This is a sad report card for a GM in his 3rd year with the Team.

Just sayin...

Another GM coming in may change that but, how many more times do you do this ? the cycle just keeps getting worse. 5 Head coaches since Lindy I think, 2 GM's, if Botterill makes moves who the hell know's what will happen. Another GM comes in and starts all over again because of Murray being told to "speed this up" and then Botterill wanting to "build" unlike the guy he learned from in Pittsburgh who only care about the " now " and " this year." This whole thing is pretty sad.

imo you kick ralph up into an oversight role and bring in another head coach...i'd have been on the phone with gallant the moment he got fired

Is there any truth at all to teams just getting better by playing in the same system? People say it all the time but has anyone ever done a study on it? It seems like it would be exactly the opposite.

The only thing pegs could do to save face is move Ralph upstairs to be the poho. Keep botts in place and call gallant. Or Lavi. Or Lindy. Or teddy.

If he “promotes” Ralph he isn’t hiring a poho, he’s “promoting” and employee... so saves face there.

If pegs cleans house, he looks bad and will hire another weak, inexperienced gm. And the cycle continues!

If he stands pat with Ralph and botts, it’s the same reshuffling of the deck chairs on the titanic. Skinner gets more upset and it starts to filter through the room and by the end of next season, multiple players lose their love for the game and we are giving Seattle a first to take skinner off our hands...

Gm - Botts
Hc - Gallant or Lavi or Lindy or Teddy

Should’ve paid through the nose and drafted Tkachuk. Said it that night and I’ve never swayed on the thought.

It is in a matter of perspective.

#1 Point, you could and they might.

#2 Point, This shouldn't be an issue. It's a 2 part problem. (a) Your 3rd year GM should have had an action plan in the offseason to get a legitimate #2C, someone paid $7-9 to play with him. (b) The coach should have a plan to get your $9M player going again.

That's how I see it.
