I counted his AHL games as... "pro" but yeah. LOT of minutes for a young group.

Power is 20, and a rookie. Muel is 23 with about 150 starts. Their best hockey is likely in front of them. I agree - should not pencil them into spots and limit what you're doing with the roster because you want Muel on the first pairing - etc.

Just put a big clock on the ice and set a timer. Start it when the player touches the puck. Pucks gotta be in the back of the net by... i dunno 5 seconds?

Put him out there for shootouts! He can't be worse than UPL right?

I like Depeche mode but their tickets are insane! they're like the most expensive one out there save maybe taylor swift.

I think the challenge is... we need to stop some of the bleeding on PKs. Some of that is cleaned up with better goaltending, but a lot of that is defensemen.

I love the idea of starting a player in his first professional start - against the best team in the league, and one of the best regular season teams ever assembled. It's like a guaranteed win.

I'm texting anderson every game day morning from here on out... "how ya feeeeeeelin?" Gotta have this one. And honestly - they might need to win on sunday.

They're not out of it - but they need to put a serious run together. I'd wager they need... 24 out of 32 points to feel good about their chances. 20 would be bare minimum.

Lybushkin has struggled all low integrating into our tempo. He seems to be playing a bit looser now, but for a while he was reluctant to do much of anything when exiting the zone, and never knew what to do with the puck when he had it in the offensive zone.

With Those Dmen out - you kind of have to? Hino's been playing well and i don't know how greenway fits there. Might have just put him on the vet line because its a fairly simple game on that line. Pucks go forward, they go behind the net, and you finish your checks.

I wanted to go to this one but i think my buddy sold his seasons already for it.

Hinostroza plays with some pace though, so he can fit on a line with cozens or krebs. Olofsson has some use on the power play, though i have noticed teams are just smothering him on the wall if he doesn't have a lot of space.

I heard a lot of good things about their cabinets recently fwiw. Affordable and not as cheaply made as some of the other brands you might see at a depot/lowes.

Fios. Hulu for the rest. Is tonight a hulu game? i hate scrambling to find it on there.

I kind of hate both of them. The terrible home ice camera work, the terrible sound quality, terrible arena, terrible announcing. It needs an overhaul.

yeah i think bjork was a dollars piece or something.

It changes nothing for people who already have cable, or out of market people with ESPN+. Its just giving people who don't have or want cable in the buffalo market an option to watch the games. I think its overpriced, but maybe they'll see low subscriber counts and adjust - but it literally already exists as a platform. They don't need to do much of anything other than lift blackout restrictions for subscribers. So all this really does is address a portion of fans who had no access, so i don't see how it could be anything other than growth. I'm more wondering when they're going to address the absolute terrible quality of it. Sound is off, especially on away games. Camera feeds are terrible. Feels like its dark - that could be our terrible arena though. It's a consistently poor product.

The challenge at the deadline is only bad teams are looking to sell. So you limit yourself to about 10 teams that you can buy from. Prices are usually higher too. I do think a deal will need to be made next offseason - but you have free agency, and teams looking to dump salary etc in the offseason.

do you know this or are you just speculating?

Blew what? Didn't he offer him a contract?

Yeah - skinners off the books by the time any questions come up around quinn/JJP and literally anyone else in the pipeline. Tuch will be 30 if he hits UFA before that - 30 year olds don't get paid much and they usually don't get term. Power gets a lower AAV because you buy out RFA years and trade some UFA ones. Dahlin will get paid hopefully soon before the cap jumps.

There are less than 30 games left and Anderson is the best we have. I still carry 3 because i'd rather UPL start than comrie, but Anderson should get 2/3 starts the rest of the way. He's already retiring after the year, just play your ass off and leave it on the ice. Are we going to really roll 3 different goalies out in a playoff series?

The stick was definitely up, but Stamkos misplayed the puck and then fell over trying to reach for it. Looked like he may have tried to trap the stick and took a dive.

I mean - you have toronto looking at a possible delay of game... but you don't for actual penalties?
