Then just say "Risto is part of the problem." There is 100% chance that I may get cancer. The 100% serves no purpose other than to be dramatic.

I’d love to see numbers that Risto rims the puck out any more than any other defensemen on any other team. Not saying you are wrong, just curious if the numbers match your I test. And Risto is still the best on the team at tying up a forward on those 50/50 pucks, where a teammate then gets the puck, a play that happens way more often than him rimming the puck out with no stat.

I don’t think 100% means what you think it means. It’s like saying literally when you don’t mean literally.

But it did give them an advantage. There was a player involved in the offense who shouldn’t have been because he should have still been on the bench until his teammate came off.

They kinda brought it on themselves. It's just really bad optics to be talking about maintaining your lifestyle, while the world was getting laid off and you were playing a part in that, by laying off the very people who are supposed to help you make your crappy team better.

That’s not funny?

We can both be right.

Comedy by attrition.

I hate those giraffe posts. They stopped being funny a while ago. (But I’ll bet they get funny again after a couple more months.) But LGR is overly dramatic and gets butthurt whenever someone calls him out on it. Here’s his quote, “Ristolainen is 100% part of the problem with this team.” What does that even mean? Does it mean that there is a 100% chance that if Risto was better, then the Sabres would be better?... I mean, this is most likely true,... how could it not be? Or does it mean what I think he means that Risto is 100% the problem? As in, get rid of him and the Sabres are good? That is laughable. We just don’t score and have iced AHL level forwards for 8 years.

Yes. You adding, for the thousandth time that you hate Risto really elevated the conversation.

I believe 100% that you think this is true.

I picked them to win, but ***** Vegas. They got every team’s “next” player.

Yep, but let’s trade Risto, cuz he’s the problem. Or even better, let’s get rid of the only two guys on the team to score because we Tanked for them. Brilliant.

As Sabres fans, we have no authority to criticize any team-that-is-still-playing’s pregame activities. 2-1. Nice.

Did I really see someone say that the Tank worked up thread?! JFC.

Our problem is, and has been, forward scoring. We may even have set a record.

My defensive range would be 26-31

I can respect this answer. I still think this season was worse. And that is sayin' something.

None of that has anything to do with the fact that the Sabres season was the worst hockey any of us have ever had to watch, ever.

A close 2 to 1 win? Our division was not the best.

This is the first season where I was able to watch certain games, and actively chose to not watch. And what I chose to do was not in the least interesting. I simply chose to not watch and be bored. Worst. Season. Ever.

I really hope that you and nobody else thinks this is true.

What’s amazing is that the hockey this year was worse.

You never want to time a market, but PA’s question was absolutely valid. Was this the worst season in Sabres history. I vote yes.
