Best two way forward on the team?

Not exactly. Early yes, but the Sabres won 14 of the last 19 according to the broadcast and finished at 46%. Not great but not horrific either.

Expect the Flyers to goon it up on Friday.

I’m a Braves fan but like both teams in the series. Rangers deserve the win.

Lots of props to Biro. He was pretty solid tonight. I thought his best play was actually a feed to TNT early in the game. He must be on cloud nine after the game.

TNT (tv) is still droning on about Makar. What a bunch of crap.

Ugly win if there is such a thing. UPL was excellent.

Ok. This is working. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … we want 6!

1, 2, 3, 4 …we want 5!

Great save by UPL.

Dahlin with his 2nd great save of the year.

Joki makes up for 1st period tip.

Because it is a Flyer broadcast.

UPL stops a breakaway. It’s a miracle!

We want 4.

That just isn’t true any longer. Its why Clifton, Greenway and Johnson were acquired. They were added to Mule, Tuch, Dahlin, Z and KO. I’d like to see more from TNT, and Cozens. Skinner is also a solid pest.

Because he has 400 young talented forwards. DG’s system isn’t sandpaper oriented. That said we have plenty of size and sandpaper. The problem is our sandpaper forwards like KO and Z don’t really add much offense and some of our size (TNT) doesn’t add any sandpaper.

Move the puck faster.

Can you imagine how dangerous Z would be if he didn’t have hands of stone.

Favorite Coach moment. Knight appears on Letterman to explain why he threw the chair (9:40 mark). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIh3hyFFqAQ

Had a couple of fun run ins with him when I was student. Once my friends and I were out for dinner at a local Italian joint. Coach sat down next to us. I ordered Manicotti with a side a meatballs. Coach said to me that that sounded good and ordered the same thing. We had a good time talking to Coach that night. He was a complicated man who did many things well and some things terribly. However, my experiences with him were always positive.

TNT’s broadcast also sucks. Maybe it’s just a comcast thing.

And Joki.

Besides Quinn's injury, the reason VO wasn't traded is his cap hit. My guess is TP told KA he couldn't eat any of VO's cap if he traded him. Without eating cap, there is no market for him. Even if we are willing to eat 50% of his cap hit, who really wants him and has the cap space? Chicago, SJ, CBJ, and Ana are rebuilding and have cap space, but I doubt they are interested. The Canes have space but no need. Seattle has a need, and maybe the cap, but their issue is more defense. We aren't trading him in the division to Det. That leaves Arizona as a possible team with an interest and cap. Needless to say, not a huge market for VO's services.

Sounds like the NHL failed to disclose some material facts.
