defeatism: see above

jump on board. we'd love to have you on the fan bandwagon. get in the playoff race. paint your face. make a tin foil Cup (that's Cup not cap). get out your old "We're gonna win that cup" 45.

You're full of surprises. I thought you'd be jumping on the VO extension train.

Is letting him walk for nothing a good plan?

- Lunaion


I think we both covered this.

After 12 years of "gaining assets" maybe we use one up completely?

A 7th round pick , a multi season 20 goal scorer.

Let olofsson role into free agency IMO
He will probably choose to stay ?

2 playoff runs for under 10 million.

We had this convo this week. We both said the same thing.....

I watched the game last night and there was a delusional female with a 37 jersey that spelled Mittle-Stud, I threw up a little.... and for the record his name is Mittle-SHAT.

I just cant stand him. I really want to like him, just cant...

Saw a guy on twitter saying it was his jersey and he thought Mitts would be more likely to sign it if his GF went down to ask instead of him.

He's been better lately, a real dog around the puck just not enough strength to matter most times. If him and Olof continue to skate like they have been for 10 games they really help the secondary scoring. Especially with the kids growing pains on line 2.

The sth tax is about to pay off on all the people that bought $6 stubhub tickets the past decade.

Wait until the tears start flowing about playoff prices , from people who haven't been to a game in years.

I'm giving priority to family and the few regular buyers over the years.

The last couple games are going to demand huge prices. I'm hoping were close and the Columbus game is important enough to travel too.

Because you're basically describing an extension, just with different timing.

True, btu if i didnt have my seats it woudlnt be the same imo. I like my section and the people around me. Only thing that sucks is the guy behind me is a pompous wiener but his kids ok.......
Was talking with a guy about how weve had these seats in the family since it was built when we were kids and now we are taking our kids.

Worst post of the month

You couldn't be more wrong with your posts πŸ˜€

Take the L, move on to baker mayfield being awesome

Gibson = vaslevsky take is seriously the worst take ever


πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

All summer you bagged on olofsson. Right back it your face guy.

- Boss34


What line is Olo playing Boss?
3rd or 1st.
IDIOT!!
You still cant get it through your cement head on the point of Gibson and Vasi.

Do you have to work at being dumb or does it come that easy for you?

Alex Tuch signed a 7 year / $33,250,000 contract with the Vegas Golden Knights, including $33,250,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $4,750,000. In 2022-23, Tuch will earn a base salary of $4,750,000, while carrying a cap hit of $4,750,000. Contract Notes: 2023-2025: 5 team no trade list.

Anyone still doubt this guy was the main piece in the trade.

We should probably trade him soon, I'm worried about the way he played during the 8 game losing streak.

Gotta get an asset back

Since January 1st, Mittelstadt, Jost, and Olofsson have the lowest on-ice expected goals against per 60 among all forwards at 5v5.

They also have the highest goals for per 60 minutes at 5v5 on the team since 1/1.

Yes

We strangely posted similar posts within minutes the other day. Both saying, it's bad asset management, but let him play out his deal.

I went further and said that is less damaging (not getting an asset) because he was a 7th rounder.

Some disagreed with me....

Losing either 2OA turd we tanked for, for nothing would have sucked.

Yeah I don’t get why people want to make trades just to make trades

Olofsson has 1 more year after this year.

I get has value but he also has value for the Sabres potentially staying in the playoff race or even making playoffs

You have terrible opinions. I could list a few more "ion thoughts ".

Basically, all your opinions suck.

The fact that your wrong all the time ,your general love of Johnson worries me.

I like ryan, but your love of Johnson is going to be added to your list of terrible posts.

Hey, maybe you hit on one πŸ˜€
