The leading nominee for the ugliest special hockey jersey 2024.
I’ve seen worse.

Maybe he was just cleaning the counter with Ajax, and realized he needed more, and got out the credit card to get an Amazon delivery?
And you can’t really tell how much Ajax you have left unless you line in up nicely.

I thought it was funny. What's wrong with a ref showing some humor when announcing a call?
I loved it.

Yesterday was just another normal day. I played a really crappy round of golf (so yes, normal day). Today I find out that I’m off to Arizona tomorrow for a second adoption. Just a tad bit hectic in this house right now.

Some players disliked what some fans did. So what! They expressed their displeasure by stop doing some meaningless "stick salute". Big freaking deal! The players are allowed to express themselves just as fans are. There is nothing disrespectful about stopping a meaningless act that was in reality overdone. If that hurt some fans' feelings then tough. My recommendation to these overly sensitive and whining and sniveling crybabies is stop being a pathetic snowflake and toughen up. If you throw shiiit---then don't cry when it symbolically gets thrown back at you.
And I’m doing so, they actually did something spontaneous. Sign me up. As has been said in here by a few, the real thing the fans give a ***** about is the scoreboard. No one cares about this story if they have something like 15 more points in the season.

I'll go on record right now, Levi will start at least 25 games next year and have a winning record.
In Rochester?

I am going to take a different stance. That stick raise IS important.
No coincidence that the practice started with the Rags in MSG. It is customary after a live performance that the cast recognize the audience’s applause and attendance with a bow and signs of appreciation of their own. And it happens every night, not just on special nights. It is a basic, “ you’re welcome” to those that made the effort to be there.
I like that you chose a scripted event as an example.

Arena experience snobbery! Lol.
There’s nothing so ear splitting as the sound from a noise meter graphic during a kid-heavy, sold-out matinee.
You should see it down here. They have the volume jacked up so high that I could feel an uncomfortable vibration in my chest. I don’t know if it’s just certain seats, but it was genuinely uncomfortable.

So game over, just skate off the ice, go home everybody, move along? Beat the traffic and get home.
To me lame describes the entire hockey experience at HSBC anyway, with the exception of the players salute after one of their rare home wins.
I suppose the masses do eat up that stuff. Hell, look at every building when the noise meter video pops up with the most blatantly obvious loop you’ve ever seen. Me? I don’t want a script. I want spontaneity.

If the salutes are lame then why use them for special occasions only?
What is lame about them exactly?
I really want to understand what is wrong with a connection between the team and the city it represents?
Why is it bad? What does it hurt? Why is a show of courtesy and admiration on both sides not a good thing?
Why can the Bills stay on the field afterwards, walk to the stands, salute the fans, give them balls, gloves, jerseys, and whatever - but the Sabres cannot do this simple gesture for their fans, which are mostly young kids looking for a connection?
Have we come so jaded as a society that being nice is a bad thing?
I will never understand this point, and I am thankful for that.
They’re lame because they’re done all the time. They’re the old choreographed fights of the Andrew Peters era. They’re participation trophies.

Yes. I can guarantee that the first time the team skated off without doing, some fans were pissed. And went online to say they were!
You're transferring your cool indifference to others.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around…

Has there ever been a fan that left an arena angry at not getting a stick salute? I wish they had decided to stop them because they’re lame and should on be saved for special occasions.

I’m watching Seven right now. My wife decides to walk in during the final scene and starts talking her head off. She’s so good at that, talking during the payoff of every single movie.
Ok, maybe “talking her head off” wasn’t the best choice of words.

Here’s a fun thought for everyone. Last year they could put the puck in the net. This year they can keep it out. Maybe they think next year is the time where they tie it all together.
I’ll escort myself out now.

I wonder how much more there is to the Jiricek situation as well. Definitely something significant.
That whole thing is so screwed up when you hear more about it. He’s told to get a place in Columbus and then quickly after is sent to the AHL. I don’t blame the kid for being pissed.

It was poorly executed, like a Matt D'Agostini breakaway pass. I was trying to extend the sarcasm ad infinitum.
You? Never!

I’ve lost track of AHL affiliations. After just hearing that Cleveland is the farm team for Columbus, it got me thinking. Columbus has a population almost 3x as high as Cleveland (no idea how the metro areas shake out). Are there many cases in sports where the big league team (Guardians) are in a city that much smaller than the farm team (Columbus)?

Odd time of the season to do it so there must have been a major disagreement on how to proceed.
I don’t disagree with the firing at all just find the time of the season a little odd.
He wants to move certain people at the deadline Davidson doesn’t want moved? That’s about the only reason I can think of for it to happen right now.
… or the other way around, I guess.

I assume this is a joke? Kaleta is no coach.
Matt Ellis as GM and I just might burn my 1970 vintage Sabres Jersey.
... and probably after the best candidates come off the table.
It’s time for some new batteries in the sarcasm detector.

But he was that stupid once... with Ullmark.
I understand that. But don't Reinhart him by giving him a minimal bridge deal to free agency, sending the message he's not part of the long term.
3 years feels right to me.

I hope Kevyn has learned from the Ullmark situation:
- Don't let a good goalie get away.
- Looking at Boston: Just because you have a good goalie doesn't mean you shouldn't have another good goalie.
He’s restricted this off-season.

13th in GAA. 14th in save%. 4th in shutouts. I they finally have themselves an NHL-level goalie. He can leapfrog a bunch of people very quickly if he keeps on this recent pace.
