ska-T Palmtown

can you imagine how pissed a player would be about getting traded to this team?!?!?

i think now that Lindy took the filter off - it will take some of these guys a few weeks to adjust. Power looks shook.

oh no

"fumble fvcks the puck" pure poetry! Edit: what the absolute sh1t? the word that 3.14 used keeps getting auto-edited out of MY post!?!? Is swearing some sort of skill one unlocks as they climb the ranks of 'spacers?

You won't get around the story a certain sector of this forum wants to tell themselves about big tough hockey players 🤷‍♀️

Sure. Laugh all you want - if you don't think it is a real issue, that tells me all I will ever need to know about you. Call it whatever you want, but constant talk about how to be a "real man" is not useful to a society that already sees too many issues with male violence and the male gender's inability to deal with real human emotions in an open, honest, and healthy way.

i'm kinda glad this is on TNT and I don't have cable, so I can't watch it. Might enjoy my evening.

Cozens does not look like this, so he must not work out. He must not be a "man". He must be "soft". LOL - the toxic masculinity on display on this board sometimes is hilarious. This is not the current day NHL. McDavid - the best hockey player on the planet - looks like some schmoe at planet fitness with his shirt off ... must not be a man and certainly can't be good at hockey 🙃

As "not good" as Filthy is, Michkov's supporting cast is practically an all-star team compared to Bedard's. Not trying to take anything away from the dazzling displays Michkov is putting on, I just really see we could see Bedard with any talent around him.

If you TWICE in one week at home allow the visiting team to score FIVE STRAIGHT goals ... you deserve to booed. If you blow a 5-3 3rd period lead to a team you are theoretically battling for a WC spot, at home ... you deserve to get booed. Don't get me wrong, I want few things in life more than to see the Sabres be good again - but there is sowing and there is reaping going on here. I honestly have to think long and hard to conjure up long gone emotions from the Bills' 17 yr drought. I will do the exact same for the Sabres, when they earn it. 😞

Preach, Brother Callaway! Preach!

Again, his time last year immediately following the injuries do bear truth to this hunch. He. was. playing. better.

This tests my memory, so I might be wrong, but the Sabres had him top-4 and he has been a bottom pairing / depth piece since leaving, right? So, another case of poor organizational depth forcing a player to slot higher than they should, resulting in that player not being "good enough" to play for the Sabres. sigh.

He looked fine - and produced at a rate above his rookie year stats - both times he came back last season. Unless, you are implying he has another, undisclosed, ailment that is vexing him this year?

Ironically, by getting 1 out of 2 points last night, the Sabres incrementally increased their season points% 🤣

Apparently, only a little over 50% of 8th overall picks ever score 100+ points in their career ... **Adding: this does not account for D-men who score at a lower rate and it is through 2023, so some kids might still be in juniors if they were not drafted by the Sabres.

I thought we won the Rangers game?

My older sister used to sit on the couch and watch every game we could (in the 80's, none of this fancy streaming hootenanny). She would keep track of the game in a spiral notebook with colored markers for the teams - just like keeping score at a baseball game ... she knew the stats - followed the team ride or die. Just texting with her, she was not even aware they played tonight 😞 "Oh ... I gave up on them"

then the super crappy breakout pass for icing ...

I wanted to give you angry, shocked, sad, and haha - so you get a cup!

He made the really smart play holding the puck for a second to spring McLeod ... then he <checks notes> yeah, skated hard and got back in the play.

Down 1-0 since you joined ...

oh no ... 4th string goalie.

Not disagreeing, but I think we'd have a pretty full 3rd line if that was the official struggle bus.

JJ is one of the reasons why I still hold out hope for Cozens and Quinn. We all know JJ can do it, but he has looked pretty lost lately, too. Maybe being asked to at least think about defense is really harshing their collective vibe?
