The play in their defensive zone is sometimes atrocious. They keep chasing the puck instead of playing smart and maintaining coverage in the slot and pushing them away from the crease. Way too much reaching instead of checking. Weak back door coverage. Turning over the puck near the blue line instead of dumping it out to make the opponents reset.

The league decided for your mental health that only people who are drinking heavily should watch this game.

I always found Rivet hard to listen to. He always had to get responses pulled out of him. Duff and Marty are more prepared.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the owners told him to keep the salaries low and with short term commitments because of the recent financial losses, given they expected this to be a rebuild year anyways. That’s why they signed so many $750k one year contracts.

You should root for Syracuse University football. Oh wait, they’re 4-5 in conference. Well there’s always SU basketball. Oh wait, they just gave up 100 points to Colgate.

I always wore 5 when I played, so Mike Ramsey. From the current team I’d take Sabretooth.

The Sabres will recommend that he tape his stick to his glove and suck it up.

Or many of the Sabres fans who have been attending may have sold their tickets and it will be a half full arena of Leafs fans.

You just know they’re going to score if they pull the goalie.

McDavid highsticked Skinner in the face.

They were specifically talking about 1st round picks in the organization. JJ was drafted in the 2nd.

Shortie got a penalty.

Imagine if the Sabres had started Eichel vs McDavid for the opening face off in their first meeting. Eichel wins the face off, McDavid is dejected, and never recovers. 😜

Probably still cheaper than going to a Toronto game.

This is the weekend where the Sabres go below the Mendoza line for the rest of the season.

He hurt his back trying to carry the team for 60 minutes.

A name not mentioned who might attract interest is Bryson. He’s on the last year of his contract and could help a playoff team looking for an offensive D. Might return a 2nd round pick.

Car crashes get more attention than safe driving.

He wore #19 in World Jr’s for Canada, and was drafted in 2019, so his draft day jersey had #19.

It didn’t take so I kept hitting Submit, and then they all showed up, so I deleted and redid.

He’s 8th on their depth chart but they don’t want to lose him because they’re thin on depth. If they could they’d put him in the AHL.

Why would I want to watch losses, especially after midnight. This game further exposed the soft D. Too many offensive D who prefer to stick check than take the body or clear the screen. I hope Samuelsson can come up soon and provide some.

So I made the right call to go to bed after the 2nd period. 🤔

You convinced me. Good night.
