One or two people have asked me about how to put someone on Ignore recently. Ignore can be a useful utility. If you find that a particular poster brings out the worst in you, the Ignore feature can help you get past their posts without engaging and showing your bad side. If you want to Ignore someone, you can (on a desktop browser) hover the cursor over the poster's information, like thus: And a menu pops up with options at the bottom. At the bottom right is Ignore. If you click on that, it brings up this screen: Check the boxes of the content of theirs you want to Ignore, and click Update Preferences. Another way to get there is to go to the down arrow next to your username in the upper right corner of the screen: And go to Ignored Users. If you go that way, though, you will need to begin to key in the name of the person you want to ignore until their username pops up. Note that through this Ignored Users screen you can also unclick content you are ignoring from a user, in other words, take them off Ignore. So it's not final. Personally I put people on ignore when I notice they trigger me. Their posts still show up in the thread but they're masked over so you can't see them. If you click on it it will give you the option to just view that post or to take them off ignore. After putting them on ignore I will sometimes peek at their posts. I prepare myself mentally for it. Sometimes it's a confirmation of yeah, that's why they're on Ignore, and sometimes it is a valid point and I might answer. If the valid points start to outweigh the stuff that pisses me off I will take the person off ignore. But using the function helps me build up a tolerance for that person's.... personality. The point of this forum, at least to me, is to have fun. If it's not fun, the Ignore function can filter out the people that are stealing your fun.

He also displaces defenders along the boards, shoulder down, for puck recovery.

And he can still get the senior breakfast special at Denny's

Yes I am immune to you.

Hit the road!

You know the "most talented" remark was about Skinner and the contract length was about Mitts, right?

Yeah there will be ups and downs but that line will continue to grow and learn for a while yet.

Tbh I don't care how much his contract is. It is what it is and he is one of the most talented players on the team. And it's not like the Sabres are busting up against the cap. At the end of next season.

Right now he's in Tage's shadow but I think the league will start noticing Cozens soon too. It just blows my mind that the whole line is 20-21 years old and they click so well together. Extend 'em all!

Not saying he never makes a bad pass, but to me it seems the "undisciplined liability" is more reputation than current performance.

Yep. I didn't see too much of Tuch before he was with the Sabres though. I described Tage's line in another post as three virtuosos who play well off each other (as opposed to the Cozens line which is a well-synchronized unit). Each of the players on Tage's line can solo and improvise but the other two are there to pick up when they have to.

He also made the passes that led to Thompson's 3rd and 4th on-timer goals last night. He is an underrated passer.

And he's met a lot of the younger guys at development camp. As I recall he seemed pretty excited to be here.

This didn't age well 😄

Yep. I learned that during the Detroit game: I left after the OT to pick up something at the pharmacy; when I got back the shootout was done. I never got to see any of the shots except the last round which was in the highlights.

No, the problem is when multiple top 4 guys go down and you have to replace them with 7 & 8. Although I do agree that Clague played pretty well and might be a better #7 than Fitz or Pilut.

Depends on the rookies. See also: Quinn, Peterka

For those who say the switch to center wasn't that significant in Tage's emergence: I think it literally saved his career. It gave him the confidence he hadn't yet had as a pro.

You missed it live, you missed it.

I think the answers are maybe and maybe, but that's why we watch the games, innit?

I think that's what Tuch is turning out to be. If he's going to stay on the top line he needs to play that role. His two primary assists to Tage last night were good examples of that, particularly the second one where he drew two defenders and managed to slide the puck over to Tage. Danny Briere couldn't have done what Tuch did on that goal.

He did recently pass, but he was one of the best, perhaps the best, play by play announcer in any sport. Ever. For 67 years.

Vin Scully would like a word.

I don't think I've ever had you on ignore. as far as you know

Save for the last game when he's 4 goals behind McDavid, McDavid scores a hattie, and Tage scores 8 to beat him out and set the single game record. 😉
