She’s smart aggressive and very well prepared. Just ask beer boy Bret Kavanaugh, Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions.

She sucked her way to the top! They don't call her heels up Harris for nothing.
African Americans can't stand her and this was the worse pick Biden could have made. She offers nothing on the electoral map. She didn't even win a primary. The only time she had polled well is when she called Biden a racist bigot and said she believed the women who said Biden sexually assaulted them.

Athanasiou scored 11 goals in 55 games. Minus 46. But let's go with the "It's all Nylander's fault" narrative as to why the Leafs lost. Not every team can achieve the monumental success the Buffalo Sabres have.
- gergeswillems


Its not Nylanders fault, its not Tavares fault, its not Matthews fault, its not Marners fault, its not Andersons fault.

Damn Lou Lamoriello.

FWIW The Sabres have won far more series than the Leafs in the last 15 years.

Im sure she loves having her little boy home at 44 years old.

Hows Xbox going so far today?

Biden has zero chance of winning. None.

Picking her just cemented his loss.

Even Athanasiou got 2 seconds. Nylander is much better than he is.
- gergeswillems


Did he? Wow. Not gonna lie, I wouldn't have given up 2 seconds for him. And I really like the way he skates.

I actually think he may try... but the fallback will be I just didn’t get the offer I wanted.

Whereas I think Leafs may have to take A tiny bit less to fix what everybody sees as a glaring problem.

To do nothing it’s just not acceptable. This team has more than enough offensive fire power.
The problem has been and will continue to be in their own end.

the problem is that they always get out goalied.

Think he's angry that he got fired from this site.

Kinda like how the Sabres cut most of their organisation because they don't play a game for a year, Hockeybuzz cut it's dead weight.

- GreatGigInTheSky

He certainly is. 😂 Ek gave Garf his job back. But the Sabres fans figured him out. He's hiding behind the name "Mark Pino" on the Sabres blog.

When that blog first came up, it was listed under Garf's name but then it was quickly taken down. 5 minutes later it's listed under "Mark Pino." This is Garf's Latino alt. 😂

Totally agree!
Didn't think he had a chance in the first place. The pick of Harris is almost like throwing in the towel.

if dubas does nothing, he needs to be fired.
If shanny doesnt fire him after that, shanny needs to be fired.
This 40 million in 4 players isnt working.
I can some small moves being made, I don't believe dubas has the stones to move willie or marner.
But I could be wrong, we'll see

- Fakepartofme


I think a big part in this is there has to be a deal there.

You can't lose a trade because you want to shake things up.

I’m predicting no huge trades will happen & Dubas will keep the big 3 & Willy.
Patch up the D & try it for another season.
It will put Dubas on the hot seat.

- Nighthawk


Dubas is already on the hot seat... simply because he did or tried to do exactly what you describe last summer....

and failed miserably - Barrie acquisition fail, Ceci acquisiton fail, having a boner for defenseman that can't defend and are too small to handle simple boxing out effectively.

Dubas IS on the hot seat. He doesn't get another season "of sandbox"... a genius would not consistently make the same error

Garf, do you use pledge when you wipe all the dust from the Sabres empty trophy case?

Have you seen the Sabres roster? I am sorry but it is the least desirable roster in the NHL other than the Red wings. It sucks to be a Saber fan right now and it will be for a very long time.

I enjoy watching my leafs, they are a good team and have exciting players to watch.

Great take. Although, it was hard to understand with Trump's balls in your mouth.

Then how do you explain you and Jack playing "Frogger" on your Atari2600 at Sabres training camp?

Please explain, Garf.
- gergeswillems


Garf is still sad that his trade idea from right after they drafted Snipeshow didn't happen.

I'll paraphrase, since I don't remember the exact words and I don't overly wanna go look for it.

"No Leafs fans. You will no be geting Samson Reinhart for Nylnder. Yuo can expect Gerginsons and a D prospect"

(Spelling mistakes included. Disappointed that I couldn't get "teh" into the sentence, though. )

Maybe he's posturing to not get traded? Or he forgot that next season is gonna be another short season?

Let me ask you this, Garf... Would Ken Holland take Nylander straight up for Athanasiou right now? Keep in mind AA is a RFA. Holland would take that trade and run away laughing.

Question for Leaf fans... would you trade Willy Nylander for Andreas Athanasiou?

- gergeswillems

I wouldn't trade Marner for Nylander, but I would trade them both.

You're really showing your lack of hockey knowledge Garf. Keep going. It's absolutely hilarious! 😂
- gergeswillems


I don't know Gerges... I'm not really laughing... I'm more confused. Don't know whether the hockey rantings or the political commentary are poor attempts at trolling or just the rantings of Sabres fan who spent too much time in "lock-down" without a GM to scream at...

odd either way

And my point isn't so much about AA being elite as it is about Nylander being a soft perimeter player that wont go into tough areas and floats defensively. BUT....gets to play with elite centerman

I know you're not talking about the league leader is net front goals like that.

Remember the Latvian Locomotive and FREAKORENKO? What ever happened to "they call him Snipeshow around these parts?" Sabres must've lacked Murrency and Botcoin. They didn't get the 5 premium pieces or treasure trove of assets for Evander Kane. And here I thought GMTM always gets his man?
