I needed to know that for the next time I go to the arena.

What forward depth? Do you mean Rosen, Kulich, et al. from Rochester?

I still hold a grudge over the Peter McNab trade, so I am worse off than you.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Just saw a video of the car accelerating then flying in the air and apparently crashing into a barrier.

Depending on the coach, it can. For instance Peter Laviolette prefers 11-7.

On the actual topic at hand: I read a Xeet (tweet on X = Xeet) on HFBoards that Kane's agent is trying to get extra term on a Buffalo contract.

I can't think of anything. When I lived out of town, people used to denigrate me because I refused to debase myself as an apology for being from the Buffalo area, so I have found ways to appreciate things dear to other local yokels that this yokel does not care much for.

I still can't find someone to sell me a cheapo car for about $5 grand because I am not poor enough. What is so hard to understand that I want a car to tide me over until I finish fixing up my 76 year old house?

Sabres, of course. I follow the Bills a little bit, but I have lost most interest in football because of the NFL's actions over CTE. I have a passing interest in the Cleveland Cavaliers because several of my friends are from Cleveland. Although I kind of like the Blue Jays, I lost interest in baseball after the 1994 strike essentially killed off the Montreal Expos. After that, I am basically market driven: root for the small market teams.

I think the problem is personnel. Ideally, the organisation should be 5 forward lines, 4 defence pairs, and 3 goalkeepers deep of at least passable NHL players without any dead weight. Any youth there should be close to NHL-ready. And therein lies the problem. The forwards have at least 1 consensus player who is dead weight. The youth that can be called up are too young to be truly NHL-ready. The team is debatably zero deep in NHL goaltenders. IMHO, that is on the GM.

Do the players go around the coach to gripe to management?

I went through this with the Braves. I don't have the mental make-up for it.

You need Dan Paille types too. As long as he's useful and while we have him.

Joke's on me. I complete forgot that Comrie is still on IR.🤣

I would first send Levi to Rochester. I personally would assume that Tuch is out for a 2 more weeks, Tage for 6 weeks assuming that it is his thumb is broken and not his wrist (12 otherwise), and Quinn until the All-Star break. Then I would assemble the best roster I can for Buffalo and figure out the best style of play needed to keep the team's heads above water until at least the New Year. That probably means a more conservative system, particularly defending. Then pray.

To some extent, there are. I used to get gloves with a reinforced thumb and thicker wrist protection. I tested the gloves for strength in those areas because I played defence. I think it varies by manufacturer. Addendum: now that it finally hits me, I think what @SDS meant was to ask if each manufacturer varies the protection on the gloves. Not that I know of, but I imagine custom reinforcements are available.

As if the Tuch injury wasn't enough... Dylan, please find your form. Shooters have gloves with shorter wrist guards to give them more touch with a shot. The reason a lot of defencemen and defencive forwards have "stone hands" is because their wrist guards are long enough to preclude fine motor control.

I hate long COVID. I tire out shortly after work and sleep through the game until tomorrow morning. I can afford season tickets again, but I can't stay awake.

What was so wrong with 4 on 4 again?

Has McDermott lost the players? If so, this could get ugly.

He is defending Dorsey? Is he nuts? That is horrible. He needs to go.

TBD is coming unglued.

Against the worst run defence in the league no less.
