Embarrassing

Like a bad dream

Terrible effort tonight

Boring and we were rarely that

We look totally flat. No energy. Pretty surprising and disappointing.

I thought the same thing.

Interesting. When you streamed Directv, was it MSG that had it? And when they didn't, you found it on ESPN+?

This is welcome news. I pay for NHL center ice from Directv and last year, a ton of games were on MSG. I thought about canceling but I don't want to miss any games that aren't.

Winter is coming!

Was wondering that myself.

I didn't mean it in the sense of never shuffling, but more in this is the complete roster. The money is finally spent and here's what we're looking at trying to contend with.

You'd essentially be setting the roster for many years with a move for Pesce and an extension. Not that I'm against it. To me the question would be, is he the last piece coupled with internal development, enough or what you'd want to be a cup contender? He'd likely be the last significant piece you could add at that point.

A sports legend. I would pretend he was calling my goals in my mind as I slapped that plastic puck against my parents garage door. They'll never be another like him, to me.

He picked the right coach. He was right about the young prospects needing to play to develop and they have. He's turned the team into a respected NHL offense. He likely won the Risto, Rhino and Eichel trades. He stock piled picks and rebuilt the cabinet with legitimate prospects. We've grown every year in pts. He's attempting to take care of the defense and specials. The majority of our core, likely hasn't reached their peak. I would guess that more than half of us didn't think Ullmark was the answer. He believes the answer is Levi. Despite all these excellent things he's done, we're just regurgitating the no playoff appearances and goaltending unsolved narrative. IMO, he's earned the benefit of the doubt to at least see how this season goes with the defense and goaltending. After all, he's been right more than he's been wrong.

Just because you're not excited doesn't preclude another fan feeling we're in a good position for sustainable success. Not making the playoffs yet also doesn't define there hasn't been success. It's actually amazing to me that after all we've been through, some fans can't see or maybe enjoy denying the fantastic position this team is in.

Prudent

Goalie too

I think there's a massive gap between any disagreement and being mad. There's posters that are upset and want KA either fired or on the hot seat. So yes, I think there's plenty in-between for discussion and that happens frequently. I think the vitriol is completely unnecessary and boring.

Some fans are mad that KA is doing exactly what he said he would. That's not his problem.

So says you.

I'm in Charlotte NC and Bisonte is the spot (see what they did there). Taste of Buffalo in Huntersville is really good too.

6:44 "Benson, he'll be a top 5 pick"

So definitely not Benny Hill from "The Benny Hill Show".

Benny Hill?

That's pretty cool right there.
