I've ventured this opinion previously, but I think there's a pervasive attitude among younger NHL players that as long as they show up, put up good stats, hit the gym, eat right, and do all of the other things that come with their job of being an NHL player, the games are only a small part of it and don't really matter that much. No point in getting upset about winning or losing. It's only about 20 hours worth of work...

Teams that don't "compete" are just teams that lack talent. You can't squeeze water from a stone.

I like how being 6 feet tall is considered a negative for him like there aren't tons of giant goalies who also stink.

I actually think this was a clever waiver claim. High upside to get a well regarded prospect for nothing.

Two things can be correct at once. The team is incompetent and Chad is obnoxious.

An actual hockey player. Neat.

Autocorrect Revelations

Is a broadcast too critical if no one is around to see it?

I mean, we already knew this.

He actually runs a farm now. Does some standup touring mostly for fun, brings his rescue dog on stage with him. Seems to have settled into life.

Marfans?

All three at once, in an event that will only be spoken of in dark back rooms and alleyways.

I don't even know if I'd bring him in for that. Just can't imagine leaning on that guy all season long and having it pay off. It's better if he gets a lighter load in the regular season on a team where that doesn't hurt, and then he can ramp up come playoff time.

Yup. Rust is a guy you add if you're making a Cup run. Not if you're trying to stop your team from sh*tting down its legs for the 15th year in a row.

Man, this league doesn't need MORE games. It needs fewer games. They should go back to 60 games or something. Let these guys have more gas in the tank for the playoffs and start the playoffs sooner.

Can't believe he and Levi were teammates.

When a guy named Kesselring wants to be part of "the solution"

I think the players should party even harder. Games will be a breeze if your body is used to showing up for practice on 4 hours of sleep, hungover, mouth tasting like an ashtray. We called that sandbagging in my day.

This is the thing. Intertextuality. This move will be evaluated based on what came before (nothing great) and what comes after. If the Sabres actually use the cost savings they've achieved, and the players they've added help round the roster out, then all of a sudden this specific trade looks great. But right now the cheese stands alone.

I agree. I just wonder what exactly that ask was. We'll probably never know.

Kyrou would have been a nice get but I have to assume the Sabres would have been adding a LOT more than Peterka in that deal...

They got something different with the return on Peterka. Would love to see the Sabres trade for Rossi and then they still suck and everyone hates him. Because that's how it would go.

Couldn't imagine caring about Marco Rossi. He's small and the Wild aren't that good. The Sabres trading for him would be more of the same.
