False start, 91, Buffalo 15 Yard Penalty 4th double-down for KA, from the 76 point line

Remember that streak from a few years ago when the Sharks were actually good and the Sabres seemed to beat them almost every time?

Sharks are 10-33

I’m sort of a lapsed Packers fan.

Packers also have the SB win tho right So Pack have *as many* playoff wins at AT&T stadium which is still pretty funny

Oh damn really? Shannon said it on first take. That’s disappointing

Packers have more playoffs wins at AT&T stadium than the Cowboys do

None better, especially in Dublin

Losses now for wins later The worst, because we’ve been willingly making that trade every day for a decade

What do you mean by “the prospect who represents?”

Will go with a resounding “yes” on this too, but as evidenced by the last GDT, my GDT predictions are worth *****

ROR trade so far as worst in my lifetime The one that shipped him out. Big part of why we still haven’t made the playoffs ~ 6 years later. It’ll be at the mid-way point of the drought soon

One of the lowliest, laughingstock franchises of all time has now made the playoffs 3 times since we have in a league it’s harder to make the playoffs yes I wouldn’t point this out except for the fact I know you weren’t joking, you legitimately are using the Lions as support for why Sabres fans are misplaced ”aNd wE aRe cOmPlAinInInG?” - stop trying to belittle the reality and identity of the Sabres fans’ existence. Stop underselling it.

We need help all around. Some scoring help, too. This is what I meant before - if we’d had added some help, and not done nothing, the additions either prove to be necessary because last year’s one-off production from those guys was just that, or, those guys round back into form and the additions STILL prove necessary because the goal wasn’t to actually be a 20th place team, what we were last year. We needed help either way. Players like Thompson have significantly improved their defence this year, last I checked. Yes, we are allowing less goals, and it was never a matter of simply adding great defence to a 94 point Tage. It was never about helping out the goaltending by committing to a more defensive structure while ALSO keeping all those pointz. There was always going to be a price: whether Adams paid it, or we paid for it in offence

It could end up coming down to the coach, but I still think Granato would be performing better without such a neglectful offseason from Adams. It comes back to that for me because it undercuts Granato’s efforts and also leads into your question about Torts. It’s probably a lot that, but also a reflection of they fact we realistically overachieved last season because all those careers years happening at the same time clearly isn’t something we can expect with anything close to consistency. Offseason should have reflected that. No, it’s not that the additions in and of themselves make up the gap between between the way our top guys performed this year vs last: they make up a bit of the gap, and but theoretically help drive the performance of the current core to a better outcome that we’ve seen thus far. A few changes can go a long way. Maybe some of it does come back to just purely needing an uptick from the core. But just because we need that too doesn’t mean we also don’t need them to be supported. We actually needed to IMPROVE from last year.

LMAO! They were trying to do this in winnipeg too the other day when I was at the game. 1-0 chicago, late 3rd. So oddly timed. Of course, the Jets won in regulation haha

The Canucks are a better team than us and employed strategies which, after being instituted by a skilled coach and a worthy roster of depth and talent, prevented us from performing in the required manner it looks like effort because their equal effort is wielded by superior tools And yes, jt miller is a tool

They generated very little all game and almost nothing in the 3rd, if you trust the advanced stats

He came back.

Black bandana sweet Louisiana

What a BS hit on Dahlin. Absolutely f*cking brutal

We are legion Not a bad period

Very salient. It’s something you notice a lot more live in person too when you can see the moments leading up to interactions between players the camera sometimes misses in real time (forgive me but I haven’t been watching nearly as many games on tv lately), but seeing the Jets live here the other day was a good reminder: The fact of the matter is, by and large, the players just aren’t interested in even getting into the collisions they were before. At least in the regular season (but increasingly in playoffs), imo more often than not both parties simply willingly avoid the real impactful ones: it’s not really an individual “business decision” anymore on part of player, doesn’t need to be, not when it’s just business as usual. The physical intimidation side is just willingly being de-prioritized, and increasingly so. And other sports. EDIT: Guees not?? JT Miller you goon
