Four points behind Minnesota. Dallas has four games in hand to make up one point. Vancouver and Winnipeg have one game in hand to make up one or two points. Vegas in freefall after playing a slew of non-playoff teams and now they have a stretch against much better teams. They are 17th now, but could drop down to 14 without playing another game.

I’m going 12 with a complete Vegas collapse.

I’m not sure I’m reading the standings the same as you. It seems as though they’ve been caught and it’s the other teams that have games in hand.

What draft pick will the Sabres get from Vegas?

Kyle Connor scores another. That’s five goals in five games.

Their chances of making the playoffs drop precipitously after every game. They used to be over 60% and I think they’re below 50 now.

He is 5th. Aho recently passed him. Kyle Connor and Barzal are both on his tail.

That boy is smooth…

4-1

Vegas already losing 2-0 after the first. let’s go Winnipeg.

All of that reads like a good goal to me.

It was good according to the rules. It was the correct interpretation.

Here’s an example I pulled out of my ass… Proper positioning has to come before checking. If he’s unhappy with the general play, I can see a developmental coach telling people to lay off the checking to get their general positioning right. i.e., don’t be Ristolainen and skate 30 feet out of your way to throw a body check.

I think they throw enough checks that it’s clear that it’s not forbidden. Whatever was said, had to be a special case.

I’m not sure if you listened, but apparently there were some fans behind the Vegas bench that brutalized him all game.

Rivet is very specific in his comments about jack’s lack of emotional maturity to handle even mild adversity in his life. He specifically mentioned that the team lost that night.

Long story short, a bunch of nine or 10-year-olds with Junior Sabres jerseys on were in Long Island for an event. The Sabres played the Islanders that game, and the kids/parents had tickets. A group of about 35 watched the team lose, but the kids still all wanted to see Jack. Rivet escorted the group down by the locker room area for them to meet Jack and when he came out he looked at everyone, rolled his eyes, turned around and walked back through the curtain and into the locker room. There he stayed. Instead, Kyle Okposo came out and stayed for 20 minutes and signed every jersey and every piece of paper he was handed.

We would have known what kind of person he really was, but the meddling owners got in the way.

An absolutely brutal first hand account from Craig Rivet regarding Jack five years ago.

It was made 4 years ago.

He might be bad in that spot because he is bad in that spot and he’s being put there to be better in the future.

What do you think that is, a 95 flex?

This is the perfect photo to remember this incident by.
