    Aw lawd.

    Maybe now they get the "new coach spark." Although. I saw Eakins as probably the fourth biggest problem on that team after no defense, no goaltending, and no GM to fix those two.

    I believe it. I'm not in any sort of fervent hockey market here in LA/Anaheim, but nobody here really knows who they are, and I'm constantly explaining to people why I'm ok with the Sabres losing (preferably on the road against teams we don't hate). It's possible that no other franchise fanbase is looking closer and McDavid and Eichel than we are. Maybe Edmonton. Maybe. Most of us on this board knew who McDavid was more than 18 months ago. I think the average Sabres fan probably knew about him by the end of last season. How many everyday sports fans know the kid they want in the draft 16 months beforehand?

    He's taking the easy way. Your median everyday league-wide (not specifically Sabres) casual fan probably doesn't know who who Connor McDavid is (although many fans do), so it's still an incredibly defendable position to rant about how we should win because "it's the right thing to do," blah blah blah. And I don't care. I think to help maintain the professional relationships he has with players and coaches (and maybe GMs), he has to "fight the good fight." Hell, he may even like the idea of tanking, but realizes that he should publicly shill the opposite for the sake of the team in the eyes of the league.

    Imagine for a moment how ###### another team has to be to beat us cleanly out of 30th. They're going to have a whole lot more problems than we will trying to get themselves out of that.

    Hate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgyDMJSb2dc It's not the same franchise without him.

    Ha.

    Reasonable. Ideally, each of these three guys develops into a top-pair-level D on a contending-level or SC-winning team defense corps. That's why we drafted them, and eventually, that's the job we expect of them. That said, even if Zad and Risto develop properly, why even let a well-playing Myers go unless we get into Salary Cap issues? It'd be great to have the depth, if affordable, to prevent such history-changing plights as The Case of the Stinky Leg.

    Still not even mad. The misusage of the image fuels the troll of the text. It's subtly very good, intentional or not. (To which I responded with "Condescending Wonka.")

    Myers played a great game last night. It wasn't flashy, but he did a lot of things right and made a lot of good, simple plays in his own end. These are the sorts of quiet, steady nights you need and expect from a top-two D in one goal games.

    And that's not even how that meme works.

    Population of Lativa: 2.03M. 800k+ votes is really pretty good, even considering multiple votes, etc.

    Speak for yourself, I'm as hard as a rock right now.

    Huh. Jack Adams finalist in '12, Jack Adams in '13. Three year extension in '13. 11-11-5 so far this season. No word on his lookalike. Maybe this season was an abbreviated wait and see on MacLean before they presumably go talk to Bylsma?

    Second line from the article today:

    This ignorance of this statement disgusts me. You only see what you want to see and that's why I have given up on you on this topic. I am not alone.

    The experience of being a Sabres fan wouldn't be the same without RJ. He's been with the team since '71. He's traveled with the team just about that entire time. I recognize athletic ability, but Rick's a Hall of Famer with god-given talent and a franchise-defining career for a very good reason. To me, he's a Sabre. And to me, I favor him at least as much as anyone with their name in the rafters. When I think about watching or listening to a Sabres game, I can't not think about RJ's voice, and that's something I can't say about any other anything.

    Brace yourselves. We're dead last in goals scored per game- 27% fewer goals per game (1.59) than the next lowest team (2.18). We're 25th in goals against per game. Our 5-on-5 GF/GA is worst in the league. Our goal differential is league worst. Our home goal differential is 2nd worst at -9. Our road goal differential is phenomenally bad at-30. Our powerplay percentage is by far the worst in the league at 6%. Next lowest is 11%. We're 3rd in PIM committed per game. We lead the league in major penalties. We're 9th in minor penalties. Our penalty killing percentage is 23rd at 78.1%. We're dead last in shots for per game. We're dead last in shots against per game. We're dead last in winning percentage when the opponent scores first - 6.3%. We're dead last in faceoff percentage at 42.2%, fwiw. We have the most regulation losses in the league.
