Bravo on getting in your political commentary, as anti-intellectual as you think it is not. As the for the "spirit" of your post... Hey man, you tried. Some people like the comfy, cozy feel of a government that is in total control. Imagine that.

I don't know why anyone questioned whether he'd accept the assignment. If he doesn't he gives up the rest of his $5+ mil for the season and does not help his cause if he at all expects tire-kickers over the summer. Dude has "earned" over $50 mil playing in the NHL, whatever happens, he'll be fine.

In your mind that may be true. In reality, someone is sincerely advocating bringing Brucey in.

We are definitely not firing our coach. I can see our GM being fired and the new GM agreeing to keep RK on as head coach.

Apparently respects Steve Smith. Wishes he could tell stories about Samson, who is recently single. Mentions Bogo several times: playing cards with him on the plane, coming over for pre-game dinners. Vacations in places like Scorpios Mykonos.

Eichel has really, REALLY bought into RK.

AND THEN FIRE HIM! THAT'LL SHOW 'EM!

Aren't Duff and Marty both married? Not to each other, but, you know, wives at home. Where are their rings?

It's also good that Hutton is getting a few wins. He needs his confidence back.

I could be there with you, except Olofsson has been my rallying point for the Sabres for some reason. He and Eichel really make a great scoring pair and they're fun to watch. I'm happy for them. Weird, I guess.

I luvs Viktor. ?

NICE!

Skinner, RJ. Skinner.

So, late mid-season, the benchmark is less OTs, more regulation time wins, mmm'kay?

TRADE HIM!

Eichel's assignment.

See. Mix it up instead of being predictable.

Isn't there a way to mix up clearing the defensive zone? It's so predictable.

See, that's the ERod everyone likes. Why can't ERod be that ERod?

Uhm, if the problem is that management is bringing in players that suck and lose games then management has created a "losing culture" by bringing in players that suck and lose games. That's what a culture is: "the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group."
