The 8-9 minute clips are posted on YouTube by the NHL and a slightly different version by SportsNet, usually within an hour or two of the end of the game. I just watch those most of the time.

Not sure, both times I've watched that guy he's been wearing Sabres gear.

I think the 24 shots in the first two periods is a positive. You're just succumbing to recency bias on the 24 shots in the third coloring your judgement. (this is meant entirely as a joke).

Realistically, with even basic investing and a middle-class lifestyle he doesn't even need a next chapter past "do whatever I want".

In case anyone is wondering, the Sabres are NOT scrambling about the cap right now due to the Ben Bishop trade. If the numbers were a little different the team may have ended up in a place where they had to keep Bjork up and send down one of the ELC players otherwise.

David Ayers was the Leafs Zamboni driver that was called in to play for the Canes in Toronto, and won the game. I suppose he's technically played a professional game, if they bring him in would it count against the roster limit? I'm not sure about amateur, it is way more Icarus-like to me.

I mean, it's a sushi bar so some sake may have been involved lol. People in general are surprisingly not good at keeping their mouths shut.

I'm no pro athlete, but holy cow did the first year or two of crappy sleep and tons more responsibility throw me for a loop when my daughter was born. Still is, for that matter.

A song people know so it's not too out there (queued up to 0:43) (I think I suggested this years ago before Let me clear my throat) If I were picking something more off the beaten track...

Let's get to "Erik the Victorious" first.

I suspect you're right, but I don't have the knowledge to go find out if its true.

Can't complain, he has done plenty so far to earn it.

Being a grid, it wouldn't even be hard to use Morse Code to specify a particular move.

Marvin, What? 😉

I get where you're at, but at the same time naming newcomers to the Sabres as Captain is also a tradition that hasn't gone well. Two of the players wearing letters aren't likely to be playing for team in five years. There's time for Tuch.

The Coyotes can barely skate in the NHL, never mind run.

The OED defines it as: average isn't necessarily bad.

I'd think braising, and something with a lot of spice.

Yeah, it gets him (I assume) to UFA at 27, that's worth a few-100k as long as there isn't an injury, and even if there is they guy is still set for life if he's smart.

That makes that Tage contract look fairly good, yeah? Centers are usually more costly even with fewer goals.

Statistics are weird (and it's been a long time since I took that class). When I worked for a large cereal concern, 30 samples were enough to predict within a small enough margin that the other 1000s of boxes were correct. The NHL is far more variable than that. 🙂

I think the point here is he feels he's earned a bigger payday already, and the NHL GMs as a whole would probably agree. Someone would offer a fairly large contract to him with term. Robertson could take a team-friendly deal now even with a handshake deal to get paid later, but all it takes is one ugly hit and that money may evaporate.
