There was nothing fishy about Pesce’s last goal.

Surprised to see this in International unless it it USA vs CAN. Tuchy should have buried him when he had the chance.

There will be some very good players there at 13, and I am confident in this Front Office find one.

I like the way Adams is paying his core and managing the oncoming wave of salaries.

Good luck Ollie! Olsie? Oller?

Yesterday - I grilled a 1.5 lb Porterhouse steak, split it with my wife, and we still had some left over for my lunch today. Seasoned it with Lawry's seasoning, garlic power, and cracked pepper corns. Seared on the Weber Genesis at 500+ degrees and cooked medium rare. Lovely outcome, I should have taken a picture.

Get phase 2 done soon, then finish all the trim, don’t leave it hanging for later … and then take a break. Looks good BTW. Nice job.

Probably true, but ROR is someone who finds a way in playoffs. I am happy for Sam.

Great replays on TV. Wow. Reinhart was there, he planned 5 hole and took it.

I thought it could be Reinhart or ROR with the winner. Good for Him!!!

Made it for OT. Go Cats.

Let make a like with Miles Wood and the Flying Foligno Brothers.

Me too. At long last. Ridiculous laws were passed that screwed too many people that I know.

Never thought I’d see the day that weed became a legit business.

Well, not just playoff experience, he has 3 Cup wins and a Conn Smythe. Add in a Hart, a Ross, a Lindsey Award, and a Calder. I don’t want him because we have players with his skill set and he would block others. We have a lot good forward prospects to look at. Top 4 defenseman, goalie, a big power or checking forward. He doesn’t fill the needs.

What is meant by “critical kush indica”. I get that kush is weed, Afghan maybe? What is critical about it?

The beer there varies by region. Bavaria, where I lived, had some different beers than in the Northern regions. I was wasn’t allowed to go to East Germany beck then, other than the drive to West Berlin. Bitburger Pils was everywhere in the south region back then.

Right now, In order: Dahlin, Thompson, Power, Cozens, Tuch. Levi could jump into this list.

Savoie needs a place to play, why waste a slot on Kane? We have a few prospects that we should look at before we really hit a log jam at forward. If we add an outside forward let’s get one that give us something we need. Adam’s was interested in Tom Wilson, then he got Greenway. Why not add another power forward? When watching playoff hockey you see the need.

I am in the camp that believes we need a big, mobile, physical, defensive-defenseman with top 4 talent to improve this team. Get that player and we will be better able to cope with injuries on the backline. You keep bringing up Chyckrun, but the acquisition does not even have to be that splashy. Get Ryan Graves or another defensive defenseman of that ilk. Get someone that has size, strength, mobility, good PK, and consistently keeps the slot clear. Graves was +34 for the Devils this year. Not flashy, just quietly very good. He will allow either Dahlin or Power more ability to create. He would help in the event that Samuelsson gets hurt. Dahlin is the top player. Power is next. Separating them will be powerful. They each need the right partner. Samuelsson was good as a first pairing compliment to Dahlin. He was often very good and has not reached his full potential yet. The Sabres record without him in the line up says a lot about him as a player, but it says even more about the poor depth on the team. Enter Joki. He was adequate as a 4 but how much better would the team look with a more physical and better defensive presence back there? Joki's skill set is more similar to a Dahlin than to a Samuelsson. That is one reason we struggle with Samuelsson out and even with Lubyshkin out or playing injured. We lack physical presence on defense without Muel and Bush - unless you want and expect Dahlin to carry that load, which I think is not the way to structure this team. Looking at the playoff teams, I cannot help but see we need that big strong rock back there. We do not have that. Power is still years away from getting that kind of physical strength let alone the mind set. Dahlin is much more physical, but his game should be Bobby Orr, not Don Awrey. Think about replacing Joki (-12) with Ryan Graves (+34) for a minute. You just upgraded on Joki and maybe even on Samuelsson (+14). Add a defensive-defensive player to the top 4 and move Joki to lead the 3rd pair as the 5. He brings skills to the 3rd pairing that most teams won't have. Pair him with a platoon of Lubyshkin/Stillman (the 6/7 combo) to add more physical presence to the lineup. An 8th defender that can play in Rochester and come up/down without waiver risk would be nice and that appears to be the role KA has for Johnson if he decides to "settle" for playing in Buffalo. Bryson and Clague can be packaged in a trade, or can be signed to Rochester. The GM and coach are saying the right things, they are not going to talk bad about Joki. He is still young for a defenseman and he can get better. But he is not what we need in the top 4 if this team is going to take another step. He just isn't. They need to add a defensive stud into the top 4, it is a glaring need.

I appears to me that hits are counted by the home team and it varies night to night on how they do it. If you posses the puck you are not hitting. If you do you get an interference penalty or you take yourself out of the play - it is that simple. Where the Sabres need to do better is defensive zone play and there is an element of hitting - separating the opposing player from the puck - that they need to get better at.

No. Just calling out a cheap-shot, Bennett is famous for them.

Sam Bennett is a POS. Injures Bunting and then throws another crosscheck into his back when he was down. Then gave ROR the business knowing there would be no retaliation. The Leaves need the PP.
