Was anybody actually booing him?

Only place I get boo’d is at our home stadium. Then some of the same people want me to take pictures and sign autographs. I thought bills fans were the best in the world? Where’d they go? If the vaccine works then why do vaxxed people need to be protected from unvaxxed? #letemin

Do not give up Henderson. You will regret. I have just put in a trade for the man


I picked up Schultz in my other league to back-up Kittle. He's got some good fantasy value if you dont want to give up a RB

He knows exactly what he's doing at this point. And the reaction he's getting is exactly what he wants to get.

Switch Weissbach and Asplund.

Why is Asplund not playing centre as well? He did a fine job there last year from what I remember

Don Granato would rather look at Thompson at center than let Eakin play.

That is hilarious, and really (frank)ing sad. Sad because of our total lack of centers, sad because Eakin is paid more than $750,000, sad because he's paid like he should matter, sad because Thompson doesn't have the intelligence to play center, and sad because he's on the 4th line and is one of the most irresponsible two way forwards in the entire league.

Was Asplund not drafted at Centre? Why are they refusing to put him there

He was much more successful playing wing last year. He played a lot of center and did relatively well in non NHL games. As a young C in the NHL he didn't really do much of anything. With maturity and development, I think they should continue to see if he has it in him.

Might as well throw him there in preseason instead of Sir Tallness


edit: I retract my statement. Let Tallness rot on the bottom line.

They should. Nothing wrong with seeing Thompson at C in preseason, but they should also have Assman in there too.

Almost as strange, Okposo at LW.

There's like 20 LW's on the roster, and 3 RW's. Let's try one of those RW's at C and another at LW. I know it's only a split squad pre-season game, but this is strange.

Robin Lehner clarifies: he never was accusing Alain Vigneault of distributing pills to players. His claim was about the way the coach treats players, which he believes is unacceptable.

Lehner had a good call with the NHLPA yesterday. We’ll see what comes of the story this week.


So is he back tracking now?
