OK for those of us who can't see the game...what does this mean? Seems ominous!

Completely into Billy Strings recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y97gX9QSwZk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwH5ACiN6fY And yes, in that second video he's dressed like a hobbit. Did three concerts in a row where they did the Lord of the Rings books in order with a combination of his songs, classics, and original pieces to fill in the story line. Between the two songs you can see the range from classic bluegrass to early metal/prog rock.

But he didn’t regain control of his body first, he just madly scrambled back for no reason with the puck behind the net

Oettinger screwed the pooch on that goal

And Landeskog

Do any of the knowledgeable people (unlike me) out there know if he's a candidate, or likely, to play in Rochester next year, or more likely spend another year in Putin-land?

After he gets a year of playoff experience under his belt and some increased defensive awareness, I think it's Cozens.

Come on, Scajaquada is spelled just like it sounds. 😉

It's the mothership for sure, but the Hopkins Rd location has the same brother running it, as opposed to other locations are a branch out with different folks running them and I don't consider them legit Bocce's either.

I'm rooting for Florida over Carolina just because I like the way that team is playing and find them enjoyable to watch. Of course Dallas over Vegas. Screw Eichel. I like watching Oettinger in net and Dallas has some interesting players like Heiskanen, Wyatt Johnston, and Robertson. Also, Old Man Pavelski.

It pains me to say it... but not Bocce's. I grew up on Bocce's and considered it the premier pizza place in the world, let alone Buffalo (I'm engaging in hyperbole, but you get my point). Now, their quality control has gone to pieces. Some pies from the Williamsville location are still like the old days, but not nearly often enough. Then they opened up an outlet in the airport. I have tried it twice. Good lord, it's has gone to sh*t entirely. OK, rant over. (My suggestion would be Imperial Pizza from the southtowns)

I was there on Friday when Game 5 was played. Walked over to T-Mobile during the second period. They have a huge screen on the side of the arena showing the game live and another smaller but better screen as well. Frankly there weren't too many people out there watching, maybe in the 50-100 range and a third of them were Oilers fans. However as you walk away from T-Mobile towards the strip there is a massive sports bar that looks like a great place to watch the game. What was interesting was the feed next to the arena was truly 'live' and when Vegas scores they play the horn outside the arena. However at the sports bar it's a 30-40 second delay so people cheer when they hear the horn, then they watch for a while in anticipation and cheer again when they see how Vegas scored. BTW a single ticket on resale (Ticketmaster) before the game was generally down to $185-$195 including all fees. This is for the upper deck of course. There are cheaper ways in as well but standing room only and some cases limited or no view.

For many years Jones worked next to Brian Engblom on Versus/NBC. Is the resemblance here not remarkable?

As a Sabres fan, I love this move for Philadelphia. Keith Jones trying to understand the salary cap:

Eichel with two apples in the first period. Screw Vegas

Happy for Reino and screw Toronto

Buffalo is in Buffalo’s situation whereas Carolina consistently puts a competitive team on the ice. I can only imagine that Toronto, Boston, and Montreal fans think the same thing about the games they see televised from Buffalo.

Carolina was second in the league in home attendance during the regular season, trailing only Montreal. 99.6% of seats filled. Florida filled 86.7% of their capacity this year. By comparison, Buffalo was at 81.6% of capacity. I love the Sabres, but I’m not seeing the case for casting aspersions on the quality of other teams fan bases these days in comparison to Buffalo. (And I do believe it will build back in Buffalo over the next couple years…)

6'2" 165 lbs?

I'd take that and pair him with Power, bump Joki down to 3rd pairing.

Damon Severson?

New Sens goalie:

BOSTON

Terry recorded a message for the prayer service, and Kim's father was there. No family drama that I can discern.
