Porous Five Hole

I’ve never heard of Stamkos having maturity issues.

depends… they usually in the locker room?

He responded on Vogel’s thread, “Whoops I didn’t even notice. My wife put it together frantically in 30 minutes after I got out of work and had to drive an hour to the stadium.” But in subsequent posts, he’s acting like he’s playing 4D chess.

It’ll suck in four years, but he’s still playing at a 1C level. Better than a point per game.

Actual cheeks in seats are probably like 12,500. But they’ll announce something like 15k

Sabres won in Hasek’s return. So why not? Let’s do this!

Anyone have an extra to sell? Happy to pay your cost v ticketmonster resale.

So the Coyotes? I can’t fathom another team that will hover around the cap floor for the next four continuous seasons. But selling 5k seats a night, I guess it might fit the bill in terms of cash outlay versus cap cost.

I don’t hate it. There was a time that his maturity was in question and it was a non-starter. But time has come and gone…and Kane has appeared to come a long way. I would now trust him in a room full of young players.

The AFC quarterback roster is murderers’ row

Does this apply to fans?? Are you calling me out haha?? Because the covid 19 lbs are real. 😬😜🍰🥃🌝

Quinn is also out of the ROC lineup tonight and allegedly day-to-day. Maybe the NHL game is too demanding for his body type right now? Keep him in ROC on his fitness plan and see how he looks in the fall.

Agree. There’s just no value of Kane to a team this young…especially if you have to give up assets to obtain him. The Hawks would be doing him an injustice. A two year deal next offseason as a UFA for reasonable money to take the heat off of Quinn & Skinner? I’ll consider it.

He wasn’t available last year and Herbert had some outstanding performances. Plus he’s moving into his third year. His arrow is trending up. To me, Russ is more of an unknown for his ceiling. Plus a new offense. I’ll take Herbie.

I was going to head down for the game tonight until I saw game day pricing. Upper deck between the blue lines is $27/ticket…after fees online, it is $36. Compared to the big club, I guess that’s a deal…but eff that. What a shame.

Absolutely, it’s a 7.8M cap hit until 25-26. The actual dollars are a lot less(only 6M in actual money paid over the remaining term), but it’s going to take quite a bit to get a team to invite that atrocity into their cap. Unless someone plans to hover around the cap floor for the next four seasons.

Congrats to the Denver Broncos for going from having the 4th best quarterback in the AFC West… to having the 3rd best quarterback in the AFC West. 😜

I would use hindsight at the conclusion of his current contract, so the conclusion of the 25-26 season. He was under team control until that point.

I’ll take Jaro over Rhett. Spacek had more points in one season (45) than Rhett had in all three of his qualifying seasons (00-01, 01-02, 02-03). However, both were plus players each of their three qualifying seasons and Rhett played a heavier game. I suppose it just depends on roles.

Well that was probably the worst rendition of Oh Canada in my lifetime.

DG’s brother Tony Granato head coached the Aves and currently head coaches U of Wisconsin.

I’m far from a Granato apologist, but I guess I don’t know what y’all were expecting from this team or this head coach?

https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=6965 I am sure must know DG’s history, but it isn’t for a lack of experience. Was he a cheaper option? Probably. But I don’t know how attractive the job was to established veteran coaches in the market, I do believe in the Krueger stench, and the Sabres are among the least talented teams in the league. Just recently has a top line emerged as a legitimate top line and just recently did we regain our replacement level NHL goalie.

Honestly I loved the post-horn retaliatory slash by Dahlin on Spurgeon. It was one of those, “don’t eff with me, punk” moments. He has worn his big boy pants as the year has gone on. He’s embraced contact and played more physical. His mix of physicality and skill is in a good place right now.

I think he should try it on for size. Not trying to be a 🍆. Remember the ascent of Brian Campbell? That was fun.
