New Look Sabres: 2019 Training Camp Opens

Hockey is back! This offseason was a little bit slimmer on the back end than last year, phrasing intended; so the gap of time created by Hockey-less August felt much more oppressive. Earlier this week in the blog on the Prospect Tournament I waxed on poetically about how it’s harder to get excited for the Sabres this season. We’re probably looking at a less that 50% chance this team qualifies for the playoffs this season. Between the completion of the Prospect tournament and the arrival of Training Camp, my Sabres heart has come thundering back to life this week. That’s a huge relief considering the aforementioned difficulty seeing this club make the playoffs this season given its current roster construction. More good news: Training Camp narratives are not in short supply! Last year we celebrated competition at Training Camp as a long-awaited sign the team was turning a corner. Perhaps it was still the residual haze of the Jeff Skinner trade washing over us, but something was new about this club going into last year. This year still features a lot of competition for roster spots, Thank God, but this time around it requires a little bit more creative thinking to see how different players raise up the club overall. Last year both of Jeff Skinner and Conor Sheary were upgrades on the left wing no matter how you cut it. In the same way Rasmus Dahlin was a huge upgrade, even as a rookie, on defense. As the players filed into the building for their physicals yesterday and engaged in media day it may be helpful for us to look at Training Camp competition positionally this Preseason. While the new pieces and therefore the tighter competition for fewer roster spots came in the forward corps last year, this go around the change is much more obvious on defense… hopefully.

The big X factor I see in this year’s Training Camp is the guy behind the bench. Ralph Krueger returns to NHL coaching with the Buffalo Sabres six years after an Edmonton Oilers organization in even more chaos than the current version let him go. For someone looking at Krueger’s history for hints at how he’ll coach and deploy players it’s like he’s a super-electable politician: he’s more or less what you want him to be. In other words, he’s something of an empty glass you put your values in. The buzzwords that orbited around him in the early summer when he was hired were communication and flexibility. We were teased about that flexibility a couple days ago when he said this Training Camp will see the players pick what positions they’re fighting for a spot in. More on that later. After firing a Head Coach who was only consistently inconsistent with his roster deployment, General Manager Jason Botterill opted for someone in Krueger who maybe more of a chameleon. The last three coaches of the Sabres, two of which who are still being paid to not coach the team, were problematic in large part because they were too rigid in their systems and didn’t allow the skill players to be skilled in game situations. Phil Housley was moderately better than Dan Blysma on that front but all shit stinks, right? Ralph Krueger is going to let his butterflies fly and rigid is certainly not a word to describe him in anyway. Beyond that however it’s hard to say what exactly his style and decision-making will look like come Opening Night. He’s the biggest wildcard this preseason and maybe also once the games mean something in the regular season.

Unlike in past seasons this year we find ourselves with a rare logjam on the blueline. There are too many good defenseman on the Sabres depth chart! That was such a weird sentence to write! While at least three of Brandon Montour, Marco Scandella, Zach Bogosian and Lawrence Pilut will start the season in the Press Box nursing injuries, only two of those guys will the average Sabres fan be dying to see get back on the ice. Rasmus Ristolainen and Marco Scandella are two players you want off this club pretty soon for very different reasons. Ristolainen is likely traded for just not being up to par in the advanced stats categories the modern game requires of its defenseman. It was hilarious but encouraging to hear Risto acknowledge his defensive game needs some work yesterday. If he is on this roster Opening Night let’s hope we see the effort pay off. Marco Scandella on the other hand is, to put it creatively, a crater full of trash. Those two players, on the right and left sides of defense respectively, are jamming up the pipes for a handful of really awesome pieces fighting for roster spots. Colin Miller was acquired via trade with the hope he could be a good shutdown-defenseman on the second or first pairing depending on how optimistic you are. He probably makes the roster below the pairing he deserves. On the younger side Brandon Montour and Henri Jokiharju are poised for breakout seasons if they’re given the right opportunities. You could argue Montour could single-handedly be the difference maker on whether this club is close to that playoff line or not come April. Then again Jake McCabe and Zach Bogosian still have jobs if they’re not beaten for them this preseason. If Housley were still coach I’d tell you the chances of the kids getting their shot at changing this team, even in preseason action, are slim. Again, Krueger is a huge wildcard here and there’s a lot to be learned in the preseason games coming up next week. Two more dark-horses worth mentioning in any conversation about Buffalo’s defense are Lawrence Pilut and Will Borgen. Pilut was a true rising star in the chances he got last season and it will be very interesting to see what he can do after returning from injury. Will Borgen on the other hand has been developing for what feels like an eternity. The season he finally looks ready to make the jump to the NHL and that’s the season there is this giant logjam. Don’t be surprised to see him really gunning for a look as Training Camp goes on though.

