*****. Too damn young.

This is exactly it. The bubble is not going to be something all players can cope with mentally and emotionally. He gave it a shot but ultimately decided it wasn't going to work for him.

The Bruins have a game at noon and Tuukka Rask just opted out ? Obviously good for him on making the tough call since he has a new baby at home. But man...

This should be a good one

Not great! lol

I picked Van in this series on the assumption that the Blues were going to get sub-par goaltending and so far it's looking to be the correct assessment.

The Blues won a Cup and then turned back into a pumpkin

FWIW I expect Montour to be traded before the qualifying offer even becomes an issue.

I think a lot about what might have been if the Sabres had picked Bergeron in the same draft as Vanek. So many bad players picked before Bergeron.

MFT Bruins just got a real weird one in their favor. Mrazek had the puck covered on the ice with his glove and then has it hacked out from under his glove right to a Bruins player who puts it in for the goal. Guess it's open season on goalies in 2020. Carolina comes back with a shortie breakaway goal for vengeance

Just absolutely terrible hockey towards the end of that one. Fun stuff!

This rules

Just calling a lot of penalties

The refs came to play

I've got Carolina winning the Cup

33 here too, so we probably have a lot of the same memories. I hadn't experienced the original jerseys long enough to be upset when they went to the Goathead, so it wasn't a THING for me at 9 years old. My formative memories as a Sabres fan involve the Goathead. As I got older I certainly longed for the return to blue and gold, but I never hated the Goathead like I would end up hating the Slug. The Slug was an abomination and a harbinger of the mediocre things to come. The Goathead was never any of those things to me.

Two of the Sabres best teams in recent history wore the Goathead. It's oozing with nostalgia for a large portion of the fan base.

Heartbreaking that IceJerseys is closed. Their work was top notch and the only place I would have entertained buying a jersey from. Pro weight numbers, fully stitched. Way better than anything you could get from the NHL or Sabres stores. I'm going to have to see how Cool Hockey does with their customization.

Hard not to like any of this.

This is good news. The NHL's jersey rules always seemed insane to me. Let teams do as many jerseys as they want. It prints money and fans like it.

The fact that the team is pushing the league to let them wear the whites at home as much as possible is a GREAT development. The white jerseys at home, which are the best white jerseys ever made, are iconic.

YES. THE RED EYE.

Yeah I caught myself. It's the white piping between the stripes on the blue jersey. Not sure how I feel about it, but I'll get over it lol

Nit picky, but I could have done without the silver piping in the stripes. Actually it looks like just white piping on the blue home. I don't know if that was necessary. But otherwise they did exactly what they needed to do. They didn't screw it up. Now just give me a player who's jersey I actually want to buy and I'm gonna be a happy camper.

At least they let you change the nameplate on the back after the guy gets traded
