Housley: "I didn't really like the way we started, we got outshot, we found a way to get two goals. I just didn't like the way we played tonight, we gave up far too many chances to a team that likes to run, but in saying that, we find a win to win, that's the positive thing."

Figured I would start a thread for general discussion. Competitions started tonight (mid-morning in South Korea). Opening ceremony I believe is going to be on tape delay tomorrow night unless you want to watch it live at like...6am tomorrow. As far as watching the Olympics, we don't have cable TV so I opted to subscribe to YouTube TV. It's $35/mo, no contract, lets you stream on multiple devices. It's a 7 day trial and then the subscription bills, so if it doesn't work for you at least you got a free week of Olympics streaming out of it.

A win. Led by the first line of Erod-Jack-Reino

A first line!

Leaky Lehner

Trump's stupid tax cut raised my taxes. I'm firmly middle class so I wonder who is getting the cut?

"How can we get people to read this article and generate clicks?" "Put a bunch of Buffalo players on it."

Says the lawyer.

:lol: are we having problems getting to get cap floor?

Wonder if Lundqvist retires?

I dunno. If he doesn't spend half the season on IR then it's no deal for me.

About damn time.

I've been to Remsen. There's literally nothing there.

I never played 6 so I couldn't really tell you for sure. I jumped from 4 to 7. I really enjoy it. It's just taking me a while to figure out everything the game has to offer.

Hm. I'm thinking Forza 7 and a nap.

Let's Go Amerks mentions at some point today that it is an injury of some kind, although it wasn't holding him out of practice.

Casa Mamita was my favorite salsa recipe of the various ones we ran.

You think GM's don't see his recent play and adjust their evaluation? I'm going to keep saying it, but I think people here were drastically over-valuing Kane's value as a rental. I think GM's see him as a question mark. His production lately is why. We put him on a lower line and he didn't do anything. That's not great if a team wants to add scoring outside of their top line.

We over-payed last year because we just had no idea how much her business was going to make and wanted to make sure she didn't end up owing too much in the spring. This year we'll have a better idea so we can probably adjust her payments a little.

Yup.

Risto is Tyler Myers without the injury bug. Trade him if you want, or keep him around because he'll have years where he's hot. But he'll also have years where all he's doing is eating minutes.

Yup. But he is hurting us on the ice. I wanted him to be good for us here but he's just Matty Mo Redux. It's too bad. Maybe some changes to the roster over the summer will breathe some life back into him.

I think there are players on this team who care. We've been seeing good efforts from guys like Eichel and O'Reilly and Okposo. Girgensons had a good game last night. So did Reinhart. It just doesn't matter much. Effort isn't enough. They just flat out lack the talent and/or chemistry to score. And even when they have good nights like last night (3 against Anaheim isn't too shabby) they still just lack that talent/chemistry to close things out. How many times has Risto tipped a shot past Lehner this season? I've witnessed 2 in the last 2 weeks. That's a killer. Should he be trying to get a stick on it or letting Lehner take the shot? Who even knows. There's no cohesive style, no chemistry. None of these guys knows what the other is doing. Or what the other wants them to do. I think this team should be better than it is. But I'm wrong in thinking that because they're bad when it comes to the single most important thing, which is playing hockey well as a team. They sucked at it under Bylsma and they still suck at it now. Botterill is going to have to move more guys and hope that shuffling the deck some more gives a better result. That's all he can do. These pieces, as assembled, do not work.

You need to stop caring about what Phil says in pressers. None of it matters.

Is this a hint?