The offense should be an easier discussion. It’s not because Jason Botterill’s weird move of the offseason was bringing back several guys who are or should be on their way out the door. I am totally okay with not buying anyone out, there are few guys that makes sense with and even the ones who it does can be banished in less salary-cap damaging ways. However if we’re going to bring back a fourth line of Zemgus Girgensons, Johan Larsson and Kyle Okposo you minus well just build a wall that says “Stay in Rochester” on it. Guys like Arttu Routsalainen, CJ Smith, Rasmus Asplund and even Victor Olofsson may be staring at the wall wondering if they have any position to gun for. And I’ll be very honest up front: I have no clue what the plan is with Tage Thompson. I’m more patient than the average joe with a guy like that but it’s just too crowded in the forward group. We probably just need to suck it up and ride out Okposo’s albatross of a Tim Murray contract, but those other two guys on the likely fourth line would’ve been very sensible departures given how long they’ve been given second chances. They each brought something to last season’s team but I’m not sure I don’t want their spots taken by the young guns anymore. I suppose there is still time for those young guns to take their spots. It is a new coach after all. As mentioned earlier Krueger wants to have each of these guys fight for the spot of their choosing. Is Zemgus Girgensons better than all of Thompson, Andrew Oglevie and Matej Pekar? Strong maybe I guess? What about Johan Larsson: is he better than all of CJ Smith, Arttu Routsalainen, Rasmus Asplund and Dylan Cozens? Two of those guys are likely sent to their junior teams once camp ends but Smith was an AHL All-Star last year. Competition in the bottom six, at least the fourth line, should be very interesting.

The biggest questions in the forward corps is who will be the second line center and who will be the first line right wing? Both questions have obvious answers that are not necessarily the only options. A top line of Jeff Skinner, Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart is very on brand for this club but if you use Reinhart at second line right wing you give Casey Mittelstadt some help shoring up that second line center role. Sheary could play on his off-side if it meant tapping in Eichel apples. If Victor Olofsson does indeed arrive as this top six player we’re all expecting, and you put him at 2LW you got a promising second line and a very interesting potential third line of Jimmy Vesey, Evan Rodrigues and Marcus Johansson. Yeah, I opt for the more experienced 28-year-old Johansson to play his off-side because I think he can do it fine on the third line and our good friend E-Rod may be fantastic at center if we give that an extended look. Now you may look at that summation of the top three lines as a pretty upbeat projection outside of the bitching about the fourth line. Where’s the difficulty in this discussion of the offense? Click, Click! In rolls every Sabres fan’s lineup projection grenade Vladimir Sobotka! NHL.com says he’s from the Czech Republic but anyone who watched last season’s Sabres knows he hails from the Kremlin. Wherever Putin hides the illegal chemical weapons, that’s where Sobotka is from because he stinks on ice! He’s not off the roster yet and that alone throws a wrench in the most fun version of the Sabres we could get out of Training Camp. Thompson and Sobotka are the guys that make the most fun version of the forward lines look unlikely but hey… Thompson could surprise me? I know, I wrote that full of doubt. Joking aside, he could be a late bloomer even though he didn’t exactly shine after getting sent down to the Amerks last season. Hmm, we really do have a lot to figure out during Training Camp, don’t we?

So what did I miss… Risto came to Training Camp after he definitely asked for a trade but why would he say that on media day? Eichel wants to score more goals, of course sweet boy. Marcus Johansson thinks Ralph Krueger is *pause for comedic effect* not your average Coach. Kyle Olsen was a Prospect Camp invite who earned an invitation to Sabres Training Camp. He’s probably the darkest of dark horses to make the roster. Uh… I think that’s it for now. When we wrap up Training Camp we’re going to tie all these loose threads together and preview the regular season. Between now and then however we have six preseason games to see how some of the questions get answered. Note: Six is fewer games than last year’s seven thankfully. If you weren’t reading the blog last year those games will be a taste of what the regular season is like here. Game action is much more fun and has a lot more opportunity for humor. Even though they’re meaningless in the standings I hope you’ll read, like and comment for the fun of it. It’s a sprint to regular season hockey from here!

