If everyone’s healthy (I missed yesterday’s game, so I don’t know), they don’t need to call up anyone. One game, you’re through Clifton’s suspension and you’re back to a reserve at F and D.

And when they win the next on, they’ll be on ice for 72. It’s an awfully volatile point to be caring too much about point projections, don’t you think?

They’re treading water at this point. One up, one down, … Things are going to break at some point, one way or the other. That’s when we’ll know what kind of team we actually have here.

Full speed was the whole point of the post though. Penalty? Yes. Suspension? We’ll see.

I’d like to see it at full speed again. It happened pretty quickly and intent might be a tough sell. That doesn’t matter for the penalty but it does if/when the league gives Clifton a call.

I apologize for injecting a little science into the discussion, but did you know that the combined wingspan of that line can circle the globe twice?

Randy Wood. I’ll leave la low hanging fruit to someone else.

Amazon showing a fan in the crowd with the name plate “a motherf***er” on his jersey. They didn’t scout that one ahead of time.

If it’s the same tire over and over, the answer is still 1.

And an overly emotional response from Tkachuk last night got him removed from the game. You can get inside his head.

Complaint Thursday

Give Greenway a ton of credit on that one too. I’m really liking that trade so far.

Tarasenko is hilarious. He was more interested in fighting the linesman there than Cozens.

Except it wasn’t a joke.

Are they the same exact team as last year, sucking at home?

This is a very long term project, but he needs a night off.

They are so deep inside Dube’s head on the faceoffs.

Did I do this right?

Group texts... particularly the ones that you can't mute/ignore because you actually need information that can be found in 10% of the messages.

He's not on the team. They probably should have used a different picture.

I was talking specifically about the bottom one, which was something I actually suggested at the end of the preseason. And I do think that winds up happening eventually when injuries start to pop up. He’s going to get a good amount of ice time with the Sabres in short term call up. This is, of course, assuming he plays well and thrives in Rochester. I do think that happens.

In response to that Twitter post, waivers may not be the issue, but carry 3 goalies is. There’s no open roster slot currently for anyone to be shuttling back and forth to o Rochester.

Seriously though, some teams do it better than others. So each team has a different process.

Would decentralizing hurt the ability to have that personalized jersey ready to go for the player? Some teams are already bad at that, but the jerseys are one thing that is so specific to hockey and the draft. I don't want to see that change. Otherwise, I guess I don't really care all that much about the tables full of front office guys all out there on the floor.
