Every season Tampa finds a way.

I will say, that is the benefit of having a guy that can fight on your roster. Maybe it doesn’t, but maybe it does make Forsberg think twice before delivering a big hit.

Did that look like a perfectly clean hit to anyone else?

If UPL continues to play well and is sent back down, it'll be the surest sign yet that we are tanking.

A yes or no will NOT suffice.

I think it kinda tells you that irrational exuberance regarding UPL is hard to come by.

NS is Duffy?

There were long stretches where Buffalo looked like they could run with Washington, and long stretches where Washington looked like the better team. Because they are. Overall, I enjoyed the game, but I didn’t really expect them to end up with 2 points. This is the sort of game and effort I was hoping they could sustain into the late season. This is the type of game that develops the kids. Let’s keep adequate goaltending on the roster so the skaters have the confidence to keep this level of play for the remainder of the season.

Because the IOC can be bought.

10 points and what, 12 teams to leapfrog?

These guys prevented the inevitable from happening a few minutes later.

Unpossible.

I think he thinks its a mostly empty threat, Ownership knows its an empty threat, and they’ve been using an empty threat to deflect blame for raising prices so the fans don’t get mad at the owner when he decides to increase revenue via raising prices. It has merit.

Just received a meeting notice from Japan for 6:30pm. Ugh. Not so fantastic. My weekend start is delayed. My only solace is that 6:30pm Friday for me is 6:30 AM Saturday for them.

It's less depressing than "if".

Did the team ever acknowledge a wrist injury? To the best of my knowledge his injury was never defined further than “upper body” and the wrist part was fan speculation. Granted, how does limping result from an upper body injury?

Shades of Darcy Regier.

It didn't have to be a fight. Implied violence can work. I'm fairly convinced Jack was told don't do it again or there will be payback. But you have to be able to back that up for it to work.

My initial reaction to that goal was, wow that's an embarassing way to get scored upon. The first time Eichel did that faceoff move where he pushes the puck ahead and gets around the other centerman, it resulted in Jack getting an earfull from the center he embarassed. It was a good while before he attempted that move a second time. I would not have hated a Sabre giving Zegras some business over that goal. Granted, with D Lo on that team our guy would have promptly got his ass kicked.

One guy will hate him for being 6’5” and a minority will hate him for not being physical.

More bettors = more money in the pool = more shenanigans
