00:00This offseason was tough, right?
00:03I think a lot of people wanted more.
00:05And a lot of people wanted a big move to sort of just kick that into hyperdrive
00:11and inject it with nitrous.
00:14And you didn't get it.
00:16And I wonder how fragile that feels to people right now.
00:20I know Jeremy at the game on whatever day it was.
00:25I'm mixed up now.
00:26Tuesday.
00:27It was Tuesday night.
00:28He tweeted out, like, this is a fan base and a team that needed a buy-in.
00:32People got mad at him, but I don't think he's wrong.
00:36People wanted the Sabres to sort of acknowledge what happened with a big trade
00:43and an aggressive move.
00:46And it didn't come, certainly not for a lack of trying.
00:50They made the Pareko deal.
00:51That got nixed because of a no-trade clause.
00:53We know the Hellebuck thing was close and likely nixed because of a no-trade clause.
00:59And we know they were in on Kane.
01:01We know they were in on Vincent Trocek.
01:03We know that they tried to do stuff, but they didn't.
01:06And so I wonder how fragile people are feeling about them right now.
01:12And you give us a call, 803-0550, and answer that question for me.
01:18Because I, right now, came into the season feeling testy about it.
01:24And they have quickly gotten me already back to, no, they're good.
01:29Like, they're good.
01:30They create a lot of chances.
01:32What I saw on the D-Zone on Tuesday night was great.
01:36And I'm telling you right now, I think if they go in, because of what I laid out, you know,
01:41in the open about what that game last year against Dallas meant to me,
01:46I think if they go in and they sort of dominate and they beat Dallas around tonight,
01:50I'm going to be right back to, like, no, they're good.
01:52They're really good.
01:54And I will feel secure in.
