  1. here are my rooting interests for tonight:

     

    • Sabres over Canucks (10pm)
    • Jackets over Wings (7pm)
    • Devils over Pens (7pm), and especially not in OT since we'd really prefer both lost
    • Leafs over Flyers (7pm)
    • Canes over Isles (7pm)

    The Caps are only 1 pt back on the Flyers with a game in hand, so they could move up into Met 3rd spot. However that doesn't remove them as an issue for us, it really just adds Philly as another team we care about. But at least 1 of the Met teams (Caps, Devils, Isles, Flyers, Isles) can still finish ahead of us and we can claim the final Wild Card, so long as it's only 1.

    In theory it should help us as all those teams have games against each other to finish out the season. So long as they win in regulation (which is a big IF this time of year) that should help us make up ground

     

    Meanwhile, the Devils would be 1 point back on us (but still have a game in hand, so effectivity 1 point ahead of us unless they lose their game in hand)

    I kind of think Skinner should move off the top line if everyone is healthy. I'm also not sure Mitts should be our 3rd line center. So far we haven't had a proper 3rd line all season. I'm almost inclined to have Cozens center the 3rd line until/unless he gets back to the level of production from late last year. Although reuniting him with Quinn and JJP could be the spark to get him going again on a more consistent basis.

     

    I'd still consider something like this:

    JJP - Thompson - Tuch
    Skinner - Mitts - Quinn
    Benson - Cozens - Greenway
    Robinson/Girgs - Krebs - Okposo
    Jost, Oloffsson

     

    Although Benson has looked pretty good on that top line, and I might not mess with it unless either he starts to struggle or to try to get the 2nd/3rd line going.

  3. Yeah. I don't get it. Before the season they said 15 national games. But there have been several additional games added to NHLN on top of that list. I have NHLN, so it's not a huge deal to me, but for anyone who only has ESPN+ it's dumb. Plus I have no idea what feed I'll get. For one game it was MSG-B, another it was the hockey night in Canada feed.

     

    I guess we'll see if it's MSG-B or TSN when the puck drops.

  4. My college team was the Golden Knights (we predate the Vegas team), and we'd yet "Night" during the anthem.

     

    I personally don't mind the anthems. I think it's cool we do both. I'd be fine if they stopped doing them all together. I'm not Canadian, but I know the English version of the anthem pretty well after so many Sabres games.

     

    Pretty embarrassing this guy messed it up. I noticed it right away, but as someone else said, after how bad we played I kind of forgot about it.

  5.  

    This is so dumb. I hate if we don't touch the puck in overtime..but that's on our players..not the rules. The circling back to your own end thing is kind of lame, but not nearly as bad as the "clog up the neutral zone" strategy in 5v5 a ton of teams employ. They going to add rules to "fix" that too?

    Meanwhile we still have some games that are worth 2 points and some games that are worth 3. They should fix that first. Also get rid of the shootout. It's terrible.

  6. Personally I like to the list the 2 RSN (when applicable) and otherwise indicate if it's a national broadcast in the US. I don't really know about Canadian broadcasts to include those for the Canadian members.

    But I always look up every game anyways since I do a Game Day Info post in a slack server I belong to, so it doesn't matter too much to me if only MSG-B is posted here. I only have to worry about Caps games being blacked out here, or when a game is on NHL, TNT. Otherwise I'm using ESPN+ and it doesn't really matter.

     

    I'd like to see us get above .500 tonight and carry some momentum into Friday's game, since I'm coming up for that one. I'm really hoping we can start putting together a lot of multi-game win streaks this month to make up for our slow/inconsistent start to the season.

  7. I have to assume the spot is because Benson got put on IR. They are calling his injury week to week. That left an empty spot. I would have thought they'd use it for Savoie (and they still might by sending Biro or Rousek back this weekend). If Savoie plays tonight I think that's his 5 games and they'll either need to bring him to the Sabres or send him to Juniors.

    My guess is he'll get a tryout and they will drag it out until World Juniors unless he makes his case to stay on the team.
