So you don't think players who play 10+ years in the NHL and a bunch of years in juniors and high school get checked 20K times? How many times does a player get checked in a single game? Multiply that times the number of games they have played in their high school, junior, tournaments, college, AHL, NHL career.

I'm talking from your childhood thru your NHL career. That number might be low for some of them.

What is with this team scoring with 3 minutes or less left in both periods and then letting the Oilers score with a minute or less left both times? C'mon guys...no excuse for that. Especially not twice.

So you think these kids playing pickup hockey in their backyards with their friends aren't checking each other? You never played sports much growing up did you?

That's what I am saying to you actually...suggest you do more reading and less judging. The greatest cause of CTE are from the accumulation of subconcussive impacts over time. What do you think caused more subconcussive impacts...100 fights or 20000+ body checks from your head hitting the glass or rattling around in your helmet from the time he was a kid? There is a reason why CTE has a high prevalence in bobsledder too...last time I checked they were not getting in tooany fist fights.

Fighting isn't why that happened. The micro concussions they suffer far more frequently from the time they are little kids playing are why it happens.

Not as easy as shorting $BTC and $ETH right now.

Automatic L...this team is our Kryptonite and the games are really even close.

This is where those 3 unacceptable losses to Columbus and Anaheim twice killed us...we have no margin for error anymore.

And the defense has developed along with him allowing the 6th fewest shots in the NHL per game and one of best teams and not giving the puck away in their own end to boot. There are entire periods where the other team doesn't even have a good shot on goal now, which were happening multiple times a period much of the beginning part of the season and last year. They are growing by leaps and bounds defensively this year. If that can carryover and they can put both pieces together next year this team could be very dangerous.

UPL! UPL! UPL!

Gotten a little sloppy but the Isles aren't getting many good chances either. Still only have 16 shots total, 4 in the 3rd

The more people you know, the softer the landing spot usually is. No matter how technology is involved, it's still mostly about people at thee and of the day.

I'm guessing his recovery is taking longer than expected then.

They said 6-8 weeks. Think he is still a few weeks away from 8 weeks isn't he? Yup I just checked...8 weeks from Jan 29th is March 25th, so still around 2 weeks. I doubt they keep him out...for what reason?

It's also true.

Dahlin wasn't either his first few years but has really started to embrace that area of his game as he has grown into his body more

The dude is 20 years old. My God what the hell has happened to the IQ level of posters.

Power is pretty good at that also...would be fitting if he got the winner

But...but...but ..I was told the Sabres never hit anyone by posters on this very forum?!?!

Yeah teachers in Southern states would be better off financially flipping burgers a lot of times. It's a joke. Lots of teachers in NYS make more than 100K a year.

Sure I do...you talk a bunch of drivel and then disappear for a few months. Rinse and repeat. Just extrapolating your posting style with everything else.

He doesn't need to tell you to take it easy or take shifts off because you probably do plenty of that of your own accord.

Don't like it on its surface but not going to get up in arms about a player I have never really seen play either. Let's see what happens.

You'll be the first one singing his praises when they make the playoffs next year or the year after
