Andrew Amerk

Pretty interesting to hear Steve Weekes advocating for NYI to go attack the top TBL players next game. Thought that was something that the NHL was trying to get away from, maybe?

I can’t tell if that’s meant to be a bad thing or a good thing.

It’s also quite possible that Lehner knew he needed help, and wanted it, but didn’t want to stay in a “losing culture/losing situation.” We really don’t know everything, and likely never will. But @PerreaultForever might be onto something as well.

Thanks. That’s what I thought but wanted to clarify, since the site didn’t provide any instruction.

Idk, it’s not like Long Island or Chicago are a drastic change of scenery from Buffalo. Maybe their “hockey cultures” are.

Am I only supposed to pick the winner of one matchup?

I really wish I was higher on him, but I’ve been watching players play for the Amerks my entire life, and Mitts doesn’t seem poised for much of an NHL career.

Was just a feeling. Maybe he could’ve worked out here if Buffalo had realized his issues and worked with him on addressing them. Who knows.

If TBL wins the Cup, or comes close, it’ll prolly be a lot harder for them to convince players to waive their NMC’s. For a team that has drafted as well as them, maybe they won’t be too concerned about giving up Cirelli for #8. 🤷‍♂️

Sorry. It was my non-clarified response to people debating on what to do with Mitts. I’m in the package-him-in-a-deal-to-get-a-useful-player group. If Botts was able to get Joki for Nylander, then the assumption should be that our new and better GM can get something even better for Mitts.

I have a feeling Lehner might pitch a donut tonight.

Or just ship the $5 item for $2. It’s not made of Swarovski crystals.

I’m not sure what there really is to deliberate here. Pegulas wanted to trim money, Botts didn’t agree, and was replaced by a yes man who will do what they want with no pushback. What is there to debate?

Why is this still a discussion? Trade him while he might still have value. He isn’t gonna pan out.

What a close game.

Lightning strike with an electrifying start, shocking the Isles as they jolt out to an early lead - or whatever other puns are appropriate.

$8 shipping lol

Of course the Leafs lost to the Leafs. That’s usually who beats them most often.

3-0

This is a very sad take to have.

Someone named their son after Margaret Thatcher. That’s a good one for me to ponder as I drift to sleep.

Well thanks NHL, Boston and TBL, I have work at 6am and can’t stay up to see who wins

Thank you for pointing that one out as well, I’d forgotten about it. A unified display. Sort of like what people are trying to do now. Interesting. And somehow people were okay with the 9/11 and Boston Marathon unified displays, but not this current one.

This should probably get moved to the politics area.

HUGE exception to the rule. Especially considering the league wasnt full of 235lb gorillas at that time. But, he was still very small!
