Florida looked like they were “off” the last 7 days and the Bruins are riding a big OT win.
Not totally shocked. Took Florida 2 periods to start going.
If they don’t get goalied they’ll be fine.

Lindholm was awesome.
Dahlin makes that play a lot to you could see it coming as soon as Pasta took off. -
There are 3 great teams in the East then everyone else.
I’m done hearing about how far away we are.

No idea how you go almost 2 games not scoring on the Leafs.
Not sure how this debacle ends but congratulations to the Florida Panthers on their 4-0 sweep of whatever garbage moves on.

I think that was everything Toronto has left. They played near perfect.
Boston wins game 7 easy.

Quick takeaways
1. He mentioned faceoffs. I have zero doubt this has been discussed as a massive problem.
2. He talked about needing elite Defensemen. He’s correct. Common denominator with the best teams.
3. He talked about how - these weren’t his exact words - but how it’s important for everyone to get excited about the little things they do in the game that should get guys fired up. Like blocking shots or good clears, etc. There is more to get excited about then scoring goals.
I feel good about this. I think Adams and Lindy know what needs to be addressed and where they have to improve.
It was awesome to hear him interact with Harrington and Hamilton again. Flashbacks not just to 2006 but 1997-98.
Cannot wait to see what we do.

Lots to like. But I understand any frustration. My list was Peca, Lindy.
To me more then anything else this feels like it puts to bed forever the “stink” of the tank years.
Jack. Gone. Sam. Gone. Their coaches plus DG gone.
Lindy had nothing to do with those teams. Nothing to do with the tank and not one player we acquired. He won here. A lot.
It’s a true fresh start in every way with a leader that right away will show these guys what it means to win in Buffalo.

McKee has to be on the staff, right?

Where can the Sabres buy 2 or 3 Dakota Joshua’s?

So, all the things we loved about attending professional sports as kids are gone, ruined because of greed.
Not if you’re watching this Canucks game rn.
NFL game advantage is its once or twice a month. 8 games a year. People will go.
Have a terrible hockey team playing another one on a Tuesday in January? Tough draw.

It's a MINORITY interest so it's no big deal.
It could very well be a long term plan for an eventual "retirement" and sale way down the road. Potential to sell controlling interest or all interest down the road to the minority buyer and/or their associated group(s) at that time. But that could be like 10 or 20 years down the road.
He could live another 15-20 years.
He’s over 70. He also may not have many more years and really - I mean what happens with the teams if something were to happen to him say in the next 3-5 years?

I’d be slightly worried about Cozens if not for the entire team offense disappearing this year and everyone stunk.
It just stinks of a team that made excuses and quit on its coach.
Why did they make excuses? Because they felt the pressure and heard the outside noise.
This means they are embracing that it’s been 13 years despite what Okposo said.
So the optimist in me will just say at least they care. Now they need to find out who the leader behind the bench will be and the leaders on the ice.
My votes:
HC: Peca (I know; it sounds like Gallant.). But I’m hiring Peca if it’s me.
Captain: Dahlin
A: Tage
A: Tuch

Is there a link to his exit interview anywhere?

I’ve been taking this in all day.
What a ****ing disaster.
Even if this is true - YOU DON’T SAY IT OUT LOUD!!!
Omg! This frigging team. Burn down the analytics department. Revamp all of it.
I was of the belief Tage, Tuch, and Dahlin were better than this leadership wise. Especially the latter two.
The ONLY explanation I have - the only one is that Skinner and his coasting and his salary just completely screws this team’s chemistry.
How can you sit Cozens or Dahlin (who the heck exactly did Tage think needed to be sat?????) for doing things wrong or not working hard enough when Skinner not only repeatedly is at fault for what these guys are saying today but he’s paid 9 million dollars a season for it!
Get him out of here yesterday. Get 5 new players on this team identify what the data cannot - and that’s who are the freaking losers with loser mentality and get them out.
My guess is that list is probably one guy.

It’s all moot - the worst icing call ever.
Caps win.

Detroit what a freaking joke.
That never should have been icing.
All faceoffs matter nice job Montreal. Awful. -

After reading the accounting here of the press conference, my emotions seem different than most. I’m pissed, frankly.
KA saw what we all saw. Just acknowledged that he knew it was all wrong. Knew the practices were wrong. Knew coming out of camp was wrong. Knew that the bottom 6 wasn’t heavy enough. Knew that the players heads weren’t where they needed to be. And he let it all fester for the whole ***** season.
Hands on GM, my ass. You are complicit. Get the ***** out of here. You are over your head.
This is probably all right. And odds of this ending with Adams losing his job in April of 2025 probably are higher than making the playoffs.
This is why I didn’t really think I wanted Donnie fired at this point. It’s a sign the GM may not actually have his finger on the pulse but hopefully it was more Pegula saying just wait till the end of the year DG deserves at least that.

I am not happy with Adams. He did not do enough. I will give him credit for being pretty straight forward here and finally after months of bs saying the truth. The team isn't gritty enough, they aren't physical enough, they didn't handle it well, and it wasn't good enough. I didn't think Adams would say it to be honest. I will see how the coaching search goes.
I think their reaction to the boos in December cemented it for him - if anything sent off massive red flags.
Was there any moment that said “we’re too comfortable” then this?

2024 NHL Playoffs - ROUND TWO

I’ve turned. I think I really am not in the mood to see Reinhart v Casey in the Finals.
Nothing against Sam. I’m just done with my team and our fans getting kicked in the nuts. Happens enough to our team in games.
I started rooting for Boston couldn’t help the emotions sometimes that just happens.
Rangers are winning the Cup anyway. The Knicks are playing the Pacers. OJ was in the news. The Yankees are built right. Vancouver is awesome. Full 1994 vibes.
