Broken Ankles

San Jose is now tied with Edmonton after their win tonight. Two in a row after Mike Grier rattled some cages in the dressing room. McKenzie Blackwood played great. Skinner, not so much, giving up 3 on 18 shots. The Sharks PK held the Oil scoreless on 4 chances. Could be some broken LCD’s in Edmonton tonight.

Maybe more luck and conditioning.

I’ll ask in the form of an SAT question. RyJo is to Sabrespace as Blank is to Mean Girls? The answer is Fetch. It’s just not going to happen.

Raanta’s save against Krebs was number 8 on ESPN’s Top 10, and his save against Mitts was number three.

Sebastian Aho with two points tonight and 22 in his last 11 games against Buffalo. This guy kills Buffalo like William Fredrick Cody.

JJ - retribution for a careless mistake.

What’s up with the nuance? Don’t you know there is a narrative we need to support?

Bruins win in Big D. Swayman is a perfect 6-0, GAA ~1.38 with a save percentage above .950. An embarrassment of riches between the pipes.

What are the sides? Cornbread, baked potatoes? My wife makes a vegetarian for others in the family. I grew up “con carne”.

Disclaimer - Not here to pi$$ in everyone’s Cheerios. (That’s somebody else’s job). Happy with a win, and the effort. But I need to see wins against opponents not playing their backup goaltender. Five of six wins have some at the hands of a backup.

Anyone know how Philly is doing tonight?

Comrie is week to week, so what is your guess on games played going forward with UPL? We have 10 games including the Thanksgiving weekend before Comrie is an option. This includes two sets of back to back. How many games does he see? The Pens on 11/11, Chicago on 11/19 and Pens again on 24th? Levi has the next two (assuming he gets both), both tough games against Toronto and Carolina. Possible UPL gets Minnesota. When does he get another real “shot”, and not just his turn in the rotation as a back up? A legit chance at taking 7 of 10 games. Is it another Levi injury? Last week I was convinced KA was genius for keeping a three man rotation, tonight I’m MF’ing him for not trading this summer. The gummies have helped subside the pain. An oft injured Comrie, inconsistent UPL and an unknown quantity in Levi. Ethos, Pathos and Logos.

They were heard, and even acknowledged by Dan. Didn’t invest the time and energy like those who did go to the game, but watching, I was disappointed the same.

Not how I anticipated starting my weekend.

Swayman was great too. That tandem will be tough all season. Unfortunately.

Sending positive vibes from the West.

Punch - Did Dodo put an extra shot of espresso in your Americana this morning? You are on 🔥!

Not taking anything away from UPL, but 78 will be back in the press box soon enough. He was entrusted with 8 minutes tonight. That’s what the coaches think of his play. Clifton was playing 15:30 and will contribute as this team improves this fall. This team finally gets two wins in a row. Two is a coincidence. Beat the same team on home ice Friday. Three is a trend.

Let’s see how many games McAvoy gets. Marty says 5. Hopefully six, so he misses his appointment with the Sabres on 11/14.

But, but Rob said, “ no need to shoot at the net just keep it out of your own end” after they pulled their goalie with 3:32. Living in 1980. Bring Marty down to replace him for color please.
