Checks ravens / lions score…

As long as the World Series is competitive, it’s all good. This round has been great after 2 stinker rounds to start But I’d definitely root for the Phillies over the Astros

Allen looked like (bad) Brett Favre on that one

Looking at the highlight again, looks like he fans on the pass tbh haha Oh well, good/lucky

The Detroit Lions being good represents a shift in the very defining forces of the universe: all bets are off this probably SHOULD be the year we break the drought

There’s also a 7 month difference, which, the younger you are, is a greater relative amount of time to a growing kid that can be an eternity It’s the difference between now and our likely offseason

There’s certainly a middle ground between over the hill vet and green grass rookie

Impressive

Integrating players with little experience, when the team has legitimate expectations is a much different animal than integrating players with little experience into a roster who’s primary purpose is to develop

It’s possible. We’ll see how Benson looks after his 9. It takes a very uncommon talent to be able to seamlessly slide into a lineup that’s focused on winning hockey games as it’s primary goal, at the sparse age of 18. And it really has nothing to do with his raw talent: but rather, his experience. Smart Sabres twitter will literally never recover from questioning whether we had seen Dahlin’s ceiling during the Krueger years. It was such a laughable farce Im talking the chief, chief accounts of Sabres twitter

@Taro T

Not many would have imagined Casey as our current best player a couple years ago. Maybe GA But a fair few would have when he was playing that WJC outdoor game in those Bills-esque uniforms. He’s kinda that, now. Closer to, at least

Definitely. I hope it happens - that’s exactly what everyone was saying they wanted / felt we needed when they asked for a vet to be brought in. Clearly, KA didn’t seem all that confident in either back up, either, as we rostered 3 goalies and didn’t play either down the stretch last year. Need to preface by saying ONE GAME but if Comrie emerges as a competent “backup”, but in this case to, say, split starts more less 50/50 with another competent backup (backup +?) with Levi - goaltending could be good enough for now till it gets even better later with an experienced Devon. Will depend on rest of team. Either way, today is encouraging

If we played a game WITH the jerseys but WITHOUT Samuelsson the world would explode

Miller shut out for the new Miller. Levi era good while it lasted

Very.

The one guy who believed in him should take a victory lap while they can if he pulls it off. Speaking of which, where IS John at

/thread

1/1 this year so I’ll use these sparingly: I do see a W tonight This actually does need to happen if we lose, it would be pretty funny EDIT - the thread, not the loss

Definitely I can’t be the only one that thinks of the boarding he received first, ala immediate word association when someone says “Draper” kind of unfortunate

Lol: “Drafted 62nd overall in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft by the original Winnipeg Jets, Draper did not see much NHL action in his early years. He is a rarity in that he played in the American Hockey League (AHL) and NHL before playing junior in the OHL. After playing just 20 NHL games for the Jets in four seasons since he was drafted, he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings in 1993 in exchange for $1.” 1 dollar, Bob

It’s now 116,765th

I always chuckle when people reference that run in a negative connotation haha It was so much fun! A brief reprieve in the desert. I’ll take another one and worry about the rest later. I like wins I take your meaning relative to what came after but…still

Is Cozens really that bad 2 way or just struggling overall? I’ve always seen him as a pretty good 2 way guy but I could be way off the mark
