Feel free to expand upon what this actually means in real terms. The Sabres are going to find a goalie that matches Jack Eichel somehow and it would be different if he wasn’t here? They are going to build the fourth line differently because Jack Eichel is on the first line? I don’t know how this works.

We need someone that they can’t pressure so easily and it will make them pay if they try.

He’s pointing out the fallacy of your arguments, but you’re not picking up on it.

So you’re way younger than the average age here.

These ozone penalties are awful.

I don’t understand. The hole in his crest is wide open.

Straight trash. Did he really though?

Seriously? He stopped and turned his back. Credit for keeping his feet. To hit someone I think you need to be moving.

That was 50/50 between them tying and an EN goal.

UPL was great… Except for all times he sucked balls.

Can’t watch. How is it going?

The alert came from my phone from my calendar which is subscribed to some Buffalo Sabres calendar. Clearly it is incorrect, but I don’t know who’s messing with the calendar I’m subscribe to.

Postponed! I just got an alert on my phone that said the game was postponed but I don’t see anything on Twitter.

Craig Rivet cannot shut up about how great the Netflix (Hulu?) series formula one is. Said he hated racing before and it made him a huge fan.

I was thinking I’m OK with Colorado and Minnesota. Everyone else can go pound sand.

FWIW, they had it re-engraved. Apparently when they picked the watch up it was already wrapped, so they didn’t bother to check it.

I would add all teams below the Mason-Dixon line extending out to the Pacific Ocean and all of Canada

There’s no such thing as dis or dat or dat or dat

Marty posed this question on WGR today... Which was worse: 1. Grammatical error across Marleau’s left-hand glove gifted to him, it reads: “Most games played in NHL history 1768th NHL games.” 2. Sabres teammates gave James Patrick, on the occasion of his 1000th game, an engraved Rolex watch that said "Congratulations on your 1000th NFL Game".

Every team needs players with certain characteristics to slot in roles given typical game play: Guys who: Carry the puck into OZ Face other teams' top line PP specialist PK Winger who plays off top center Speed guy that puts others on heels (maybe more than one) Plays in front of keeper and tips shots etc.... I'm sure there is a better list to make, but you get the idea. Certain roles need to be filled. Obviously, the next step is to map current players into those roles, but if anyone has a good list I'd like to see it.

Well isn’t that interesting.

I’m tired of the antiquated division set up. The closer we can get to schedule parity the better. I think the English Premier league does it the best. Since you can’t increase the number of games to 93 (3x each), I would reduce it to 77. Start the year where all 16 eastern conference teams play all of the 16 Western Conference teams twice back to back to reduce travel (not necessarily consecutive days). Each city hosts a team from the other conference every other year. That is 32 games and now the teams are in mid-season form and have built up point totals. Now play 45 games within your own conference by playing each team three times. Since this is an odd number of games you either alternate the number of home games you get each year or each team plays a special game in a neutral city/AHL affiliate, etc.... another alternative is that you play one team four times. Maybe make this a special game called rival weekend, but I don’t like these hype type of things. This is the weakest part of my suggestion. At that point you have 77 games and the top eight teams from each conference start the playoffs with 1 vs 8, etc. Eliminate all this horseshit about a strong/weak division, etc. balance the schedule as much as possible, reduce travel, trim a few more games to get more space and rest in between games and make it a truish league.

That doesn’t pass the eye test.

or maybe just send some warm wishes to a guy grinding away and getting recognition.

That’s just a cynical POV of change.
