I was kidding in regards to girgs and injuries.

I've been a fan of Wilson's for years.

Debated with the guy that (not thatguy) admittedly only watches 5% of .

He couldn't stand the guy or give him any credit for being a good hockey player. Sure, he makes bad decisions that hurt his team, but hes a good nhl hockey player.

Same goes for maroon and Reeves, a couple guys still playing in the playoffs.

The guy I speak of , sits when he pees

Just been in the sun bin for 21 days because I went after these chumps that thought the shooting at TOPS was funny. RHINO was the once who picked it up!! Then the TWO QUEENS that run the LAFFS blog sent me down for 3 WEEKS for calling them A$$HOLEsS for thinking those comments were funny!!!!

The Tampa Model was twisted to focus only on Vasi in the ensuing conversation, when my comment was addressing a previous post about need to get gritty players as the roster may get to "soft".
Lacrup or whatever his name is then singled out Vasi to focus on the Goalie only...it doesn't need to be position specific in drafting talent
The point clearly was Draft Talent (with character), acquire grit by other means.

Perhaps I should have written a dissertation length post to spell out better what I meant?

Draft talent...like Point, Kuch, Stamkos, Heddy...Vasi too, yes. Requires top notch scouting and using Analytics to help uncover gems. Sabres have some good talent they drafted that are working on making their way to the big club. Did they uncover a gem in Quinn?...maybe so. Did they perhaps ID another gem in Peterka?... maybe so.
This draft should had a fair amount of additional talent...hopefully they can find a Point or Kuch in late round 1 or round 2 with thei Analytics Dept chipping in now.
If a top end talent Goalie is available at 16...absolutely, but it isnt there right? Not sure why the focus is on Goaltending specific.

Color around the edges by using the TDL to bring in voids in lunch pail guys like Goodrow, Coleman, Paul, etc. We probably see this in the '23-24 season.
Sign savy vets with character like The Big Bear Maroon, Perry and Bellemare. Sabres aren't in that phase with their rebuild yet.

These playoffs are annoying.

Tampa looked half dead vs the leafs

Killed the Panthers

Look dead vs the rangers



Rangers barely beat the pens who played an ahl goalie

Beat a canes team that just wasn’t great with no offensive catalyst

Info on Rosen from Alex this morning. Returning to Europe if/when he doesn’t make the Sabres appears to be up to him.

think this once again comes down to whether he's getting top 6 minutes in Rochester. I'm confident Kevo will do his job and not let him leave.

Can't imagine, after being what some have labeled, "misused", that he'd want to go back. But you never know what these crazy kids are thinking these days.

he didn't have the physical strength to compete in a normal role, which is fine, but if you're going to go through the effort of having him come here and being in charge of his development, you need to put him in a situation to actually play. his agent essentially ensured that he'd actually get playing time this year.

Hope he can put 10 lbs on over the summer.

On a side note, I hate how Euro's and NCAA kids can't come to training camp.

hate to say it but we need to go over 50% on defense in the draft. Our D pool is gross.

2 D in the first round.

That's fine. I'm looking for immediate forward help outside the draft anyway. Carolina should end that debate in a hurry.

Qeen Elizabeth of England at 96 and serving for 70 year looks to have more on the ball than the current POTUS.
