He never should have had the chance to win it! We should have won 2-1 in regulation!

I still hate Skinner.

GOD DAMMIT

These refs can sod off.

I...don't even think I'm mad. That shot was unreal.

I really hope Eichel gets a goal in this one. He's been freaking fantastic.

Larsson for Thornton is a good trade for us.

These refs are terrible.

The Sabres being good is positively killing my evening productivity. I used to be able to work and have them as background noise. Now I watch and get nothing else done. I'm not mad.

I just stopped in to say that Risto goal made me jump out of my chair.

Calling all Doug Marrone ball washers! Step right up and tell us how great he is!

Plot twist: Jake Allen is Peterman.

Matt Stafford doing Matt Stafford things with the Nathan Peterman special.

What a freaking effort by Eichel.

https://hockey-graphs.com/tag/score-effects/ It's a few years old, but score effects are real.

Eh. Every team does this with a big lead. As long as they have a stronger third period it's no big deal.

Driving back to Buffalo today for Thanksgiving, the best holiday there is (you anti-turkey heathens can just stay quiet). Relatedly, I was on such a high after the Pittsburgh games that I bought tickets for tonight. Will be a long day, but I can't wait.

Go ahead and find where I ever said Risto was useless, or that dumping him and Scandella would improve the team. I'll wait. Risto is sheltering the other Dmen, yes. That helps them yes. But that doesn't mean he's good at what he is tasked with. Just as being bad at being Drew Doughty doesn't mean he's bad overall. We have...5 (?) seasons of him getting absolutely caved in at even strength in shots and goals while being tasked with huge minutes in a shutdown role. He's bad at that, not at hockey. He's not a shutdown defender even if his coaches deploy him as one be used they feel they have no other options. Dion Phaneuf was used the same way, and he was similarly had at it. Sure, he was also a front running wuss, but the rest of the comparison stands. Because sometimes you can't just walk away when nonsense is being flung about. I literally didn't say anything until several posters decided to bring things up. It's not like I came in after the game and was all "we still suck cuz shots lol." Telling others how they should enjoy their hobby is so cool, man.

Everything and everyone not named McDavid or Draisaitl. They have no secondary scoring, bad goaltending, and a trash blue line.

My prediction is both Chiarelli and Hitch are unemployed come the end of April.

Not to mention the GM that hired him may not be around too much longer.

It's Chiarelli. So....Danny O'Regan? I kid, I kid (...sort of). I really don't know what the price would be, but a change-of-scenery for prospect-for-prospect might work. Really though, my point was just that I personally wouldn't be comfortable trading a 1st for him.

I think they will. Improve enough? Eeeeehhhh maybe not, especially if Berube is the guy the rest of the way. Like I said, I think their biggest issue is the goaltending has been atrocious.

I'm definitely interested in a buy-low on Puljujarvi. However, I think spending a 1st for him is quite a bit too high.

It's nice to see Duchene's reputation continues to considerably overrate his ability. He hasn't scored 60 points since 2013 and has only done so twice* in his 9-year career! And we know he sure as hell doesn't bring any defensive value. *He had 47 in 48 games in the lockout year.
