Oopie needs to be better positionally. It’s as simple as that.

^This. I’m sure this will meet with overwhelming disagreement, but a game has never been decided by a single play. Ever. Single scores, yes, but never single plays. We tend to ignore that because the vast majority of games aren’t decided until late in the 4th quarter. But there were 60 other plays by each team that occurred before then to reach that point. Ironically, I has this discussion last year after we beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead. People point to the TD pass to Knox that put us ahead as winning the game for us, but Elam’s interception in the endzone long before that in the first half was every bit as important to the outcome.

I believe we’ve split the two games with Boston so far this season with each team winning on the other’s home ice.

I think it’s because offside is not a procedure infraction like false starts, illegal motion, etc.

Am I correct in reading this as DC being 4.4 goals behind where he should be to this point in the season? If so, a few games with better puck luck and he’s right back on pace. I’d be more worried if he wasn’t getting the opportunities in the first place. Something tells me when they start going in, the floodgates will open and he’ll start scoring in bunches.

I repeat: Brett Murray is not a “tweener”, he is a middling career AHLer at best. At best.

For what it’s worth, the NFL has it listed as “offensive offside.” Edit: Please disregard as I now realize you weren’t referring to the Toney play on Sunday.

Point of clarity: you can have as many players on the LOS as you want, but you need a minimum of seven. Although lining up 11 makes absolutely no sense and you’d render most of them ineligible as receivers as only the two at the ends would be eligible. Your point about formation is a good one as WRs often check to see if they’re covering/uncovering an end man as required or not as well as checking if they’re onside. It’s funny that you say “Am I good” as I’ve heard exactly that several times while being within earshot on the sidelines in the past.

JJ made his mark in the tougher mens World Championship, but I appreciate the idea none the less.

Pitiful and sad. And what’s with the applauding at the end?

I won’t be surprised if they lose out the rest of year. Late season swoons are nothing new to that team. Last year they went 8-3 before finishing at 9-8.

Given how many times Allen and the offense have left the field with the lead in the final two minutes only to see the defense wilt and give it up, I never feel comfortable. Bills fans are like Pavlov’s dog in that regard.

So speech is only free if it’s absent any consequences? I could never agree with that.

Didn’t see Levi giving up three straight in the shootout. Oh well. We suck again.

Geriatric finally scored! It’s a hockey miracle! That, ir the apocalypse is upon us.

2nd consecutive games vs the Habs where their hot goalie is the difference.

I, too, have a deep respect for KO. But at this point I think that ornament moves better than he does on the ice.

His lack of accountability in his post Philly game remarks also had me shaking my head. Lamenting missed opportunities by an offense that put up 34 points, on the road, in inclement weather, in a hostile environment, while your defense gives up 37 points and once again craps the bed in clutch time is very telling. I could understand if some players on offense feel like he doesn’t have their backs.

There’s a difference between attacking free speech and being disappointed in the exercise of it.

Only watch the Kings up to the point where you need glasses.

Given their overall problems on defense all season and knowing full well the forwards are a big part of the problem, I really don’t have many positive things to say about Stillman or the other Amerks’ D men. I’d say he’s just a mediocre AHL defenseman on a team full of poor to mediocre defensemen. He has his moments but they are few and far between.

Thanks. I’ve always understood these things, just never thought it was that common to have more scoring chances than actual shots in a game.

Is it common to have more scoring chances than shots on goal? I honestly never really noticed.

Of all the countless examples of teamwork McDummy could have offered up and then choosing the terrorists responsible for the deadliest attack on our soil in the history of our nation as the example is beyond the pale. Ironically, few of the players he addressed in the room that day have a strong living memory of the event itself and as such they can’t really relate to the gravity of the attack on 9/11/2001. McD is dummer than I thought.

“And still not out!”
