Speaking of volleyball, was anyone else the crazy fool who would dive for the volleyball in high school gym class?

Master of the obvious right there.😁 -Why is something a rule? -Because it’s a rule.

Ahhh crap, I knew it was coming soon. But hey, he was still 19 when Dahlin was out and he was up near 30 minutes.

Why don’t the blocks at the net count as one of the three times you can hit the ball?

A 19 year old defenseman who is eating up minutes and looks like he’ll be a guy who can be out there 30 minutes when needed and they blew the draft? Teenagers and the verdict is already in. 🙄

That was the one piece I was wondering about, the third point of contact when his knee was down on the sideline. But whatever, they’re never going to be able to piece together a catch rule that makes sense and people like.

It never hit the ground though, right? Just shifted in his arms. The only clips I can find are pretty crappy.

https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/sabres I wonder if they have a few signed in major junior that one site is counting and the other isn’t. edit: Savoie, Östlund, Bloom, Nadeau? And I love that autocorrect fixed Östlund’s name because I have no clue how to type that.

What are a b and c?

That’s not how it works. He has to sign a new deal. But anyway, they’re not going to give a contract to a 5th goalie unless it’s the doomsday scenario we’ve seen the last two years. Even with only 43 contracts right now, it’s not worth it to have less flexibility for any later moves this year. The only new goalie contracts are earmarked for Levi/Portillo in the spring.

I was going to say that seeing a trio of rookies in a row there is nice. Apparently Rousek isn’t one though, but he may as well be. Houser does not have an nhl contract

I think someone should try to convince her that he's trying to sign in Swaziland.

Even better. Last year when he was sent to the minors, he went from Seattle to Charlotte.

Not even 2 points a game? Slacker.

It figures that this is what happens when the game is aired on a station I don't have.

It's funny, but the only thing I remember about Fitzpatrick at this point is that a year or two after he left, we were supposed to vote for him. And apparently he's now an elected official, so "vote for Rory" worked twice.

Stop feeding it.

Some call it fandom. Others call it masochism.

Be careful, old man PA might thumbs down your post for pointing out chronic complainers.

Ummm.... did you read the D pairings there? I'd think most would be pretty happy with them.

Yeah, but I’d imagine other divisions have popped up from time to time. The NFC east always seems to pop up from time to time. But then again, every team in a division making the playoffs was only possible for the first time just last year, right?

You’re officially dead to me. 🤮 They played a completely different school. This post reminds me of that time that Chris Weber called a timeout he didn’t have, handing the national championship to Duke. And I’m even more sick now after making a bouncyball analogy.

That takes care of itself every single season. They still have to play each other a handful of times.

Updating the standings on the broadcast was an odd move.

How is it that we keep getting new people who sign up just to whine? I’ll never understand the mentality of “this team sucks… hey, why don’t I sign up to one of their message boards and complain about it”. Go out and grab a beer. Spend some time outside (ok, maybe not right now). There are much better ways to spend your time, things you can actually control.
