Rochester's complex is basically the opposite of Buffalo's. Everyone in the Rochester metro wants people to think they're rich and not from Rochester, everyone in Buffalo's metro wants people to think they're blue collar and not from the suburbs.

That's because Rochester is Smugtown USA. Nothing is too good to not think you're above it.

You. You're good.

I'm fond of this Dylan cover at the moment

I prefer the beer offerings at Blue Cross.

Lol you think Freeman has a lawn

Wow what a bench mark polish up the participation trophies

I dunno, I didn't hear anything there that hasn't already been established here. We know the cupboard is pretty bare.

I think the problem for Botterill is that the carnage of GMTM's attempt at an "accelerated" rebuild is extremely gruesome. A bunch of junk contracts for old guys who were supposed to be "leaders" and a bunch of players who are talented but either chronically hurt or in some way problematic to the team culture.

You mean like Darcy?

There we go. A grown man is allowed to show frustration.

Dude is 41.

My conspiracy theory is that J-bots had heard rumors about the players on this team being super problematic and he took the job hoping that it wasn't true. But it is true, at least partially. And all the GM's he might want to trade with believe the rumors which is destroying his ability to make meaningful moves like he would have in Pitt. I don't think he realized how handcuffed he would be.

US is gonna win this game. They have all the luck.

Agreed. I think Eichel turned a corner this year. But other guys haven't followed

Better than watching the Sabres play hot potato.

Terry was all over the place on his last shift too.

Fair lol

Well then

The US doesn't look great so far...

Just watching the rest of the women's downhill.

Mhm.

You'd think we'd be better at that kinda thing here.

That's friggen sweet!
