  1. JJ with a hat trick after two periods tonight. Amerks still down 5-4.
  2. Didn’t have the context. Much appreciated and I agree entirely.
  3. Slight correction: Dahlin is still 21 and won’t be 22 for a couple weeks.
  4. I like Anderson, but I just can’t agree that his brutal overtime performance doesn’t cloud the rest of his game last night. Not only does it cloud it, the overtime whiff completely erases it. It was a terrible display of goaltending that underscored once again our ineptitude at the position.
  5. Chris Drury: The Intangible.
  6. I’ve watched a ton of their games and despite his defense being thinned by call ups and injuries during the course of the season resulting in numerous shots and scoring chances against him, UPL has crapped the bed in his own right much of the time. Good goalies need to make the big, difficult save with regularity and imo UPL is not up to the task. He just may not be a very good goalie.
  7. Lehner-like indeed. It was as though Anderson channeled him.
  8. No Bryson, but they assigned Samuelsson, Fitz, and Krebs to the Amerks last week so they’d be eligible for an AHL playoff run.
  9. True. And again, unfortunately.
  10. Unfortunately, that’s a reality for much of isolated, small town America. Years ago, I had to give a lift to a contractor from the Olean area and he was literally afraid of black people as we drove down Fillmore Ave. in Buffalo. Every stop light was an adventure. The old axiom of fearing what we don’t know or understand was never on better display. Pitiful.
  11. Eichel saw the exit of three HCs in his six seasons here. I’m not convinced he would have been happy under Granato, either. There are player’s coaches and there are coach’s players.
  12. That was great. Dahlin’s priorities on full display when he immediately leaves the goal celebration to take care of a much more pressing matter in defense of a teammate. Love it.
  13. We’ve knocked on the door twice without one, so yeah. Came close with a trio of them as well.
  14. Per the bold and if what Gionta and others have said is true of their own dynamic with Eichel, then there was no Eichel/Okposo dynamic at all.
  15. Interesting question. As a player, I think Dahlin would have made the same strides, regardless. As a leader, I think he and others on the team would have been stunted had Eichel remained.
  16. Not me. Not at all. After witnessing the crap goaltending we’ve seen all year, if a goalie can’t hack it in this league, screw em.
  17. LMAO! And I thought Tokarski sucked! So glad Mitts made a liar out of me tonight. I didn’t feel at all sorry for Jake McCabe, either.
