Exactly. The journey is supposed to be the best part and that particular film left a lot to be desired

“I know…Jerry will tell you that the wrath of khan is the better picture…..”

This is his standard/closest I can find: “I actually like the right side a lot,” Dahlin said, eliciting images of Red Wings great Nicklas Lidstrom. “I can play both, so it doesn’t matter.” (i could swear a few years ago I read something about him liking the right on O specifically and the left while on D, but can’t find it for life of me) So it’s not an obstacle - he can play either side. I’ll see if I can find the deep dive here it is, slightly better on left: Great article “Lastly, in Dahlin’s case, he experienced a relative xGF uptick playing on his natural side. That said, he was so proficient on his off-hand that he was the logical choice to handle the lion’s share of off-hand duties in 2022-23. Again, a testament to the coaching staff (and likely the analytics staff) for handling things the way they did in that regard.” could have changed slightly since then. I think the main takeaway is Dahlin can play either side so it shouldn’t limit any incoming transaction

So, no quote ever that he prefers the right? Eh? And the deep dives on Dahlin have him slightly better on the left

I think the “Dahlin prefers the right” thing is a regurgitated myth. I could easily be wrong but I’ve searched many times and have never found more than his insistence he doesn’t care

John Cena vs CM Punk for the undisputed wwe championship, live next Saturday

Agree tbh. Say what you want, but one needs to get up preeeeeeety early in the afternoon to get the jump on Kevyn Adams

Going about as well as the search for Spock

There’s a non negligible chance the $ we’d have to pay is a non starter. If Tuch’s goal is to maximize his contract I don’t think we should play ball It’ll come down to money. Have you seen his deal? This next contact is his one and only chance to break bank

The idea we keep seeing floated that we’ll only deal out 1st if we replace it with another later 1st is rankling Absolutely - we squandered Tuch’s best years at his bargain cap hit. His production will decrease and his cap hit is going up - Not an opinion

The Sabres will get a good player

It’s a good point - speaking from experience and anecdotally from listening around, the “hobbyist” nature of following the sabres/a team becomes one of the most significant sacrifices along the way when you don’t compete. the rumours ARE mostly made up and the draft scouting DOES mostly turn to ash and most prospect DON’T sniff the show but it’s super fun to indulge in all that when you actually feel a part of the league we have been taught those things don’t matter.

That’s one aspect that to me is almost shockingly underplayed- everyone was so enamoured with the negative aspects of Jack but that interview with friedman where he SO SO obviously throws Pegula under the bus and not KA is right there. No one cares, no one wants to talk about it. Jack was just a bad boy. Talk about a canary in the coal mine

Agent generated sure but dunno about “crap.” The agent is working on behalf of the will of his client

Adams response:

^thats a cup finalist btw

OKC looking good tonight

He also dealt a 5th in this year’s draft for a 5th in 2032

Dirty player, frequently employs the knee-on-knee wait…..I’m old

Good!

It would be honestly so ridiculously refreshing to see them deal this pick where it should be dealt, for now talent, rather than strut up to the podium with a smile while selecting the latest player who “fell right to them”
