Yeah it’s definitely louder than my Xbox. I have the PS4 slim which I guess is a bit better than the original PS4 as far as noise, but it’s still noisy for sure. I read that the new PS5 runs a lot quieter. We will see in about a month!

Look at that heat sink! I also really like that they have 2 dust collector ports able to be cleaned with a vacuum.

sounds good to me! https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/381855/john-jason-peterka

boy, ain’t that the truth. Yeah I was watching and had a similar reaction.

One of my favorite resources for OHL prospects. https://ohlprospects.blogspot.com/2020/05/my-final-top-50-ohl-players-for-2020_28.html He also says this: edit - I won’t lie. When the Sabres were on the clock and both Rossi + Perfetti were there I wanted one of them. But mainly because they seemed to be the consensus higher ranked prospects according to most stuff I read (and I’ll bet it’s the same for most people who are upset). But as mentioned above, clearly NHL scouts were higher on this kid than the internet scouts and average fans were. Im willing to wait and see how this plays out. Quinn definitely adds an element that this team is missing - pure goal scoring and more important - a net front presence. Someone who actually likes to get to the dirty areas in front of the net. He made his living there last season. I also love his personality and (reported) work ethic & drive to get better. I think that’s extremely important. You can have all the talent in the world but with no drive it’s wasted (see: Alex Nylander). My main concern is that last season was an outlier. He quadrupled his previous goal output and had a pretty high shooting percentage. But he also seems like a late bloomer and he just started to focus solely on hockey in the last few years. He’s said that he didn’t really even have a good training regime until recently. I feel like there is a lot of untapped potential with this kid. Who knows, maybe he will end of being the steal of the draft! I’m excited to see what he can do with real professional coaching and training.

I cringe a little every time these players come face to face like that after games, hugging and stuff. I fully understand it’s a tradition, but then at the very least make players put on masks before the post game handshakes and greetings. Or if they don’t want to wear masks then enforce social distancing. Make them each stay on their half of the field when they meet at the end of the games or something. I know it’s inconvenient but it’s sure better than a covid breakout. All it’ll take is one guy who’s a super spreader to infect dozens of players. I get that they already came in close contact playing, but why not eliminate any potential risk they can?

I’d certainly rather them get Trevor Lawrence than the Jets... 😂

Well, damn.

I chuckle at people who hardly follow hockey, or at least prospects (you have to be a pretty dedicated hockey fan to watch junior hockey and follow prospects in all the different leagues. It’s hard to even get the games on TV in some places), who get furious about a draft pick they know very little about (besides whatever few articles they read or highlight videos they watched) because “reasons”. It just becomes group think. A huge crap shoot. There are very few can’t miss goalie prospects, and even then they usually take 3-5 years to hit the NHL. Meanwhile goalies drafted in the 6th round pass them by... Drafting goalies is tough. The Sabres used to be pretty damn good at identifying goalies though. I think some of that had to do with Jim Corsi.

Jack Quinn. I had a feeling we would draft this kid when I read his back story. Let’s hope he turns into a player for us!

Kevyn Adams pre draft press conference NH, draft starts tonight at 7pm EST! https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2020/10/05/2020-nhl-draft-date-time-order-of-picks-for-all-31-teams/ (^ draft info: date, time, order of picks, etc)

new embedded series premier.

was a bit surprised by this at first, but it’s only $400k over his qualifying offer. If he turns into a legit top 6-9 player in years 2 and 3 it could be a bit of a bargain. Seeing this deal I’m guessing he’s likely penciled into the lineup Buffalo this season. could Reinhart be trade bait?

Man what a stupid play call to run it up the middle when the chiefs stacked the box. and another terrible play by Hoyer on the next down. How do you not see/feel that pressure? Yikes.

supposedly the Sabres have something interest in Nick Schmaltz from Arizona. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/canucks-bruins-key-players-oliver-ekman-larsson-market/ Im ok with Schmaltz depending on the price. We need competent centers, but I’m not super high on him. He’s only broke 20 goals once. I think he’s ideally more of a #3C and $5.85M seems like a lot for a 3C. But he’s only 24 so I guess there’s still room for growth. It makes me nervous that Adams even talked about what he’d want in an Eichel deal. Eichel should be untouchable. If they actually do trade him, I honestly might have to re-evaluate whether I’d want to continue being a sabres fan (though I’m not sure I could stop being a fan even if I wanted to...lol). I don’t see how you could win an Eichel trade. LaFreniere is nice and all, but he’s no Eichel. Those 2 young players better have been the NYR’s best 2 young players. You can’t trade Eichel unless it’s in a trade that legitimately makes the Sabres better and I’m not sure how you do that. Subtracting Eichel from this roster would be ugly AF.

Yikes, that was an ugly INT.

Damn.

Our offense is going to have to score on every drive if this **** continues.

This was not the rebound performance I was hoping for from the defense. Is there some rule that we’re not allowed to have both sides of the ball playing well at the same time or something...? 😂

Yeah we really need one. I also think we’re missing Star.

Damn, got lucky as hell there.

Really hoping to see a bounce back game from our defense today.
