Really? The place has been a morgue for years
Then you could argue context is missing and the comment is finger-pointing to save face at best. "It only took 7 years and me leaving" is actually "I didn't win any games that were significant enough for people to cheer loudly for us." That doesn't mean it was a good comment, it's merely sad if true.

Can someone please explain why Connor McDavid to the Sabres is all over twitter? I know it has to be some sort of joke or coordinated prank, but I don't get it.

Anyone see the new Dune? Was thinking of taking the kids to see it but they're 9 and 6. Not sure how appropriate it is.
Watched The Devil's Backbone. Pretty good but not as scary as I thought it would be.
Depends on what you let your kids see. There are a few creepy scenes where the antagonist is shown nude from the side or behind which I think are a little too much for kids just based on the creep factor. In regards to the violence, this isn't like marvel superhero violence where the "bad guys" get punched, fly 30 feet through the air and land bloodlessly "knocked out." Blood flies around and there are a few instances of minor gore.

I actually forgot I owe you a jersey but the clause means nothing in this situation. It only becomes leverage at the end or when you are the party desperate to end the relationship. The Sabres want to move on, Jack is desperate.
And for the record, I twice tried to arrange a meet up with you to give you that jersey. I pay my debts and people on here who know me can attest to that.
I can settle this amicably for all parties. Send me the jersey and we'll call it even!

Tanking is losing intentionally. This is not a tank. The team has prioritized letting youth develop and knows they don't have good goalies. As such, they are ok with losing, but are not actively pursuing it.

Random wild thought (Jack, if you’re reading this and it works I want 3% commission for career earnings):
Could Jack RETIRE, get the surgery he wants, go to the Olympics, then unretire?
His contract would still be with the Sabres, no?

We've been over this before: If Eichel had any thoughts of doing this, he would have done it by now to be ready for the season start. If he has the surgery and it doesn't go well, then the Sabres void $50 million of his income and if it didn't go well, who's going to pay him? No one. He's not going to incur that risk.
I think the reason the Sabres won't approve the surgery he wants is that it hasn't been done on an NHLer previously, and there is some possibility it could fail and in the worst case scenario cause paralysis. That's a risk the Sabres are not willing to take (although apparently other teams are). A lawsuit resulting from paralysis could involve more than the amount of Jack's salary.
I read on the forum here that the period for him to file a health grievance is long past.
Thanks, I read the last few pages but didn't go through the entire thread. Seems a but hypocritical on his end to want to ramrod through a treatment but only at the risk of the club. If he were truly convinced this is the best course of action he should have assumed the risk and he'd be gone already.

What would really happen if Eichel just went ahead and got the surgery he wanted? Worst case scenario the Sabres void his contract, which would leave him free to sign with another team? They could fine and suspend him without pay according to the CBA, but they would still need to trade him eventually. I don't see why he doesn't just do what he wants if he's so upset about it? You'd think someone with an ego like his would be willing to bet on himself.

Coverage is terrible. It's the 2nd rd not a late round, why are we not getting reaction on picks and instead getting interviews with players only fans of that team will care about?
-
ESPN coverage is pretty meh

How much guff would we take if we took Eklund instead of Powers?

if you go to this page and open the teams' pages from the standings list into new tabs, you can see the leading scorers on each team to get an idea of who scores. I do this after each quarter of the season to ground myself in what's going on. Anyone you're intrigued about, hit youtube to watch them play a bit to get a sense of their game.This is awesome, thank you very much!

That was a helluva 10 years to take off - nice work
Lol, looks like it. I moved out of the country and only had enough energy and willingness to accept punishment in me to follow the Bills from abroad. I decided I missed Hockey and have been trying to read up to get a decent idea of who is who in the league now but it's a bit daunting. It does seem like I picked a decent time to take off though, we seem to be not great from all accounts.

Hello all! Returning to follow the team after taking like a decade off from watching hockey. From surfing the board are we expecting a Reinhart trade as well today?

Vegas isn't mathematically eliminated even with a shootout loss right?
