Porous Five Hole

You’re probably just blowing off some steam and know this, but UPL would need to clear waivers to get sent down and that’s unlikely to happen.

LOL Whose beer is this? Wrong answers preferred. I’ll go with UPL’s goalie coach.

The Sabres have won three in a row while you’ve been gone, so maybe it’s you 😜

Right, and I was riffing off your comment and not trying to respond directly to you. I’m sorry if my writing didn’t make that clear.

13-4 in their last 17 at home. I like that trend.

And it isn’t as bad as it has been made out to be. The hockey news did a study and Buffalo is the 13th highest tax city in the NHL…middle of the pack & not noteworthy. Kevyn really screwed up that day and he should be fired for it. https://thehockeynews.com/news/hockey-taxes-what-an-nhl-player-pays-in-taxes-depending-on-their-team

Minor correction. This narrative of a meltdown was created by the organization to cover their azz for Pat abruptly quitting and it isn’t true. The day Patty quit ended up being a day of infamy. It killed the concept of a senior hockey executive running a hockey department in Buffalo. It killed the relationship with a former star player. It enabled/empowered Pegs to be closer to hockey decisions. Turned out Pegs likes being close to hockey decisions.

If a Penguin has a milestone to hit, you can guarantee it’ll happen against Buffalo.

High danger scoring chances: Jets 13 Sabres 2 Thanks Comrie!!

Third game in four nights is usually a tough third period. The Jets haven’t played since Thursday. Buckle up!

Here are the most likely tiers and draft compensation: $4,580,917 - $6,871,3741 1st-round pick, 1 3rd-round pick $6,871,374 - $9,161,8341 1st-round pick, 1 2nd-round pick, 1 3rd-round pick I think you instantly match anything for JJP in either tier. Certainly match up to 6.8MM for Byram (especially if you buy out Muel for 700k a season). But if someone wants to pay Byram more than 7MM, I’m not so sure about that.

It actually matters a lot.

He’s radio only and not tv simulcast.

I noticed you had said that. I have only had it visiting friends because I’m not close to a location. The last two times I had it, one was a sheet and had crust and normal cheese portions. The time before that it was a white pizza and it definitely had crust and normal cheese. Maybe it varies a bit by location? My experience is from N Greece Rd.

Eric Comrie revenge game?

I live in ROC and we are saturated with pizza joints and it is awesome. The variety is nice. The traditional pizza and wing joints (Carbone’s & Guida’s are great), the high end wood fired (Ardor, Fiorella, & Merchants). Then you’ve got the new age like Pizza Wizard, Peels on Wheels, & Salty Bread Pizza Co Buffalo style pizza is not for me. Too much cheese and BTW crust is a good thing y’all.

Good idea

This is so surprising to me. Also seventh most major penalties assessed in the league. Is this an indication their game is getting heavier? Or more a reflection of younger/less talented players compensating for mistakes by taking a penalty? Both?

Sarcasm? Under no circumstances do I want Tage punching down to someone’s helmet or visor.

Enjoy!!! It’s sold out. For better or for worse, I’m seeing most auditorium shows where people just stay seated. I agree three hours is a long time, but it’s hard for me to rock out sitting down.

@Claude Balls passed in 2024. @Claude_Verret‘s last activity was the Covid megathread back in 2021

Brett Murray has 25 PIMs in 55 GP this year. It just isn’t his game.

I agree with you in principle. I really do. But why do we not see hits like this all the time? It’s because players know better than Jiri does. It’s because our Rookie doesn’t have NHL spatial awareness and because he’s adjusting to a faster game. You’re right, he got taken advantage of. But that doesn’t make the hit illegal. I actually prefer the policy you’re proposing to protect player’s heads, but I would be very upset to be suspended and lose paychecks because a guy bent over or surged forward at the last second on me.

To the bold, that is every body check. The intent is to blow someone up. The hit was not illegal. It was not late, Kulich had time to see him coming, and Jiri had the puck. If Jiri was standing up, he would have taken it in the middle of the chest. To me, there’s a difference between targeting the head and contact to the head. I would suspend a target, you seem to want to suspend contact. I get that you want to err on the side of caution. In a perfect world, so do I. But that wasn’t a dirty check.

Not sure about that, Swamp. I guess my take is going to be unpopular to you three, but what responsibility does Kulich have to bear for having his head down at the level of someone else’s hip? Like, yea, dude could have laid up knowing Jiri was vulnerable, but that isn’t a dirty hit. While there was clearly contact to the head, I don’t believe Howden was targeting Jiri’s head at all. It just happened the way it did. Rookie-level awareness by our guy. in the AHL, he beats the pursuit clean and is ready for Howden. It sucks and I hope he’s OK.
