Anyone think that Pegula seeing us get our skulls crushed in is making any real difference? 

No

[thewookie1]

That was a penalty but for once I don’t think Dahlin intended to do that, looks like he toe picked and just lunged forward

Benson went right the net after the whistle for the fun. Power stayed as far away as possible. 

We need to draft Bensons not Powers. 

Let's take Schaefer and trade Power.

I remember during the drought years of the Buffalo Bills, obviously there’d be a lot of discussion about who we should draft coming up each year. The consensus of the board was consistently more on point than the people making the actual pics for the Bills. Almost every year.

There were just so many head scratchers where the people in charge were clearly overthinking, passing on no-brainers and reaching for guys like Donte Whitner and Aaron Maybin, etc. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if the people on this board could do a much better job of drafting.

I have heard that stat that in very large numbers a consensus is very unusually wrong 

say ask the audience on millionaire: if it gets above a majority it’s almost *always* right 

just the nature of mathematics if there’s enough random/wrong options I think

law of averages splits up the “wrong” answers evenly 

the correct answer rises to the top almost inevitably

How many empty net goals will the Wild get today. I say 2

Does that include the goals the Sabres will score on themselves?

The 7th defenseman has more ice time than Benson at this point in the game.  I'm not really sure what this means.

Well, you really don't want your playmaker in a top-9 role because....

I don't think the Sabres will be close enough to pull Luukkonen. He might get the hook, but not for the 6th skater.

Either way 😂

I think Lindy will pull the goalie even if they were down by 5

[Thorner]

Honestly they may really be saving it for tomorrow lmao 

I can hope 

[HumanSlinky39]

This is a Wild team missing two of their best forwards and another enforcer-type forward that has been a big contributor for a few years and the Sabres don't look like they belong on the ice with them. Pathetic. What more do you need to see, Terry?

I've switched to March Madness. Tapped out on this one.

[Pimlach]

I am not entertained.  I hate this game.  Nothing to cheer for.  
 

I am thinking of quitting this team.

Bogosian and Hinostroza have assists in this game.  Bryson gets an extension.  What is f'n real anymore? Are the Sabres just an elaborate experiment to see how many of us fans they can punk?

If Schaefer is available, it's him.

This is an ugly game against a very injured Minnesota team. Good ol Papa Warbucks in the building, maybe he can give a speech... Or maybe he gave one during the 1st intermission 

Adams crashes the dressing room for his motivational speech….

Obviously, we are still in the throes of one of the most epic droughts of all time in all professional sports, but this is genuinely absurd at this point.

I can’t believe they were able to go backwards yet again after two years ago we were finally looking like a team ready to take the next step. At least when they broke out offensively, and the young guys looked to be like the real deal they were truly fun to watch, despite not making the playoffs.

I literally hate this team now. I don’t even know why I’m watching other than I work on stuff while sports are on in the background and I can’t take my eyes off this car wreck.

I would trade every holdover from the last few years. Other than probably Tage and Dahlin. 

I can’t stand Jack Quinn, I hate Samuelson, every time I see Owen power I wanna punch the wall, Byram sucks, Benson is good, but he’s still super young and also undersized and not that strong, Krebs is just not talented enough, Greenway does not contribute enough offensively whatsoever, Tuch probably isn’t a first liner, Peterka is a ghost 90% of the time and when he isn’t he’s usually helping create an odd man rush against us…

I could obviously go on, but the only people I want to build around right now are Zucker, Dahlin, Thompson, Norris, Levi/UPL/solid vet bridge, Benson, maybe Tuch but only as second line, Greenway. 

I would trade anybody and everybody else if we can bring in some proven players even if just to change it up. clear out the prospect pipeline through trades and bring us some real ***** NHL players.

Join the club. It’s been a very liberating experience. Watching them with total detachment is much more healthy.
