First minute goal for the good guys. I must have glitched into alternate universe.

I mean, it would be hard to go through a season without that happening at least a few times. I think they should try it

Coaching is a concern, isn't it? I'll be happy to see the second half justify the high hopes. Lot of youth on the team, the veterans are not gritty guys with something left in the tank, and the coaching staff continues to leave glaring deficiencies unaddressed. So, I'll be surprised if it happens, but glad if it does.

Sigh. This sounds persuasive. It's probably right, though Comrie has not looked good since coming back from injury, and can't seem to stay healthy.

That healthy Comrie thing has not been a common feature of his tenure here. I think Thorny has it right. Levi can get his reps in Buffalo. If he struggles, you can always send him back to Rochester.

I haven't read the article, so this may be incorrect. My understanding is that McD made his exceedingly unfortunate analogy in 2019. It's the journalist who is bringing it to light just now. There's a difference, imo, between a boneheaded rhetorical choice and the ideologically motivated actions of Ivy League presidents. One is inept, the other is much more reflective of entrenched opinions.

Good thing I'm already a melancholic by nature, because otherwise I'd be blaming you fellas for the sadness. Every time I think there's light at the end of the tunnel with this team, turns out it's just a train coming to crush the hope.

No there isn't. He's just Jed Clampett.

I'd like to agree, but I still think the folks who agree with me are smarter.

That's not very mellow.

I know it is all too easy to create a fable out of ignorance. It is largely just emotive venting, as nothing I suggest will have material effect. I do think they are forced to try something sooner rather than later.

He's over-corrected for the previous toxic atmosphere. I don't know what the answers are, but from my distant perspective, I'd like to see KA choose a core of young players not yet on the club or just starting as keepers (eg. Kulich, Rosen, Levi, and Benson,) and put everyone else on the table for trades. It would probably do him good to even take less than how he values someone to break the ice in a trade. He's too scared to lose a trade, or too emotionally invested in his players. And really, I'd like to hire Michael Peca as HC. If a team ultimately reflects the attitude of their coach, Peca would shape them into a team that wins, even at home, lol.

Damn, that's a low bar.

This is really excessive self-castigation. I am also Polish on my mother's side, so I think that cancels out the infraction.

Well, I believe that someone was accused of being a jerk for noting a common grammatical mistake. So, maybe this will also be found haughty and pedantic, but since I am troubled by unintentional illogic, what you mean is that DG felt threatened, knowing that Peca would probably be his successor. Peca could still be hired as such, btw.

That didn't help.

Not me, but I live near Athens, so I've got one eye on the Bulldogs.

We're not good at that either.

VO is there to be invisible. Krebs to take penalties. Not sure what Rousek's role is.

I think you're insightful, and often correct. Still seems unnatural to actually like the Bruins.

I like them. It's like they came out of a Buck Rogers time warp.

Don't you know anything about jinxes? Just keep quiet.

Ah, well, that seems to be a problem.

Alright, a player that might contribute and solidify the goaltending so that Levi has a manageable workload for the regular season and can therefore play most of the playoffs. That was my thought; I hope that clarifies it for you.
