Say what you want. Makes my life easier knowing who to put on ignore.

Are we allowed to say this? Last year it was met with scorn. I guess when you are eliminated by New Years Day it can get old?

First time since 2018 I’ll be local for the home opener. Win or lose, I’m grateful to watch the game tonight with family. Expectations are low, with the absence of Kesselring, the addition of Bryson and question marks in goal, again. For the sake of the psyche of the team and fan base I hope for a fast start. As long as Igor doesn’t have a shut down performance, they have a good chance. Vegas has the Rags as a slight favorite (-115). Must Win!

Just like our Sabres

I grew up loving the Yanks, it was a family tradition passed down from Dad and Uncles. The current Yankees are missing too many baseball intangibles that it takes to win a championship. The don't play the field well, they throw to the wrong bases, they are just average base runners, they have an unreliable bull pen, and they seem to score by home runs rather than clutch hitting up and down the line up. The Yanks have playoff wildcard talent but nothing in that mix that makes them special. I would like to see the Jays make a run at it.

It kinda is.

I'm happy to look up how many teams have 7 goalies under contract, but create multiple poll questions...? Too lazy.

Sooooooooo true

Outfield tickets were like $2! Honestly I thought the Blue Jays were screwed when they let the Yankees come back on them in Game 3. In fact if I was in my home state at the time I would have bet the Yankees to win the series because that's how it goes. Luckily I couldn't. 😆

Except when we hang 5 on their starter in the 1st period, they pull that guy, and his back up shuts us out and we end up losing 6-5. 🤣

This is the beauty of aging. When I was younger this playoff drought would have crushed me. Now, turning 60 on Saturday, my stress level is low, with no expectations. If they win, I’m happy but I’m over a loss in seconds. Now if we get in the dance, well then it’s stressful again. But it’s been pretty easy the past 15 years just living day to day life and not worrying about sports results.

It sure seems like it. For the last 10 years, every time teams play their backup against Buffalo, they look like the second coming of Patrick Roi.

Do they? Excellent point!

This really is our only hope. And how long is Kesserling out? At least Power is back, and I can't imagine he does not throw some weight around this year. I mean, if he doesn't, he's just going to be booed off the ice every night, no?

I’d take that. Home field

Tell us how you really feel and don't hold back. 😅 At least Drury is doing something because he and his Rangers management expect to win. So even if his moves do not work I can respect that he did something.

Truly an unbelievable fielding. And what a nail biter! Just so happy with this series W. First in 9 years. Job’s not done.

And the funny part about that is the mower was on the slope of a ditch and the physics of actually kicking a rock up into the road would be mind blowing. Yeah, that’s a big one. I’ve never understood why people will give a bigger buffer to a parked car than they will to the moving one. I get that people don’t have a good feel for exactly where the right side of their vehicle is, but that still should lead to crossing the yellow line with a car right there.

You're just getting optimism from me today. Zach Benson, Josh Norris, Jack Quinn and Owen Power will have career years. Justin Danforth and Shane Doan's boy are going to be more popular than anyone imagined when they were acquired.

Any updates?

All I wanna do is have a tiny little honeymoon period to start the season. But no. Instead, a byproduct of Adams' incompetence scuttles that as well.

Hi, welcome back. Certainly glad to see you today. And I hope you're having a wonderful day. So I tell you what. Got my regular old 18 by 24 inch prestretched double primed canvas up here covered with a thin layer of a liquid white. It's all ready to go, so let's go. I thought maybe we'd just do a happy little winter scene. Let's just have some fun, what the heck.

On a related note and a huge pet peeve of mine(and I have probably complained about it before😂)…if there is any sort of vehicle pulled over blocking part of your lane, it doesn’t mean you have free reign to cross the double yellow into oncoming traffic. 😡

I think the reality is we will know by the final buzzer how this season is going to go and it may not match the score. It's not the injuries causing elite tweener Bryson to slot in, or dressing a backup goalie with zero NHL experience, that worries me. It's the team's attitude and mentality. If the team plays like they want to win and gives a full effort across all 3 periods, regardless of the final outcome, it would be a big enough change from last season that I might be optimistic for the remainder of the season. I know the "must win" is used in jest, but this game is very much a "prove it" game for me. I think this team has the talent to make the playoffs--even with the injuries--but I don't think the team has the will or desire to. I would like to be proven wrong.
