Hard to do when you lived though it as an adult

As a former meteorology major in college I can tell you that is incorrect. Probably the closest comparison would be to a rapidly intensifying hurricane.

Not sure but Anderson literally had a half blade of one skate in the crease and there is no way I would consider that being in the crease... Really? It wasn't called that way in the Stanley Cup finals with Hull and Hasek...

IMHO, the definition of crease should be the goalie has to have at least half his body in it for that to count as being in the crease They were both going for the puck, Larsson just got there first

If you buy at the right time/place it can rapidly increase in value. We bought our house in a nice area on the Depew/Lancaster border and have seen the value go up about 60K in the last 10 years...house prices are really surging upward in WNY over the past year and a half or so...

He was out of the crease when the contact occurred it shouldnt have mattered which is probably what the replay review came away with

I think what we are seeing without Eichel is the realization from the other players on the team that they can't sit around and wait for Eichel to do something now...they have to make it happen on their own. Honestly I played on a college soccer team similar to this...our best player went down for the year with an injury and we played better without him...it wasn't becaue we were literally a better team without him, we weren't. Everyone realized they had to work a little harder and do a little more to make up for his loss. We couldn't just sit around and wait for him to go through 3 or 4 guys and then dish off a pass to a wide open player for a goal...I think this is what we are seeing with the Sabres now...when they get Eichel back if they can continue to play the way they have been without him they can start really figuring some things out...if they decide to go back to "Oh, we will just skate around and let Eichel make something happen" again then we will see more of the same... In short, they aren't a better team without Eichel, but everyone realizes they need to work harder and do more than when they have Eichel. Basically, Eichel allows them to be lazy to a certain degree...without him they have to work harder.

Tyler Myers best year is still his rookie year here, Joel Armia is like 8 other guys we have here now and Drew Stafford is with the Devils now. Brendan Lemieux has played 9 total NHL games and has 1 point. What exactly are you wowing about for Winnipeg? That they got a bunch of dudes who you think shouldbbe good but actually aren't? They got an average defenseman who never lived up to his potential much like BOGO was for Winnepeg, a JAG in Armia, 1 decent season from Stafford and nothing else. Kane still was by far the best player in that deal...its not his fault the team sucked. And since hockey trades largely are won by the team who ended up getting the best player the Sabres won that trade.

If we were losing him anyway or didnt want to resign him it wasn't doing any good keeping him and losing him for nothing...he has a bad rep around the league, fair or not.

Half the teams in the NHL probably don't want anything to do with him due to his attitude/reputation/off ice stuff whether its fair or not...when you are limiting the number of potential suitors you are also limiting his worth

It better be more than what the Rangers got for Nash...Kane is younger, has more points this season and comes at a cheaper cap hit.

Bots should be expecting more than what the Rangers got for Nash...he has more points, is younger and costs less

Depends what schools we are talking about. At major football schools the amount of money generated by football alone is multiple times the amount of money generated from all other sports combined...sometimes 20-30 times more.

Why would we take a cap dump? Those days are over.

Eichel is going nowhere. There is a -1,000,000,000,000,000% chance he will be traded. And that might be too low Plus he is injured so even if they wanted to which they don't, I don't believe they could trade him.

Honestly its better for him if they are not...there is a 3 week Roman going on right now...much better to not be tied down Not weird, he had money,status and power. 3 things women are and always have been attracted to. Plus if you believe the stories he puts it down in the bedroom which definitely helps his cause as well. FYI women like guys who they know other women are attracted to.

I would take Tallinder over McKee...for a year and half before he got hurt Tallinder was dominant...never was the same once he came back but McKee was never at that level...

And somehow those players contribute to a winning team...just like Stafford and Myers are with their teams...and Zadorov.. Basically all these players we said are lazy and are reasons we are losing and need to get rid of them are somehow succeeding on other teams? I guess maybe we need to take a deeper look at what's wrong here

Bad goalies coupled with much smaller goalies and goalie equipment...a wide open game where teams actually tried to outscore one another instead of trying to out defend one another...the lack of defensive systems like the neutral zone trap and "left wing lock" that were being played...a lot less clutching, holding and grabbing allowed to slow the game done...far more power play opportunities... Basically the game has become a defensive game instead of an offensive game since then. yeah, he would probably have his point totals cut in half which is why his might be the safest record in all of sports...including Dimaggio's hiting streak record...there is nothing preventing another person from actually surpassing that record involving the structure of the game in Major League Baseball....in the NHL the structure of the game basically prevents anyone from even getting close to Gretzky's record. While other sports(NBA, MLB, NFL) have embraced offense and scoring and made rule changes to favor the offense, the NHL has regressed and embraced low scoring, boring snooze-fests that drive fans crazy most nights. Basically hockey has turned into dump, chase and recover.

I'm watching it and am shocked at how terrible women's hockey is to watch...simple D to D passes that are whiffed on...pucks clanging off sticks constantly...easy passes missed...its honestly dreadful...I've seen better high school games than this...women's soccer is awesome but women's hockey is so far inferior to men's hockey its ridiculous

Not this US/Canada women's hockey game, that's for sure...this looks like high school level hockey...wasn't aware there was such a talent difference between men's and woman's hockey..

What I'm seeing right now is how big a talent gap there is between men's and women's hockey...my God this US/Canada Women's hockey game is dreadful...players seemingly can't even make basic passes properly....

Better start doing some one leg bosu ball stands, various bosu ball exercises and some band work with the ankles... He could use some strength down there

Why hasnt this team played like this more? They have the ability to do it they just choose not to more often than not...why don't they realize that playing hard and winning games is a lot of fun...just ask Vegas...

We have the best PP in the NHL since January 7th...I think they are starting to get it figured out...wonder why it took so long tho... It's no secret...let Jack Eichel draw 2 or 3 people to him and make them look silly flailing at the puck and have Reinhart in front of the net Eichel is starting to turn into a beast...
