That Aud Smell

Greenway is not a fighter, by any measure.

Four periods. No sign of Lindy Magic.

I presume they’re in just as good shape as the Devils. I think they look slow and behind the play because they lack confidence in what they’re doing. Or it’s because they don’t compete hard enough. Or it’s because the opposing players are better than them. It’s likely a combination of these factors.

I’m doing a factory reset. One‘s experience of and with a team is largely a choice. Whatever will be, will be. Hope for the best. And such.

Let’s Go, Buffalo!!

He’ll be a ~15 goal scorer and no more with that muffin he puts on goal. It’s barely an AHL top-6 forward’s level shot. He needs to make his money elsewhere. Greenway is a legitimately excellent penalty killer.

Yeah. This is helpful. Buffalo shot 3% on their high-danger chances; NJ shot 17% on the same. Otoh, I worry about Cozens. On at least two occasions, he had primo chances but his shots were ... meh.

(Go Sabres.)

Thompson’s floating.

eerily similar

Thanks for making me think of this. Just the best.

Benson = Benny Confirmed: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAs8pXyvehL/?igsh=YzJhOXlpazBzaXN0

Let’s Go, Buffalo!! Jack Quinn to open the scoring.

Put this post in the fookin’ Louvre.

A good guess, I'd say. More guessing: Kulich = Kooler And one that I think is well known (but he didn't show up on the reel): Cozens = Cuzzy

I had the same thought. It was a bridge too far when I learned that Grant Fhur's hockey nickname was Fuhrzee.

Confirmed? Or inferred.

Makes sense? That leaves Krebsy as the 13F and then Gibby and Brice as the 7D/8D. As was foretold. Something about seeing Gilbert yesterday in the nickname reel made me think of Bob Boughner. Maybe Lindy had the same thought.

anybody can be done with "it," btw.

Do NOT give me a YO MAMA option and not expect me to hammer it. I said second tier star, 30+ goals for Peterka. Excellent player. As for the holy trinity of youts, I would have voted for Benson but for the YO MAMA option.

Also, it's happened. I'm lowkey in love with the team. GOD DAMMIT. (Please be good.)

NAK = Kubey Reimer = Reims or Optimus Rousek = Rousino (THAT'S a personal favourite. Reminds me of Enzo a bit.) He and Quinn are ... dare I say ... adorbs. Levi = Leevs, Beast, Dwayne

Clague = Claguer Lafferty = Laf McLeod = Clouder

Krebs = Krebsy. Bryson = Brys (Brice) Tuch = Tuchy Clifton = Cliffy Dahlin = Ras Somebody goes by "Gibby." I clearly need to catch up on who's rostered. (Okay - Dennis Gilbert.)

Samuelsson = Sammy UPL = Upie ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Greenway ... isn't sure. That was a funny bit. The producer calls to him "Greener? ..." Then he professes not to know. Then someone reminds him: Dude she just called you Greener. After some reflection, he also offers "Big Rig."
