Porous Five Hole

I could be mistaken, but I don’t think the Empire Sports Network was carried on basic cable in Syr. But I know for a fact MSG & SportsChannel were.

What happened with him? He has the fourth-most games and seventh-most wins of any coach in NHL history. It seems he was well regarded from an outside looking in perspective at his Jets tenure.

Both teams were four games in six nights, but the Sabres put on a clinic. And they were the road team!

Aside from being three points down with three games at hand, Buffalo has two games head to head with the Caps. This is excellent.

I get your point. But as we saw with Damar this week, you don’t win by saying or showing anything. No one thought putting Damar on the Jumbotron during a snowstorm or TV b-roll footage of him exiting a gator with a mask on would spark stupid conspiracy theories. But this is what happens in social media today. If that was my family, I wouldn’t want to deal with that. And don’t forget Jessie Pegula is the third ranked women’s tennis player in the world. That could be a distraction to her. Questions during every tournament and every press conference. No one in her family wants that either.

Well Cozens is getting nice raise, so that could be KO’s money right there (7 X 7.5ish). With Jost onboard and with Bishop’s salary included, the Sabres are at 64M (floor is 61M). Assuming they don’t take on another Bishop-type contract, the Sabres would need to spend Girg’s 2M and (estimated) 3M-ish of Bishop’s 5M somehow. This assumes the cap floor rises 1M. That’s plenty of money to rebuild your fourth line.

I’ll take a new partner for Boosh please. A 4/5 D type who can act as injury insurance in case Joki breaks again. Other than that, roll with the kids and let them get this experience playing important minutes and under pressure. They’ll be better for it in the long run. If there’s an injury up front, insert Krebs and call up Aspy to the fourth line. No forward blockers please.

Jake and his wife were residents of Chicago as far back as 2016 and perhaps earlier. It is why they chose the Hawks in the first place. He’s not leaving. And if he is, he’s not coming to a team like this. He would go to a team like the Avs or Rangers as an over the top acquisition. —edit to add he has a modified NMC and I can almost guarantee Buffalo is on it.

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.
