Will there be a stream of this? I really just want to see that crazy scoreboard in action:

I agree with this in principle, but the News was bleeding itself far before the Athletic came into play. The articles there have been sub-par for about a decade now. Their coverage is spotty and old fashioned, relying heavily on old timers opinion peices. By the time they got around to trying to change that it was too late. The fact that THAT many of their good writers and editors took the voluntary buy out tells you that the culture there was pretty bad. If you want to support the local press I understand where you're coming from, but I stopped my subscription well before the Athletic was a thing. Really, I'm waiting for a "news" version of the Athletic to pop up at this point. Its only a matter of time seeing the success they've had.

I don't think company policy gets to cover who my daughter sees in both of their personal time. Its not a business decision.

Because their daughter is dating a replacement level wide out TE? I don't really see how this reflects on their ownership at all.

She's an adult woman who can date whoever she wants.

ehh, couple years ago they got pretty well crushed by the Chiefs early in the year and everyone was calling them done. Then they won the Superbowl that year. So I'll call them dead when they're in the ground.

I am in no way convinced that what just happened is indicative of how the rest of the season will go, but goddamn that was fun.

Over a season its 8 points different, which is fairly significant.

I feel like we'd know by now for sure. I have a feeling its basically that MSG doesn't really care about about its Sabres coverage and so doesn't bother updating the site.

Sabres have like 2m in cap space right now. I'd be all over it other wise. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/sabres

I'm not going to claim to have any sort of personal experience with the unwritten rules of hockey, but I think its pretty standard that you don't start throwing unless the other guy wants to go. There's always a back and forth of "you wanna go?" then a yeah, they both drop the gloves, and its a fight. If you go up to a guy and says "no" and you drop and throw anyways? You're a dick. Show me some other examples of a guy dropping his gloves and throwing before the other guy agrees, and I'll show you more sucker punches.

I'd say a sucker punch is any time someone throws a punch you aren't expecting. Since Ekblad had already said no to the fight, there's no reason for him to expect Domi to drop his glove and take a shot. ESPECIALLY in a freakin' preseason game.

This is a little weird. The Schedule on MSG's Sabres specific site lists other channels as the TV broadcast... https://www.msgnetworks.com/teams/sabres/schedule/ EDIT: ESPN shows a similar schedule, and they have a slot for TV and Local TV

Haven't tried it yet, I'll report back, haha.

I should break out my PS2 actually, I played more games on that console than any other. In other news, Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming out in like 40 days and I can't wait.

Eichel literally didn't take a stride after the blue line on that goal

I think assuming that Thompson is going to project to being better than Reinhart is giving Tage a bit more credit than he's earned thus far. It could certainly happen but its far from a guarantee.

Yeah, I was about to write up a full post about it, but then I looked at our cap space and its less than the Leafs. womp.

Someone said it on twitter (I think) but its pretty likely that Eichel doesn't get much time tonight, so I'd bet Mittelstadt moves up the ranks a bit and gets some better lines than what's listed here.

Yeah, whether he's worth that is a fair question. I really just like the idea of screwing over the leafs.

There was just a thing in the Around the NHL thread about the Leafs not meeting with him at 8m, I'd say offer him max in that range and see what happens. https://www.tsn.ca/radio/toronto-1050/macarthur-nylander-is-not-going-to-get-8-million-in-a-cap-situation-1.1171774 https://www.tsn.ca/radio/toronto-1050/macarthur-nylander-isn-t-going-to-get-8-million-in-cap-situation-1.1171910 second one seems to work

Can the Sabres still offer sheet Nylander? Because they absolutely should do that. Who cares about pissing off Toronto, they're never going to trade with you anyways. We have a bunch of extra picks over the next few years, so who cares if we lose a few.

Siggy is my favorite guy right now I think. They've been in need of some defensive help for YEARS now, they just don't seem to get it. Maybe they can win the lottery this year?
