Broken Ankles

Rob Ray blames Miller? And the fowards? Clearly incompetence by Dahlin. He had no business pressing the puck.

If they did not sign Hall, probably less drama around Jeff. He slots into LW with Staal and Cozen, and maybe they perform adequately 5v5. The PP isn’t what it is today without Hall, but how many goals they regress, not sure. He’s probably getting moved at the deadline, and the return is unknown but perhaps significant down the road. Having a solid #2 in net and a guy that you can trust to play big minutes if you have to (like now possibly) is way more valuable than a goal scoring forward (who isn’t scoring). I also think of other assets in that trade when you take on MAF. They needed that space and probably would have moved someone else to sweeten the deal. Whether it be Tuch, who seems to be playing better this season, or McNabb to help our D corp, I’m probably leaning on a trade with Vegas over the FA signing, for this year at least.

The NJ broadcast reported eight high danger chances against by the Sabres in the first period. That’s one more than the average per game through 16. The defense is struggling.

Joki and Irwin. Worst pair in the NHL today?

Gotta piss off Jack just a bit, no?

They need line changes Out - Eakin, KO, Sheahan, Mitts, Davidson, Irwin, In - Skinnner, Quinn, R2, Dea, Borgen, Fitz. Eakin, aka the Invisible Man, needs to watch a few from the press box. Lazar needs more 5v5 minutes. Move him up to the third and have him and Rieder play minutes against the oppositions FL1, like the GLO line did last season.

As long as it isn’t a My Pillow. They’re filled with lies, not down.

Agree on Jake. Best season with the Blue and Gold. Risto might not coming back for while. Issues with Covid. If we lose McCabe and Risto for 5-6 weeks as alluded to above it would complicate our playoff potential immensely. Pleasantly surprised with Borgen so far. But leaning on Dahlin/Miller/Montour to play those kind of minutes for almost two months will be challenging. Due to the compressed schedule 6 weeks is ~25 games. Ouch.

Maybe RFK needs to take the boys out on a little boat excursion. Seemed to work for R.P. McMurphy. Billy Babbit, Martini, Tabor, and the rest of the boys came back to the asylum with a renewed energy. Although, it could result in Charlie Cheswick telling Kim, errrr Nurse Ratched “Rules?! Piss on your ***** rules, Nurse Ratched”

They cannot trade Linus, as he is an unrestricted FA in June. They will not have to protect him at all. I think its assumed that Seattle would be taking a goalie from Dallas (Khudobin) or Vancouver (Holtby). Would you rather?

I would like to commiserate. My feelings: “Belly-up and arch your back Well, I ain't really falling asleep, I'm fading to black”.

Posting the I don’t care song, That’s not right!!! Your brother doesn't post that song. Your father doesn’t post that song. You’re like a crazy person. Now get upstairs and put your big pants on.

Didn’t they just trade their Franchise QB?

That sequence resulted in zero shots. Not a horrible period, but did they register three shots on goal? Need more.

I think he means on the first line. Tage took his last shift.

Tied for the lowest Expected Goals for. Second last in Scoring Chances and second last in High Danger Chances. Although the last two are obviously impacted by the hiatus, still bottom 7 when adjusted for games played. Said by others, unwilling (or instructed) not to go and stay in front of the net. I would to see a Rick Vaive type player on this squad.

RFK- You might want to ensure 44 is on the bench next time Bazzel is on the ice

No doubt. But to quote the great one, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Driving the player into the boards equals no save required.

Dahlin struggled skating backwards. Horrible goal but definitely contributed to the play. There were two sabers Reinhardt and Miller covering the other side. Rasmus had no business playing off his man. No reason to even allow a shot.

This is his Wally Pip moment. He skates Monday and replaces Montour in the starting 6.
