K-9

Well to be fair, they did hit the post on the shot they were able to get off on that final faceoff.

Sorry SF in NS, but a team that has learned to play “a tight defensive game” simply does not get hemmed in and dominated in their own zone as often as we do nor does it constantly have problems clearing the front of the net like we do. The Stars were just the latest example of that. Sure it was only 3-2, but I can’t attribute much of that to a good defensive performance. Currently, we have one top pair D man, one middle pair D man, and one third pair D man. The rest can all go and we wouldn’t notice the difference.

Lots? Wish I could agree. The way I see it, we are 3 ( possibly 4) D men and 6 forwards away. I think we’ve found a goalie.

The more I watch us “compete” against the good teams in this league, the more I’m convinced we are light years away.

Wide right, no goal, 13 seconds, 2024 solar eclipse. 😂

Viewed it from the Buffalo Outer Harbor and even though the sun only poked thru for a few minutes here and there, it was a fantastic experience. Neil De Grasse Tyson said to have a clear view of the horizon to really appreciate how the darkness rolls in and he was right. It came in off the lake and just enveloped us in darkness, while off in the distance it looked like a pink and orange sunset. Again, the clouds made it less than optimal, but it was worth every second of the experience.

Toker slams the door in the shootout and the Amerks skate off the ice with 2!

Toker reverting to form in fine fashion.

Not a cloud in the sky yesterday and today, but we will wake up cloudy skies tomorrow and it looks like they will remain all day. God farts on Buffalo once again. 😂

Bisonette is a regular hockey savant, he is; the Rain Man of hockey commentary.

Good Oopie means we have a chance. A slim chance, but a chance. Bad Oopie means no chance at all. Needless to say, we got bad Oopie today.

Call the timeout Donny! 😂

Lazy play by Quinn and crap goaltending by Oopie.

Nice Levi is a puck eating machine lately. 33/35 tonight for another solid .942 save percentage.

Where ya sittin’ Promo?

I assure you, the great ones are certainly not a dime a dozen. That said, a great QB can certainly turn average into good and good into really good.

Fair enough.

I use my non-dominant hand in a backhanded fashion. This way it feels like somebody else is doing it. 😂

It ain’t about owning/not owning one’s opinions, it’s about not being a douche in the process, which Mr. Allen was, but that’s just my opinion. 😂 Opinions can and should be flexible based on the information they are based on at the time they are formed. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Watching this team keep spinning its wheels lost its entertainment value a while ago. The simple fact is we regressed from last season. Not saying the season hasn’t had its moments particularly where Oopie is concerned, and Benson has been a revelation. But all in all, just not much to write home about.

I’m all for giving Power the time he needs to grow and develop into the defenseman we all want to see and he has shown some glimpses in the midst of some gaffs, but what is this about this team being “competent and good” since he got here? We’ve been inconsistent at best. At best.

Isn’t that what we said last year?
