From google translate - Rasmus Ristolane dissatisfied with the Buffalo Sabers - wants to move on: "Recent seasons have been tough" Rasmus Ristolainen is not happy with his position in the Buffalo Sabers and wants to look into playing in another NHL club. Ristolainen comments on his future for MTV Sports. Rasmus Ristolainen still has three more years remaining with his contract with the Buffalo Sabers. The keys are with the club, but Ristolainen has discussed options with the club leadership. MTV Sports previously reported that Ristolainen will change clubs for next season. - The situation is open. I can not say anything other than the fact that I am on the 12th of September, one of the NHL team's training camp, Ristolainen commented. - However, we wanted to keep the discussions between me and the club. Ristolo has had a lot of responsibility from year to year on the back lines of the Sabers, but the team hasn't been in the playoffs for six years. Ristolainen is not at all happy with the situation. - I haven't been able to help the team win. Recent seasons have been tough and I haven't been able to enjoy hockey. Although the future is uncertain, Ristolainen has enjoyed the summer in Finland. - I like to do a lot of different exercises in the summer, but the main focus has been on improving speed. So it sounds like he has in fact requested a trade (as suspected) and is unhappy in buffalo. I still hope hope botterill doesn’t cave in and trade him for less than he’s worth. It’s Botts job to put the team above 1 player.

Here is a Michael Silver twitter thread on the AB issues (click in tweet to see whole thread) -

Crazy. Especially with him being on a new team for the first time in his NFL career. You’d think he would want to be there, learning a new (complicated Gruden) offense, getting his timing down with Carr and building their trust/relationship etc. It’s a selfish move IMO.

Here’s the full 1st episode -

what I meant was the family atmosphere he is building where guys seem to genuinely care about each other on a human level. It’s not just based on this celebration alone. It’s everything going on around the team. This was just one more (small) example.

This was my favorite part of Wade’s TD run. I love seeing all his teammates so genuinely happy for him. And I love what McDermott is building here.

Looked like a catch to me. Hopefully it stands.

Wow what a catch!

Damn it Yeldon

McKenzie letting us all know not to forget about him! lol

Some good players are going to be cut from this defense. They’re gonna have some tough decisions to make. But that’s a good problem to have!

Give it s read when you can (if you’re out of free articles). It’s kind of long but a very good read. It goes into detail on all the different trainers he works with in the offseason. It’s a “who’s who” list of trainers. All of them are considered to be near the top of their field. It also details Skinner’s relentless work ethic and desire to continue improving. I guess he’s a freak about nutrition too. It actually msde made me feel better about committing 8 years to him. He takes great care of himself. Plus, my hope is that some of his teammates want to follow his example.

Just got here... Not a bad start to the game. Allen and the offense moved the ball nicely that 2nd series. That sack was obviously no good Singletary found his groove on that TD series. He was struggling a bit his first few touches but really took off after that. Hopefully it’s just a small taste of what’s to come! The defense looks legit! Dominant! Even the 2nd string D looks damn good. Darryl Johnson looks like he could make the 53. He ain’t gonna make it to the practice squad if he keeps playing like this... Ray Ray looking nice, too.

I think this is the link to the video segment you’re looking for - https://www.nhl.com/video/31-in-31-buffalo-sabres/t-290549380/c-68680403 I haven’t watched it yet (I will shortly) Lol thanks man. Im actually a bit surprised it wasn’t closer to $1.7. I figured it would fall closer to being split it down the middle like with ERod.

It sounds like you have some territorial behavior/dominance issues from adding in this new dog (the peeing contest and rolling in feces, behavioral problems, etc). I’d recommend calling a good trainer to come in and give you guys some pointers on how to correct the issues. Edit - this may sound funny, but I would have you or your wife/kids start with walks. Every day, if possible. You want to train the dogs so they walk at your side and don’t lead. This is the most important part. You may have to train 1 dog at a time before you can walk both this way (I can give you some tips on how to train them to walk this way if you’d like. The easiest way is with a specific harness where the leash attach point is on the front (no-pull harness), or just putting the leash much higher on their neck, so it’s just behind the ears. When the leash is low on their neck they can pull all day long because they have that big breast bone there. When it’s higher on their neck, they can not pull like that. I usually start by using 2 leashes - one clipped to a harness, and another smaller leash around the neck just behind the ears). Walks do a lot of good. They tire your dogs out and make them easier to command/train and less likely to misbehave. They help form a strong bond with the dog. And they also (if taught to walk at your side) help establish you as the alpha/leader. It would teach both dogs that they need to submit to and follow the human (leader) without having to yell/scream (which often times can do more harm than good). You can also also hire someone to teach your dogs to walk in this manner, and even walk them every day for you (but it’s better if someone in your family does it IMO).

I loved having more than 1 dog (had 2, then 3, then 2 for many years). It’s was great to see the companionship the dogs developed. If you do decide to get another, I would definitely recommend going to the shelter and looking for a dog. You’ll be helping to save a dogs life #1. But also, if you find one you like you can then bring your current dog to meet them and make sure it’s a match before you take the new dog home. (and in my experience, mutts have less health issues than pure bred dogs anyway) If your dog is male, I’d recommend getting a female. Or vise versa. Less chance for issues IMO, especially with 2 older dogs (vs bringing in a puppy). Your dog is less likely to be territorial with a dog of the opposite sex.

Congrats Jess!

wasn’t sure where else to post this
