    welcome to the club. my #1 priority with fandom nowadays is to refuse to give that part of myself over to what the team is or is not doing. it's an effing waste of time. i've got lots to do in life, and i can't have my loyalty to certain sports teams compromising everything else. i still have fun with it, mind you.

    See - I had wkndered whether there was a backstkry tk this. I'll allkw it even mkre nkw.

    Zach effing Redmond. Welp. Let's Go, Buffalo!
  5. That Aud Smell
    I'll allow it. Mostly because it was frickin' funny.
  6. That Aud Smell
    I share these concerns. Mightily.

    Thanks for sharing. I think your post gets at something fundamental that I resent about the dynamic that's created. I just really, really don't like being led by the nose in any circumstance, and then being made to feel like I'm out of line if I don't want to ape what thousands of other people are dutifully doing. None of which has anything to do with whether I respect what people in the military are doing. (I do, btw.) It's more a function of not liking what pro sports teams are doing to brand, monetize, and homogenize that service and sacrifice.

    this is a really fair point. and, man. is the hockey ever effing ugly. I'm not clear on how much irony or sarcasm was intended here, but I do think that we are seeing evidence of what FGMTM and Hot Daniel were hedging against with their chip and chase small ice approach. The painfulness that this team is exhibiting may be a case of the fans having a "be careful what you wish for" situation.

    I seen what you did there. I've grown more than uneasy over this rote exercise at sporting events. At this point in time, I mostly tune it out. Not unlike Radar, I think the adulation is over-done and, on balance, tends to worsen military-civilian relations rather than improve them. And I've had it with the way these sports brands want to wrap themselves in that cloak. Hard pass on all of it, tbh.

    Really good post, and I agree with all of it. Especially the bit about Jack. He projects as a great player, but is likely not quite the impact player that Matthews is. But, salary cap issues aside, Eichel is not among the team's problems or issues. Swinging and not getting solid contact on Reinhart and Nylander are both far larger issues, as you note. well chosen.
  11. That Aud Smell
    Ahhhh. I see that now. Yes. Well, I'll submit that both things happened. He received it less than cleanly, and then intentionally gave a little unnecessary woop-woop before passing it back.
  12. That Aud Smell
    yes - quite good.
  13. That Aud Smell
    I only saw the highlights and that's absolutely what I saw. Call it the not-quite-all-the-way-around-the-world (a la Vanek), something intended to freeze the goalie a bit.
  14. That Aud Smell
    And I rolled with Tyrod as a QB - that worked out just fine for me, his 2 fumbles notwithstanding.
  15. That Aud Smell
    So strange when the presumed exception proves the rule: Don't overpay for goalies.
  16. That Aud Smell
    I’m just mentioning it vis a vis the turnover ratio. That number has an almost inexorable way of trending back toward the middle. Surrendering sacks and getting no pressure on the QB are a recipe for failure.
  17. That Aud Smell
    Reading the box score: Turnover ratio of -4 on 4 fumbles and a dropped INT (for the Bills). That’s the way the oblong pigskin bounces. Thursday Night Football is such a crapshoot. Onward!
  18. That Aud Smell
    It’s almost as if recovering fumbles is fairly random.
  19. That Aud Smell
    Welp. Turnovers. The well ran dry.
  20. That Aud Smell
    I talked about a remove. This game is infuriating.
  21. That Aud Smell
    I don’t think I can watch the entirety.
  22. That Aud Smell
    3 and out. Fugly. Jesus. Bills D, not good.
  23. That Aud Smell
    Dirty ass play on Jones, too. Jfc. 5 sacks. Turnover ratio ... evening out.
  24. That Aud Smell
    That looks ... bad. Sorry, Zay.
  25. That Aud Smell
    Praise God.
