This Panarin stuff is just plain disgusting. Either he did it (I have serious doubts) and it's disgusting or it's typical Putin and it's disgusting.

Jay Moran is no Milt Ellis, but I had to go with Ray.

Keeping in mind that I just think it's a good idea and that this is not a campaign for him... Krupp was a solid two-way defenseman who could "see the ice." Had amazing puck sense. Has two Stanley Cups and one Calder Cup. Has had experience and success as a coach. Seems to be no-nonsense and wouldn't take crap from the players. Indeed, would intimidate most players just by standing up. If there's a connection to Krueger, I don't want him anymore. I also don't know if he'd be interested. I'll reach out to him tomorrow.

The player was a defenseman. Here's a BIG hint: He scored a Stanley-Cup winning goal, although (obviously) not for the Sabres.

Second hint: It's not Mike Grier.

The Sabrespace front page ad tonight was for a learn to dribble, pass, and shoot video with Steph Curry. I don't even follow basketball. I love the front page ads. Constant entertainment. And who knows? I might even buy that gun safe some day.

I think I have a good idea for the next coach. First hint: He is a former Sabre.

Borgen should play full-time, preferably with Dahlin. That pairing could last ten years.

I'll confess. It is. I'm a noob.

We don't know what this means.

I have not. I just googled "chick flicks" and put in the first one. I can't imagine watching it.

I don't know. I never watched it myself. Does it involve a cartoon puffin? Ok. Clearly it's time for a break.

Dahlin and Borgen need to become a permanent couple. Seriously. Let them "grow up" together.

Great. So he comes up with unrealistic trade ideas AND has poor taste in eating.

It's a WHAT? I watched Star Wars. What is a Porg? EDIT: I've now googled this, and still have no idea except that it looks like something that wouldn't be tasty if eaten.

@LGR4GMcan you translate please? You speak meme. It looks like a puffin, which means it's not that tasty despite what it might say on your menu in Iceland, and other than that, I have no idea what is going on.

So. How come we can put a rover on Mars, but Texans can't turn on their lights? SPOILER BELOW Because the Mars program is run by scientists and Texas is run by Republicans.

Yes. Finns should learn how to use paragraphs. Also, I hope he gets well.

He was freaking awesome today.

(Silently thanking the heavens that he wrote "beard"....)

I agree with you in principle, but I wonder if they're receiving "a little coaching and tough love" to begin with.

Like you were going to go to class anyway...

Depends on what else you did with your time. If you watched 50 First Dates for the 200th time instead, well, that's on you.

I've gotta go on vacation with you sometime. Or somehow otherwise figure out your headspace, just for an hour or something.

So what was different today? For one thing, the Sabres played the most aggressive two periods of hockey that I've seen so far. They kept the puck in the Jersey zone and they kept firing it on net. That worked. Any other ideas?
