Doohickie

I dunno, was that really a penalty if he gets boarded into another player? He got playered?

Entertaining game.

Two differences: 1. I didn't get any new information, at least not in the first four minutes. No new analysis, no new insight. 2. Here I can scan through posts quickly. If I'm listening to audio, I can't skim through and just look for the interesting nuggets. It's why I'm not really into podcasts. If it's something I'm interested in, it loses my attention. I get to the end and realize that even if there was good stuff buried in there I missed it because I wasn't giving it my full attention.

Mammoth Woes! Wait till he scores the game winning goal in the 13th round of the shootout.

About 36 cm.

Doesn't matter, all hear is

Sorry, I don't like talk radio, podcasts, etc. 90% of all of them are incoherent rambling by people who like to hear themselves talk.

I don't think we've seen everything we will out of him yet. So far I see him as glue to hold the unit together, and to clean up messes left by Power (and also to mentor Power). I don't see him do much, but that also includes I don't see him making any defensive mistakes. But Dunleavy keeps talking about how good his shot is. I get the impression that while he learns Lindy's system and his teammates, he's not pushing the offense; he seems to be concentrating on D most of the time. But I think as he settles in he'll try more shots on goal.

That is spot on.

It's not so much about changing minds; it's more about encouraging like-minded people to actually vote. (Taro notwithstanding)

Last year when the Sabres were better at playing OT, they did that to other teams frequently and kept the other teams' players out there for just as long. After thirty to sixty seconds, you're gassed and blocking lanes, just playing to prevent a game ending shot. If you say you've never seen it before, you're not watching NHL hockey.

I listened to 4 minutes of that drek. Did he ever say anything useful?

I don't exactly hate that. But why do we even have Geersten? I'd suggest suggesting more realistic suggestions. This is, after all, the internet.

Not until they free up a roster spot. They may roll three lines against Utah with Rosén and Quinn rotating into the top line.

"some roster stuff we definitely have to talk about." Hey Kevyn: WHY DO WE HAVE THREE GOALIES?

More information about NFL jersey numbers and having to report as "eligible".

That's the way OTs work. If one team gets the puck and can control it for, say, 30-40 seconds, the other team gets gassed and drops into a passive shell.

Good for him. I wish him well but don't want him back.

That's why you hear about linemen reporting eligible in goal line offenses. If they are an offensive lineman, they are not allowed to catch a pass. But if they report eligible, they can catch a pass (and more importantly for most of these plays, they can line up as a receiver or tight end and it's not an illegal formation).

I asked my friends who has reffed amateur sports. He said there's some discretion there. The ball hitting a player isn't automatically an illegal touch and since the lineman had his back to Mahommes it wasn't considered an illegal touch. Illegal touch. A lineman is not allowed to catch the ball.

His best game as a BIll. Noticeable for all the right reasons.

Yep. One of two blunders that McDermott made (in my opinion). The other was the overly conservative play on the last set of downs. If they'd made a first down they would have had to attempt the field goal and KC never gets a last crack at tying it. Fortunately the defensive secondary held firm at the end and the Bills got the win.

Yeah, I feel ya. I mean, I want him in there over Bryson or Johnson or any other -son in the depth pool, but I see a guy who doesn't make mistakes but also doesn't make impactful plays. That might simply be him learning the system and as he gets used to the flow, the impactful plays will come. The last couple games were his training camp.

I thought Tage looked better last night. Maybe leave him at center until Norris returns. I don't think Tage is necessarily better at center than wing or vice versa. But I think shifting from one to the other when he's scuffling gives him a boost.

Last night was a player trying to score his 900th goal. That was certainly a draw. A few games back was the Maple Leaves. A lot of the fans were not home fans. But still, yeah, it is good to see a full house. That last nine games, they collected 72.2% of available standings points.
