What they heard was “You’re all safe, you won’t be benched, your country club memberships are still active”

“A really good first 18 seconds, Dan” — Rob Ray

Three games in a row w an awful early goalie pull

lol I actually remember. Idk what Lindy is thinking on that. Not a fan of the early goalie pull, especially with this group.

If we were just as good as Rob Ray says we are, we would be in business

What are the odds that Rob Ray says we played a good game tonight

It’s sad af that when your team scores early and you still know you’re losing the game almost guaranteed.

It’s the same as the other night

We will score w 25 seconds left like the other night when it’s too late

As soon as the Sabres scored in the first I was going to predict 4-1 caps

Where is the Peterka shooting we were getting used to

This is something they do very frequently it’s wild

Thank you. Honestly it is ego and I do need these victory laps here and there. I’ll limit though for sure.

That was predictable

Hahaha. Some of you are wound SO TIGHT. Yeah it’s a forum, relax have a beer.

It was actually a comparison that was brought up routinely. And you’re right—I’m sorry Mrs Adams. Give Kevin a kiss goodnight for me later after his boys grab the W

Remember when Tage was the next Mario Lemuix and Kevin Adams didn’t remind me of a giant, overgrown baby every time I see his face? We don’t often appreciate the good times when we’re in them…

Yeah I thought he got hooked but no, just fanned on it

Tage got hooked there

Benson isn’t allowed to generate a penalty against our opponent until his mustache fills in. So in 2027 hopefully

Greta points yeah. God I miss those guys

Nice yeah I definitely remember that we were basically on the forefront of the new NHL post lockout and took advantage of the new rules. But then kind of got bogged down in the playoffs. At least I think 06-07 run when they allowed more clutching and grabbing again. Unless I’m misremembering.

They must all play call of duty or something

Can anyone with a better memory detail a bit for me what the difference between the team we’ve been trying to build over the last five years or so versus the team that was built going into the lockout year and then after in 2005 - 2006? Why was that team different? What were the differences in approach? I have a few ideas, but I’m curious if anybody has really thought it through. I just absolutely loved the blend of youth, veteran leadership, grit, speed goaltending, and balance that those teams had. I can literally remember every single guy on an individual basis. I have the panoramic picture plaques of the whole team standing together for both of those years. Why did the rebuild from the Hasek teams work then versus what has failed so miserably now?

I genuinely wonder if they will ever get past taking at least 3 to 4 dumb totally unnecessary penalties every game
