Irrelevant

I like a good story more than anything, and The Tank ending like this could be the kind of thing you make a documentary out of that would make The Four Falls an enjoyable watch by comparison.

Doesn't sound like it. Maybe he sees some potential with these kids. I bet he'd like to at least call a playoff game before he retires.

Playing a good third should get them a win. Pitt isn't really doing much.

Jesus RJ bringing the heat in this intermission segment

I'm gonna be so sad when RJ decides to hang it up. The best to ever do it and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

Talk about a team I wouldn't want to be a fan of. I'll take the Sabres over whatever has been going on there since Osgood retired.

Rightly so my ass. Dude has abused himself for this fan base and for what? You want him to be the next Tim Connolly? A guy falsely ridiculed. Because I don't. I've made that mistake and I won't be making it again. Jack gives everything his body will let him give every night. It's not his fault it's been a total dumpster fire around here his whole career.

Given that Bylsma hasn't worked his way back to a HC job I'm not gonna say he was a good coach, but he was definitely the least worst.

I don't see his role as SabreSpace Whipping Boy changing

Welp, the effort was fine. They just got beat.

The kids are alright

Exactly. But here we are. And they always end up looking like a black stain on the front page of this forum until they're inevitably closed much too late, logged forever in the bowels of the internet that never forgets. Patrick Berglund doesn't need anyone here to defend him against sexual assault charges, so why do it? "Looks bad, man." is just about the only response any of us is in a position to give. Anything beyond that starts looking foolish at best.

Ah yes, another square on my bingo card. Have fun telling on yourselves gents.

No one needs to be told how the legal process works. The only people who jump in with these "innocent until proven guilty" comments are people with an axe to grind about things like "cancel culture" or think "rape victims should speak up sooner" or whatever else is rotting their brains on Facebook.

He's not the first journeyman goalie to get hot for a few games, and he won't be the last. Can't we just enjoy it for what it is?

That's a yikes from me

I like this whole experiment because a good team should give pretty much any NHL caliber goalie a chance to win every night. These kids learning that it's possible to win with some random guy in net is a good thing. They'll remember it and they'll remember what it took.

What even is NHL hockey?

This is fun.

Another noble effort going on here in front of a high level beer league goalie.

I think, given the situation, not accepting losing is madness. I mean, you're going to be unhappy if Houser can't get them the W tonight? Be real.

However things shake out for the coaching situation, as well as the roster, it's impossible to say that this team isn't more fun to watch. They're giving an honest effort every night and that makes it a lot easier to accept the losing.
