I'd trust Putin about as far as he would let me throw him. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/21/europe/ukraine-russia-odesa-fire-trump-intl-hnk/index.html

Terry's 200 million dollar investment is now worth over a billion. It's a very attractive asset.

Because a lot of ppl have been conditioned to believe they don't deserve better, they just deserve what their billionaire overlords let trickle down.

Because he doesn't think trump will intervene. Trumps already sided with him. Putin wants to re-arm and invade the Balkans. He'll need a land route meaning he'll find a pretext for taking more of Ukraine.

I think Adams is high on his own supply. I loved how the media started yelling "look! He traded Cozens, Adams is changing his plan!" Lol, *****. Dude is sitting on his hands signing the same guys and bringing back the same coaches all because he "believes in the guys we have" or some other such nonsense.

The Buffalo Bandits just won back to back national titles. Stop making excuses for poor decision making.

Look, I'm not power's biggest fan at all, but, he's not at the height of his power yet.

Kesselring has 3 other pro seasons. And is still 3 years older, he's played more hockey.

Yes, but he was careless. Again, a rare mistake from McLeod. Was surprised it was him actually.

Putin wants to consolidate gains, re-arm, re-train, then resume his advance. He probably hopes to accomplish that before Trump potentially leaves office.

That said... where the hell was the rest of the team going? No puck support.

That was pathetic. Just stupid. Rare dumb moment from McLeod.

Kesselring is 3 years older with less production. Power has work to do but other than being a right shot, I think these announcers are wrong. At least right now.

Friend's dog passed away. He was our dogs buddy.

What's the last top 5 pick that was traded? What did it get? It should be ruled out because we won't get a good value in return.

This is what propaganda looks like. Also, it's super cringy all on its own. Reminder, they want to destroy the Department of Education so they can privatize many of its functions and run for profit schools.

Should be fun.

It's not a strawman, I don't think you can get a good enough return. I certainly dont believe Adams can.

Adams just can't help himself though. He's a big sappy puddle just like Terry where he believes in the room and loyalty to his guys and trust and it's all of us blah blah blah. Dude is basically a mushy dad coaching all his kids.

I disliked because until you can tell me what that pick is getting traded for and until the draft lottery occurs, the answer is no. Buffalo hasn't drafted a top 5 forward since Eichel.

and under Granato we were 1 point away from the playoffs. Great, Ruff had one good year with the Devils, fantastic.

Quick note, Barkov had 26 and 36pts in his first 2 NHL years and he came out of Liiga. He is younger compared to Benson with a Sept 2 b-day but still, just interesting. I am well aware they play different positions and one is 6'3" so please again, don't take this as a 1 to 1 comparison.

Yuppp. I keep trying to remind everyone, often, that Benson has barely scratched the surface of all that he will bring. Kid won't be 20 until the season ends. Won't be 21 until next season ends. Once that brain of his hits full maturity (around 25) if the skills continue to grow too, there's a really special player there. He's already starting to generate bottom end Selke level defensive metrics. Idk when a winger last won a Selke without looking but I don't bring up that trophy lightly. I only hope he progresses as he has this season. Edit: Please note I am not guaranteeing that Benson wins a Selke or even that he will be in that convo or that good. He just has some tracking numbers that are similar to guys like Barkov.

Hmm, yea somewhat. We've seen Martone push up ice but my issue is he doesn't demand the puck. He's got underrated playmaking though, I will say that. Idk, I trend towards high motor guys with some skills as opposed to big guys with some skills. It is how I end up liking Jarvis or Benson over players like Martone. Not to say Martone can't be or won't be better than them long term. Martone's projection comes down to consistency. If he can consistently attack up ice, use his playmaking to bait defenders while using his shot to keep goalies honest, you have a top line forward. You have better Tuch, maybe a lot better. He does play physical and he does go to the dirty areas. There's a lot to love in his game so please don't think I dont like him. His skating needs some better agility and he needs to be a bit quicker with his shot. That said, he sees the ice well, he has no issues with physical play (I think some have overblown this as he is Tkachuk like but he's not). I really like how he supports plays and can run a line at times from the wing spot. Considering Luke Misa is pretty fast, Martone does well keeping up... although, I think Martone prefers others to carry the puck in. Anyways... OHL just dropped highlights for him yesterday. My advice for watching these is see what happens before a goal is scored, what does Martone do, where does he go, how does he either pass or shoot. The end thing is nice but the why it occurs is the important part. Quick note, when you hear "Misa" that is Michael's brother Luke, a 5th round pick of the Flames last year. oh yea... Leenders is the opposing goalie but don't think to harshly of him from just 1 game of highlights.
