Yup. They play dull and they lose a lot. So happy THEY get that wonderful combo.

As well they should be. 😉 REALLY going to miss Mike Yeo when he gets canned.

Per Brian Duff, 2008 vs TB. 6 unanswered goals in the 3rd for a 7-4 win. Pominville & Roy Hecht w/a pair each & Vanek w/ a hattie.

This isn't a Hallmark Movie. As feel good a story that might be, and it really is one, it AIN'T happening. Sadly.

In their 2nd 10 game losing streak at the time you posted this. And both in just the 1st 1/2 of the season. It's a shame actually, because if they keep this up Yeo won't be back next year. We LIKE Mike Yeo coaching the Phlyers. 😉

Oh, it is. It definitely is. 😉

Been saying that since he was here at the WJCs. He likes to play physical in front of his own net, he just hasn't had the "man strength" to do so yet. He'll get there.

Yes, the Sabres would've had the original PP resume at the time they'd've determined Krebs was offsides. Fortunately, the view from the main camera made it look like Krebs was still on the line when Thompson got around to bringing the puck into the zone because the blue line cam made it look like he was offsides by ~1/2".

Doubt he has the same mean streak, but still, would be nice.

They used to be named after St. Patrick. But Conn Smythe realized a team so full of evil & rottenness should not be named after a Saint. 😉

😄 Actually the Chicago Blackhawks are named after Chief Blackhawk. And we can't forget the Houston Astros being named after a cartoon dog. 😉

Legend has it a significant part of the reason the old AAFL Buffalo team ended up named after Buffalo Bill Cody was because William was such a common name in the WNY area. So, they had that going for the name. Always presumed Wilson went w/ naming his AFL team the Bills was in honor of that AAFL team that should've been brought into the NFL when the Niners joined.

Have relatives that are Swamp Cat STHers, so am OK w/ him doing well there if he can't be here. But ftmp, really don't care how former Sabres do after they move on when they aren't playing against the Sabres. When they do well, good for them, but don't really root for them at that point usually. (There've been a couple of favorites that have moved that that didn't hold true for, and know he was a favorite of yours, so enjoy him doing well.)

Thanks. Didn't know if they'd gone through the expense to identify which strain affected him so severely. Guess not.

Part of 1 of the best top lines in NHL history. RIP Mr. Gilles.

Yep. Huge miscalculation on his part.

And if Reinhart got the LT deal off his ELC both he & Eichel would still be here IMHO. Knowing they both were locked in for 5 more years would've made it a lot harder for either to ask for a trade out of the mess that were the 1st days of the Adams administration. MHO. YMMV.

Would be very interested in seeing them run w/ that but flip Cozens & Thompson and Jokiharju & Pysyk. Hopefully they really do have Mittelstadt back Tuesday.

Do you know if they think he got the delta variant, the omicron variant, or some other?

And was why he'd get paired w/ Dallas Smith. With Smith back there, Orr didn't need to be overly defensively responsible. He could just do his thing & the backside was covered. And why so many of us would like to see Dahlin w/ a defensively responsible partner. Let him concentrate on what he does well & w/ a solid partner, as long as he isn't Karlsson in his own end it'll work. Well, not EXACTLY the same. He was no long sad pouty face Ryan. 😉

So the Sabres drafted Brent Burns? Awesome. 😉

That's a Sabres injury report. 6 weeks minimum. 😉

Edmonton is the poster child for why you need scouts that can look for & identify players beyond the top 10 slots of the draft and what happens when you don't have them.

Prefer the Arrested Development version of it. Awwwwk-ward.

AHL season ends 1 week before NHL season does. There is a very strong likelihood that the Amerks will get a 1st round bye. Pretty sure if they're needed in Ra-cha-cha that last week of the NHL (& Quinn is healthy) they'll be leading the charge across the road from the Dinosaur. Doubt they will be needed that week.
