I heard someone on WGR radio this past week state the Sabres were something like 37 points out of a playoff spot at this point last year. But why keep things in perspective ? Goalie and D issues still present and yet here we are. It was a joke about the thread title. Anyway great win marred by the atrocity of fighting in the NHL. Hope Buffalo saved some prayers for Riley.

Believer Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) What a tool Harrington is criticizing Kids Day, the young performers, and the Sabres for promoting it… Even after being shamed for his Twitter post and deleting it like a convictionless coward… He couldn’t resist adding a shot with a qualifier in his last paragraph of today’s BN… Tool… If he were a player, Cooper would bench him for a few games, my bet.

I think you guys just have an axe to grind regarding Harrington. I didn’t take that as criticism at all. It was the same kind of silly joke I would have made. In fact, I chuckled and shared it with my wife when I read the tweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mule looked a helluvalot more like himself as well, and that may have been Lyubushkin’s best game. Glad to see he’s shaken off whatever was plaguing him in the first half. ***** Tampa. The tide is turning. You are forgetting the “Lyubushkin game “ the last time vs Tampa. yes he was good yesterday as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree here , he was trying to be funny and it backfired on him. As we all know, it’s easy to misconstrue someone intent on Twitter and message boards That being said - the kid doing the announcements sure was fired up!

How did it not work? Tampa is solidly in the playoffs. When the season is over, they may have to play up to 2 months more of hockey. Why would you play your top line in the third, down by 3, in a game you don’t even need, when you play again tomorrow against a top team? It was smart coaching. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the kid, a professional hockey journalist making that joke about a 10-year-old to thousands on social media is going to feel considerably different than Dad making that joke to Uncle Brian at the church picnic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine what the kids could find if they looked around the various comment sections on various social media. It's something the team and parents should have considered and probably did. I enjoyed the PA kid. I wouldn't want that style for real but damn we need a step up from the mortuary assistant we have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
