Fun Dyngus Day activations! 

Wait, what the hell is an 'activation'?

Whenever Levi talks about his time in Rochester it is always "it was..." almost like it was temporary, a field trip, or beneath him. It is your team dude. I really like Levi, he is already one of my favorite guys in the system. But this has irked me on a few occasions. 

He does know he is going back down right?

I don't get any sense he feels it's beneath him to play in Rochester. He's been on the Sabres again for a week or two and is on the NHL team now, not with Rochester. Should he constantly refer to "when I go back to Rochester" or just say "it was great when I was there"?

The game is on NHL network as well. 
The only game on the NHL slate tonight! They sure picked a beauty.

I’m at the Avs-Rangers game. Casey just scored a nice goal for the Avs to take a 1-0 lead late in the second. Super intense game between two great teams. Good for him!

It's like watching your kids' youth teams and you justify in your own mind how good they are, because you see them play the most often, and because you deperately want them to be good. And then you see actual good teams play, and you're like "uh, damn..."

I've been watching the Bruins play for decades, given where I live. I hate them with a passion, but I love the way they build a roster and the way they play most nights.

Tell me about it. I live in Denver and watch the Avs and catch the Oilers whenever I can, or Vegas to root against them. 

Then I watch the Sabres and it's just painful.

[The Jeff Skinner decision]

What's strange around here is everyone up in arms over Jeff Skinner and his 24g, 21a in 64game season to date but very little around here about Peyton Krebs who in 70 games has 4g, 11a which is 5g and 3a less than 18yr old Zach Benson. Krebs either hits next year or they need to think about moving on from him. Noah Östlund is coming and I'd bet money I can get him to give me 15pts a year so why pay Krebs? 

Krebs is Tyson Jost 2.0. I just wish they'd realize it sooner rather than later and include him in a package deal as opposed to waiving him outright at some point down the line.

Just ask the mods (you aren’t one are you?) to count who has most “ignored”. 

That would be some spicy information.

 

btw I’m not a mod…sometimes I’m barely a poster

Google says Calgary is now 1.6 as of 2024. When I lived there many years ago it was about 700k

Oh yeah. I was seeing a data point from 2016.

Buffalo is 1.2 MM

Buffalo's population also doesn't include any of Southern Ontario or Rochester, so a little deceiving relative to hockey fans. 

Calgary MSA is about 1.4M. And it's 75 miles from the nearest notable city...Red Deer.

The problem with the power play is no movement.   They stand and wait for the puck. 

The lack of player movement is pronounced. They actually make power plays boring to watch.

We need Gandalf the White, who I believe in this case is Scotty Bowman, to come to Buffalo to break the Saruman's spell (Darcy Regier, in a distant tower) so that a freed Pegula of Rohan can see things clearly again and lead the team to Hockey Helmet's Deep.

Ukko Pekka Luukkonen may not lose another game this year.

Realistically, they need to go 2-0-1 over the next 4 to keep things going.

5 points out of 6 would be good but what about the 4th game? 😉

It'll be good to get a team in Atlanta so it can eventually move to Quebec

My kids are going tomorrow night so I can guarantee with utmost certainty, that Buffalo loses eight nothing. The pressure returns tomorrow…

I was thinking about getting my kids some tickets (I live out of town but they are in Buffalo) and this is exactly what went through my mind. It will be a stinker.
