Light your fists on fire and you're ready to go.

Need any extra help? I know a one year old who absolutely loves destroying things. And my home improvement project of the day is the fence that's currently being installed. Am I doing it myself? Hell no.

I think that’s definitely where pro sports are headed in the US at least, where attendance doesn’t really matter all that much. And as for the tv deals, I’m assuming additional teams up there doesn’t change that much or else they’d have done it by now. And with that almighty tv dollar, we’re definitely headed into the great unknown with everything switching to streaming.

If they actually did it, they are clearly only interested in immediate cash from the expansion fee. I would hope the union would fight it, but I forget if they were at all successful in getting a piece of those fees.

I’m too lazy to dig into it but they don’t necessarily have to win it to get in. They may climb enough just making it into the finals, but it depends on a lot of things. But then there’s the annual doomsday scenario where a lower team wins their conference and then only the top 14 in the PWR get in (there’s one garbage conference with an auto-bid, so it’s the top 15 that get in).

Yes he will. The rankings they use to seed the tournament are very public. If they lose early, they’ll know exactly where they sit and if it’s possible to move up at all depending on other games. As of today they are two spots back from getting in.

Atlanta failed twice already. Anyone who even considers giving them a team needs to be shot out of a cannon.

Just imagine if you were living off in the woods for years and just today discovered someone like Harrison Ford. So many movies and the guy looks like he’s aged 40 years over the last couple weeks. It’s crazy.

We’ve just named 3 roles that cover 9 years. I bet he found some time in there for sleep.

But 4 is supposed to equal 5.

This new found hatred for the refs from Ray is pretty funny. That was always the only thing of value he added to a broadcast, his random one liners. Originally it was all of the old guy comments at RJ/Neale, then it was jabs at Marty or the Peters/Rivet show. Now it’s ref day hate.

But he was hungry. You should try skipping a few meals while gathering around the trade table.

They have 4 games left after the frozen four final. I wonder if they'd actually place him in the lineup if they're still fighting for a playoff spot at that point.

But do you spread out the player styles a bit? I can't picture the two physical guys in Bush and Stillman being paired up.

If mom has one of those ugly half and half jerseys, Calgary on the left and Arizona on the right... Does she have to switch the sides now, Arizona/left, Calgary/right?

Capfriendly has added a logo now for the three signed draftees (Savoie/Östlund/Nadeau) that marks them as exempt from the 50 contract roster limit. That's a nice addition. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/sabres

And Levi, of course. I think we talked about this before though. Capfriendly has them at 44 contracts, so you're number probably includes the signed guys in juniors like Savoie. I believe Bloom was one of them previously, so there's one less of those guys who could impact the roster count with late call up.

First round pick just like Gaustad, right?

Maybe... except for a certain 3-headed monster.

I'd say they have a pretty clear goal to add some physical play. I can't complain about that.

You don't see that often from these sources.

Neutral site conference final.😁

Of course it's not. You just need to take care of yourself and build how you think is best. There's an unending list of what ifs, but you can't control what those other teams do. Just go out and do what you think is best for your own team.

The filler stuff in the TSN broadcast is pretty painful. Did they really need to simulate an entire draft lottery broadcast?

They need to continue to build in order for that to happen. The thought is that it's better to build for that over the summer than it is right now.
