Holy Nelson needs concussion protocol

Yowza !

Skinny !

Look. I'm trying to raise my vibration. So lay off the negative comments tonight. WE CAN DO IT ! GO SABRES !

Yeah I haven't seen it in a while but hockey noses are a thing. I see one every time I watch a player interview or look in the mirror,lol. And I'm not what I'd consider a fighter. Mine was mostly from bad luck in the faceoff dot when my opponent tried to lift my stick and ended up smashing my nose instead. A few years ago I was sucker punched and it straightened my nose back out but two black eyes and a very sore forehead were the result.

Yeah I dunno but I think we don't currently have the forward depth to support that system. Not enough skill to compliment the mobile D and what they're trying to accomplish.

Most guys don't like getting punched in the mouth. From my own personal experience getting your nose busted isn't something I'd aspire to. Its hard to measure whether its a deterant because how can you gauge what someone might have done or not done in any given situation ? You see a guy follow a guy into the corner and peel off rather than hit a guy in a vulnerable position. Did he peel off because Lucic is out there or did he peel off because he had some empathy for the other player ? Who knows ?

I think Phil should be trying to win with the talent he has not with the talent he wishes he had. We simply don't have the horses currently to win playing that system ( Nashville ). So you coach to the strengths of your roster and as you add the players you ramp up to the style you'd eventually like to play based on your personal. Doing what we're doing now is a fools game and isn't working. Play to your strengths always.

Read an article about the Hammer of Philly lore and he said he absolutely hated it. He fought to stay in the game. He also said he'd never once fought off the ice. Not a single street fight. Personally I like it when a fight keeps the cheap shot artists honest but I also acknowledge its going away and probably for the better. I just hope the officials and the league disciplinarian can properly police the cheap shots.

House said he was happy with the effort after the 2nd shutout. Not sure if his spirits were still up after the third but I doubt he chewed anyone a new asss in that room. Just once I'd like to see him do some actual coaching. You know, lean over someones shoulder and get in their ear. Chewing his gum more rigorously is about it. And I like the guy. I'd hate to see anyone lose their job. I really want this to work out for the guy but I have my doubts. If they get shut out a fourth time I'm not liking his odds.

Pommers emotional. Good get emotional. I don't think some of these guys take their jobs seriously.

Phils likely in the room coddling the boys

I think I'll stick around for Phils comments. This should be good.

Skinny how can you argue that one ?

Rick the difference in this game is we have no one who can score and no one who can stop pucks

Its nice to see the boys laughing and smiling through a run like this

I'll bet Montour feels like he won the lotto.

Dare I say it...a shutout ?

Except today Dave Pratt actually said Quinn Who would or could win two Norris Trophies and help the Canucks win three, count them, three Stanley Cups. This from an eighth round pick. Imagine they had won the draft lottery and picked Dahlin ? Pratt might have actually talked about Dahlin this season. Anyways they have high hopes for young Quinn and no doubt he'll be good but the over the top hyperbole out of Pratt is over the top. Pratt makes talk radio in Van City CRAZY and he gets the locals all riled up. The worst part is that people actually believe him. I know what you're saying Dudacek , the Canucks are like an alternate universe to the Sabres. I hear it every day.

When I hear Coach Housley say he was satisfied with the response from the players in the Dallas game coming off the Colorado game I gagged a little. When I hear Tage parrot basically the same response by saying we got some chances so we're doing all the right things I wanted to start cutting myself. This organization said they wanted to change the culture but they basically rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic. Pulease get rid of anyone satisfied with following up getting shut out by getting shut out again. Face it we are a league laughing stock. There's no other way to describe what the Pegulas have done to this team. Find some people that know what it takes to win and get them here. Come on already ! Now where did I put those damn bandaids ?

Right now Benning is out GMing Botterail . Without the benefit of a first overall he has quietly built a team that should compete very nicely for years to come. They prolly have more young stars than us without tanking.

I had a faint hope that Dahlin might vie for rookie of the year. Real friggin faint but a hope none the less. Vancouvers youngun has hit a wall so there was a chance if Dahlin started producing. This team is historically bad so that goes out the window.

Phil pads the stats of the stars

Team Dyson ?
