I mean I'll take a Tarasenko goal, but Kyle should get one, too.

You know who needs a goal? Okposo.

A jewel of a shot.

Good shot Erod.

WTF, the refs are definitely betting against Florida for this game.

Like Okposo, don't mind the Swamp Cats, and know Swamp Cat STHers. But somehow the idea of 3 Sabres captains in a row winning the ST within a year and a half of escaping this team is just too friggin' depressing for words. Dislike to varying degrees the other 3 teams remaining, so SHOULD want Fla to win it all, but can't get onboard the 3rd time being the charm.
You need to look at the positive side: if the Sabres South win the Cup, it's an indicator that we're this close -> <- to being a contender.

It's a shame. Dallas had a really good first period for the most part.

Maybe a bit of fatigue kicking in, a lot of hockey has been played.
Also my bracket is fairly trash, a panthers win over the Oil, would allow me to redeem a little bit lol

That was satisfying in the end. However, these games have been starting slow; the action doesn't really pick up until the third(s).

Just don't have another OT in me right now.

Both these teams are super well-built with solid coaching. You can see Maurice's chill in Florida's play just like you can see Laviolette's patient aggression in the Rangers.

Yeah, I dunno but Florida played that period like they're ready for a vacay.

All this misplaced machismo about upper body constitution of hockey players, I submit as exhibit A, the best hockey player on the planet right now:
For players looking to do fast quick motions with their stick, muscle mass can actually be a hinderance. Weight training (generally) trains your slow twitch muscles which would likely be seen as a detriment to the insanely fast motions these guys need to perform.
Sidney Crosby is 5'-11" and 200 lb. Why is he so hard to play against? Is it is 24" biceps (shoutout to all my Hulkamaniacs out there!), no. It is his tree trunk legs and insane core strength. I am trying to limit my searches of shirtless men (all people, really) on my work computer, but I feel confident Sid is not a beast, either.
At 5'-10" and 5'-11", respectively, if Benson and Crosby were standing more than a foot apart in the same room, you would have a hard time telling who is taller.
My theory is that many of the Sabres players have never been properly coached (or they just refuse to do it?) on how to play with proper positioning, leverage, and angles (PLA ... can I get that as a trademarked thingy?). Connor Clifton is 5'-11" and 175 lbs (on wiki, anyway) and he knows how to hit. My corollary is that Sabre-Spacers see the lack of proper PLA and think they are "too small" or "too weak".
What you're saying is that they need MMA training. Ever tangle with a Super lightweight MMA dude? They have all of what you're describing.

Yup. Too many skinny scrawny kids on this roster in general (and more in Rochester). If they don't already have a specialist hired they should get one to work with all these guys adding muscle. Cozens is a beanpole.
Easily solved by the team adopting the Carnivore Diet. Sure, their tinkle might be super dark and pungent, but they'll have dense and robust muscle-age.

Never. He'll always be Tommy Dangles to me.

Basically what I am saying is Hamilton's take is lazy. A. size does not equal grit and Benson and Quinn are perfect examples of that. B. there simply is not a forward in this draft who will be available at 11 that is small because I just don't believe Catton slides.
Not highlighting this to debate or reject the point, but the mention of Quinn in this context is interesting. Quinn is not someone whom I would use as an example of grit, at least not right now. I had to pause and consider why it drew my attention; ultimately I can neither accept this or reject it because I personally haven't absorbed enough of his game to argue either way. Is there consensus that Quinn is a gritty player?

I betcha most of them do; the Buffalo News is held together by duct tape and IOUs right now.

This has been creeping up on me for a while: Is Gretzky okay?
I mean, obviously, he’s doing well enough to participate in a cable network sports broadcast. But he looks and sounds haggard.
He reminds me of this:

Are we trying to make the case for Mitts?
I like Mitts and am happy he got onto a playoff team, but that last series against Dallas exposed him for having zero where-it-matters playoff grit. His line's shifts were short in the first round and even shorter in the second round.
It will be interesting to see if he gets signed there in Colorado. Maybe the devil is in the details and they liked what he brought.

Ya think? I gotta watch that closer.
Yeah. There was an entire segment devoted to it during one of the intermissions in one of the prior series.

That was satisfying.
