Helenius with the OT winner on the PP. 4-3 final and Leinonen was great.

Leinonen has made some amazing saves including one a moment ago to stop a shorthanded breakaway in Cleveland. He looks very good tonight. EDIT: just made a couple more. Amerks look a little tired this period. Like they played last night and had a bus ride today.

His contract is less money for them, regardless. Rip the bandaid and cut him. There is ZERO upside in keeping him. He is a fully cooked, mediocre goalie at best. At best.

Right. So just waive him and bite his AAV. He is never gonna be the workhorse, 55 game starter in this league. He’s a backup 25 game goalie at best. At best. Let him get a fresh start somewhere else.

20 games two years ago. That’s the extent of his experience as a competent NHL goalie. The rest of his pro career, including the AHL, is less than mediocre. If KA thinks teams are gonna line up for that and insists on waiting for the “right” deal, good luck. But in the meantime he shouldn’t be playing and that’s just a worst situation all the way around.

Perhaps, but he’s an Ellis-blocking anchor in the meantime. With his career numbers, what do you project we get in a trade? Imo, it’s little at best. He needs to be jettisoned.

Just waive UPL already. We aren’t getting anything worthwhile for him anyway. Just eat the 4.75m AAV.

1-1 after 1 in Cleveland.

Sometimes you get the elevator …

UPL blows chunks!

I don’t trust Oopie at all in a 3x3 or a shootout. Gotta win now.

I demand an overtime win … right the phuck now!

1 zip Amerks in the first Wahlberg on the PP.

Joshua wishes he could play the Sabres every night.

Damn right!

I demand a PP goal … right the phuck now!

Kozak is a legit NHL 4th line C. Has all the attributes one needs for that role. He ain’t going back to the A unless it’s for a conditioning stint when he comes off IR.

McCloud with an early brain fart.

Sucks for Kozak who brings exactly what you need in a 4th line C. Would rather have seen Helenius brought up as he brings those same qualities, imo. Instead, we get a slow skater. Will Lindy move Krebs back to center on the 4th line now? EDiT: check that as I forgot Dunne is also a center and we can keep Krebs at the wing where he belongs.

Now you’re just being anti-semantic. You are an anti-semantite.

I remember all too well, unfortunately. But Yankee starters aren’t on the same planet as the Dodger starters.

I had hope, but didn’t give the Jays much of a chance, either. My main reason was starting pitching and what team could chase the other’s starter to get to the weak bullpens both teams have. I was shocked at how they chased Snell last night. If they can do the same to Yamamoto, then all bets are off and the Jays should be favored.

I re-read my post and it wasn’t clear at all. I meant to say that I don’t recall too many times in the season where they had lulls. Absolutely there were big moments all season. Best offensive team in baseball.

That’s funny because I started looking for alternatives yesterday and found OnHockey as well. I doubt I’ll watch too much anyway. Thanks for offer just the same. Much appreciated.

True, they’ve had some big moments. I just don’t recall them having many in the regular season. Seemed like every time I watched them, they were constantly getting guys on base and putting balls in play. But man, that 6th inning was amazing.
