I wonder what the percentage of people who want to get vaccinated in NY is compared to SC. Probably has something to do with availability.

No. And it might be worse than +/-.

You make your own luck.

Maybe he should have listed his PDO? 🤪

It’s not even close.

Good point.

I'm not sure I totally agree with the premise of the thread. The hockey we endured under Krueger was some of the worst I've ever seen in my life,… and I witnessed the tank. It's almost indescribable. I think that if Ullmark was back with RK still around, we would still be frustrated with the hockey we were forced to watch. The amount of overpassing in the neutral zone, limp wristed back hand passes, waiting until the other team completely re-set before trying to go through them, basically, every normal hockey play that should have happened but didn't, is happening again. It's obvious Granato knows hockey and really wants this to work. And unlike Calgary that got the new coach boost, then trailed off, the Sabres took time to play well again as they unlearned all the garbage. It's no more than 50/50 Granato/Ullmark for me, and if push came to shove, I'm leaning Granato.

Disengaged and injured, still almost a point per game player. If he asks for a trade (he won't),… don't give it to him.

He was not "checked out." He was hurt.

You really like Ullmark. You always have some of the most staid hockey opinions on this board. The fact that you keep coming back to this tells me you really think we have something in Ullmark. I'm smart enough to defer to you.

Went for a 4 mile hike today with my wife and another couple. Came home, took a shower and put my pajamas on. It was 3:30. Best decision I've made in quite some time.

The Isles play plenty fast.

Who?

Yes, because we are just a bunch of dinosaurs living in the past who know nothing of the modern game. It couldn’t be that he actually is pretty good at separating the puck from opposing forwards, allowing his teammates to get it. A play that doesn’t show up on a stat sheet. Yep. Me want smash.

The whole “Okposlow” trope has baffled (annoyed) me forever. I’ve said it over and over. He’s not slow. There were times during streak where he looked like the only NHL player on the Sabres.

Okay. I lied. I have the time. I watched three NHL games today. It's the money.

I've been watching more and more Av's games (McKinnion is really good.) Their intermission crew is awesome. They are almost like an SCTV skit about what a hockey intermission would be like,… only they're real. Freakin' hilarious.

Or. There is only so much time and money we can allot to hockey and I already sacrifice too much of both to the Sabres. It doesn't mean I don't care.

FAs get big dough. I would guess that they just buy the houses outright.

They are last in goals for against mostly backup goalies. They are 29th in goals against. Is our division really any tougher than the others? If it is, I don’t think it’s by much.

Could only watch the highlights, so of course, that only means goals,... even to NHL.com. D men stop that pass all the time. No one remembers the play.

And once again, there is Dahlin, looking pretty, not making the play. His only job there is stopping that pass. I guess he didn’t want to get any ice shavings on his jersey.

A great reason not to trade Risto or Reino.

My buddy has red/green color blindness. That Thursday night game against the Jets was brutal for him.
