Ex-Sabre is his role.
I was going to say "opposing forward for 2-4 games this season".

2nd complaint...and not to wade into the gender wars or start one here..but...why is it in the past 10 years whenever I personally had a conference call with a supervisor that was a male, the call lasted about 10 minutes...and when I have a supervisor who is a female the same material in a call takes up 45 mintues of everyone's time? My current supervisor...10 minutes of material takes 60 minutes with talk about her health, her weekend, her vacation, etc.
While I can't comment on your team, my team is predominantly male and we talk about all kinds or stuff on our staff calls. I'd say for me, it brings the team closer together and helps when things get tough. I don't think it's a coincidence that this is the highest performing and most cohesive team I've been on; we really have each other's backs and there's zero toxicity.

Of course not; you need to put a bunch of compression on to make sure it's consistently loud.

Wouldn't it be cool if Tage's line is still clicking along, Cozens' line is playing at a first line level, and Krebs grows a bit and our third line is *also* a first line? Yikes, the rest of the league won't know what to think.
Might feel like 2005-7 again.

Nonstop rain is keeping me from cutting the grass.
Tomorrow is another day.
I managed to sneak it in yesterday evening between the noon-time rain and night rain. Wasn't even that wet that the mower complained much.
Complaint: not enough time to ride bikes.

Reminds me of when astute observers noted Reinhardt not smiling during games.
You know, kinda sad we never got a Reinhardt == Reinstein filter here (a la Pomminstein).

Yes, in the right deal without an extension.
I would say this too (but not that deal @Norcalsuggested, too much). The problem is someone will offer a Norcal-like deal because they plan on extending him and they're set for GT for ~9 years (assuming he's good). Peg is going to maximize return, which means more than a rental price.

What about 1-2 years?
As discussed in the other Hellebuyck thread, it's unlikely he's going to sign for a short contract, so we either pay a bunch for 1 year, pay a bunch for 1 year + a big$ extension. If Levi didn't look promising, maybe. As it is, a player with a shorter situation (i.e. Gibson but good) would make more sense.

The GM is not demanding a "hometown" discount from the players. That's not an accurate depiction of the contract signings from much of the core. The players who have signed agreed to get their contracts reworked sooner and are willing to take less for immediate guaranteed money that is more than their current contract. Dahlin took a different approach than some of his teammates. He took a bridge deal rather than sign an extended contract. The player and his agent calculated that waiting longer to sign a longer term deal will prove to be more financially beneficial as the market-rate for players of his caliber increases. When Eichel was here he got a long-term extension. If he would have waited and become the player that he is now, he would actually be paid more now. The GM was willing to give an extension to Samuelsson sooner rather than later because the organization felt that in the not-too-distant future he would project to be a higher cost player if it signed him at a later time. Both sides in the bargaining setting make their own calculations for what is best for their own respective needs.
To be fair, given Dahlin's play at the time of his bridge, I'm not sure if the team would have even offered one. He was not looking like a sure-thing D back then.

So he hasn't won at every level he's coached at. Glad we cleared that up.
Fair, although generally you give someone a pass for not winning a cup after (checks notes) 2.34 seasons in the NHL. You sure got him on not winning the NCAA the year he was there, though! 😉

Don't worry, that's not Cozen's video.
Cozens is out of frame pacing the moose.

We definitely don’t have that problem. I ordered something at 9:15 am on Wednesday. It was on my porch at 3:30 the same day. Wtf?

Depends on where you are. In Philly, we'd order stuff at 4PM and it'd be on the doorstep at 7AM. That was when Amazon was doing the gig thing and we lived in a townhouse farm. I assume the early bird got up, picked up all the deliveries since they're all in one place. In Ithaca, it's never that quick, although it's still within two days for most things.

The face mask was a clear no-go. The nasal mask is better, but when you breathe through your mouth with it on, it's scary. The straps, the pressure, the psychology of knowing your mouth and/or nose are covered are too much.
It's as annoying as hell, but I did get used to it. I will say my new one (after the previous was recalled) is way better. Somehow it doesn't feel *as much* like it's trying to kill me.

I've seen some speculation that he will remain with the Leafs and that they may in turn try to buy out Murray.
Murray nixing that trade to Buffalo may be one of the best hings to happen to the Sabres, lol.

I love Novikov. I think with the defensive depth in Buffalo now both Ryan and Nikita will be in Rochester for the majority or all of the year. Next year they will have chances to join the Sabres depending on what they do with Lybushkin and Erik Johnson.
I think EJohns retires, going out with a cup win is a fine way to wrap up his career.

LGR’s right. It’s the bread.
+1, I'm generally disappointed whenever I have subs that the bread is kinda mush. DiBella's helped Wegman's set up their sub shop, so there's a solid heritage there.
Primo Hoagies is the best bread of any sub I've even had and probably the best cold cuts too. Focused in Southeast PA, but I see they've been expanding to Pittsburgh, NE PA, Albany NY, and a handful in other parts of the country.

Seems like Benson has a bit of that Skinner-esque 10-2 skating style. Strong on his edges, probably helps him when working around the net. I like it.
Yeah, I see it too after you pointed it out. That's really cool, I love Skinner's skating.

I'd be interesting to see if "elite" players follow that same curve. My guess is yes, but I could also see a high plateau of hitting their stride at like 20-21 and maintaining until their early 30s.
