This is flat out false. Butterfly goalies have long term knee, back and hip problems from dropping down and popping up.... pushing side to side on one knee, etc... Stand-up is much easier on the lower body.
-
guess which two are mine haha
-
yes, my older boy is wearing his Eichel jersey underneath
-
getting ready...
-
wife and kids on the left

They play for a local club team and we know some people. A couple years ago when my older boy played for the Jr Kings, he got to skate the flag around the ice before a playoff game and high five the players as they came out... https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/upTzp4VTPTHQlIpqQsZ8M8JgLpOcZQmG7WZFhVb7BHx?v=grid&ref_=cd_ph_share_link_copy https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/hnbEK4neJLJ2NXBCmtTeO89vuUoYMRGI7yNZFicbKC9?v=grid&ref_=cd_ph_share_link_copy ...the Kings always put on a good show, they sent him a personalized DVD. They're really trying to grow the sport our here by getting kids involved in game activities.

Both my kids will be on the ice for the anthem tonight. They're gonna ask if they can stand with the Sabres players.
-
Finally!! THis was overdue by about 4 seasons....but does he even break into the Caps lineup at any point? 3rd rounder (likely very late) is excellent return.
-
...and add a healthy Lehner for a full season, and Ennis possibly back to being Ennis.... should be much improved. Moulson tho.
-
..the tertiary (and quarternary) players on championship teams are not necessarily young or cheap. Those are spots you can normally fill through FA or trade once you have your top six filled out with your elite core.
-
yes, but it's much more lengthy process and involves plenty of luck...
-
I hope BUF doesn't end up with Matthews. He's going to be a very good player, but IMO will fall well short of expectations, especially come playoff time. I'd rather have Reinhart in the stable for a Cup run... he has the intangibles.
-
I see your point, however losing ROR for a month is not a minor absence. BUF doesn't have enough elite talent to make up for it. It's not an intentional "tank" in the traditional sense, but w/o ROR I don't see how they finish out of the bottom 3.... call it a tank or not, it is what it is.
-
Depends what your definition of "tank" is.

Ryan O'Reilly lower-body injury; could be out "several weeks"
pi2000 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
Gonna be a tough few weeks. I don't want them to tank again, but this is a huge loss. Wonder if this changes anything for trade deadline... prolly not. -
i'd question the hooking call on Zemgus, and I didn't think that was a major on Hartnell.... i'm OK with the other calls.
-
you lost me at "Craig Button"
-
what a snipe by Legwand, can't trade him now
-
current 3rd?
-
None of those former core guys are all-stars. Expecting them to carry any team on a successful playoff run is just wrong. They're potentially nice complimentary pieces in the right situation, but not difference makers.
-
He takes very long shifts as well. Always the last guy off.
-
Seen this happen so many times in beer league, will never take the cage off again. Had a good friend I played college with lose an eye in beer league... nasty nasty injury, permanently blind in one eye now, can't drive at night, has a family and whatnot.... not worth the risk, beer league just doesn't pay enough and the trainers are usually the zamboni drivers. Seriously tho, cocaine will numb any part of your mouth it comes in contact with. Great for broken noses, or unbroken noses, just ask Evander "Co" Kane :)

Justin Bailey texted/called/recalled/homing pigeoned/DMd by the Sabres
pi2000 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
putting him on the 4th line looked like a tank move IMO. He's clearly out skating and out chancing Moulson. -

after the trade deadline IMO (if he's still on the team) -
Nice play by Grigorenko, steals the puck, leads the rush and makes a slick pass to Iginla for the go ahead goal late in the 3rd. https://www.nhl.com/video/iginlas-late-goal-gives-avs-lead/t-277996314/c-41508703
