You’re not wrong, but the glass half full vs half empty perspective has been well earned by the two teams in question here.

If one looks to find offense in something, one will find it. Every time.

Carlin would have a field day with virtue signaling whoppers like turning “homeless” into “unhoused.” Louie CK takes a run at such things in his bit regarding the “R-word.” (And mind you, I consider that word essentially off limits — but CK makes great points in his bit about the word’s elimination from common speech.)

Here’s someone who fits my “this year’s 2021 Reinhart” model. Marty Necas is a 25-year-old 5-year veteran RFA who wants more than Carolina is willing to pay him. Friedman says he’s expected to hit the market. Wants term and the Canes won’t do it. 6’2” skilled, and fast. Former 12-overall pick in 2017 who broke out with 71 points 2 years ago after 3 years of 40ish. Dropped to 53 last year. Not particularly physical or a shutdown guy, but his puck possession numbers are strong. Plays RW but is naturally a centre and reportedly wants to play centre. This is the the type of guy you could get for the Reinhart price of roughly 2 picks in the second half of the 1st, or equivalent prospects. He shouldn’t cost more than Cozens on term and you’ve got him for at least 2 years for 5 or 6 if not. He’s basically your Mitts replacement to a “T”. Which is ironic because reports say he was going to be the Sabres pick at 8 in his draft year before newcomer Botterill overruled the holdover staff and took Casey.

He was just doing normal admin things when things got offensive. Also, I know you weren’t saying there was an intentional effort to mock the homeless and homelessness. I think I understand your point — this is sort of a cheap, casual cruelty. I just … it’s too much. Too sensitive. P.s. I thought I posted this hours ago. Found it sitting on this tab as a draft of sorts.

First time out on the kayak for the season. Was targeting walleyes primarily, but end up with a very mixed bag. On the water at legal daylight. barey got the 2nd rod set when the first rod fired. Had regular action for about 90 minutes or so and then the bite just died. All told I took home 2 walleyes and a 10” perch, but also caught half a dozen smallmouth bass and 4 channel cats. For a short time it Seemed like everything wanted to take a swipe at the crankbaits I was towing. I think I paddled about 4 miles today. That’s plenty for my first outing of the season. I’m good and tired. And hopefully back at it again tomorrow AM.

Just saw Byram ejection but honestly it looks like they both give a cup check. Bo’s a little firmer. Toss them both or neither.

Anyone else think the moople laffs will quit on berube before Christmas ?

Let’s hope Dylan playing well at worlds carries over to next season.

Should be a good series with Rangers and Panthers. My guess is team with better special teams wins

At this level, can he do it at the NHL level though?

Would he have been tossed in an nhl game for this? Didn’t see the play.

Bo’s got more of mean streak than this board recognizes. In a perfect world he ends up Duncan Keith. Same size, similar approach.

Agreed. It also helped that the Canucks were willing to buyout the guy who didn't fit anymore (OEL). They get full credit for being smart and bold.

Sure, but let’s not dismiss it as a pipe dream either. This is how good teams have stayed competitive and mediocre teams have made the jump. You’re not going to sign Lindholm and Joshua for anywhere near that money, but you can find the next Lindholm and Joshua. If you want to contend, you have to.

This is a bit of a Royal Flush, isn't it? I mean, sure, we could this. We will likely try to. But most of the teams in the league will be competing to find their Lafferty, Blueger and Joshua. All 3 are free agents this off-season. If you want players like that in reality and not theoretically, it's going to cost a lot more than $3.8 million.

Adams has been a compete failure at pro scouting ufas. He's been trash at filling out the roster to this point.

isn’t it really just about spending your money wisely? I think it @GASabresIUFAN who has talked on here about Adams choices at the bottom of his roster. While Vancouver was paying $4M to Lafferty, Blueger and Joshua, the Sabres were paying $7.2M to Okposo, Girgensons and Jost. That’s not just about having a better bottom 6, the difference might be what allows you to acquire an Elias Lindholm. It”s not something the Sabres have really had to worry about as they stocked their roster with players on their first and 2nd contracts. But it’s something they need to worry about now.

Albany had the second lowest attendance in the league this year with like 4700 average...Bandits led by a mile with an average of over 16.5K with Calgary 2nd at a little over 11K.

More of a hard stick to the groin than a slash. Showing some Pronger tendencies right there.

Power to Cozens earlier now Cozens to Power. Byram got thrown out for a slash.

Revisionist history usually takes longer to kick in. Your initial post said on the bench and I called you out on it. Nothing made up. Bottom line. Also, I am aware of how the goal was scored, so there's nothing to admit. He was on the ice, he has an assist. The very fact that he has an assist means he was deemed to have been involved in the goal being scored. I don't make the rules of the game. Have a great weekend and I hope your forgetfulness doesn't impact you forgetting where your phone, wallet, or keys are.

This one’s for JJ

The Bruins lose… I liked their effort level. The Sabres win… The other team played badly. Precious gems from the guy who preaches nonstop about toughness, defensive ability and physicality, yet chooses a screen name of a guy with none of those attributes. ZERO. If Gilbert Perreault played on this team today the only time you wouldn’t piss on him would be if he was on fire. FOREVER!!! 🙄

Against Poland, JJP with a penalty shot goal and the PP looks good running through him.
