Randall Flagg

Ugh, Zamboni is going to be so mad at the tone of various posters after this one.

Terry has him sowing the seeds of Donny's firing by dropping hints like that on the broadcast. Trying to soften the blow

Yeah, but I sat down with 10 to go in the first and I haven't seen them come close yet so I won't hold my breath

Why did the rested home team get walked all over by the road team that traveled the night before, yesterday? Only to be saved by Levi?

Nice team Kevyn holy ***** this is embarrassing Pittsburgh games remain the undefeated champion of exposing the Sabres

I"ll believe this team is good for real when I stop seeing them miss every pass they make while their opponent is hitting 95%

Yeah, with lots of caveats and variance like all characteristics. On one front, there is knowledge and skill in taking care of your body off the ice, proper warm-ups etc. This can obviously vary from player to player On another front, the mechanical ability to handle a situation where you need to fall or stop fast or take a hit. Another sport, but Tua's falling lessons to prevent concussions are an example. This is a skill which can be trained and vary from player to player. On yet another front, being more skilled at hockey makes you more skilled at injury prevention. If you need to play above your abilities to have a prayer to keep up with your opponent, and are overwhelmed with what is happening on the ice, you are far more likely to lose control in a fall or pull something, than if you can keep up with and process what your opponent is doing. Just like having the hardest shot, the best goalie, the fastest skater doesn't guarantee you a win in an NHL game, being good at this stuff doesn't mean your players will never be injured. But it would be ridiculous to suggest that all injuries are entirely luck-based even though luck is a large component of many injuries.

Losing sucks man Carolina is a wagon. It took them a decade to build a team that plays like that. Their 2nd goal was absolutely insane That should be our goal The power play is criminal and someone needs to be on thin ice for it This was the game @ New Jersey should have been Two big games this weekend, need at least 3 of the 4 points with 2 of the points coming against PIT

Good job. Anything more is gravy for me. (Team shouldn't feel that way)

You cannot be a competitive team this year and not get a point out of this game.

How are these guys not so embarrassed by their power play that they brute-force it into being good through countless hours of practice

He sucks I'm not mad he sucks, I don't care that he does, but he sucks right now, he's 21 it makes sense

That is the 50th time this year Dan Dunleavy has mistaken a puck being played with a high stick for a high-stick-to-the-face penalty being called

UPL has played 2 good games for sure. That is a drop in the bucket of his career and needs to continue for a considerable amount of time before he deserves the confidence you have. ------------------------- Comrie has been our best goalie, but he is hurt for who knows how long. Levi is not our number 1, or shouldn't be, he has not had the highs of either of the other two but has shared their lowest lows. We are firmly in "play the hot hand except back to backs" territory. It could be worse, we have usually had a decently hot hand to play

I find myself liking every line they make with Mittelstadt because he makes every line good. That is a pretty handy thing to have in the coach's tool box

10 months to stew on this revenge game, huge playoff importance Duct tape defense is simulatenously overperforming by forcing 3 punts in 6 drives, while being achingly disappointing on the TD drives Offense has 10 points to show for their 6 drives I'm not pushing back anymore. I'm not defending these guys anymore. Do what you have to do.

I cannot believe how all of these guys coalesce in the AFC

My wife is doing this as I type. Basking in the aroma

I like Tua. But I am enjoying the pain of people who made threads to mock Milano's injury This result was the preferred outcome for the Bills but doesn't matter too much if we lose tonight.

This is the right idea, but this specific player isn't very good and seems to shrink at the moment. Piles up points when it's easy

This isn't the Bills board, we go nuts after losses but everyone enjoys the wins.

I want the Sabres to handle physical teams better too, but yes, the Sabres played a good hockey game tonight against a team that has won 50 per year for almost a decade now

San Jose is horrible. They are about to be 0-10-1, have 12 goals so far, lost their last game 10-1, losing tonight 8-2

Seconding what Taro sez, Woll has started 6 of their 11 games now.

Yeah, but in all of those wins we've played our backup as well. (All our goalies are backups)
