  1. Whaley was a lame duck GM who had zero authority in that draft. He was following orders, specifically to defer the QB decision and let the incoming GM pick his own guy in the next draft.
  2. I read an article about a guy who started with a paper clip and through a series of trades ended up with a used Dodge Caravan. Anything is possible.
  3. Mario is very much in the conversation. Even Gretzky acknowledges that Mario would have broken many of his records if not for injuries and cancer.
  4. I didn't think anyone would even come close to the goal record ever. Gretzky, and the other greats of the time, put up huge numbers in the expansion era during the 80s when scoring was at an all time high. Goals are harder to come by in the modern league but I guess Ovi was fortunate that he missed the clutch and grab era, not that he wouldn't have been dominant in the "dead puck" years. The longevity and sustained production that was required to break the record is really the most impressive part. Ovi is pushing 40 and there has been almost no drop off in his stats over the last 10 years. Gretzky fell off a cliff in his twilight years as back injuries and age caught up with him.
  5. Probably meaningless but this is the most exciting time of the year for Sabres fans. All aboard the 2026 Hopium Express.
  6. Recently did this as well. From Season 4 on its about getting to the finish. There was far less enjoyment and a lot more groaning about decisions made down the stretch.
  7. As long as he can get from the bench to the top of the left circle in the offensive zone, he will still have a spot on the first PP unit.
  8. Houston ruined what could have been a real Cinderella story. A true Underdog story. We'll just have to imagine. When will Duke ever catch a break?
  9. I think Shedeur is reason enough to stay away from Shedeur. I see a spoiled brat with zero leadership qualities and no accountability. Stranger things have happened, but I will be absolutely shocked if this kid demonstrates any ability to mature or handle the adversity that is coming at the next level. "Look at my watch" is not going to earn the respect of an NFL locker room. But it will be a pretty funny sack dance and one I expect to see early and often.
  10. Mercifully, Ovi scored on the first PP opportunity, broke the record, and spared me from having to watch 60 minutes of the Islanders. I did not think that record would ever all in this era of hockey. Its an incredible achievement. He's not the same player he once was but there has been minimal decline in his production over the past 10 years whereas Gretzky's numbers fell off a cliff late in his career. Remarkable durability. Ovi could realistically net 1,000 career goals but I believe he finishes his career in Russia after this contract is up.
  11. https://www.eliteprospects.com/news/fantasy-hockey/fantasy-hockey-feature-zach-benson-growing-in-a-dark-space Some really encouraging stats showing Benson's development that would be easily missed. I will admit, neither his defensive or offensive prowess really jumps out at me as a casual observer. I know he's a gifted playmaker and has incredible hockey sense but I thought his physical development mitigated much of his talent and did not at all appreciate how impactful his play has been. Especially as he has played mostly with 3rd line talent.
  12. Well timed fools gold. A Sabres tradition.
  13. Its called cutting the cord and its a great way to spend way more money.
  14. Fully expected Peter Pan guy. What a letdown.
  15. Where would you rather be than Buffalo, in April! People should know there is more to Buffalo than snow and ice. There is also grey rainy days with mud. Visiting fans should get the whole spring time in Buffalo experience of drinking in an old dark bar.
  16. He was traded. He had no way of knowing how a trading partner would honor his contract.
  17. They are actually called Romanian labrum busters and they're asinine.
  18. I really don't think Hunter had burpee getovers, barbell thrusters, and whatever the hell this 👇is when he wrote that.
  19. Accusations of rape were brought up as retaliation of supporting Allen over Lamar? That is what you're suggesting?
  20. I know a guy who spent his whole life reliving his conception.
  21. What about buddhists and goths?
  22. Thats fine. A lot of high draft picks who don't pan out like to say they didn't get a chance. He still believes in himself or at least thats what he is telling people in Dallas. I didn't see much during his time in Buffalo that suggested he was going to pan out.
  23. Isn't he dating Offset's ex wife? Besides the baggage, the history, and the headaches that come with Diggs, at this point in his career, I think Diggs is best playing in the slot and we have a log jam of those guys. No thank you.
