The summer doldrums of hockey. Propose an NHL rule change.

I’d just use a polar bear. -
But would he be an upgrade over VO? I'm not so sure.

Seems like everyone I know in Buffalo went to that concert.

....a three hour tour......

But would issues he might bring overshadow any experience they would be bringing him in for? I think the locker room is finally in a good place; I'd be loathe to disrupt it now. How did that work out?

What role could he fill? Serious question.

I always see the url for twitter as twitter.com. Apparently for some people it comes in as x.com. Even if I click on an x.com link it loads as twitter.com. Not sure why some people see it as x.com but I think when someone pastes in an x.com link it doesn't render.

The goal is awarded. Period. It would be like the new MLB rules about the pitch clock: If a batter isn't in the box in time, it's a strike against him. If the pitcher doesn't start his delivery in time, it's a ball. It's resulted in a winning run walking home in a couple of cases. -

Institute a chaser in the shootout. Once the shooter touches the puck at center ice, a player from the defending team can cross the blue line behind the shooter and do whatever he can to legally defend against the shooter. If the chaser commits an infraction a shootout goal is awarded. Just like shooters cannot repeat, neither can chasers. -

Fine. I'll just resign from the forum.

Observations and wild theories from camp, Day 1
Doohickie replied to dudacek's topic in The Aud Club
I think as camp moves on you will see things come into focus. But waste of time? Certainly not. They need to start getting the young talent ready for their possible callups. They need to develop chemistry with NHL vets at NHL speed (or as close as they will come early in camp). Donny's right to mix and match the lines though: Find out where the chemistry is and ain't. -

Clifton will play 20 minutes a game. When it's shutdown time, a fresh Muel will be moved up from the third pairing. -

Mitts was the 1C coming out of camp in 2021. The injury ruined that but without that injury Tage wouldn't have gotten the opportunity that broke him out. But as last season wore on, Mitts started to show why Donny was so high on him. If someone in 2017 said the Sabres would have three players worthy of 1C in 2023 and none would be named Eichel or Reinhart, you would have been laughed off the forum. I think we're gonna see a strong bump up in Casey's performance this year. I think Greenway/Mitts/Tuch could prove to be the scoring line that not only scores but dishes out punishment on other teams' top lines. Still I think it's likely that come opening night, the top line will be Skinner/Tage/Tuch. But there is so much potential with this group; if certain combos show chemistry this is gonna be a tough team to play against. I like to think this team will earn the moniker of Donny Meatballs' Flying Circus for how much talent they will be putting out there. -
What do you mean welcome back? You don't recognize PA's sock puppet? I kid, I kid. I think.
