Porous Five Hole

I’m so invested in this game to the point that I can only describe my desire for Tampa to win like it’s the Sabres in this game. I dislike the Leafs that much. Eff em.

Are you referring to game three at BCA or game two in Utica?

Yep! I actually discovered it accidentally. My pals and I were looking for ways down into the old underground subway around there and walked right by. The setup was kind of impressive and seemed communal. https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/local-news/new-city-sanctioned-homeless-encampment-opens-in-rochester/amp/

Don’t you think the game has opened up a bit since those days? What team is comparable to that in the playoffs in 2022?

That was actually moved. There’s a compound on a side street by the old subway entrance across from Nick Tahoe’s.

For anyone that is curious, here you are.

Hundreds of comments and not one poster/Isles fan agrees with the decision.

The Leafs v Lightning series is the most interesting game five for me. The betting market is favoring Toronto (I don’t bet on sports), but I have a hard time agreeing with that. Hard to bet against Vasilevskiy.

I guess that Stanley Cup shine wears off pretty quick with players. Tough business. No one could beat the Bolts the last two years, and as mentioned…tough circumstances this year. While I can appreciate the playoffs or bust mentality of a team, who else is better for the job? The hire will be pretty interesting. Unless there’s a scandal brewing, this doesn’t appear to make a lot of sense.

Doesn’t the city own the building? I have to imagine it would be their obligation.

Please noooooooo

Absolutely was offside

You should have seen my condition when I tried to write that out. I needed ibuprofen this morning. I don’t hate five goal games. I love them. That is all.

Am I the only one who hates five goal games? Gimme all the scoring chances and less clutching/grabbing/scrums.

I could get behind something like this. But I don’t know if Toews has anything left. He scored 12G, 25A for 37 points in 71 games, makes 10.5M next year, and has a no move clause.

I hope not haha They already have Tim Graham as long-form. I don’t think they also need a columnist. But I’m sure there are plenty of seasoned hockey reporters from shuttered newspapers across the country that would like to be back on a hockey beat.

I was also there. Syracuse wasn’t ready for a sellout and fans were lined up outside trying to get in after the puck dropped.

If the Sabres are looking to improve via trade and utilize their cap flexibility, I would think they would go shopping on teams that are resigned to a rebuild, but behind the Sabres timeline. Teams like Chicago, Phili, Montreal. Teams find a way in and out of cap jail pretty easily.

I’m the same. I actually cancelled my Athletic membership because I wasn’t finding his Sabres coverage to be worth anything. I got game logs, a mailbag, and one deep-dive once a month that was actually worth reading. Seems like a nice guy and I would wish him well if I saw him. But we’re onto Cincinnati.

Well I’m not sure that’s a perfect comp. The Athletic seems to go after seasoned newspaper reporter types.

This is exciting news, as long as he is replaced. There are some local people off the top of my head who would probably kill for the gig (Joe Yerdon or Bill Hoppe), but I hope it is a fresh voice from out of town.

Don Stevens was passed up for the Sabres job when Dunleavy was hired, and he’s not a young man, so I don’t see it.

WINNERS!!!!
