All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I loved the Leino signing. Talk about horridly wrong. Why didn't he work out?
Anyone else have a move they were just sure would be amazing .... And was terribly wrong?
Edgar Renteria. Tigers needed a slick fielding short stop with a good bat so badly. It just never worked.
Oh, you mean hockey. If we are talking strictly free agent signings, lino and ehrhoff for sure. Ehrhoff was never bad in buffalo, I thought he was the final piece to get the sabres over the hump from playoff team to playoff threat. Get past the first round, maybe the second. Just never worked. Hence why we are in a rebuild. The old core just wasn't anything other then pretty good.

you could see why he wouldn't work when he got on the ice with the team. He couldn't play Lindy's open offensive system. He clearly was just out of position, a step slow, and frankly was a defensive liability to the point he didn't see any minutes.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

thats what was so puzzling. leino was seen as a two-way forward with grand rapids/detroit and philly. once he got to buffalo, nothing seemed to work for him, short of the lockout season when he put up 6 points in 8 games in between his injuries.

at the time Leino got here Lindy still was trying to run his wide open offensive system. this required the wings to keep their heads on a swivel for pinching defensemen, and to switch with them. I remember Leino had a HUGE problem catching onto this concept. he always was slow to cover the point, and was even slower to recognize it was his responsibility to do so. That said it wasn't all his fault... around that same time they brought in a few defensemen who completely didn't fit what the team was doing and the whole team chemistry collapsed that season. So there was a LOT more going on that year then Leino messing up. a lot of people were messing up. that team was just a disaster.
