Hayden. Or javelins from the stands.

It's been over since Christmas.

We've been reading your posts about the Pegulas for ten years now. We know what propaganda is. 😉

Another moment of total silence from the Eichel era (Sabres win 10 in a row):

I'm aware. I don't want any chances of them slipping into that top 10 OR winning the lottery.

No, I want the draft pick this year, not next. Yes. That's illegal even in boxing FFS.

I'm glad that turned out to be BS. Hamilton was crapping on Eichel on the radio yesterday, too, contrasting him with Allen who is just a genuine good guy. I don't know when Hamilton turned heel, but it's evident that he is not the same reporter that he was ten years ago. Eichel spent a LOT of time at Roswell. Not just a drop-in for publicity purposes; he was engaged and involved. There was a big story in TBN on Thursday about it; apparently he kept visiting while injured and right up until he left for Nevada. @LouBrawls He wasn't a leader on the team. And he got cranky toward the end, but I think that's natural in this situation. He's still a decent human being. He still looks like Beavis.

Every 80 old is the same and we should expect them to do the same things.

The vacancy occurred during the Housley-Botterill era, and if you want me to believe that Pegula chooses captains, then show me some hard evidence of that.

I didn't say he was petty or childish. But the Beavis resemblance is undeniable.

I will say that he is looking and sounding more like Beavis every day.

It isn't true. It's hyperbole. That crowd went crazy over the Kane Hail Mary, for example, and I'm sure Eichel remembers it. He just was frustrated last night.

Good summary of the whole situation right here. Not lying, just hyperbolic. It's been quiet since COVID. He's heard louder crowds in there--much louder--and we all know it. Doesn't matter, as you say.

You're right. There are two scapegoats. Botterill and Housley. Because if they had just made O'Reilly captain, we wouldn't have had four more years of this stuff. As for Eichel's comments, he's clearly pissed that he lost, which is a good quality in a pro athlete. I don't know whether he was treated poorly by the crowd, but if he was, shame on the crowd. It's not his fault that the parade of GMs and coaches couldn't do a thing right during his seven year time here. I would have wanted out, too. The clap back at the crowd was stupid and petulant and came off as such, but he'll get over it.

Nice win, from what I couldn't see. But I will go to sleep happy.

You're missing one that I had mentioned above.

This was a good trade. What Adams used the draft pick on last summer might not be great, but looking at the trade itself, it was well done.

IIHF requires it and even has a transliteration guide: https://web.archive.org/web/20160404142753/http://www.iihf.com/fileadmin/user_upload/PDF/TranscriptionRUS.pdf They use Cyrillic in the KHL.

Can't wear dresses on the ice; it interferes with the skating.

Right on. Denver screwed this one up. If they get to a Super Bowl with Wilson, remind me of this post.

No, but today is the appropriate day to complain about it.

ESPN+ for this game? Really? That's just dirty.

Yes, you do, in just about every European language besides English.

Throw J-J in there, too.

Bailey, Hurley, Compher is one draft that I remember, and the two Russians last year whose names I'll never have to learn.
