Porous Five Hole

Restocking their farm team with vets? I don’t think any of them are everyday NHL players. Nieto is a fringe guy at this point making the league minimum.

Owen Power getting the JAG rookie treatment on nhl.com 😂

@Doohickie, when you get home, please post the Owen Power meme for me 🍺

On the GWG, Dallas G respected Tage so much he completely gave up on the concept of worrying about Power. And Tage dropped a dime. Thank you Sabres, I needed that.

Certificate expired. Could be my iPhone, but just fyi.

Agree, it just isn’t there. TSN trade tracker makes it quick and easy to review. https://www.tsn.ca/tradecentre/trade-tracker Looks like Ethan Bear is the only NHL defenseman traded all year. He’s been surprisingly alright as a 4 D (although TOI has been reduced 2-3 min from his season average each of the last five games). That’s it.

Is this Comrie & Hinostroza growing old together in the press box?

I don’t think that info is correct anyway I think it is wrong

Initial reactions to the season: The team relied on the continued development of McKenzie, Knox, and Gabe. It made sense to roll with this ascending group, but we didn’t get enough. McK is essentially replacement level, Gabe made some plays but could not be consistent, and maybe it was unreasonable to assume Knox would continue to develop into a top five TE (he was trending that way pre-injury last year). If this group doesn’t let the team down, the O Line issues aren’t as glaring. Stats are comparable from last year to this year offensively, but Dorsey is a rookie and it showed. The game flow seemed odd too many times, and JA17 is an alien isn’t an offensive identity. Next year should be better. The O Line. Brown and Bates did not take a step forward. That hurt a ton. Dawkins was average, but is being paid to be better than average. Safford, Van Rotten, and Ques wore down. Dumpster diving for depth did not work. I believe Josh’s elbow injury was understated. I’ll think about the D tomorrow.

If Cozens is a 1C and Tage gets “demoted” to the second line, he will score 200 points a year feasting off of easier matchups/PP time/majority offensive zone starts. OK not literally, but this would be best case scenario for the team.

A team can only jump ten spots, so the Pens would really have to fall off a cliff from here for that to happen.

Sorry Banditland, k hawks are now 6-0.

What is incredibly stupid to me is that there are no defensemen on the Atlantic roster. I know it’s an exhibition, but pretending defensemen aren’t a part of hockey is ridiculous.

Anybody coming to ROC for the game tomorrow? Hawks ticket hasn’t been a popular item since the pandemic (and they’ve also been pretty bad since the team switch), but tix selling well (lower bowl between the nets is nearly sold out) and hoping for a decent walk up tomorrow as it is mild in ROC.

During his induction speech, Miller directly thanked golisano for saving the team and also thanked Larry Quinn by name. So I don’t know how jabby he was actually getting.

I think he did by not participating, no?

He is an expiring contract who hits people and is a relentless forechecker. I’ve got room on my fourth line for him for the rest of the season.

Yes, with their 33k in cap space 😂

Tua?

Oh man, this is so vague it is literally gold
