Blatant PI on Kupp not called….embarrassing

The officiating in this game is putrid

Looking like the eye may go into the bay right now, or into AMI/Bradenton. So it appears that one meteorologist may not be so wrong.

I'm not far from you but further north (Melbourne area), but going to shutter up tomorrow anyway so I don't get caught. Praying for the people of Tampa. Looking quite grim for that part of the coast.

Good! Dahlin’s attitude and performance recently make this a no brainer.

It’s slow to start, and fails on the power play.

Shocked and saddened. Just absolutely terrible.

Between your avatar and that quote......you deserve some sort of an award. 🏆

I hope we promote from within. Time to give Kulich or Rosen a chance. I have more faith in our prospects than some of the garbage out in free agency. I'm less than enthused how we addressed our bottom six, but hoping the Sabres give their prospects a chance on a line that makes sense.

Is it just me, but I don’t think that puck went in the net. Looked like crossbar, post and out.

Yeah, Jordan Martinook seems like one of those guys we've been missing for quite some time. I'm certainly not an expert on all things Jordan Martinook, but always come away impressed in my limited viewings of his game. If we were going to sign an old-timer, I'd definitely inquire about Joe Pavelski. He's very long in the tooth, but still quite productive, and provides good all-around play with all the intangibles for a young team. You could probably ink him for 1 year at a very reasonable dollar figure, although I can see Dallas re-upping him.

Honestly.....this isn't bad. Makes sense for both teams.

Freakin delusional.

I wonder how much profit they make from the Bandits? Seeing the crowd and how much merchandise they sell for such a niche sport with low player salaries, one would think they are making money hand over fist. Side note: I'm always amazed (and love) that the players actually have regular full time jobs on top of being a professional lacrosse player.

I remember going nuts during Game 4 when Yuri K popped one in with a couple seconds left. We refused to go silently, even though the team had every excuse. I miss those days.

RIP Bob

I'm curious as to why you think he is not soft. My expectations for Power are fairly low when it comes to physical play, but he almost looks like he is allergic to touching other players. To be clear, I don't expect Power to run guys through the boards. But to be an even marginal defenseman in the NHL, you have to clear forwards from the front of the net, and use your body to position opponents off along the boards or in the slot (e.g. Tallinder or Smehlik). Power struggles mightily with this, and has been caught numerous times "reaching" and being solely focused on the puck, when he should be playing the body. What have you seen that would refute this? And I'm asking this respectfully, because maybe I'm just missing something. I admittedly come from a different age of hockey, where if you didn't play the body as a defenseman, it was heresy. But I would even think in this modern age, you would still have to make some attempt, no? I understand that this could all change, and this part of his game could develop, but ignoring this aspect of his current play would be unwise and could indicate a shortcoming.

Can someone smack Allen into coherence?

I get that, but people talk about Paula’s like some Buffalo institution every time I return, and it almost gaslights me into thinking I was left out of some hidden trend. Not to hijack things, but I always found cultural differences between Southtowns and Northtowns fascinating. There are numerous things that are popular in the Southtowns, that a Northtown gent like myself didn’t even know existed. I kinda thought Paula’s might be like that, and I just wasn’t “with it” back in the 80’s and 90’s to know it was there. Same with Bar Bill.

Very true, but the whole blue cheese vs ranch is dumb quite frankly.

When did Paula’s donuts rise to fame? I’ve never heard of them. I only remember dickies or various other mom and pop donut shops (like Jett donuts, etc.)

Yeah, this wasn’t a thing 20+ years ago. That being said, I also don’t remember even having a choice.

Randy Wood is dandy good.
