Weave

Wasn’t Tyler Myers reportedly consuming like 7000 calories per day in an effort to gain weight? And having difficulty maintaining it? Its not an unfounded point.

Its kind of weird wearng a jersey of a kid half your age. I’d pick one to give away as a gift.

My point was, the comment I snipped just isn’t factual here. Using it as a starting point for the rest is not a stable base for the premise. Blame the tone on early morning.

The win last night was not unlike the wins during early season streaks in seasons past. The team was outmatched but managed to hold on despite the disparity in play. Not good yet, but better to the point of being watchable. Small steps I suppose.

Do you make this ***** up just so you can get that novel percolating in your brain an excuse to erupt?

Man, no on ice response after that Toker hit. Me no likey. This team has got to be there for him.

Wait, what? No Zemgus?

And hopefully they don’t get 4 weeks into it and decide he needs a pin inserted.

Hot take. Jack Eichel will be on the ice before Casey Mittlestadt.

I wasn’t thinking equipment. I was thinking stronger punishment for the slashes.

Yeah, someone should chg the title to say “Rick the dog”.

And dying to be here. I think its just more evidence that the old core was over it.

1. I don’t know about stroke of genius. It seemed obvious to alot of us as long as you didn’t over think it. 2. Still wish we had ROR, but a successful Johnson reduces the sting. 3. We can only hope. He’s pretty central to near term success 4. I think the home vs away record is the result of having last change. He can better hide our warts at home. 5. Some of that is they are being featured above where they should be slotted. I think they’ll both develop into good bottom half of the lineup on good teams players 6. Hopefully its not shades of Bowman era Sabres, but I agree. 7. I’m leary of UPL at this point 8. who would have thought Thompson would revitalize at center. That bingo spot went unclaimed. 9. Promising

You had to be there when they were relevant.

Spin it any way you want. You’ve got 6 Calder eligible players on that roster plus a couple more that we don’t have a firm grasp on their NHL level. That’s a bold move, Cotton. And certainly one that is lokely to struggle.

Untested in the NHL talent. They will struggle for awhile.

I’ve said before that the rosters we’ve been icing since about 2010 have been unloveable, save maybe an Okposo or two. These guys could grow on me. Cozens is easy to root for. I’m already smitten with The Mule and he’s not even here full time yet. Tuch seems genuine. It’s easy to cheer for Toker. Quite a change of pace after the era of tankfruit that, while certainly talented, were rather unlikeable otherwise.

*****, yeah! that was an entertaining game.

Queue up the “Yo Dawg” memes.

They did not tank. They never lost on purpose. They fell into bankruptcy and couldn’t afford to keep players and personnel.

So I guess the message is, if you are going to lose big, do it for 2 seasons, luck into a lottery in the 3rd, and draft 2 more HOFers 5 and 7 years after.

I am fully in on the Concept of The Mule.

They were a bankrupt team, not a team that was focused on 1 oal. I know you know that.

Pittsburgh did not tank to land Crosby. They won an altered lottery coming off a lockout season. Lottery balls were based on an average of multiple season standings that year. Buffalo had equal chances as Pittsburgh to win that lottery.
