K-9

Must be an interesting dynamic for Donnie G and some of those players he’s known since they were kids in the US development program.

Anyone else get the impression the refs spoke to both teams between the first and second and informed them that zero crap would be tolerated? Because the cheapness Columbus displayed in the first was nowhere to be seen in the second.

Ok, now it’s just some apocalyptic biblical crap goin on.

I know it made it 7-2, but that was an important goal for the Sabres. Needed it to stop whatever momentum a tired team was starting to muster.

None of this get too cute crap just because you’re way ahead. That’s how bad habits creep into your game. Stay on em Donnie.

Kuraly is a classless, goon it up punk. There is no place for that kind of classless crap just because your team is getting whipped on the scoreboard. Try scoring some goals yourself Columbus.

Is this friggin game ever gonna start? Geez!

Everybody understands it’s all about the QBs. But losing Von means less ability to negatively impact opposing QBs. Sure would have been nice to have him harassing Burrow and Mahomes when the time comes.

I’m convinced you can’t really tell Pham anything.

Arguing the odds of making the playoffs vs. arguing whether they are out of the running for the playoffs are two different arguments. Perhaps we shouldn’t conflate the two.

It’s sports. Anything can happen and until you are mathematically eliminated you are not out of the running. That’s why they play the games. You’d think Hamilton would know that. Then again …

Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated. Thanks to you as well. Power is an old man now. Still not old enough to drink legally, but one helluva D man.

Not allow? Being lazy or not is strictly up to the player. Nobody can make anyone not lazy. What’s Cozens gonna do? Give ‘em mean looks? Yell at em? Ask them please don’t be lazy? Besides, I don’t think their problem is one of laziness, anyway. They give effort more often than not. They’re just not very good at the game.

No. Just … no.

Hard to believe he’s just 19. 19!

Over the last half dozen games or so, their defense has generated much of their offense.

If ever there was damning evidence, the contrast between the top four and bottom four is it. Talk about glaring.

I’m content knowing that it’s the journey that’s most important.

You’re right! They’ll all soon be getting eight figures very as they forge HOF careers. Sample size, schmample size. As a Sabre fan, a few good games out of a player is all I need to see!

I prefer a Jersey Christmas:

Total conjecture.

Yep. McDavid can be Dylan’s wingman any time he wants.

FFS! Being excited over a dominant stretch by the kid line is not anointing them of anything. You seem to think we are all idiots or something. If you want to wallow in your phucking hockey misery, feel free to do so. But stop begrudging the rest of us the simple joy of watching a good performance now and then.

I’m not sure you can teach that.

Any info on Kulich and the Swedes?
