  1. Funny story. There actually was a plot to take over and free Confederate prisoners on Johnson's Island in Sandusky Bay, steal a Lake Craft -- Forget the name USS Michigan maybe-- but it is on display in an Erie Pa museum, and shell Buffalo. This was in 1864 https://www.shapell.org/manuscript/johnsons-island-prison-break-abraham-lincoln-reaction/ https://www.nytimes.com/1863/11/13/archives/a-daring-rebel-scheme-conspiracy-in-canada-to-set-free-the.html
  2. We are back! The Blue Jackets are coming off Tuesday’s 5-4 win over the Washington Capitals, which was a big win. However, they could be in a letdown spot tonight after a tough divisional matchup. Columbus is due for regression, as it sits just below .500 despite being one of the worst teams in hockey analytically. The Blue Jackets rank 25th in 5-on-5 expected goals for per 60 minutes (xGF) and 32nd in 5-on-5 expected goals against per 60 (xGA). Joonas Korpisalo is projected to be the starting goalie for Columbus here, and It has been a tough go for him this season. Korpisalo has a 0.887 save percentage and currently ranks 31st amongst starting goaltenders in 5-on-5 goals saved above expected per 60 minutes (GSAx). The Blue Jackets netminder has allowed three or more goals in 14 of his last 16 outings. Buffalo Still Bad, But Slightly Better The Buffalo Sabres will start the second half of their season tonight with seven more days of rest than the Blue Jackets. While the Sabres are bad like they are pretty much every year, we have seen some improvement from their blue line. Buffalo will have a defensive edge over Columbus, ranking 19th in 5-on-5 expected goals against per 60 minutes (xGA) and seventh in average expected goal value of opposing 5-on-5 shot attempts. Not only will Buffalo have the defensive edge against Columbus, but they will also have the goaltending advantage. Dustin Tokarski is the confirmed starter tonight for the Sabres, and he has seen better results than Korpisalo. This season, Tokarski has a 0.904 save percentage and ranks a few spots higher amongst starters in 5-on-5 goals saved above expected per 60 minutes (GSAx).
  3. I play 3 minute games all the time. Addicted? Maybe
  4. Are not Tage and his brother totally different sizes?
  5. Maybe the Sabres will actually play a hockey game sometime soon so we won't have to obsess over a 98 pound weakling playing somewhere over in Europe 🗣️
  6. Having them actually play a few hockey games would be nice. Jst hoping they can start to build build some chemistry together
  7. Sounds like he needs the Tage Thompson weight gain program
  8. We traded away a goalie who was playing pretty well. I thought that was clearly a move to lose more games.
  9. I started beeping my horn this morning at a school bus. The kid wasn't coming out of the house and they just sat there waiting blocking traffic. BS! The kid isn't on time, too bad, move on!
  10. Would be wild if Jack made his Vegas debut tonight
  11. Maybe the thin air affected him more than the other players?
