No.

If you said one of the goalies would steal this series, no way anyone would have said Skinner.

Or call it no goal at the time and get it right. As @Taro T said, if the separation is vertical and not horizontal, it could in fact not be in. I watched the replay several times and I'm pretty sure it was in. To me the trajectory looked consistent with far post-crossbar-camera-near post. But yeah, without an overhead look it's hard to tell. The players on the ice all seemed to think it was a goal though.

It's pretty clearly in. I suspect it bounced off the camera which gave the illusion that it didn't really go in. But you can see plenty of white between the puck and the goal line, and I don't think it was that far off the ice. That said, I do wish they'd show the overheard shot on goals like that.

5 of the Panthers' skaters are former Sabres, and 1 is the grandson of a Sabre (Steven Lorentz).

Tereshenko earned that goal all game long. He's been working hard, particularly in the defensive zone. A just payoff.

I realized the other thing that threw me off was my wife is done teaching for the year so she was home.

Weird Friday. The long weekend was messed up by losing the AC Sunday night and getting it repaired Monday morning. Then the short week, which was shortened even more when a thunderstorm killed my power and I couldn't work from home on Thursday. Then today; Friday is a normal day off since I work 4x10, but for some reason it feels like Saturday. Now I have another Saturday coming up. If a holiday weekend messes me up that bad, I can only imagine what retirement is gonna be like.

We had a pretty good thunderstorm with strong winds (~50 mph) this afternoon. Lost power for almost an hour (although... oddly, I got a text from the power company saying "There is an outage near you, we are working to fix it" about 10 seconds before the power went out). The thunder is rumbling again so I checked the radar and it looks like just about the same size of front coming through. Two in one day. Unusual. Edit: On the plus side, a laid down some sod last week. All this rain is good for it. And the temperature is 66°F, very cool for late May. It's typically highs in the 90s and lows in the mid-to-high 70s. A few days ago it was 85°F at this time of night.

Wait... where's Rasmus Asplund in that roster?

Think about it: A hockey player came out of that hoo-ha

Facebook is hot trash these days. Too many "suggested for you" posts that have nothing to do with me. Go home, AI, you're drunk.

It would be fine if the rest of the Spring 2023 "All Stars" returned to form.

Intentionally so. I think the guy's just trolling for reactions.

Uh yeah. That's it.

Of course not. Every player elevates when they get to the playoffs. The current Sabres haven't seen that yet. But if they had made the playoffs you'd see a higher gear out of the Sabres players. So when posters claim, "This isn't the same Reinhart who played for the Sabres," it most certainly is; he just found that next gear. That's what happens.

He'll be on the Panthers' second pairing in two years....

Other than he has a good hockey name, I know nothing about him. Or Lyckasen or Konecny either.

I was dismayed when Zach Benson made the team. I was wrong. I'm just saying that while it makes sense to look outside for 3/4C help, we might be sitting on someone that is ready to pop into the league with the same success Benson had last year. No matter what Kevyn does, I will withhold judgment until I see how it plays out. There may be a different dynamic with Lindy as HC. If he does have an influence on the roster I will tend to trust Kevyn's moves going forward. Kevyn has his own way of doing things and as much as he says he seeks inputs from those around him, I think having a senior hockey guy like Lindy to vet Kevyn's moves can only help.

Dadonov is like the Stars version of Jeff Skinner. Or maybe Afinogenov. Crazy talent and creativity. Terrible passer.

So, if they managed to offer sheet Mitts for low $6 million range, they would have effectively traded a 1st and a 3rd for Byram.

Me too. The goal meme writes itself. WOW BLUEGER!

Yeah, I read that Boston may want to move Ullmark after basically ignoring him in the playoffs. If Swayman is #1, cash out the #1B and go with a #2 goalie I guess.
