As I remember it Schoenfeld told him what I said as he was getting off the ice. You posted the backup video.😀
That's the way it's most often repeated, but that's not the way it happened.

Go to a cemetery and clean up a loved ones gravesite. Wipe down the headstone, trim around it, plant a flower or two….or leave some artificial flowers.
Especially in the older cemetery’s, it is sad how neglected some sites are…and the groundskeepers seem to barely have time to do little more than mow up and down the rows…no time to even weed whack.
Cemeteries are ponzi schemes. They make their money by selling plots and "perpetual care" When the cemetery runs out of new plots to sell the decline starts because there is no new source of revenue to keep up with the "perpetual care" on plots sold 40 or 50 years ago.

They have a bunch of goalies.
You may not like them.
But again, over spending will not happen.
1. They don't have a lot of goalies.
2. It's not about whether or not I like them or not it's about whether they stop the puck at an NHL level. Last year's goalie plan was garbage and if they go into this year with UPL who is unproven at even the AHL level and Craig Anderson I think we can stop talking about the playoffs before the season even starts. The plan can't be to wait for Portillo or Levi and to hell with everything else. If that IS the plan, I stand by my assertion that they are incompetent.

Doing the right thing with players you have control over is competence.
Hoping a UFA signs with your team when offered a fair contract and doesn't, does not make a GM incompetent.
So how long can they go with no goalie and still be competent?

I think we are all getting used to maybe finally having a competent Front Office
This year's goaltending plan says otherwise. Maybe they'll do better at it this year but until I see an actual NHL goaltending plan on the NHL team the front office can't be called competent no matter what else they do.
You can build a helluva submarine, if you design in a screen door you aren't a competent naval architect no matter how good the rest of the boat is.

Does John Deere sponsor the Traktor team?? Runs like a deer, smells like a john.
It's called that because originally it was the hockey team of the tractor plant in town. If they are going to be sponsored by any modern tractor company I'd expect International Harvester....they're red.

I agree about the goaltenders, but if you got excited thinking Bishop was solving that issue then disappointed when you realized he isn't playing anymore, that was jumping to conclusions. This was just a mundane transaction to get to the cap while preserving future cap space when young players need to be signed.
Now, if the Sabres go into next season with a goalie tandem of Anderson and Toker, then your disappointment would be justified.
No, I know Bishop can't play. My hope was that they'd gotten something of value in exchange for taking his contract (indicating that they might engage in more of this type of behavior to fill the gaping holes on this team) and they didn't.

Except the NHL doesn't allow cash transactions. And it's likely that 75% of that will be paid by insurance.
I guess. I dunno. I saw this transaction on the wire and was hopeful that we'd started to weaponize our cap space and saw we got a basically nothing to do Dallas a favor. Whatever.
We need an actual goaltender if not two. Shouldn't be that hard to spend enough money if you're trying to actually fix the issues we have without taking on a BS contract for nothing.

If you look at the recent rumours, Subban @4ish, VO at 5ish, and a goalie at 5ish puts them right at the floor. Add in this year’s JAGs and without the Bishop deal they might still be under the floor.
Which Subban at 4? I'm not sure there are ANY Subbans currently worth that. Maybe as a package deal for both.

Good work Adams. Picked up a 7th for nothing.
I would think a 7th round choice would cost less than 3.5M if you tried to outright buy one from a team.

Also, who will be that team that does the taking? Sabres? Detroit? Maybe Ottawa? Possibly more than one?
Next season could be interesting.
Until there is a legitimate NHL goaltender somewhere on the team it's not a conversation worth having.

I think of spearing, face licking, face washes, nailing dudes in the junk, excessive cross-checking not getting called, predatory hits getting celebrated rather than penalized, guys running goalies blaming it on anything but themselves; I think that about sums it up.
That's called "letting them play"

Neither team is capable of shutting it down defensively. It could be a record setting series offensively.
Nobody has a goalie

Actually, in what is actually a pretty smart move, well shockingly smart actually, as this is the NHL, and they rarely, if ever, make good tweaks to rules / rules interpretations, the league has started to consider a player to not be in control of the puck when crossing the blue line until his stick actually makes contact with the puck inside the offensive zone which gives players that appear to be offside an extra fraction of a second to get back onside.
It's a smart move because it cuts down on how many apparent goals end up getting called off.
And, really wasn't sure how Koharski would keep his streak intact because on 1st glance, it did look like the play was offside. But leave it to that putz to not understand how the league is interpreting the rules. He didn't know how to interpret them when he was getting paid by the league. It's silly to expect he'd know how to interpret them now that TNT is paying him.
PS - Did we get to a new record for use of the word "actually" in a single sentence? 😉
Is Koharski sponsored by Timmy Ho's or Dunkin yet? If not it's a shame.

In some cities in certain states, you literally can walk out of a store with less than $900 worth of stolen goods and not be charged with a crime.
The stolen items are tallied and the cost is passed on to the consumer.
The other option is they are jailed, prosecuted, and imprisoned...and the cost is still passed on to the consumer.

I have to say I haven't noticed a difference. The roads seem just as busy as always.

UFA signings

FWIW, Lindy Ruff HATED Nichuskin. I don't know that I care, but I know there is a faction here that still wants to see Lindy as President of Hockey Ops so that should matter to that group.
