  2. Rudolph sitting there trying to rip his helmet off first, he just returned the favor. Of course the QB gets off scoff-free. Where's Kaepernick to cry about racism when it's actually warranted?
  3. Swap Eichel with Rodrigues and I like it a lot more.
  4. What a weird thing thing to complain about. Cap has been hell for years because of Murray, and Botterill is one year away from shedding everything except Okposo's contract and opening up more than enough room for those players. And neither is playing to a top dollar contract right now anyway.
  5. Rodrigues has been a little better lately. Vesey has laid an egg again. Girgensons has forgotten about offense entirely. Okposo is just a drag. This team lacks talent in a big way.
  6. Some overreactions here. They finally score 4 ES goals, what more do you want? The PK hemorrhaged and Hutton let in softies. I do agree Oloffson is overmatched on the top-line. Skinner really needs to be back with Jack. Reinhart should drop down to another line. Scandella is actually a calming presence. Jokiharju has been our best defender.
  7. Hutton laid an egg and our PK sucks. And our PP too. Nothing more to say other than I enjoyed them waking up in the 2nd period.
  8. You get no cap savings at all if you're exceeding the cap before LTIR, like we currently are, even if you aren't using all the LTIR. We will have 0 saved up at the deadline unless some big trade happens moving lots of money out. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/sabres The projected LTIR must be negative for us to be gaining anything. We're 2 million over. Hunwick is never coming back, so that's ok. But the current 'cap space' is only 4.8 million, so they'll need to fine another 300k to reinstate Bogosian (covered by us sending someone down and then we will have 700k cap space remaining). Botterill is going to want to end the season under though, because there's 4 million in rookie bonuses on the line. Though, we can carry any rookie bonus overages forward to next year where we will be out of cap hell, and probably what he intends to do.
  9. Bogosian will return. We have zero cap space.
  10. Teams having been clogging up the middle of the ice in the defensive zone more, but that doesn't mean the players should just give-up. And halfway through the game the defenders then relax, but the forwards are still in a perimeter mindset and don't take advantage of it. From my perspective, it's more on the Sabres and less on other team's adjustments. Lot's of bad habits through the tanks years to break. Krueger has a tough time ahead of them. The young captain fell on deaf teammate's ears last year. Will it come through now? I saw a completely different offensive game out of them in the second Lightning game, so I have hope still.
  11. Despite the score, there was a huge improvement in their playstyle from the first Lightning game to the second game last weekend. They reverted to perimeter play, then remembered to bring plays to the net. Problem was their playstyle for the first day after having so much time to practice. Powerplay fell apart and so did our scoring. GLO line stopped being dangerous. Line tweaks seem to help, but I think it's obvious we lack talent on forward. Some of our defenseman are also too weak to play the man. Hope we see some more line-tweaking going forward. Skinner really should be with Eichel. Reinhart and Eichel need to be separated. Oloffson may be a PP specialist, but only deserves 3rd line minutes outside of that. I like Mittelstadt on 2LW.
  12. Why are there so few Ukrainian hockey players?
  13. Cherry has promoted the troops during intermissions for 40 years. Coach's corner has been a space for propaganda for decades.
  14. Ultimately, inviting foreign armies into the nation who just turned around later and sacked the city when corruption ran rampant and unsustainable food programs had a hiccup has parallels that go above and beyond your understanding. Trudeau did a great job promoting every cabinet member based upon skin color. Following Obama's footsteps in that regard. I'm sure sportsnet will do the same. Sure, Cherry could use some humility. Many service members never once ask for recognition. But he's an 85yo man that's walked the walk in life, he's the one person qualified to ramble. Embarrassing that young folks take their service for granted like that. And yes, I love Carlin. And it's hilarious that you bring him up on this topic--- Trump literally broke Carlin. The American non-PC Cherry. He was the hero Carlin pined for for decades, yet everything he ever read made him want to despise the man. Except still, Trump was everything Carlin ever asked for. His Common Sense podcast faded out as his cognitive dissonance gave him pain, and his Trump Derangement Symptom listeners rabidly attacked him for even merely mentioning the idea that an outsider may be better than another corrupt retread and he wanted to calm down the divisiveness. Sad, because he was a voice of reason that could've helped bridge the divide. At least it shifted his gears enough to pump out the Addendum series.
  15. You listed a bunch of symptoms but couldn’t find a root cause?
  16. They don’t teach about the fall of Rome anymore do they? Bunch of ninnies
  17. Hedman had more fans than the 6 players from Buffalo drew. Go look at the announcement for the games in Prague/Germany and they heavily emphasize the star players from each country being represented.
  18. Yes, if we had a foreign all-star we should do a global series game. But we don't have any all-stars that aren't Swedish or CanAm. If we acquired one somehow, we should definitely do it again. Even if it messed up our schedules for the last few weeks. The scheduling had nothing to do with the two losses they had with tons of rest. Don't make it an out.
  19. Conservative coaches with good defenses don't go for 4th down every time we're between the 40s.
  20. Allen is a fine QB. We don't even get a TD without him. Abysmal playcalling is the problem. Too much throwing, and too much Ford when we do choose to run. Not having a WR like Landry made all this difference this game too. Our defense for what, the 4th straight week came out cold? They need to change something because those initial drives are losing us games in the long-run. And our run defense is struggling. Can't be mad overall at the defense who gives up as little as it does. It's the offense. Sad that Hausch$$ has lost his pennies.
  21. Ain't nothing wrong with what he said. Immigrants who aren't nationalists are peak ungrateful and undeserving versus those who are waiting in line.
  22. Lol that’s one way to swing the momentum to a defense that wasn’t playing well.
