I'm not gonna judge intent here, which is where "dirty" comes from, but that was a hit that the Pen player just can't make. Maybe reckless is a better word than careless.

The "far away from the boards" part is what made it a really dangerous hit. It was certainly careless.

No, I am recalling all of the national US and CA sportswriters and "experts" that consistently have Matthews ahead of Jack in their rankings and ratings. the members of this forum piss and moan about those articles with extreme regularity. You know, the folks with actual bias. To be honest, I don't have ***** for first hand knowledge of AM's game because the Sabres have made watching other NHL teams disinteresting to me. I watched because I was deeply interested in how we match up across the league. I lost that interest almost 10 years ago now. No hard to figure out why. So, no, no reccency bias here, just the intake of information provided by people without a rooting interest.

Yes. the moment KA has the final info he needs regarding the extent of change.

Ralph is asking the players to step out of their comfort zone. Its not about sending a message to Pittsburgh, its about sending a message the the Sabres and getting them looking out for each other. This may be the watershed moment. They either step up and build from it, or its the bellweather to make big changes.

Not in the eyes of most of the rest of the league that doesn't have your bias or emotional attachment. AM is a superstar in most eyes and Jack is a tier below is most views outside of Sabres fandom.

😀 I wondered when your feathers would ruffle.

Hard to take when you were emotionally invested in the process. I guess it is easier to take when you assumed early on that the this was a very real possible outcome.

Fixed.

Philly was out first choice for locations but they sold out before we had a chance to get tix. Would have been nice to drive instead of fly. But Minny is gonna be fun as hell. I've only seen Minny from the airport so should be a good time exploring. We're taking 5 days off so we'll have time to explore. We're in the "Fuego" section, front and center. Pit, baby!

Rudy never was that kind of player. That knee on knee hit was a last second bad decision. Not “dirty” play.

Cuz Jack never hit Matthews level. shraderenfreude

So last years tix for Rammstein are honored for this year. Sept 3 in Minneapolis. Just booked flights and hotel. Again. Better happen this year. I need a sick ***** stage show.

Living through what we are living through? I'd pay double. Goalie purgatory sucks.

The hell you doing in Danbury? My former employer is headquartered there. There are some decent restaurants but I don't know of any real night life. Don't recall any breweries right in Danbury but 40 min south of there in Norwalk there was one or two. Sorry, forgot the names, but I don't think there are more than 2 so should be easy to figure out.

He thinks he's got a radio call in show.

A psychology grad student could make a helluva thesis out of this forum. Anyone that wanted an experienced coach for this team over most of the past 7 years was shouted down by those yelling "dinosaur!" "analytics!" "progressive!". And now after the last 3 coaches everyone wants what was derided just a couple of seasons ago as a retread. You guys so entertain me. You be you, man.

No question here. We have an organization that has fallen on its face. They absolutely need an experienced hand that knows how to coach in the NHL to help right the ship. A college coach, or any other coach not intimately familiar with the NHL is inherently high risk. Thats the last thing we need.

Well stated. I miss being interested in hockey. Stuff it, you two.

This meme brings all the winning.

I could like this guy. 👆

Huh. I got a server not found. Those hats might make we change my poll response to is this the lowest point in Sabres history.

Who was that poster that was obviously a Sabres plant that came in here a couple of times blowing rose petals around? Sounds a bit like that person.

The thing is, you can lose the trade and improve your team. You don’t have to win the trade. You do have to get enough back to replace Jacks role AND fill some holes, add character or grit, etc. The thing is, you can lose the trade and improve your team. You don’t have to win the trade.
