Yeah but the Pens didn't lose their game, did they?

What a bunch of time wasting. This game was there for the taking, with just a little bit more oomph. Instead, the Sabres played like they were hung over. A few notes: 1. That second Islanders goal is very partly on UPL for the rebound, but mostly on Paetsch or Clague or whatever AAAA defenseman is wearing 38 this season. A better defenseman has his stick out in time. 2. Fasching's so-called goal is a goal for the Islanders, but it wouldn't have been one for the 2023 Sabres. (It might have been one for the 2007 Sabres, though.) Perceived bad teams get the bad calls... 3. ...and on that, the call to Toronto either took long enough for them to get it right, or long enough for instructions from higher-ups to be passed down. We'll never know which. But still, an honest, less dream-like effort from the Sabres would have resulted in a win. NYI isn't that good. And the Sabres are running out of time to have efforts like this--did they forget that they have to make up for what happened in November? They can't be part of an "85% league." They've got to go 100% until April if they want to make it.

The Sabres need to wake up and start playing higher event hockey.

Oh also I'm not forgiving Lucic or Neal. The Sens lost that game. That's what makes his smugness so awesome.

no u

Yeah if you get a cool bartender who brings a Roku stick to work, it's doable.

Drewland *****-face Stafford.

He certainly was.

Yeah we definitely see different guys here.

I don't think so at all. I think he's been solid most of the season. Is he ideally a third pairing defenseman? Sure. But he's not garbage, either. He's exactly the type of guy you want on a team, because you can't pay all six D top dollar.

Yeah but he was absolutely fantastic against Tampa on Saturday.

I think this decision needs to be made on a game by game basis, with consideration of the opponent and of injuries.

He does deserve it, and Karlsson will win it even though it would be more appropriate to award the Masterson to Karlsson and the Norris to Dahlin.

Graham had sent out a tweet a couple of days ago asking anyone and everyone for the old video footage. Apparently Straw had it.

ESPN+ gets commercial break privileges not ordinarily available to MSG?

How was there not a goal there...

"Brought to you by ____ vodka." "Drink responsibly." Pick one. No one drinks vodka responsibly. It is made specifically for irresponsible drinking. It isn't Bourbon, ffs.

There we go. Skinner on Skinner violence.

I don't think I'm going to love this ESPN announcer.

Oh I am REAL ok with 12 right now! He's the goalie. Or which Skinner? I'm so confused.

This whole Skinner thing is very confusing. Will Armand Tanzarian be making an appearance?

Awwwww

I can't. The strongest thing the doctors allow me is Truly Pineapple, and even that is only once a month.

While I'd like to, it seems that (a) that would be justifiable and (b) I don't have powers to arrest people. Not even @Taro T, who has committed many, many crimes.

It's just so dumb. Sorry, @Doohickie, I know you don't like it when I criticize the NHL's broadcasting "system." But it's just so dumb. Have a fun dad birthday, ink.
