Hoss, your RJ is better than mine, but I have that picture in a frame on my wall!

I just think it's that most people don't find it especially interesting to re-fight a debate that raged for what, nearly a decade? It was tired when it was relevant, and it simply no longer matters. If you want to toot your own horn, go for it, but you can't reasonably expect quality discourse to come from it.
Edit: I could also point out how useless a small sample is for a goaltender, especially a cherry-picked sample of a few games you deem more important.
Yes, why evaluate a goaltender on how he plays when playoff survival is on the line? What would that tell us about how good he is? And who else but I would "deem" such games more important. Let's weigh Tuesday nights at home against New Jersey in November just as heavily.

Because he's a weird, smelly curmudgeon, likely with bladder control problems. I've had enough of the basement, thanks.

How long is that line? Is your hook scraping the bottom of Lake Erie?
Really? I had "elite" shoved down my throat here for years, but now with the passage of time the topic can't be revisited without being called a troll? But that's the way it is here. The past is erased. No one is ever around to admit how wrong they were. Darcy Lindy Millsie (and eventually I will have Terrsie). Come on, man up.
Ryan Miller in the six games in which his team has been eliminated from the playoffs: 25 goals against on 171 shots. .854 save percentage.

Miller plays poorly late in a series. Huh.

Miserable out today, so watching hockey instead of playing golf
Just me, or does Tavares drop/lose his stick a lot?
Really interesting, somewhat technical, "Inside Baseball" story on why Tavares might be breaking his stick so much. Strength, stance on the faceoff etc.

Nevin markwart?
4? A still can't think of one. Who do you have?
I used this resource and did a search. It's kind of fun to see how the names are supposed to be pronounced. https://devilsmedia.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/2014-15_pronunciationguide.pdf

This is really cutting edge analysis on my part, but I have never liked McLellan based on looks alone. Always looks like he is coming off a 5 day bender. Thats all I have on this particular candidate.
:lol: :lol:
I don't know. It might be cool having an older Patton Oswalt coach the Sabres.

######? Yeah.
Holy , he's a lot of things, but he's not a .

Ditto.
You agree he's a ?

When these old guys are fully rested on Saturday morning and have had their coffee, they can be quite prolific! This is every SabreSpace wet dream I've ever had — and my worst, sweat-drenched nightmare.

I have no idea what kind of mission control station that is, but it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
Please do not do this just because you're not finding the right job right out of school.
In fact, if anyone reading this is considering law school at all, please PM me first.
Holy crap! Eleven is paying it forward!!! Free law school for the first five PMers!!!!!!

I'm not sure this is true.
I was going to say that as well, but I don't have any data to disprove it. It's so subjective. I think most fights are carny side shows to entertain the fans during the regular season. A lot — I want to say most — are born out of nothing except one team wanting to "regain the momentum" or "save face" after falling too far behind to come back. Some seem to be "staged" and others follow clean hits (which can still be dangerous, of course). More study is needed here. Look at me, going all #analytics and #collegeedumucation.

Forget his skill. What I can't think of is an NHL player named Evan. Evan is your daughters prom date, not a hockey name.
Who scouted this guy?
Evan Markwart. Wait...

Actually (literally), there were four in the league last season.

I scored a 12 pack of CVS brand toilet paper for 7 bucks. It's the single ply, which lasts forever. Then Fudge Stripes were on sale for 1.99. My Fridays don't get any more exciting than this. TP and Fudge Stripes. #iwannabesedated

For those in the entertainment business, help me score tickets to Billy Joel closing the Mausoleum on August 4! You can never get tickets when they go on sale, and then the scalpers/ticket sites have a field day. Surely someone knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy. Maybe Swamp knows a guy who... OK, I'll stop.

fighting is good in hockey. gets the frustration out so that it gets vented less when the players have sticks in their hands.
less fighting= more injuries
No offense, but I always thought that was a crock.
FWIW this year was the lowest ever for fighting in the league. IMO it's dying a slow death.
Interesting. Thanks.

“If there is any interest in my carrying on, it probably wouldn’t be exhibited until some time next season,” Jeanneret added.

I do not understand the fascination with Bylsma. Between Pittsburgh after the first season and Team USA, I just don't get it.
Recognition. Cup. Pittsburgh. Pedroola.

Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good. Basic, first step: get rid of fighting. Despite all the information the league has about concussions, the fact it still allows the game to be stopped so guys can hit each other in the head is asinine.

:lol: :lol:
Rubber band in the stretch! Toilet paper in the rear!

All true. Still the best Sabres team ever.
The 99 team beat them. I heard it on my AM radio.

Troll!

The fear of fines and punitive suspension should heavily weigh on the minds of every player. Borderline hits should be on the tails of the curve and not an every game occurrence. Players shouldn't be blowing through yellow lights and going to frame by frame video analysis to see if their speeding through the intersection beat the rule with the time resolution of an atomic clock. Not every hit needs to made. It's a part of the game, not the game itself. When in doubt, the axe should fall on the side of caution, not leniency. Your desire to finish your check should not take precedent over the career of a fellow player.
That's a start.
Well said. I'd go up the food chain at least one more and fine/suspend the coaches, who make a lot less than the players do, generally. The strategy of targeting Visnovsky had to come from Barry Trotz, who should have some empathy, having lost his neck in a game in 1983.

It would be a nice gesture, but, come one, the man isn't going anywhere. The Pergament article is near-confirmation. If I had to guess, Rick will do the bulk of the home games and select road games — let's say in the neighborhood of 35 games — after next season. And all home playoff games and any road games where a series can be clinched. Rick Jeanneret will be fine.
