It's that and he's selling out to stop what's in front of him by coming out so far. If he doesn't control the rebound the net is wide open on either side.

Okay.

Good. He won't be ready for the next shot.

Glad we didn't give one up late. Let's keep it up.

Well this crowd makes me feel less embarrassed.

Ugh, Dell.

Might as well. He'll be in by the 2nd period when Dell gets pulled.

Someone know how to track the Pegula jet?

Fans: DO SOMETHING!! Adams: We got Malcolm Subban. Fans: NOT THAT!!!

Actually went looking for my post about the new NLL TV deal with ESPN, which vanished mysteriously. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

Not being directly responsible for giving the other team 2-3 points per game?

Will you serve La Chouffe Blonde?

Yeah, sorry. I came across his post today. Maybe he can go next time. The Harp is strictly a Bills bar, though they have hosted Sabres viewing parties during the playoffs. Keep in mind they are next to the TD Garden and can't afford to piss off Bruins fans. I was just at the Bleacher Bar a few weeks ago and they had a sign up promoting Sabres games.

I tried to find my earlier post on the NLL ESPN deal but couldn't find it. All NLL games will be on ESPN+.

I think The Bleacher Bar on Lansdowne St. under Fenway Park shows Sabres games.

His long nightmare is over

CBD aids healing.

Yeah, but...

It's ironic how we spread the blame for Dahlin but shift all the blame on goalies. You'd have more of a point if Dahlin's gaffes weren't so singular. It's true that hockey is a team game, but at any given moment responsibility shifts from one skater to another. Once the puck hits Dahlin's stick, he's on the hook. I also wouldn't get too dazzled by Dahlin's assist stats. 5 of his 11 assists come on the power play where he quarterbacks play. So assists tend to come with the job. Right now Dahlin is -4 this season (and -60 for his career.)

Works for dogs.

Hasek Goathead.

Actually I do. First, his gaffes are spectacular. Second, he has many mini-gaffes that don't result in bad goals but might end a Sabres offensive rush or stall a break out. The kind of things people might gloss over. He allows himself to get cornered with the puck. And he's not strong enough to win battles in the corners. So yeah, in my view he's a larger net negative than other Sabres defensemen.

So when does Granato say enough mistakes? Is it fair to other Sabres like Butcher and R2 who get sat sent down for poor play while the golden child gets a free pass? When does Dahlin endure even one consequence for his play?

Uhhh, they do. Many times. But we only notice when they don't. If you actually took a count, there are way more defensive blunders than bad goals. But when a goalie bails your defense out we immediately forget about it because a goal wasn't scored.
