This is a losing fan culture defined. If anything remotely similar is happening with the team, that's a losing team culture defined. It's an 82 game season. It's a mistake to think any one game is not winnable. Fans should always be disappointed in losing. Mad, even. Same for the players, times 10. (A playoff series with the Isles right now might be a different story.) The players need to learn the habits of success, one of which is to despise losing. They beat the Islanders last night. They can and should do it again. Period.

Spoken like a true musician.

Tire pumping must be exhausting.

Turns it on in contract year garbage time. Am I doing this right?

The difference in the situations of the respective coaches should be apparent.

Just go out and play in games that mean nothing against opponents who don't take you seriously.

What if there are two Jake Virtanen on the Canucks and Alana Kelly is Marty Biron's nom de plume?

Please.

Are there accusations of churlish slander at family gatherings? "That potato salad does NOT have Miracle Whip in it! Take it back, you churlish slanderer!"

I was thinking more along the lines of a late night infomercial for hernia belts designed for obese men made of space age polymers. Risto has never been asked to carry a franchise to ONE freaking measly playoff berth in a league that passes them out like Big Mac coupons. Nor has he been paid as such. Risto can play the appropriate role, which you nailed — something along the lines of second/third pair guy on a contender. Eichel has to play his role — leader and top center on a playoff team. Still waiting...

So he wanted to fight when it was physically impossible to do so? Do it next time in open ice after someone tries to use a Swiss Army Knife to open your sack of Swedish Fish.

Senator...

Who's out there who's better than Lindy Ruff?

Hello, friends, I'm Will Borgen, professional hockey player. Are you expanding? Do you need protection?

Oh, the tears that await us. Marchand, Edwards, the Cheatriots on ice, the biased officials. Afternoon delight.

You have a circle?

I think it's a mistake to expect problems. Despite stories you hear the data is clear that many people have no to very minor side effects.

Do we lead the league in ITBA? Inability to break away. Last night it was Asplund. Even Jack is usually caught from behind. Odd man breaks are disappointing. Just not a dynamic bunch.

The Sabres as NFT?

I like Marchand more than I like Duff. Insufferable.

Yawning cage!

The Ukko Pekka-Luukkonen Shutout?

Picking up on 11, I have a vague memory of the Sabres going to core players and asking them if they wanted to suffer along with the rest of us. That might have been Vanek only. Perfectly stated. Very good job.

You're, uh, fracking the wrong villain/s.
