God help us if Eichel plays in OT.

Not going to win with only 1 goal.

WGR estimated 15k. Might be high.

It’s inevitable that Vegas is going to score.

They should show they’re confident in the team’s direction by offering 20% credit back to put towards the next season if they miss the playoffs next year.

Having two 1st round picks for multiple years would have definitely been better long term.

Both can be true. There could be people who think they could do a better job with the team and want to buy it, but the Pegulas don’t want to sell. And I concur about the seats. The last game I went to I got seats in the top row so I could stand because at 6’3” my legs get crushed trying to fit them in. Plus they’re not as wide as movie theater seats either.

I’ve had swelling on the bottom of my foot for a week. Feels like stepping on a golf ball when I walk. Podiatrist says it’s plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the heel. I have to wear a hard shoe insert and do stretching exercises. Anyone else have experience with it?

That the Canadiens beat the Maple Leafs?

And then to avoid further PR damage from them leaving, the Sabres resigned Vanek to a big contract instead of taking 5 1st round picks from Edmonton, which in retrospect would have been the better long term deal.

Toronto’s looks like a practice jersey. If I’m going to pay for another Sabres jersey I’m not getting a dirty shade of their same jersey. Use the yellow shoulder buffalo as the main logo, or the goat head, or the B with the sword through it, or the written Buffalo they had on the 40th anniversary blue jersey, or a new logo like a herd of charging buffalo. Give me something new.

He isn’t the dominant two-way defenseman he was projected to be. Too often he leaves a forward uncovered in the crease area, or gets bumped off the puck. I expected more by now.

Most Improved Player? Thompson Most Valuable player? Tuch Rookie of the Year? Is there one? Krebs Unsung Hero? Fans still going to games Comeback player of the year? Okposo Biggest Positive Surprise - Player? Hagg Biggest Disappointment? Dahlin; still not playing up to promise and inconsistent defensively Biggest Team Accomplishment? Making me think in the first month that they might make the playoffs Best KA Acquisition? Tuch Worst KA Acquisition? Butcher

Nic Deslauriers throwing fists

Pasquale played 2 seasons for the Syracuse Crunch. Hard to read the numbers on the jerseys. And the ice is too bright, don’t know if it’s lighting or tv contrast.

Watched The Eternals on Disney+. It was better than I thought it would be, and better than Shang Chi. Set after Endgame. If you watch Marvelverse movies you need to watch. It will be interesting to see where it goes next, as there are a couple of new characters introduced on screen in the after credits from the comic books. I could see them tied in with Guardians or Thor.

I think GMs learned from all the talent they let Vegas pick, and gave more scrutiny to whom they protected this time.

Actually I think Tuch should get the C. He’s a younger leader who sets a good example. Okposo can have an A, but who knows at his age how much playing time he’ll get next year.

I’ll record and watch in the morning.

It would be quicker to fly Ryan Miller in from LA.

It would be logical if you sign a contract for a station to carry your games that you would include an out clause or right of refusal if said station was ever not able to carry the games to the outlets that were available when you signed. That’s potential advertisement money that’s affected. So yes, it’s his fault if he didn’t cover that contingency. And the Flyers game was an exception against another bad team, not the typical opponent. They are in Bahston.

I’d pick a western team; Colorado or Anaheim. I can’t root for Vegas because I don’t want Eichel pulling an O’Reilly playoff run and making us feel even worse.

He signed the deal with the radio station that uses it. Wasnt that Ottawa game last night entertaining? 🤣

The Sabres playoff chances are about as good as they were for the unicorns trying to catch Noah’s ark.

We’ve had plenty of young players over the past decade whose spirit has been crushed by the continual losing. Better they play for a playoff team and bring that winning attitude next year.
