I promise I’m not Tony Romo’s burner account.

He seems to agree with my football takes though.

It’s uncanny like the X-men.

Don't ruin Tony Romo for me like that.

I'm more worried about facing Indy and Tennesee than Kansas City at this point but let's be real, they're probably still going to finish 15-1.

I still fail to understand why "illegal block in the back" is a penalty. Blindside block? Okay. But a block behind the play shouldn't matter and it negates big plays every single time, when the block in question usually has no impact on the play itself.

The montour trade and how they have handled him, has been kinda bizarre.

I think he's been unhappy from the minute he was traded from Anaheim.

Local guy. I see his family at the games a few times.

Ullmark - good, sabre next year
Ullmark - not good, not sabre next year

I'll sound like homie here, but tpegs likes ullmark 😉

I don't see it quite that cleanly. They've been cheap with him on 2 straight deals. It might not be that easy to keep him from checking out UFA. It's in his best interest.

Also, I don't expect a big leap in his play. I expect another decent year from him. This organization just can't make decisions. JB was bad about it, so far, KA is worse.

It's easy to keep Ullmark. Just overpay him in dollars and term just like they did Girgensons because Terry likes him.

Ullmark is a slightly larger Enroth.

We need a goalie. That's it.

Terry pegula in the embedded episode said if we sign hall. We are going for a cup.

So ..... they need a goalie and should get one. Pay up

Cozens 🙌
- Fattony1187


Cozens played fine. Canada just kicked the poop out of Germany.


Let’s see him vs some good teams.


Not at all hating on cozens. He had a good game. I just want to see better competition.

The score was what 16-2 or something

His performance good or bad I’m not going to harp over. He’s shown enough over the course of 2 years to show he’s going to be a top 6 forward in the NHL

Just don’t get hurt.

I still am not certain he’ll end up as a Center in the NHL though.

He had 3 scoring chances last night on a terrible Austria team where he has to do everything himself.

Quinn plays on an All-star team and Ray Ferraro on a dozen occasions last night on the TSN broadcasts mention the talent coming through the Sabres system and specifically mentioned Cozens, Peterka, and Johnson (during the U.S game) not a single mention of Quinn.

Let's hope his league plays so he can get in some hockey this season. I assume he could play in the tourney next year, but not positive...hopefully he becomes a major factor then.

Good post 👍completely agree*

Although: if Ullmark has a really good year, maybe he stays because the Sabres are competitive and winning?

If he's all world, all the sudden, and the franchise guy, you pay him and let sam or hall go by bye

Also, 4k is bound to get a realistic shot at some point?
If management likes him, what are the supposed to do?
Might see him this year as Plan B? Or plan C

Terry Pegula also said Lindy ain't goin' nowhere and what's Darcy done wrong? And also loved Girgensons so much he signed him for 3x what he would have gotten in FA, and wouldn't pay ROR's bonus.

All-in, by his standards, meant literally just signing Hall.

Stop crying about girgensons. Who cares.

Getting overpaid by 700K is nothing.

I still remember going to the theater in May of 1980 as a 14 going-on-15 year old at the Holiday 1 & 2 Theaters in Cheektowaga. I also remember sitting there and thinking at the time "I don't believe it. It's a trick...he's not really Luke's father". Guess I was wrong ! Anyway, great new YouTube video of never-seen film footage ! Check it out.
