Hear me out here, maybe if a league doesn’t want its players acting like jackasses (both parties involved), actually penalize players. The wrist slapping that takes place in the name of “playing the right way” “shoulda kept his head up” “don’t put yourself in those situations” has lead to this. They want the players to police themselves but there is no real on ice retribution. Maybe a tussle with the opponents similar style player. (That’s another unwritten gem) Don’t go after a skill guy if you are a 300 PIM guy or whatever today’s equivalent is. Don’t go after a guy if he’s 6inches shorter and 50 lbs lighter. They took away the teeth of the “hockey police” but don’t call penalties the way they should. What’s that leave you with? An unpoliced league where guys who understand the nuances (see that ass ***** Marchand) go unchecked doing whatever they please on the ice. If the league would just pick a lane. Either a) call penalties that are actually penalties (the Greenway incident just a snapshot of the lunacy) b) let the players actually actually handle it themselves. I’d love to see someone break their stick over Marchand’s beak with him writhing on the ice. Otherwise, this is what you get. Stupidity.

I don’t think there is a single chance Michael Peca coaches for the Buffalo Sabres. Mostly because it’s a good idea but also because he’s seen the tire fire up close and personal. He knows they don’t have the right players here to win.

Nope. It’s the players…who suck.

Not gonna happen

How many 1st OA picks have spent two seasons in the AHL before playing in the national?

Yikes. Are we unloading 21 & 28 for career minor leaguers?

This is not surprising

With a whole 60k in Salary cap space, I’m struggling to see how they fit the $5 mill under the cap but maybe they have another Andres Bjork they can add us.

I’d take offers for those two as well. No one is above this.

When’s that cut off? 30?

I agree on Power. I’m not sure I’m there with Dahlin. He’s pretty much a finished product. A high risk high reward offensive player that struggles with the basic concepts of defense.

I’d ***** a billionaire. Preferably a woman but a Billy is a billy.

Seems like a way to lose a lot of money

I don’t see any end in sight. I’d be for it, it can’t get any worse.

Sabretooth’s birthday? I’ve seen enough here.

As long as the players are on their way out as well. I don’t want a single one of these heartless losers anywhere near the franchise. As a matter of fact, just fold the team.

Yep. He’s 6’6”. How does your face end up 2 foot off the ice.? Certainly not doing anything hockey related.

No way am i exonerating the player. You don’t want to get hit in the face with a stick, don’t put your face where the sticks are.

How does a 6’6” player have his face 2 feet off the ice?

There are many ways to spell Terri but this is one I hadn’t considered.

Joke was on the first page and probably every other one after that.

It’s not that they can’t afford the players(fit under cap whatever), it appears they are choosing not to. If this report is to be believed. I’m leery of Adams understanding of how to work the cap at all tho. You are judging Tage based on his on ice celebrations with teammates?

It’s too late. The ship is sinking. Whatever he does is just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
