This is just GM Sheevyn playing 4D dejarik (holochess) with the league. He knows that if he waits until November, then he can stash Dahlin on LTIR. That frees the GM up to acquire a sizable contract for the top 6 from a team that realizes their season is done. Dahlin gets his surgery and starts skating with the team in March... but isn't quite ready until the day the playoffs start and the cap restriction is gone, by which time Dahlin is 100% ready. Scores 1-2-3 +2 with a primary PPA in a game 1 of the quarterfinals. GM Sheevyn is a genius.

JJP's return awakened them. Gilbert can play if Muel gets a night or two off.

Sabres 0-4. Amerks 0-7 tonight (and blew another 2-goal first period lead to lose in regulation). Pretty epic powerless play for this franchise system.

Good for them?

Dallas is going to bludgeon them. But that won't stop me. Hey Stars...

I saw an empty netter in McLeods! Easy win by McLeod on Taylor Hall there to seal it.

Kulich might not get sent back down. That's what he needs to do; make it a really tough decision. I don't know. I can imagine quite a bit.

I like Pang, but he's a homer, too, saying he doesn't know how you get a PP after that scrum. Because it was a 3-on-1 and two Hawks threw punches on Krebs when his arms were grappled.

This is the PP to put them away. Here we go again again again.

Krebs: see, you can do it.

Refs letting icings go. They've got a plane to catch, too. Be rough and grabby, the whistles have been put away. Don't back down.

Cozens with a good chance and deflection and crossbar.

Peterka is a good top 6 forward. All zones.

There are 74 more games to go. There's plenty of abuse ready and waiting ahead of us.

ESPN+ I can watch the opposing teams' broadcasts to get a legitimate PBP and color (Panger!) tandem that tells me what's happening and is watching the little things happening on-ice. (Ray and RJ had some fun banter, but alas...)

Bantha poodoo period, but Peterka gets one by staying near the goal.

Peterka redemption for missing the initial shot.

Because Kulich. I think Joker should take a turn as the PP pointman. Dahlin has absolutely no pace right now. JJP!

It's definitely close. And I doubt the Hawks trade Bedard in 2028 to start another rebuild.

Here we go again again

Muel beat to the net and the rebound. Sit him, Coach.

Getting outworked and outshot quite handily now. It'd be awfully nice to regroup and take over the game for a bit coming out of this TV timeout.

Darth Pegulas the Wise loves him some yes-men. This isn't a problem if your yes-men and yes-women are supremely competent and motivated.

To the powerplay. Here we go again... You know, it'd be nice to at least be a net 0 in scoring on the powerplay this season.

Can’t they bring in at least one experienced NHL assistant whose coached a power play at this level?
