I Watched alot of the Nashville game last night.
Dushane was pretty active, the announcers were all over him , breaking his goal less season.

I would think he's underperforming and would be a good time to inquire?

Were you giving staal straight up? Adding the giraffe?

Skinner for Duchene was the basis. Similar contracts.

The part where you stated MAF is "still playing great"

It's been 3 going on 4 days of pushing for him in a trade.

Nothing has made him play GREATER in that period of time. He hasnt played...

Girgensons was having a great camp, he's still playing great πŸ˜‰

Because the Sabres with a goaies playing as well as MAF are probably 3-4 points better in the standings.

Not to mention, he could be had for very cheap.

I mean i guess we could talk about need face punchers for the 10,000th time.

Sorry just messing around. And Crusty is in for repairs, my dog knocked if the patio table. But since you mentioned it, I will roll a nice fatty to punish myself for my comment.

Anything that kills the pain Boss, I don't like taking pain pills, and weed helps. So yeah sooner or later I would have done it anyways.

That would be a good trade for the Sabres in my opinion.

If I'm skimmer, I waive to go to Nashville.

Whiffed 2 years ago when the Bill's played there, waiting for family to decide. Southwest Saturday direct sold out in 10 minutes.

Pandemic this year. Again a nice 3 day weekend.

This year its happening, as soon as the vaccine....

Hope they pick Columbus weekend again.

Ever been crags?

MAF is definitely an upgrade. Haven't the Sabres goalies (ullmark) gotten them 5 out if the last 6 points?

I'm not sure about very cheap. My guess, with the shortened season, he has more value being an old guy?
Fresher for the playoffs.. he's been alternating with lehner and flat out , outplaying him....

MAF and Reeves

For

Glutton, mitts and Miller

πŸ‘ŠπŸ€

Were both happy πŸ™‚

The Sabres are going to be really good once they get a true 2nd line center again
- sbroads24


You know how senior golfers strive to shoot their age?...Staal is close to being on track to score his age...which would be decent, much better than we have had over the past number of years. For an old guy, with a new team/ system/ linemates/ coach he is doing ok. Not great, but ok.
I suspect he'll get better as the season progresses and he settles in

Sounds fun. I've never been for a Bills game. I spent 1 night in Nashville on Broadway or whatever which was cool

Your buddy should sign one of his 10 daily executive orders to rescind the federal laws against it.

I'm sure that's going to happen very soon.

Probably waiting a bit, to make sure "it's not the first" thing they do.

I've never really liked Biden. I liked Obama and did well under the 8 years. We need someone younger as a nation.

I actually like Biden more every day. I feel comfortable with his line of BS in comparison to the past. Nice to see some compassion and the 1st rescue dog in the White House. I have 2 rescues, and dogs say alot about a person.

Mentioned this before, I'm pretty moderate. Like things from both sides.

Liked Cuomo at the beginning of the pandemic, didnt care who he was before. My buddy is part owner of 2 breweries, cuomo is killing them. Tough spot.

It's ok to evolve and change our minds right?
Or do we have to pretend dear leader makes 0 mistakes?

I've heard some chatter about Skinner for Duchene


Mostly me chattering to myself

- jcragcrumple


Ok, i guess
But ONLY bc i think Ralph will use him properly
NOT bc i like Duchene at all
Duchene has never become the player he should,
even though very talented
And the issues of lack of effort have persisted the last year or so now in Nashville

Idk how he’s looked this season though?

The stats are mediocre. No goals, 3 assists. The charts are pretty over the last 3 years

girgs is already on ir
- homiedclown


Not LTIR though
So his Cap is still counting against us

And we only get relief from Girgs contract if we go over the Cap
Right now, we are 1.8m under
Since Girgs cap hit is 2.2m, we could essentially bring in a guy with a 4m cap hit
*actually over a 4.5m hit now- bc it gets prorated for the rest of the season

I mentioned this yesterday when u said we had no Cap room for a goalie

There’s room, we just need to finesse the Cap like other teams do
