I think Benson is fine. The NHL is not too big for him.

Here's what I'm hoping for. ☠️

It's a craft you have to develop. Starting too high can ruin you.

Levi gets a 3-0 win tonight vs Syracuse. His first pro shutout. That included killing off a 2-minute 5-on-3 Crunch power play in the 3rd.

I'm going to Walmart now. Want me to pick one up?

So much went wrong today.

I meant they aren't laying the lumber like they were just a two weeks ago. They have to get the Canucks off their game.

Everything is going Vancouver's way. Nothing going Buffalo's way. They need to get angry. I don't care if they get called for it. Bust some heads.

The effort's there but they are out of sync. Lots of little mistakes.

Canibalism.

This is the 131st meeting between the 1970 expansion siblings. Vancouver is 58-49-19-4 all-time against Buffalo, including a 24-30-8-3 record on the road. The Canucks are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games against the Sabres (3-1-1 in their last 5) https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/game-notes-canucks-at-sabres-112924#:~:text=MATCH-UP INFO&text=Vancouver is 58-49-19,18) in 27 career games.

We had plenty of jump. But so did the Wild. They woke up after period 1 and matched our effort.

Well, what more can you do?

Minnesota found their legs in the 2nd and Buffalo got bottled up, except for a few chances.

Good period for the Sabres, except for the 4-1. 16-4 Sabres in shots.

They sold out on offense. Worst case happened the other way. But it took that big a mistake for the Wild to do anything. So just keep playing hard and we'll get it back.

The triumphant conquerors of the Western provinces return to vanquish the marauding band of Wildings that invade our waterside castle. Sir Tage of Thompson is expected to fight again after a successful round of bloodletting by leaches, performed by our finest barbers and alchemists. Dilly, Dilly! 🏰

I think you are right.

https://puckpedia.com/tax-calculator Now you can see how much more or less of a tax bite a player gets when changing teams.

You have to remember that for most of the NHLs existence, 75-80% of teams made the playoffs. So you would have to be terrible not to make it.

Did you have money on this? That's the spirit.

Look at 31 other teams. Injuries happen. (See Toronto) Especially when you stand in front of pucks moving at 100mph. See for yourself: https://search.app?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.espn.com%2Fnhl%2Finjuries&utm_campaign=aga&utm_source=agsadl1%2Csh%2Fx%2Fgs%2Fm2%2F4

Seeing Reimer play well eases my concerns some, as his two starts in Anaheim he allowed 9 goals. Speaking of, I would bet there was an unspoken "loan" between Adams and the Ducks to borrow Reimer until Gibson got back.
