That Aud Smell

Eichel is a notorious slow starter, nah?

Really good post. I liked this especially because I need to feel better after watching most of that absolute clunker last night. Sheesh.

I thought they was made by their parents.

Let tonight be the night that the actual score catches up a bit with the #fancystats 5-2 Sabres! Four goals at ES.

I love the Costello song - have not heard it in a long, long time. LFG, Sabres!!

I go with places like Pew Research, and my own sense things.

Agreed. It's nice when the stats line up with what you're seeing, or what you think you're seeing, anyway. It does surprise me a bit that the quality of shots surrendered is so low -- they just seem scrambly or sloppy at times (maybe just inopportune times).

I'm putting X more toward 1980, is all. I don't place millennials in the 70s, either.

Couldn’t find the RaKru system thread, so I’ll plunk this here:

I think Xers are a bit broader than that.

Trigger is all Gen Z, bruv.

^ Oy. That's an odd one. The thing about "personal reasons" is that it gets used in all kids of situations, so it's hard to read what happened here.

I'm not saying that's strange. Quite the contrary. I infer that he can't get coaching work, like, anywhere. And that he's gone looking for it. That seems weird.

yeah, i reckon that's right. he won the jack adams, so ... that is something, obviously. i think that success was partly a function of lightning in a bottle, partly a function of a different era of hockey. but he seems solid in the leadership and mentoring categories. the fact that he goes wanting for a gig is very strange.

I always liked Ted. I'm not sure he's cut out to be an NHL coach, but I liked him. It definitely fails the smell test that he's not coaching somewhere (i.e., in the AHL, ECHL, Major Juniors).

I like what I see when I watch them, mostly. The defence still seems a bit scrambly at times. But I like them through the neutral zone and in the other team's zone. If they can get just a bit more good fortune, they will put together a 5-game winning streak.

TSN's doing a feature of Ted Nolan. Check out this excerpt re his second stint in Buffalo. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjZf_OgXuD/?igshid=if87d5873102

@deluca67.500 is in sight. Get it!

The CBS crew did a good job of elucidating the fact that the Bills receivers just weren’t getting open. 😔

Gotta get on the front foot here.

This team is fairly snakebitten right now.

Let's Go, Buffalo!

Gimpy? What - a broken fibula?! Psshhh. Also, it seemed clear to me that Brown just was not right. I was with you until you said "guard." Then again, this is such a low 1st rounder (weird!) that a stud guard could be good value. I'm all in on getting a playmaker who slots somewhere in the front 7 on D (or ... the front 6, as the case may be).

I found the SI article about the game, but the photo does not appear there.
