  1. Sounds like Achilles from what internet is saying but we'll see. Night Train beating me to it. What penalty do you think it should be?
  2. Side note, Luke Osburn is such an interesting prospect for me. He's 6 days shy of being 2025 draft eligible, so he goes late in the 2024 draft. Plays great as a D+1 in the USHL and is now doing well? At college. Haven't seen any games of his this season but stats look okay. If you treat last year as his dy and this year as his d+1, he's tracking like a top 4 lhd. Should be fun to watch but we're talking 3yrs in college, another 1 or 2 in Rochester before we even start to think about him.
  3. Kruger was all about low event hockey. I don't remember that but I believe it, I've tried to erase those yrs from my brain.
  4. If that's for 5yrs or even 6, I'm not too horrified. If that's 8yrs... not a fan. Tuch has been playing much better of late and certainly deserves a raise.
  5. Truthfully? I see some good with Buffalo. They certainly are a better checking team and the defense doesn't make me want to gouge my soul out. Kesselring is as advertised which I love. Finally prospects don't have roster spots unless injuries occur. The PK deserves praise. Lyon and to an extent Ellis and potentially Luukkonen have been solid to really good.
  6. Pre-shot movement is the next analytics frontier. Idk how goalies will adapt.
  7. Truthfully, Benson's shooting is frustrating but I don't think the shot is as bad as advertised. He's not a sniper but he's gonna get 20 this season. Doesn't help that Thompson is the shooter on that line and they feed him looks.
  8. Goalies are worse because analytics and coaches figured out more successful ways to generate good shots. Cross ice passing, passes from behind the net, point shots that are meant for deflection, even screening. I think it's an evolution of how offense works and goalies can only do so much. That's my opinion.
  9. Sure, but that's one win less over 10 games which is 8 wins less over a season. I'd love to have more faith but after 14yrs, they gotta prove it. We'll see what the next 10 games holds.
  10. I think making this personal like that, is lazy, low, and shows your true colors.
  11. Idc what you call it. Buffalo is currently near the bottom of the eastern conference and if the draft were right now they'd draft 9th overall. Glad we won, we aren't good enough and Kevyn should add to the team.
  12. Zach Benson: 21 nhl goals Isak Rosen: 1 nhl goal
  13. Isak Rosen, you've mildly peaked my interest.
