When people post that photo of Marner and Matthews making faces with Marleau and his family i want to vomit. People have used that in the argument Marleau was a great mentor.
Matthews was so taken by Marleau's mentorship he showed his a$$hole to a security guard.

Are you under the impression that anybody who has a mentor suddenly turns into Mother Teresa?

No but for 6.25 per I want at least to see them turn into Angela Landsbury.

sucks to be Alex Tuch

Is Matthews the only piece left that was acquired during Lou's tenure?

Marner?

Sabres GM Kevyn Adams explains the Jack Eichel trade: Teams involved, return, Matthew Tkachuk rumors, more

The Sabres GM on the drawn-out saga of trading Eichel: “This has been such an intense process. We talked to everybody in the league."

Marner?

Nope. Mitch was a 2015 draft pick, and Dubas/Hunter were “co-interim GM’s” at that point.

Lou was hired about a month later.

he's from Western NY though. Probably more ok with it than most.

Apparently he told Sabres brass ( copper i guess) it was a dream come true.

So he KNOWS he doesn’t want to be there.

So:
Winner to joke
Vegas to Buffalo

Ya I think that's made up

A lot of players would like to play for their favourite team growing up. Not really sure why that's hard to understand.

A lot of players would like to play for their favourite team growing up, if they are good. Not really sure why that's hard to understand.

FYP.

 

[Deckie007]

FYP.

nah, i mean that's a plus but depending how strong the affection is for the team, not really necessary. Don't get me wrong, shit on the Sabres all day, but Tuch is probably sincere.

Sabres giving tribute to their GM for the Eichel trade

So easy. More people should do this.

And what does the NHL do? They let goons tackle him in the playoffs without penalties. Macdavid sells tickets. Plays like that sells.

 

[Artnes]

Every player waited for the other to react. Deer in headlights

Yeah, there’s a play that makes the highlight reels and goes viral online.

McDavid getting slashed, held and punched by plugs—not so much.

 

[Neurospasm]

It may end up being why both the Oilers and us are never successful in the playoffs. If you’re allowed to illegally play McDavid and Draisatl then what will the Oilers do? Same goes with Marner, Matthews and Tavares. I think we have anecdotal evidence of how it’s been going so far.