Thanks for reading.

P.S. So it looks like Mitch Marner is going to pull a Will Nylander and miss Training Camp. The drama is better this time around for us Leafs Haters because for some reason Marner is personally offended by an $11 Million contract offer because it’s not as big as Auston Matthews’. Better more he’s much more likely to get traded than Nylander. I’m giddy for that Toronto Meltdown!

DEF CON 24 - Chris Rock - How to Overthrow a Government

First Government Overthrow, Then Chaos, and Next Legitimate Elections - How Does That Work?

Having studied the strategies of the CIA and relevant organizations, I'm very happy in overthrowing a government to broadcast the following simple steps.

1. Locate some opposition opposition in the country. Your absolute best guess is some wealthy users of the former oligarchy or military. Begin giving them funds, and in case you need-to move around in the route of military activity. I realize there's a good teaching facility in the Everglades that's accessible as all of the death -squadders who trained these day there are occupied destroying Haiti.

2. Develop some motives the government that is recent must get. The reasons may be correct or not, that's unimportant. A popular anyone to use could be economic concerns, which goes well with # 4, below.

3. Purchase or migrate media sites that are substantial. Use these stores to whip a bigger backlash from the leaders up.

4. Meanwhile, secret and utilize obvious way to destabilize the economy. Bush basically held 500 million pounds back in support presently arranged for that nation. There are other ways to destabilize currency, including working together within the place who'll be very happy to help with abundant elites. A final resort would be an actual embargo of the nation, although that is a tad clear. Nonetheless, most Americans wont recognize. We had monetary sanctions on Iraq for over 12 years but news media were still discussing how Saddam had destroyed the economy if the second Beach Massacre ended.

5. Integrate some unions. You will need some protesters while in the roads. You can spend demonstrators to return. That's great.

6. Stage some opposition rallies. When possible, take at some of the demonstrators and blame the government for this. This worked properly within the first Chavez coup attempt. Naturally, don't tell the demonstrators of your motives.

7. Ramp up the anti government rhetoric from your media sites you handle. Be completely outrageous. Call for demonstrations. Slander officials. Do whatever it takes. The target is currently not just to unfold bad information regarding the government but to force a response, including having one among your sites shut down. Then, breach of free speech gets added to grievances' list. Then you're able to involve some "moderates" come along and say, "Properly, I wasn't actually that supportive to the weight, but when the government began turning down opposition media, I recognized (put title of head below) had to proceed." If you want to, pay some moderates to state this. Or some actors. This is mainly for U.S. intake anyway.

8. Head to the rolodex, and discover who the Firm controls in domestic marketing and acquire them to begin with reporting in ways making it appear respectable around the opposition movement. Make certain these marketing outlets blame the existing government for all hatred. MONK, the New York Times and CNN are great places to start out. An example of this for action could be Haiti's situation. Despite the fact that the "resistance" are made of U.S. experienced former Haitian army and death squads with terrible individual rights documents, they're called "rebels." Aristide supporters are named " thugs." This never fails. Do not fear that a few other advertising will discover out the truth and document it. Only ensure your statements are greater and get out first. Seed some experiences named "The Reality about (insert brand of leader here)" and produce a large amount of shit up. My personal favorite example was the " room " after they overthrew Noriega they found. It had " black magic paraphernalia AND drugs ".

9. Do not actually kidnap the best choice. As was Allende he should be killed in Chile. Usually, they will talk. You see how much difficulty Aristide was causing before they found he had been fallen by the cell-phone someone. If it's a Caribbean or African condition you are overthrowing, although it's all going on you could need to make certain Reps. Maxine Waters and Charles Rangel are out from the place.

Well, that is it. Easy. Find out about Haiti, if you'd like to study how it works and retain viewing in Venezuela. Chavez is difficult, but just about anything he can do from now on only will "demonstrate" how anti-democratic he is and he " delivered the coup on himself".

The policies passed from the Orban government, in defense of national passions from the planet's great capitalists, are now being fought by underhanded means and by resorting to block protests prepared and funded by foreigners. The lie about the net tax.

10. Make sure you, at least initially, condemn the coup efforts, as Powell demonstrated inside the opening days of the Haiti function. You're able to change attributes later with no one will question you.

