I like Rob. I will miss him. He has gotten better year after year. Once I realized that it was schtick, I liked him even more (the time he filled in for the national guy who had a family emergency, there wasn't a single "acrost" or "seen"). He knows his audience.

Wow, KA is playing 3D chess, getting Hughes’ buddy in order to put a package together for EP. Norris is made of glass, but EP is damaged goods too.

Should I know what this means?

Very few hockey players want to be there.

That be Chytil, the guy they got in the JT Miller trade.

He is not a good playoff goalie. They showed a stat that he had allowed the first shot in in like 4 of his previous 5 games. That's nuts.

No reason to assume that in the hypothetical world where he plays 75 games? Sure he’s a legit 2C Ya I didn’t catch the player but they mentioned they had another C with injury concerns which is why Norris would be dicey for them specifically

Ticket availability for tonight: And for Friday... Game Notes. Roster.

Assuming Norris is healthy, how good is he? Is he a legitimate 2C with some individual scoring potential.

Jets have 8 goals in their last 5 road playoffs games. Issues are well beyond Hellebuyck, who played well yesterday

Out here they talk about Norris being more attractive because he’s Quinn Hughes’ buddy. All Canuck talk is filtered through “we can’t let Hughes walk when he gets to UFA”. They’re deathly afraid he will be joining his brothers in New Jersey. People already saying only reason Foote was hired is because Hughes likes him.

Hellebuyck = Clayton Kershaw Great regular season and when the playoffs are here he fails big time.

The were talking about this on the fan hockey show. Led into talk about Pettersson, and the Canucks looking to deal him. Mentioned buffalo as a potential landing spot but they were saying the ship probably sailed for them w/the cozens deal ie Vancouver would trade EP for Cozens but Norris wouldn’t be enough, mainly due to injury concerns

Not the issue yesterday

Looks like the Canucks are going to name Adam Foote as their new coach. Was a Tocchet assistant.

Bad News Barnes!

Why not, The KeyBank Center has a lot of open dates every May...🤣

I travel quite a bit and I attend Sabres road games when I can. No doubt that everything I have ever heard from the outside is that the Sabres mishandled and mistreated Eichel. They might not know all the dirty little secrets that people in Buffalo know, but Perception is Reality. And the reality concerning Eichel is that the Sabres were wrong, and are incompetent to let a player of that caliber, who was under contract, get away. The message they sent to NHL players was that we don't care what you think about your well being, we know better. On top of that Robin Lehner also did a lot of damage with his comments.

Continuous improvement is what Terry should be looking for. He is too patient with losing and with excuses from his hockey FO. Of course, he may be the biggest reason why they are failing and he just might understand that he is.

Gotta be a former Sabre eh?

Take the right lessons from things, too. For example, do you most commonly hear said, outside of sabres circles, that the sabres were justified in their medical stance on Eichel, just the medical side of things, or do you most often hear that the sabres screwed him over on the surgery front? Compare that with how you feel the sabres acted re: just their approach to the medical. it doesn’t really matter what happened, does it. Far more relevant where the sabres are concerned is the league wide perception: if you do not believe the sabres have suffered narratively league wide through the Eichel fiasco, up to and including potential agent and player opinions, you might be without internet and reading this on an abacus Lou is a respected man league wide. Very. The type of guy you want to be seen with. Infer what you want with that in combination with the lions share of my post above. But if you don’t want Lou, don’t complain, ever, about NMCs and players not wanting to come and “WCKAEHD??”

it’s the exact reason we are where we are

Never let perfect be the enemy of better. Let’s strive to take a step, even if it is a short step. Enough steps and we are actually walking.
