They’ve got too many Penguins on Ignore

Wasn’t that the Mario goal where the puck descended from the heavens and landed on his stick right in front? That Kasparaitis scored the OT goal after cheating blatantly added to the broken items in my house I don’t know that I have a memory of a more infuriating loss in all honesty something about it the fact such an all time player in Mario got that kind of luck darius just everything about it

When I read the thread title, this is what came to mind. Man I remember trashing my parents basement

So how did we play overall?

“IGGY!”

As a Canadian, I’ve been lucky to avoid the Crosby angst. That golden goal just goes such a long way 😉

How did they look? Didn’t see this one. .500 remains elusive.

I feel like their record in these uniform sets is poor

27 games in. About 1/3rd of the way. Goes fast.

Cozens and Dahlin were solid I thought

That was a really nice pass from Quinn to KO. Crisp and right on target

.500 remains pesky and elusive, for now. Perhaps next game.

Lol forgive me for inviting you to elaborate on your opinion I’ll be sure to avoid doing that next time

@7+6=13 what’s the thumbs down for the uniforms thing or the Cozens thing?

Marek seriously loves talking about the Sabres they are a main focus on his show almost every day. Kinda wild

I love Christmas music but the Mariah song sucks I’m sorry I’d still rather hear it than not given the circumstances but damn

Mittelstadt with a key 4:52 second shift to end it lol

Can easier predict where rebounds will go. His veteran positioning is a huge boon

These uniforms are an eyesore Cozens playing against his soon-to-be-future-self in Jeff Carter (rather, what Carter was in his prime) Whoever made the “we need more blocks” thread is basking right now

can’t even SEE it. MAN do I ever miss Bob Cole. That call. “Couldn’t get the words out and it was GONE!”

That MUST have been the typo it’s just odd it didn’t autocorrect on my iPad Actually I see now it doesn’t ok lol

Arttu leaned heavily on his Star Wars connection for fame

This is ok so far aside from one glaring error actual thompson dahlin skinner tuch cozens

Ya, like other posters when I bring up the early defensive metrics and selke talk around Jack, it just gets the “nah, no thanks, I don’t like that so no” response. I’m just relaying what the hockey world outside of sabrespace is saying. Go look at the numbers on that team: he’s their best player, both ways, a team near the top of the league. If you want to disregard it, be my guest. Frankly it has nothing to do with me “liking” Eichel as this isn’t even MY argument. If framing it as something I’m saying just because I’m biased makes it sit better, again, go ahead Im not going to flood threads with Jack’s numbers. The deeper dives are out there if anyone wants them. Not my fight.

I’m glad VO’s are (slightly) better, as I’d deal Casey first of the two. He may even have more value because of past pedigree (“we can fix him”) and that he plays C. I’ve seen VO’s metrics look much better in the past and can’t recall seeing such w/Casey so naturally including my own bias already I lean towards blaming Casey here, more, though both share. As always I would deal VO for a hockey trade and not a draft pick, same w/ Casey but, again, I think I’d prioritize wheeling and dealing on the Mittestadt front, first.
