Probably watching either with you ?

Sure, I hate Skinner all the time, but after missing that chance it's actually justified!

It's true. Pretty much every Cup team carries some meh players.

Eichel beast mode alert.

That Jack Eichel kid might be okay ?

A season akin to Bylsma's first year is certainly in the cards. A relatively bad 5v5 team kept afloat by a lethal PP.

Still a terrible goal call. But yes.

Can I interest you in some charts? ?

I honestly don't know why you hate them so much. Sure, they don't have predictive value for awhile, but they still have descriptive value...which puts them on par with every other stat that people use without you crushing them.

82 goals or bust.

....Joel Armia revenge game? ?‍♀️

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Serious sanctions to encourage systematic reform that makes such occurrences less likely in the future shouldn't be given the ol' eye roll just because it's not fool-proof prevention.

If given the opportunity, they will. Except in the case of Penn State, the whole refused to condemn the few. That's the problem.

...that's what she said?

To be blunt, I think this entire debate is missing the forest through the trees. The concern is (or should be) whether playing Sobotka over Rodrigues is just an isolated quirk, or if it represents a fundamental problem with talent analysis on the team. Almost every coach inexplicably falls in love with a bad vet. I have complained about the choice, and I will continue to do so, as it will cost us a point here or there. But it's not the end of the world...if it's isolated. But if the choice represents something broader about player valuation, then we've got some problems.

He'd probably help more as a goalie than a forward.

NO!

Ohio State fans are the absolute worst.

Larsson was the only Sabres skater worth anything in the 1st period, and he was their best throughout the night.

I recently watched Endgame a second time, and still thought it was pretty bad. But for anyone who has seen the original Transformers animated movie, this is freaking fantastic:

Here's the thing with Sobotka: even when he's not completely terrible, he adds nothing. He is, at best, net neutral. His best case scenario is Matt Ellis. On a line that's supposed to score. They're simply not going to consistently generate chances with him there.

We stole a point while playing less badly than the teams we beat. Could be worse.

Spotted: Afinogenov butter knives jersey.

No loss there.

Bad Jack. Bad.
