I don't understand the drinking of milk when you could eat cheese. Or tzatziki. Or bechamel. Or stroganoff.

Amerks missing Rosén on the PP already. 0 for 6 through 2 periods @ Laval and trailing 3-1.

He's one of the top scorers in the AHL. It'd be nice to see him show some tenacity, adapt to the play speed, and show off his shot. Put Quinn on notice. 5-11 161# draft measurables, per Central Scouting (obviously with CS ymmv -- they had originally listed Olofsson at 5-7 instead of the 5-11 which he was at the time of drafting).

He has the coolest name. By far. Of anyone on the entire roster. Maybe the entire active league. Ruff made sure Geertsen was on the roster with a 2-year contract and in the opening night lineup... and can't even get dressed against Tom Wilson.

At least he's finally trying to do something about goaltending. It's 5 years and one ex-GM advisor, 500-win head coach, and a Staal too late.... But, if you throw enough pasta at the wall eventually some will stick. If you throw enough ###### into a fan, eventually some will make it through without splattering.

Oh, bloody hell. Benson was looking a little slower and less battley/cantankerous the last two games.

St. Louis waived Colten Ellis and are currently getting this for goaltending: Binnington .860 sv% and a -6.5 Goals Saved Above Average Hofer .793 sv% and -8.4 GSAA

Gophers at Badgers last night. Badgers won 5-2. Zelenov got his pocket picked for a breakaway goal, but he came right back and picked up a primary assist. Teammate Kukkonen (Ducks) did a great job delaying a dump-in and attracting attention. Zelenov sped to the corner and passed to the unmarked Badger in the slot. Osburn had 6 shots on goal. Ziemer scored a tap-in on a nice cross-crease feed. They'll complete the Madison set on 11/1.

The Sabres are a hyperreal franchise.

True. But around the league Norris is only a 2C.

But there is. Instead of giving up 4 points to three opponents vying for the same playoff positions, they gave up 6 points -- as many as possible.

If they're going to do something, it had better be soon. I'd rather it was for an entering-prime potential 1C, but from a play-style perspective they need someone who has been there and done that. Not this move in particular, but something akin to it: Add some picks to either side to balance out the remainder: Power + Krebs to CGY for Kadri + a lottery-protected 1st (2026 1st likely) Calgary gets a building block RHD with long-term control and some F depth with RFA control and some jam (not Kadri jam, but willing to be a nuisance). They also get out of an aging contract. Buffalo gets a 2C (1C while Norris is out) that makes a spine of Norris-Kadri-McLeod-Kulich/Kozak that can be tough to play against, 200' game, and still provide some offensive punch. Kulich is not a top-6 center yet and they can't wait around for Norris to play (or even finish) a game. It's a bad contract, but overall there are savings that would allow getting Benson, Doan, and Kesselring all extended. Just would need Kadri to waive his M-NTC to go to a non-immediate contender.

Skinner was 32 before he got to one. He ended up having to play in 5... and in the offseason swiftly decided that the playoffs were not for him and signed in SJ.

Can't move Appert. He's Adams' next and final HC interview -- the meeting is already scheduled for Monday, April 20, 2026.

They really could be 6-3-1 or 7-4 and being talked about as one of the hottest teams in the league. But they simply don't earn those wins.

Yup. After 0-3, they had salvaged their season start -- with the opportunity against scuffling Leafs, a borderline Jackets team, and a not-very-good Bruins roster... and gave each of them 2 points.

Oh, Rasmus... you didn't need to try so hard 1 on 3 that you lose an edge.

We've complained the last few years about too many regulation losses... well, now they're stacking up loser points like the Isles. (But... you still have to be over .500 even with your loser points to make the playoffs.)

I'm obviously way behind the feed then... is Ruff pulling Lyon in a tie game?

Doan's family influence in the league?

I like being so far behind the live @Brawndo feed.

Joker's got to be stronger on his skates there to hold his position. But... that's probably getting called back.

Lovely set piece.

And Krebs is the one guy who plays physical and draws the response.

Perfect Boston follow-up shift after the Sabres goal (minus a score). Le sigh.
