  1. Most of those are a hard NO for me, but the ones I kept from your list, I would definitely agree with. Especially CHIPS IN PUCKS. That's a real good one which should be implemented. I also would love to see a Sept - April season. Awarding the CUP in June just sucks overall.
  2. Um, a that's a big NO on kicking it in. Its not soccer. And, I'm just not on board with 3 points. My tweak would be 2pts for a Regulation win and OT. 1 pt for each team making it to the shootout (plus the other point for a shootout win) AND ZERO points if you lose in Overtime. It would make both teams try as hard as possible to win in OT instead of just floating around waiting to get to the shootout. Just my 2 cents.
  3. Here's one I've always thought could use a revamp. Calling a timeout. Each team gets only one per game and its only for 30 seconds. That to me is ridiculous. You can barely get the guys to the bench let alone draw up a play or what not in 30 seconds. Why not give each team a minute or 1:30? Seems to me 30 seconds is way too short. Now, i understand there are aprox three TV/commercial timeouts per period, but still doesn't give the team calling one enough time in my opinion. Look at basketball, friggin teams get like 15 timeouts per game (ok, i exaggerated but still). Give the coaches and players more time to use their only one timeout.
  4. It was just mentioned above, but Mogilny for Peca was a killer for me. HOWEVER, Mike Peca became my favorite soon enough. So it turned out to be a "win" in the end.
  5. It's baffling that he is still not in the HOF. Every game I went to at the AUD in '92, either him or LalalalalaFontaine had a hat trick. It was wild! Patty had so many assists to Mogilny that year it was awesome.
  6. 2017 not 2019 and 6 years not 4. Meanwhile the Sabres... 53 years and counting😠(yeah i know, '75 and '99). The hockey gods hate us!
  7. I love this one. Its perfect. The other reason its great is that we won't have to award the CUP winner in friggin June! It should be over by mid May. Of course the owners and league won't agree to that because money money money money$$$.
  8. Absolutely! Terrible call. Instead, we're going to Quadruple Ooooooooverrtime!
  9. Atlanta has had two chances at this. The answer is NO!
  10. Glad Delaware North is on the out because most of their food was awful for a long time. Nice to get some new blood in there and feature more WNY favorites. The only downside is the prices will be going even higher, unfortunately. Allegiant Stadium for the Raiders is crazy pricey on the concessions and get your checkbook ready for those PSLs$$$$$$$$$$$$ to get your season tix.
  11. May the playoffs evade them for seasons to come. It would be glorious!
  12. Well it sure isn't Pittsburgh! 🤣 It feels so good as a hockey fan to finally see those bastards out of the Playoffs (Capitals too). From WGR this morning: "As you look ahead to next year, Caufield said there are numerous holes that have to be made up this offseason, and they’ll have to do it with limited salary cap room. They’ll also have a few albatross contracts to deal with: - Mikael Granlund: Five points (1+4) in 20 games, $5 million - Jeff Carter: 38-years-old, a minus-16, $3.125 million - Jeff Petry: 35-years-old, 31 points (5+26) but inconsistent, $6.25 million They have just over $63 million already committed to next season, according to CapFriendly, and that’s with free agents Tristan Jarry and Jason Zucker, as well as restricted free agents Alexander Nylander and Drew O’Connor. Plus, after next season Jake Guentzel becomes an unrestricted free agent. “They are multiple moves away,” Caufield said. “You even hear players, Evgeni Malkin saying they were faster than them. They are not built properly, they are multiple moves away. They are multiple players away to compete."
  13. To avoid the paywall on TBN, once the article opens up, quickly "SELECT ALL", then "COPY". You must do this very fast before the paywall subscribe comes up. Once copied, open up a text program ( I use TextEdit on Apple Mac) and paste. Just increase the font size and you're in business. No pics or anything but at least you can read the articles. I suppose on a PC, MS Word program would work. Enjoy. GO SABRES!!
  14. Lyubushkin had the tying goal on his stick when he was all alone in the slot, 3rd period. He ripped a good one but unfortunately, Stuart Skinner was a brick wall.
  15. No big loss. Asplund provided ZERO offense.
  16. Sorry if this was mentioned already, but did anyone watch the Ducks TV broadcast with the streaking black puck line when the teams were on the powerplay? So freaking annoying. Like were back to the glowing puck days! Just stop it!
  17. Since JJ Peterka is a healthy scratch tonight, would it be wise to send him down to the Amerks for a bit and call up someone else (Biro, Rousek or Weissbach)? Seems to me he needs to reload, get some scoring confidence back. I'm not sure his waiver eligibility so I could be wrong. Anyway, just a thought.
  18. Triumph was always my mini Rush. I liked a lot of their stuff. I'll check it out and thanks for the heads up SDS!
  19. You mess with the Cobra, you get the fangs.
  20. I'll be there tonight looking for The Sabres first win in T Mobile Arena. No wins since inception (2017). Time to break that streak!! LETS GO BUFFALO!!
  21. Let's hope the penalties stay at a minimum. 7 last night is way too much. Gotta admit, 3 of those penalties were complete garbage calls. I think Larkin fell on his own and they call tripping on MULE. Cmon!! And I'm not talking about the 5 on 3 late in third. Those were legit calls. This was in the second period If I recall.
  22. If I don't ever see Pilut on the ice again that would be fine by me. Bryson is way better than him IMO.