11. It might get messy, but understand that, once it's attained, any chat that it was a U.S. orchestrated coup becomes a " conspiracy theory " and you will be relegated to irrelevant sites and conspiracy or leftist websites. You are hurt by cannot that is alt.conspiracy.

12. Maintain your personal military involvement to your minimum. Before transmitting forces, some specific causes in regional dress is okay, but be sure there's alot of disarray. Usually, the best technique would be to delay until the boss is deposed and after that submit " peacekeeping forces." Make sure before chief is really deposed you wait. It would be very awkward to be keeping the peace for that leader you are hoping to get reduce.

Really wants to tax pay almost no, although international corporations who gain many benefits in Hungary but don't spend taxes. Besides this, their staff are also exploited by them, they take-all their earnings from the country then ensure it is impossible for tiny and moderate -measurement companies to use. Minister Orban really wants to duty the banks which, with forex credits, have misled a large number of households and destroyed their lives. Orban has decreased the cost of electricity, gasoline and water and really wants to proceed to reduce it, to help reduce the Hungarians' utility bills, nevertheless the suppliers of these solutions are Israelis who livein Portugal and Germany and who do not want to drop any gains.

The street demonstrations against the Orban supervision that are happening nowadays are beneficial to Europe and also the Usa who aim to carry a coup d'tat out. Why? Since Viktor Orb'n is not doing their bidding. It'sn't the Hungarian individuals who need to topple the government. Last April the government was re-elected to workplace by two-thirds of the folks! Your adversaries are strangers to Hungary, who want to restrict the country's innerworkings. They employ properly-oiled elements, they are funded by George Soros to be able to sustain their gains and their strength around the Hungarian market and they'll halt at nothing. They discover traitors to our birthplace the weight who are prepared to give their help, to get a value, and they attract easy those who imagine them.

Another reason behind competition is based on the possible gasoline pipe that could come from Italy, skipping Ukraine, through Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary, and as far as Norway (the southern move).

This is why it's really a subject of injuries to consolidated hobbies (the huge profits possibility being decrease) by each one of these activities from the government. They find them frustrating, why they interfere, and that's.

George Soros funds opposition commanders Ferenc, along with various agencies from the weight and Gordon. Then we have Andr Goodfriend, American charg d'affaires, who's immensely mixed up in interior affairs of Hungary. Here, by the way, I'd prefer to add that the same Buddy, performing as Consulgeneral while in the, did his best to bring the Syrian government along. And now he desires to notify the Hungarian folks what direction to go.

They make-up experiences about phony corruption and create untrue accusations against the government which they should never be able to verify or witness to mixing up the news, recruiting traitors among Hungarians who are ignorant and are ready to produce a blend; and they let the West know that the Orb'n government is improper which the 2/3 result inside the elections doesn't count.

Throughout the marches structured and only the federal government there is never any event, any violence. Certainly, there is a particularly calm setting, people discussed and sang and were of great cheer. Very the contrary of the current routines from the Orban government, where there is research regarding how a few of the individuals pummelled some editors, spit in their faces, destroyed the headquarters of the FIDESZ party (the celebration of the Prime Minister) causing big injuries; and they knew nolimit in screaming curses and vulgarities. You can view the variation involving the two crowds from a distance away, they are every other, civility rather than incivility incorporated with anarchy's alternative.

DEFCON Conference

That is why we contemplate functions from unique points of view and ought to reflect on the news that's broadcast. By believing our opponents, usually we also will end up.

This incivility was what furthermore indicated the demo from the web duty structured by Gyurcs'ny Ferenc and by the people that are supporting him, financed by Soros and which Goodfriend needed part in. First of all the world wide web duty was a pretext, because without a motive that appears to damage everyone there might have not been a great number of people while in the street at the demand of Gyurcs'ny, whose attractiveness has lately taken a jump. Beneath the slogan do not tax the Internet he were able to proceed a small audience. Nevertheless the fact is that the bill wasn't to be offered to the customers and of regulation said that the duty was to become settled by the services, also it was capped at 3 pounds. But there are often those who so are able to produce a mix and do not know all the details. So here-you have your news fit to create throughout the planet about the way undesirable the Orban supervision is, etc and how disappointed the Hungarians are.

For your time we Hungarians who assist the Orb'n government do not want to show, but await the advancement of the complete subject. When the international assaults don't quit, then it's our purpose to try the avenues and present the way much we want to guard it, and how near we're to your government.
