Eleven

Not a bad trade.

Thorny, if you keep running out of the shower to jot down every thought, you're never going to get clean.

Also, since when did 3-on-3 become the thing for the OT in the final? Horrible...

These announcers need to cool it on the penalty stuff. That's not a major in any hockey league in the world. And it's not even a minor in the NHL.

The ones we apparently eat at Carolina games?

Omigosh am I that old already?

It borders on the Adriatic. Its land is mostly mountainous, and its chief export is chrome.

Hol' up: There's a guy named not only Brad, but also Lambert, and he's Finnish?

I have no way of watching the Amerks and so no way of watching Quinn last year. I don’t have expectations but am eager to see what he does.

Exactly. The Sabres are in a perfect position to buy a draft pick.

You're not supposed to take the plasma *orally*, Carey...

I love Buffalo, but come on. Montreal for a 27 year old hockey player?! On his last year?

Monahan saying no is a different issue though. He better have.

A center making $6.5M with one year remaining, and a first-round pick, for what appears to be future considerations? I'm rather upset that the Sabres were not in on that deal.

I'd say he was top ten. Was. But that's only the 70th percentile. He's paid like he's one of the best ever. Who knows what he'll be with the Browns in 2023? I don't think he'll be top ten. I just spent my first WGR-free summer since about forever ago and kind of enjoyed listening to audio books in the car instead of sports talk. This will revert back to WGR in about two weeks, though.

Am I the only one who thinks that DeShaun Watson just isn't *that* good to begin with?

They've moved captains at the deadline before. It won't matter.

Not sure if this is @ me, but I did watch the first season. Great atmosphere and great cast, but it moved too slowly for me. Lots of streaming services' "signature series" are doing that lately, too (but I think BCS was AMC or something).

He's winding up to punch a Dolphin in the faaaaaaace

It is going to be fun to watch the kids come together (or not) this year. Comrie is a good-faith attempt at fixing the situation in net, at least, and Lyu -- I just can't -- is a nice little addition. I can't argue with the method of this rebuild. Maybe things don't work out, guys get hurt or don't jell or don't develop or whatever, but I'm ok with the method.

Jochen Hecht with leadership skills. He'll wear the C for the year. (Lest anyone think I'm damning Okposo with this: I liked Hecht and thought he was an important, but overpaid, part of the teams he was in.)

Same. I'm in this solely to root for the US.

The Czechs scare me.

This is what I remember (from a civilian perspective), too.
