K-9

How many stupid plays can the D make in five minutes? We have the dumbest collective group of defensemen in the league, bar none. So frustrating to watch the ineptitude shift after shift.

Benson leverages his short stature against taller, bigger players frequently.

Savoie was just one of many disappointments for team Canada.

You know you want one:

Yeah, I watched. Best I’ve ever seen him play.

Eric Comrie: AHL All-Star goalie. 😂

Agree entirely except to say the Bills have been in playoff mode since they sat at 5-5 after the Denver loss and everybody and their mothers wrote them off as done for the year. The Miami game is their 7th playoff game since, imo.

There’s a chance Clifton may get out of my doghouse yet. Maybe.

C’mon, let’s get the extra point to make it secen.

When did Dahlin start to suck?

Two for three, but who’s counting.

Give yourself a kick in the balls!

Mitts boom baah!

He showed well in his brief re-hab stint with the Amerks earlier this season, so there’s that.

The sequence that started the Östlund breakaway goal was funny as he fell while pursuing the puck along the half wall in his offensive end, slid into the boards, and watched as the Czechs took off in the other direction. In getting back into the play, Östlund only got as far as center ice before the Swedes regained control in their own end and #9 hit him with that beautiful stretch pass to send him in on the breakaway. That play doesn’t happen if Östlund hadn’t tripped and was delayed getting back into the play.

He’s got 24 points in the 11 games he’s played with Wanatchee, so that might be an indication how he’s doing without Benson so far.

“Eschew you, pal.”

And may the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits.

Always nice to see Vegas get thumped.

Sucks for Savoie. Kid can’t seem to stay healthy.

Given the disaster we are currently, how would we be able to tell?

I agree entirely that they have the cap space, assets, and the actual desire to swing a deal or two. And we’d all like to see them get some guys in who can help turn it around. What they don’t have is control over trade scenarios involving players who may refuse to come here. My only point is that it is a limiting factor for GMs in the league. Both in terms of players they want to bring in and/or players they want to move.

I didn’t say nobody wants to come, but since an average of six players on every team has some kind of no trade restriction in their contract, the odds are that a targeted player will have that clause. The better question is, of the 206 players around the league with a NTC, how many of them don’t have Buffalo on their list? Would you wanna play for Buffalo if you had a choice?
