Dahlin looks nervous. Think he's worried about an elbow to the face?

We. Had. A. Shot!

Should have been 6 there.

You know who would have buried that? Skinner. But no, we don't play Skinner on the same line as Eichel because reasons.

Just what I was thinking. This game's over. Someone just give him a good punch or ten.

Do we have to play the rest of the game? Can't we just go "Hey Caps, we'll spot you three more goals and everyone can go home?"

How far back are you going to go? Scandella was traded for in June 2017.

How the heck were we getting rid of Scandella's money?

Kane was never going to re-sign.

No, in market. Fubo does "local" sports networks.

I don't disagree that it hasn't been helpful. I just think that clinging to the idea that we could have got a significant ready-now piece for Kane or that he would have stayed is wildly off the mark.

I think you're way more optimistic than me. Kane was gone. So we either lose him for nothing, or we trade him as a rental to a playoff team. What do you think the going rate for a rental with a history of issues is?

Do you really think Kane would have re-signed with the Sabres in the offseason?

Our PP is a crime against hockey.

Not sure I see the sense in keeping him around either. Couldn't we just run a competition or something? Instead of the Money Minute, you get a chance to be HC for the night.

What sane reason could there be for not leaving Housley sitting on his own outside the Canadian Tire Centre with his bags at the end of this game?

I wonder what Phil's excuses will be tonight. Wait, no I don't. It'll be the same ones as the last game. And the one before. And the one before.

Kane was a UFA at the end of last season. Do you really think there was even a tiny chance that he'd have signed with the Sabres? If you do, I have a bridge to sell you.

I was going to buy tickets for Tuesday. I can't be bothered now, it's an hour's drive each way and just plain not worth the time or money.

Why is nobody ever ready to receive the puck?

Why do we bother pulling the goalie? We can't even control the puck despite having an extra man.

Depends on what you're going for. If it's the natural sciences and you're planning on going on for a graduate/professional degree, they will absolutely know the difference. Letters of recommendation will also suffer. As an aside for the natural sciences, if someone's planning on going on after undergraduate to a PhD program or MD program, a big-name school is not always the best bet. While you're more likely to find a giant in the field at a big name school, the likelihood of an undergraduate interacting with that person is microscopically slim. They're also less likely to be enthused about teaching undergraduate classes. Smaller, UG-focused schools often provide a better preparatory education because of small class size, because professors tend to be more focused on teaching, and because undergrads have a better chance of being accepted into a lab in which they can perform meaningful research. This is definitely the case for biology.

Why would you go EN on the utterly terrible PP?

We are the exact opposite of the phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." We have some good and reasonably good players, but putting them together into a team, it becomes dire.

"Sabres need a pair to tie." You may as well ask them to part the Red Sea.
