New Guy

Credit to how their defense played, but so much of the **** they did that didn't have to be initiated (and could get away with, as Rob said and we saw on PK) was infuriating. Boarding on VO, assaulting Sobotka, end of the second, missed calls early in the first, etc. Going to have to cool down a bit before sleeping tonight, and I hope and trust this can be an off night and we can redeem ourselves and adapt. I'm definitely concerned if this serves as a consistent blueprint of sorts to beat us...the West coast trip will be very telling.

That I did not

I don't mind hearing it a bunch based off the result but that phrase just feels forced and not very creative is all

And Dan has said Eichel tower one too many times already this year

I read through phallic emoji analyses a slight bit longer than I expected to today

The checking detail was impressive today

Save a goal, get rewarded with a goal!

Imagine if Sobotka had a better winger than Skinner on his line. Am I doing it right?

Rob immediately recalling the same play last year vs Montreal...impressive

Soupman ?

High fives all around my dudes Tempered optimism, but definitely a night and day performance by the second relative to last year. Zemgus giving Hughes a welcome to the league hit put a big grin on my face too

?

Keys to the game: 1. Score 2. Other team is good 3. 3 periods to play

I appreciate all the links and analyses you guys have posted. I don't know jack about evaluating 18 year olds we won't see in the NHL for a while, but if the pre-draft and post-draft talk thinks it's a good fit, I'm satisfied as well.

Predictions on our bedtime?

The Avs-Flames series has been so fun to watch

Management for the Bills seems to fortunately be set. I was very nervous and confused during McDermott's initial hire, Whaley being muted for that horrible end of the year PC, and giving a rookie GM lots of power in terms of the draft and possibly picking out his own GM. But McD looks like a grand slam and we're lucky to have him, especially after the Rex Ryan debacle. As for this team, who knows when things will get turned around. The tank teams are gone, the rebuild remains underway, and we can only change HC/GM so many more times. I'll still remain optimistic that this core will be able to contend in the near future. As for the Pegulas as people, impact around WNY, willingness to spend (on both players and far too many unemployed front office members and coaches, too, sadly...), and how much they evidently care about the teams, we couldn't ask for more. As others have said, it could be far worse. I really hope he isn't as meddlesome as some rumors make him out to be, but I really don't think they are anymore at the very least (letting Jason fire Phil, McBeane having full freedom to shape the Bills roster over the last couple years, etc.). #TrustTheProcess

With him declaring for this draft, how many years at minimum will he have a love for the game?

No need to fuss about the last two wins - it's the massive collapse beforehand that put us in this place to begin with, nor would slightly higher odds guarantee anything.

Ha

As per my username, I'm new to following the NHL as a whole. I tuned in last year where the results were between intermissions, but with this being an hour-long segment on its own, how exactly will they make use of all the time?

The next HC will decide who stays and goes

I wonder which current Blue Jackets are going to be Panthers next year Also, I'm curious whether or not this was Jason's decision alone or if he needed Terry's blessing.

Bob Bougher is the first to go....will we follow suit shortly?

Z scored? And you guys are claiming our lottery chances are busted
