Andy is in the ZONE

Good *****, boys...

Andy's been really good.

PP needs some work. (That's what she said)

DAHLIN!

PETERKA! !

JFC, thank you, Mr. Anderson

Pretty dreadful first period. Feels fortunate to only be trailing 1-0.

Sens only a 14-9 advantage in shots. Feels much worse.

Sens are pesky as hell...

Rat farts.

It's so bad. Watched the Oilers-Canucks game last night and the ads were alternately glitching/flashing or swallowing players/officials up like a bad PlayStation game.

With the goat head being officially named as the new 3rd jersey, Shop One Buffalo has some new goat head gear available... https://shoponebuffalo.com/collections/sabres-third Didn't go crazy (subjective) because I'm waiting for the jersey. Probably want to act quickly because it seems to be going fast.

This deal will look like a bargain in a couple of years.

The proverbial switch flipped and I suspect he continues to trend toward elite. I think a lot of the ups/downs he's dealt with have been confidence related, but he looked like he finally was starting to feel comfortable in his own skin out there. Big year coming.

21 goals, 33 assists, 54 pts in 2022-23.

Meh. 1) Nobody knows how effective he's going to be with all of the injuries and his numbers have been falling off of a cliff. 2) Assuming he stays healthy, I'd rather see the 16-18 minutes a game go to somebody that's a part of the future. 3) Unknown effects to the chemistry/culture KA/Granato are trying to build. 4) I believe we were on his no-trade list, so the point is probably moot.

Oh, hell yeah. I'll definitely be getting a Seals jersey.

Oof. That reminds me of this... https://youtu.be/XyNh1j3dsp8

I was saying back in February buyer needs to beware on Kadri. He's a good player, but he had an outlier career year in his contract season on an absolutely STACKED team. He's probably looking to get paid like a ppg player when his career says he's probably a 45-55 point guy...and he'll be 32 at the start of the season.

Wonder what the holdup is with Kadri? Avs trying to clear cap space to re-sign him?

Much bigger deal than unexpected it to be. I figured given the situation, CGY would have to settle for some prospects/picks and maybe a middle six forward in return. Never would have thought a player the calibre of Huberdeau would be involved, even if he basically a rental.

I thought so, too. Then I realized Huberdeau is a FA after next season, making him essentially a one year rental. Unless they can convince him to re-sign. I guess he at least gives them one more shot at playoff run?

That's a much better return than I expected them to get given the way Tkachuk cut their legs out from under them. Tkachuk is a couple years younger, but I don't see him as being an upgrade over Huberdeau. Plus CGY gets a solid blue-liner, a prospect and a 1st. I'm assuming Weegar was thrown in to cut some salary and the 1st likely ends up a late pick, but I don't see how this deal makes FLA much better. I'd be thrilled with that deal if I'm a Flames fan. *EDIT - Well, Huberdeau is a FA after next season, so he's essentially a rental. I guess he gives them a shot at one more run this season.

Dumpy arena, ***** weather and taxes?
