Porous Five Hole

Yes, a full no move clause

I don’t have an opinion on his next contract, but since his healthy scratch and then given big minutes during the Power injury…he’s responded perfectly.

For me to move off of Tage and his favorable contract, it would have to look like some of these Brady offers. He’s having a tough year, but he has a nearly 50 goal season under his belt. Not many guys can do that.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but it’s actually true.

Only for this season. They will be fine next year….granted they won’t have much cash to add via UFA in the offseason, but they’ll be fine. Kubalik and Tarasanko won’t return. A four million cap rise. That’s plenty to sign Pinto & Sanderson. Their problem is fixing their league worst goaltending. No easy answer for that and UFA route is proving unreliable for a lot of teams.

Evander Kane was the type of player we needed when we got him. Turns out more than the type of player matters.

The Sabres aren’t going to change who they are or how they’re building because Walt’s immature kid MIGHT be on the trading block. I will agree with you that it will not be an option to just roll this team out there again next year. It also cannot be an option to replace KO & Z with Rosen & Kulich. Vets will need to come in and prepare for it to be overpayments (via trade or free agency).

The Amerks are in a bit of a lull, but they’ll be fine. They’re only a point out of 3rd place in the division. And they just finished a seven game in eleven day stretch (without Kulich, Bryson, and some without Clague). Yes, six losses in the last ten, but as you pointed out, those loser points sure do come in handy. I also take that as a positive to grab points when they’re not at their best. Levi has been a stabilizing force. Way more confidence in him than Cooley (or Toker for that matter). Maybe this is a rose colored glasses viewpoint, but I truly expect them to make playoffs and be dangerous.

Don’t mistake his style of play as the only thing that matters here. If the Sens team captain has maturity issues, then you cannot bring him into the youngest team in hockey. His fresh start would need to be where there’s a core group of veterans and this ain’t it.

Tim Murray is a guy I would love to have a beer with, but goodness gracious he was a terrible GM

Your CD is skipping

What I like about Greenway is he’s a pro. He’s a fully grown adult. He kills penalties well and he’s never intimidated. I don’t need him to fight or score. I need him to be a pro. I’m glad he’s on the team.

The Milwaukee Admirals won their 18th straight game today.

I agree. The Pens are your example of an older underperforming cap team.

I’m not a defender of the pod, but that’s not what he said.

Levi 52 saves!

Amerks even up the game with a Jobst PPG. The Amerks & Marlies are playing in the Leafs building.

Sabres offense needs to bail out their goalie. He’s been outstanding for a while until today.

SOG: Sabres 24 Ducks: 5

Looking forward to seeing the Lyubushkin tribute video

Cheer. Today is a new day.

This has happened before elsewhere. Nov 2014 in Toronto: A day after neglecting to salute the crowd following a win on home ice, Toronto Maple Leafs players said the non-gesture was not intended as a shot at their fans. Some speculated that the players were angry with their fans, a small number of whom have thrown team merchandise onto the ice during losses this season, and a larger number of whom expressed their displeasure as the struggling team lost recent back-to-back games to Buffalo and Nashville by a combined score of 15-4. This by no means was an attack on our fans or anything personal,” Phaneuf said. “This was about our team and changing up our routine.” Forward James van Riemsdyk agreed. “We have great respect for our fans…this by no means was an attack on our fans or anything personal.” https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.2844931 Credit to the veteran Sabres player who at least was honest, I guess?
