Fixed. Vegas can win theirs at any point, but Dallas would have to get 0 points.

Aren't many of them just very talented kids who've just recently moved out of their (host) parents' homes and are now suddenly very rich? Picture fraternity brothers at many universities. Sure, if they choose to, they would likely know how useful the iPads could be. However, many of them probably treat them like their home devices, using them as distractions/toys and, if their personality are arrogant/defensive, as excuse machines.

That whole SO looked too easy for the shooters on both sides. Jankowski just took too long to make up his mind. Nice save by UPL to finish it, but otherwise 😬

Dang it, I'm going back to bed. Wake me when it's the 2nd.

Something doesn't add up: Rochester and Toronto both have 13 games remaining, Rochester has 2 more points (70 vs. 68), but Toronto has a higher point % (0.576 vs. 0.556). 🤨 Edit: Rochester has played 4 more games, so point % is right. Why do they have the same GR? Are teams not playing the same # of total games?

But they're reaping all of those intangible benefits. 🤗

I'm pretty sure it's based on +/- and faceoffs.

I think it's a skill that one has to develop over time with experience, rather than just being told what works. Crosby spent a long time specifically trying to get better at faceoffs. He was successful, but it didn't come overnight.

If the Kevin Costner blockbuster Draft Day taught us anything, it's that they'll be able to trade a sliding highly-touted draft prospect with character concerns to get all of them back plus a faceoff specialist.

Someone saw that he's considered a fan favorite - something about a post declaring him "the greatest Sabre of all time" - so they had to start him. It's all about giving the fans what they want, you know.

Again, yes he was. Never engaged in seven years is wrong.

My biggest issue with Jack's statement was the "only took seven years" part, which is patently false. I haven't been to a lot of games over those seven years, and none over the last two, but at the ones that I did go to, the fans were very engaged. I was at the 10th game in "the streak" (against the Sharks), and it was crazy loud the whole game. In fact, the only issue was that the really loud "1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10 ... WE WANT 11!" chants came too early in the 3rd before the Sabres blew the lead. Fortunately, the pulled it out in overtime. If Jack had said that he hadn't heard it that loud in years, or something like that, it wouldn't have been a big deal. As you said, a poorly run team has caused an undeniable decline ... consistent losing will drain the most ravenous fan base. Instead, he literally said that the fans weren't engaged at all during his entire tenure ... horse s**t! A player isn't entitled to express "feelings" that are lies, especially when they're shots at the fans, not management.

He also said that they must have been booing because they wanted him here. All-in-all, he came off like a real douche in that interview.

Well ... there's a reason that they're billionaires in the first place, and it's not because they invest in things that they know will lose value. Plus, they have lots of options for places to move the franchise, but could you imagine the impact of losing the Bills on the community (and I'm guessing that it would have a disproportionate emotional impact on the poor guy working five jobs.) Can you say leverage.

Is it just me or does putting the brand name and NHL crests on the back of the pants shells make them look like they're on backwards? Especially since there isn't a Sabres logo on the front anymore.

I would say that once you actually have a core, you don't have to ask who they are.

Alex Tuch 19GP 7G 14A 21P $4.75M through 2025-26 Jack Eichel 3GP 1G 2A 3P $10M through 2025-26 And we got other cool stuff (Krebs, late-1st) 😁

Interestingly, they actually tried to split the difference between the two original Arenas jerseys. The first one just had a big white 'T' with no 'ARENAS' at all. The second was a true 'ARETNAS' jersey will all letters in white. Here, the name is contrasted to the point where, from far away, it looks like the original. Up close, however, you see the 'ARENAS' name like the second one. Kinda neat, from that standpoint.

So ... somebody said there's a football game on. Anyone hear about it? 🙈🙉🙊

I didn't realize Skinner was in a contract year again already. 😉

Yes, play it every day. Another spinoff: https://wordle.starwars.guide/

Unfortunately, I don't have faith that the Bills will move on from him if he doesn't get a HC gig.

Josh called tails. It came up heads. Bengals called heads. It came up tails. Mahomes is one lucky SOB.

That replay looked like a soccer player taking a dive.
