  1. The real question is whether UPPS' performance before the rise of Fedex, UPS, etc. is an example of why weshoukd give me the Federal government control of everything.
  2. That's Mimi Rodgers? Her looks sure improved from childhood.
  3. Good song. Was that Jefferson Airplane or Jefferson Starship?
  4. Dude he was up 8 in FG range with about 2 minutes left and decided to pass. That cannot be blamed on anyone but him.
  5. I like both guys as backup. Ullmark is young and improving. Hutton is serviceable and passionate despite his recent woes. Haseks don't grow on trees. I can't lay this on Botts. Murray had no objectivity regarding Lehner and damaged the Sabres as a result. He sure didn't help Lehner either and that could have turned out much worse. The best opportunity to improve our goalie situation was a few years back but Murray, as usual, decided he was smarter than everyone else. Yes Botts wanting to wait 100 years for the goalie with the 100 letter name is frustrating but I'm not sure he had better options than Hutton/Ullmark in the immediate term. Don't get me wrong, I have no real confidence that he'd do the right thing if he had a chance, I'm just not sure he has had one. Perhaps you're not aware that this team gained valuable playoff experience in the World Juniors.
  6. If I'm Pegula and I don't pull the trigger on Botts tonight, I forbid deadline trades. Why would I want this guy picking up more crap like Vesey/Sheary/Frolik et al? Why would I let him trade away talent like Risto knowing we'd get nothing of value in return? The season is over. Clearly. Dump Botts now or wait until year end, I don't care. But for the love of God do not let him make another transaction. And they must do something to reassure Eichel that we are committed to winning. Look at where we were when Eichel got drafted with a strong system and so much capital. Murray squandered it all and despite winning the Dahlin lottery, Botts has managed zero progress in three years. Oh wait. Cozens team made the world junior finals so that's valuable.
  7. That won't happen in 2026. By then we'll either have a real GM or Eich will have been long gone after asking out.
  8. That could be a lot of things. Someone at a very low level of the organization could have messed up a jersey order and this rant hit that person square in the face. A good organization makes mistakes sometimes and they also protect employees at all levels. I'm not saying that's it for sure, but it's possible. It's different than ranting about the schlock Botterill has trotted out onto the ice and watching him spin Dylan Friggin Cozens trip to the World Junior Finals as somehow giving the Sabres organization valuable playoff experience. Yes. He did that. The guy is not a real GM.
  9. On it. What should I do with the leftover paper? I have a package with 200 sheets so there should be about 150 left if the copier doesn't jam.
  10. Ullmark got hurt last night and Sutton has clearly not been paying attention.
  11. Ullmark injury looked strange. I wouldn't be 100% shocked if it turns out to be his left and not the right like it looked. Either way, it's too bad. What a waste of Eichel and Dahlin's talent subjecting them to what Botts has surrounded them with. It's criminal and he needs to be gone yesterday.
