Two t-shirt gatling guns.

We're getting crushed on shot differential. But we're winning. Woah, the Bluejackets have a t-shirt gatling gun.

Ullmark is in net but he really hasn't faced anything interesting.

42

Malone has been noticeable since the opening puck drop. He was getting in the goalie's face early.

Not much to see. Pretty boring. Would liked to have seen more from a guy like Larsson who is basically on the cusp of being off the team.

Sound is working for me, it just cuts out now and then. I think the Bluejackets stream is kinda crappy quality.

YEAHHH!

I know, I just wanted to paraphrase that scene because I love it ?

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, Dahlin time's here!

You beat me to my correction. I don't think fistbumpgate was anything either. But I do believe what I've heard about the one way street of frustration between Ryan and Jack, and my source isn't Hammy. I also don't think it would be fair to say that Ryan didn't like Jack, just that he was at times frustrated with Jack. I think both guys liked each other just fine.

It wouldn't surprise me if Reinhart was a problem for Jack. I know Sam, at the very least, loves himself some video games. So does McCabe. Maybe Jack is his best when on a certain schedule and Sam (and others) was disruptive to that. I also wonder if part of Sam's turnaround was Jack putting his foot down? Could Sam regress without Jack's daily influence? Maybe something Botterill is worried about... Paul Hamilton is irrelevant to me. I'd love to believe that what Jack and Ryan were up to was a joke, but that's not what I've heard. edit: I should clarify that I think the fistbump thing was overplayed by sports twitter. But the idea that there was no friction between them doesn't square.

Sometimes I wonder if Eichel is the kind of guy you just throw into things headfirst and let him try to figure it out. The whole "mentor" thing really doesn't seem to have been a good idea, nor was the attitude of the squad in general. Although I think part of the failure of the mentor model was the players that were brought in to fill those roles. Not exactly Sabres/NHL legends/role models. Especially when the coach is a joke and the players all know it. I think the last half of last season really showed him (and Reinhart) maturing and taking responsibility for the team. The old guys weren't there to take the flak.

Yup.

Excellent.

I'm not buying it. I believe what I've heard about O'Reilly being frustrated with Jack but Jack not having a problem with Ryan.

Real soccer = Everton getting thumped by the last place squad.

Bingo.

He's a rookie. This should be expected. It's why we all wanted him to sit this season. If he survives the season and comes back in the fall doing the same things then, yeah, this experiment is done.

Where's MODO with the family guy clip?

I really didn't think Allen looked that bad yesterday. At least not for an undeveloped rookie QB playing behind a bad line and with a trash receiving corps. The only bad play he really made was that pick he threw when he should have just thrown it out of bounds. He might actually get better if he can survive long enough to start really processing the game. His reads at the line need some work, but that could come along in time. I'm more mad about how bad the rest of the team is. And when your coach takes over for defensive play calling in the second game of the season, you have management problems.

I don't get the logic behind that. I think if the ball comes loose in-bounds it shouldn't matter where you are physically.

I don't think I like that explanation. I think that should have been a live fumble.

I like the challenge here.

Hey a touchdown neat
