Weave

I’ve done that. Complete with the hand injury as well. Coulda been a worse result, Dan. Hope the guitars get played soon.

I was using someone else’s phrasing. Incorrectly apparently. Im not sure it’s likely that the odd man rushes decrease all that much. I think they are a product of what DG is doing. I hope I’m wrong, because it’s not sustainable.

Our forward depth is a raw rook that is getting sat, Sheahen (sp?) and then Bjork. Thats not depth.

I think we are running circles around teams is because they are not in “in season” mode yet. We won’t have the space we currently do very shortly, and those odd man rushes we are giving up way too often are going to result in more scores against as our goaltending levels out.

Wake and bake?

Early part of the season is always a little more lucy-goosey. Teams will be tightening up over the next few weeks. What they look like now won’t be sustainable come Thanksgiving. Lets see how well they tighten things up in November.

For late games I have to rely on Twitter for highlights. The normal crew I follow for Sabres Twitter stuff has let me down. Lots of clips of Tuch’s hattie goals. Lots of mentions of Dahlin’s record goal, but no clips. Passing mention of Mitts shortie but no clips. And a mystery goal apparently as that’s only 5. I guess I am following the wrong accounts. We’ll see them all once the game highlights are on YouTube I suppose.

Well, this was a pleasant surprise to wake up to.

Stop gaslighting, ghosting, orbitting and catfishing me!

Who you calling Y’all?

Remember when we said Eichel would be Messier to McDavid’s Gretzky? Remember when we said he hated to lose so bad that he’d prove to be the better player and win more cups? Hated. To. Lose. Fun times.

Stay the hell away from my Dodgers next year.

CARP?

Marketing people gave up on you as a targeted demographic about that time.

Thanksgiving. The league is tightened up and we know where our team stands relative to the contenders by Thanksgiving.

It’s not. And winning when you are outplayed for the majority of the game isn’t sustainable either. There is some irrational exuberance on display. Needs tempering. There will be snap back if play doesn’t improve overall.

Thorny, the context is, if Thompson needs Tuch on his line, he may not be the play driver we thought.

Its not what he did or didn’t say about Anaheim. Its about having poor judgement about the hockey things you are discussing with people you don’t know. In the corporate world that is a huge no no.

I agree with the bolded. Maybe add Okposo. Mitts seems like he should be a play driver, but I haven’t seen much of it after seeing flashes of it his rookie season. In what little I saw him play, JJP sure looked like a play driver in Roc last season. I’ll have to pay more attention. Quinn wasn’t the play driver, but his overall game was better in Roc.

Video coach for Team X with a son thats been drafted, engages in small talk with random fan from team son was drafted by, volunteers sons indecision at signing and why, a trade that was scuttled and what conditions scuttled the trade, all while working on stats for team he represents while eating dinner in a public place. Im working under the assumption that someone in that position, with a son in a delicate negotiating circumstance, would know better. If he was an employee of the team I managed and I got wind of this I would let him go immediately. Loose lips sink ships.

A father who works in the NHL, openly talking about his kids negotiating position and trades to a stranger? Yeah, I’d bet alot of money on that info. /s

I think the last third of LaLas career will work against him making the list.

Not sure I want to delve into where, but Hasek, Perrault and Hawerchuck should be there I think. Thats probably it.

Quit it. Game day thread means game day.

Does that pass the eye test? Lol
