Mustache of God

We're 4-7 in 2019, we're not playing .500 hockey. This team has been atrocious and the line-up change is necessary. I don't like Thompson on the 4th line, would rather see him swapped out with Pommers or Okposo. Stacking 1 line and have 3 floundering lines is not a recipe for success.

Well what we were doing the past 20+ games hasn't been working, so a shake-up does make sense. Throw enough ***** against a wall something might end up sticking. If you were the coach, what lines would you run?

Switch Thompson with Okposo and I'd raise an eyebrow. I'm intrigued, somewhat, but our middle six wingers are garbage and you can rearrange a pile of ***** as much as you'd like but at the end of the day it'll still be a pile of *****. Also like seeing the Rasmi together.

Sounds like Wilson is ready to come up? Any of you pay attention to Rochester? How's he looked?

Ugh. We need to stop giving the puck away.

They look out of sync tonight.

Dahlin doing his best scandella

JBOTs needs to introduce Scandella with the center of the sun.

POSITIVE VIBES!

Time to channel out the negativity and think positive thoughts. The Sabres will win this game. They will stay in playoff contention. Watching hockey is fun. "If you will it, Dude, it is no dream"

`That last goal was not on Hutton.

Dahlin with 2 points so far....NBD.

Woof. McCabe, not a great game. Woof! SKINNER! WHOOOOO!

This feels like a game where they sleepwalk through two periods, make a late push in the 3rd and the game is sealed when Columbus scores an empty net with 43 seconds left in the game.

Come on in, the Bunker is nice and warm. The only thing hotter than our coco is our searing hatred of Phil.

I was in Columbus two or three weekends ago and go to play a scrimmage on the Blue Jacket's practice rink, which is directly connected to their arena. Great ice and facility.

This team better come out hungry tonight. If they stumble out the gate of the 2nd half of the season I'll be firmly entrenched in the HCPH Bunker.

These decisions landed us Dahlin, so I'll allow it.

I'd say Buffalo is in a better place as we have a management system in place, who've had time to lay out and implement their plan/roadmap for the future. Plus we have 3 first round picks this draft. Edmonton is at square one with resetting a plan going forward and they're going to have to tear down some old foundations to pave way for their future.

I think that kid might just stick around if he keeps working at his game.

Dahlin will need to break 50 points to have a shot...but at the end of the day goals are sexy and sex sells, so Peterson will take home the hardware.

Last game before an 11 day hiatus where we'll have nothing to discuss around here except some advanced stats and the Justin Bailey trade, so let's make this a good one. A win tonight sets us up for a mid-season push to reestablish ourselves in the Wild Card race. I recall a few years ago, under HCDDB, when we came out of the mandatory break, well rested against a bottom feeder team, a win would have put us just close to competing for a playoff spot and we laid an egg and then went on a protracted losing streak which shut the door on the season. I'm hoping for the opposite of that this year. Here's to Jack having a strong game, Skinner putting another up and a solid victory.

What do advanced stats say about this trade?

It's why he would have been drafted 1st in any other draft if not for that pesky McDavid

I promise you Jack has worked on that shot hundreds of thousands of times in his life. That wasn't luck. That was pure muscle memory, which is a well honed skill, which is essentially the force.
