Iron Crotch

The Casey - Ponch - Kyle line looks surprisingly dangerous.

Great work from Ponch! 3-3!

Goal! ...hanging around...

This is simply the most talented team in the league playing one of the least talented. We have very few guys who would even crack the Preds 20-man roster.

A three page GDT says it all. For over a decade I'd watch most games and many times post here during games with my fellow fans. Now I don't even bother to watch. The team has been too terrible for too long. For the first time in my life I've been watching NBA basketball (New Orleans Pelicans) instead of hockey.

I don't like cheaters and I don't like thieves. :angry:

You want nothing in return... (the music scene in and around New Orleans is fantastic)

It's fun beating the Leaves.

Anderson looked like he was hell bent on getting an interference call against someone.

I'd like to see a 6th goal. Because.... F the Leafs!

Nice. I think that was because they ruled he was pushed into the goalie by the d-man (which he kind of was).

Rough game for Andersen. But, I think that one is going to get called back.

Yay, team! Tens of fans just cheered! The Lightning need to quit whining and look in the mirror. They played a lazy game.

This game was a gem... 6-5 Preds at Winnipeg... https://www.nhl.com/predators/video/hartmans-late-go-ahead-goal/t-277437416/c-58279003

We needed an Irishman on the team

The Preds - Jets game this evening was absurdly good. The Preds fell behind 5-3 midway through the 3rd period then scored three straight to go up 6-5 with a minute left in the 3rd. Five assists for Roman Josi in the game. It takes an entire season for most of our defensemen to rack up five assists! Also, Preds GM David Poile tied the record for most regular-season wins by a GM at 1,319 games.

This group isn't working... last year's group wasn't working... the year before that... and the year before that... :P

Balls Pouliot and Josh Gorges are so bad that no team in the league would give up a 7th rounder for them? (probably so, the more I think about it)

For over a decade we've been trying to spin every transaction as a positive move for the Sabres. And, we've been neck-and-neck with Arizona for the worst NHL franchise over that time. I'm not going to spin the Kane trade as a good deal because other GMs clearly got far more for lesser rentals. That the GM who made the lousy deal said better deals weren't out there is exactly what he would be expected to say. Maybe he isn't good at working the phones and promoting this tradeable assets? Not a single other guy got traded from this awful roster... and history tells me that I shouldn't give a Sabres GM the benefit of the doubt until they've earned it. And, our new GM thus far hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt.

It takes an iron crotch to read through some of these threads. ;)

I got bored with "Potato" and I figured it takes an iron crotch to be a Sabres fan these days. ;)

Having spent well over a decade on this and several other online sports forums, my general rule of thumb is: if what someone posts gets me angry to the point of blocking people, turning into an Internet tough guy, losing sleep at night, etc. then I simply walk away from the keyboard, turn off the computer and leave the forum. Simple. If it isn't fun and entertaining and positive, then just leave. I also agree with the above sentiment that, with the team being lousy for the better part of a decade, we simply run out of things to talk about other than "it's the GM", "it's the owner", "it's the players", "it's the culture", "it's the system", "it's drafting".... I get bored with that stuff, so I just don't post very often these days.

Who knew women's cross country skiing could be so exciting. I was out of my seat watching this one... https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/us-ends-42-year-olympic-cross-country-medal-drought-historic-gold https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/966492623031685121

A brother and sister ice dance team is super creepy. Inappropriate touching all over the place.

Sort of a dull tournament with a hodge podge of "has beens", "journeymen" and "marginal prospects" on each team. Blah.
