    I don't have an offer because I have no interest in him. Let him create a ruckus in the locker room for another team. I'm not giving up valuable draft or prospect capital for a disrupter on his own team. I want our GM to use his assets to acquire talented players who are mature and not problematic. 

    I’m kind of here. Would I love a Tkachuck in concept?  10,000%. But with the reported “maturity issues” we have nobody in regards to veteran leadership to rein that in at this point. And I don’t hold much hope for that to be resolved anytime soon.

    Just watched his post skate presser and the kid is just off the charts even keeled and genuinely embracing it as an opportunity to round out his game.  Also thinks that the road should be bumpy and not easy.  He's got such a consummate professional attitude.  It's like whatever is the complete opposite of entitled, that's Devon Levi.

    It's not the logic. It's far from it. It's the mojo. The goat heads conjure up Peca and May and McKee and all those hard working tough teams that wore them. Historically the blue and gold have often been considered soft for their eras, but that was never said about the goat head teams and we just seem to step it up wearing them. It's illogical, but it's real. 

    White goat heads at home would be the ultimate. I’ve never liked home darks.

    That was a playoff-intensity game. What exactly was unwatchable?

    The recent officiating, lazy reader.  Already addressed earlier.  The team came out tonight and played hard and tightened up defensively. I watched a complete effort tonight with a few missed chances and a tough deflection that I saw happen to Zhitnik 800 times in the 90’s. 
    As someone else pointed out, I’ll gladly watch this game, loss and all with that effort vs. the Dallas game. I’ll also take this effort over the Islander game which was decided by a debatable call.  I was there.  They were indeed outplayed in that game. But there they were, in the final minute still trailing by that goal. And don’t tell me you’ve never seen a team win a game they don’t deserve to. 
    Overall, I’m optimistic on the outlook of this team but there are some holes to fill and lessons to learn. I was hoping one of the lessons learned would be the grind of playoff hockey. I suppose the first lesson is to avoid committing ticky-tak penalties and fighting through defenders blatantly laying on top of two of your forwards,.. with the ref literally looking directly at it. 
    When you get this far after this long, it’s tough to watch it kind of fall apart this way. Maybe I’m the fool.

    Well, I'm attending my first in-person Sabres game tonight since pre-pandemic.  It will also be my first visit to the Islanders' new arena (it's much easier to get to the new arena than the old one is, as the new one is a 10-minute walk from an LIRR station, which is about a 30-min train ride from Penn Station in NYC, while the old one had no train accessibility).

    This is also the first meaningful Sabres game I've attended in who TF knows how long.

    Go Sabres. 

    I'll be doing the exact same thing tonight as well but coming from the opposite direction.  I bring a great W-L record with me when I see the Sabres play.  Even during the tank years..  SO glad that era is over and we have an exciting team to watch again.  For sure the biggest game since '11

    The puck going 100% over the line has always bothered me.  If the puck were a uniform object (like baseballs and tennis balls are spheres), then it would be much more clear to see that it crosses the line completely.  But its a disc which can flip flop/stand on end/etc enough where it could possibly be the difference between a goal and not.  Or conclusive or not.  

    I feel like the NHL would be better off adopting the football rule where any part of the oblong object penetrates the back of the goal line would count as a goal. 

    Hell, it would increase scoring too and it would not change the game itself one bit,.. that I could conceive.

  20. How many words does GMTM say before Jack Eichel

    Tim Murray walks to the podium.  Puts both hands upon it,  leans into the mic, and looks up.  Silence.  After an icy stare into the crowd, TM just starts nodding his head yes.  The camera cuts to Eichel, with a clearly weirded out and confused look on his face, eyes darting back and forth, slowly rises up out of his seat at the urging of the surrounding people in his camp.  Jack shrugs, removes his suit jacket, and confidently walks to the stage to accept his jersey.
