sorry if it's been mentioned already, but ryan kennedy on siriusXM ch. 91 said this morning that MTL took the aho offer to b-point first, and he wasn't interested. didn't know if it was term or the $$, but he added that point was interested in working something out with TB, so...boo. don't know much about cirelli's ability outside of straight scoring stats, but i love point's game, and think he's the perfect 2C for buffalo at this...point. bummer.

The athletic has a story about how much cashish the sabres will have next summer (spoiler alert: the term "free agent frenzy" was used). Can't read it all b/c I don't subscribe. Can't link it b/c I don't know where I saw it. Lazy Saturday here at lake winnepesaukee.

if you're into period stuff, Gentleman Jack (HBO) is fantastic. it's got it all in spades, writing/acting/costumes. love it, and it's based on the main character's actual history via personal journals. it's basically forced be to track down anything suranne jones (lead actress) has done. just something about women with odd noses that really holds my attention. did anyone like Succession on HBO? i thought it was good. some of those family members are thoroughly effed up.

that was a losing battle by kucherov, i don't know why he bothered. it actually made me giggle. that doesn't scream toughness to me. and point taking out frustration on skinner of all people? again, i don't see touhgness there...maybe if he went after bo-lew or something. granted, i don't see any toughness in buffalo's top 9 either, so there's that.

bots will skip third gear by stocking up on high picks via trade and offer sheet marner or point this summer.

He should have plenty in the tank, then.

Anyone wanna hazard a guess as to what the AAV might be for Neal? Maroon? I can't believe an overall #1 is washed out at 24 (yakupov).

Right? What would it take? I know it's possibly been discussed, but I don't remember the names, and their new sitchee-ay-shun might improve the return, eh?

Scott Laughlin on Sirius saying Isles NEED to get ROR, and get him TODAY.

"Bumped" from GM to special advisor by azzhat shanahan, then hired away by the isles.

Weird. Lou leaves a team he helped build to keep a guy like JT on the new team, only to lose said franchise center to the team he just left.

Back on! Thanks. Ooo, 30 more minutes.

Just lost power with extra time starting. Eff me.

Harrington was on the SiriusXM NHL channel a couple hours ago this morning, and his 15min contribution boiled down to "c'mon, we all know this is what's going on, even though I have zero facts." you could hear the deep sighs from the co-host after every blurb followed by a valiant attempt to keep some sense of integrity instilled in the conversation, but it was embarassing at best...to hear a journalist literally making stuff up on the fly. Eff Harrington.

kings are in cap-hell, now and the foreseeable future. kinda why they ditched the GM. gonna leave big names unprotected and none of them are going to get picked up by vegas, that's how bad their contracts are.

I can't help but giggle about that painting of game 1000, a game he's on home ice for, yet wearing road white sweater in the picture. Very well thought out. Hell, why not pay the artist to have two ready to go? Like Terry can't afford that? Edit: re-sign one year deals for the duration of his effectiveness.

same here. it's confusing.

well, jon's always wondered who his mom was. he's always believed ned to be his pa, which we now know to not be the case. also, based on the lead-up story of ned's sister being "kidnapped" by a targaryan, we can confirm jon is a product of stark and targaryan blood (as well as dany's nephew). i think the drama the writers were trying to drum up was finally revealing jon's parents (and the "shock" of ned not being his actual father). this was all theorized well over a year ago, so that might be why the scene rang a bit hollow.

like. any idea what timeframe we can expect for this guy making it to regular playing time? i can't imagine he steps right in a la eichel.

TSN has Bartkowski to Van for 1 year deal, Boston loses another piece.

Arizona/Lindback, 1 year, $875k per TSN

I catch work comp claimaints who are faking. Trained to fly helicopters, but missed my window of employability. Now it's just a 'spensive hobby. Desperately want to do anything related to my bioengineering background that allows me to get the #### out of jersey, ASAP.

was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

In honor of what will most likely be a first round selection by buffalo of jack eichel at this year's draft, at brunch this morning I ordered the jumping jack omelette (mariner's cove, brielle, nj). It was awesome.

I haven't read a single post in this thread, but as I calm down from that 15sec isles OT win, and watch the pro in Chicago sing the anthem, I'm reminded that this is the first season in a long time that I haven't had to see that ding-a-ling in boston (rene something) ham it up with his best ethel mirman impression and fist-pumps (how many THIS time?!) even once.
