steveoath Posted April 6 Report Posted April 6 (edited) Sitting out in my garden on a scorching day here, martini in hand. Turns out there’s a hockey game today. The return of Casey. Does he get a tribute video. Stay tuned. Joker also makes a return as a top pair Dman. Bruins are dog dirt. My crystal ball tells me that Sabres will win in a game with 8 goals. hope ostland plays And gets a point or two before he heads back to Roc for the playoffs. Bruins projected lineup Morgan Geekie -- Elias Lindholm -- David Pastrnak Pavel Zacha -- Casey Mittelstadt -- Fabian Lysell Marat Khusnutdinov -- Fraser Minten -- Vinni Lettieri Jakub Lauko -- John Beecher -- Cole Koepke Nikita Zadorov -- Henri Jokiharju Parker Wotherspoon -- Andrew Peeke Mason Lohrei -- Ian Mitchell Joonas Korpisalo Jeremy Swayman Scratched: Michael Callahan, Patrick Brown Injured: Charlie McAvoy (shoulder), Hampus Lindholm (knee), Mark Kastelic (upper body) Sabres projected lineup Zach Benson -- Jiri Kulich -- Tage Thompson JJ Peterka -- Ryan McLeod -- Jack Quinn Jason Zucker -- Peyton Krebs -- Alex Tuch Beck Malenstyn – Noah Östlund -- Sam Lafferty Mattias Samuelsson -- Rasmus Dahlin Owen Power -- Jacob Bernard-Docker Bowen Byram -- Connor Clifton Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen James Reimer Scratched: Jacob Bryson Injured: Tyson Kozak (hip strain), Jordan Greenway (lower body), Josh Norris (middle body) Edited April 6 by steveoath 1 1 Quote
Doohickie Posted April 6 Report Posted April 6 Oh, I see- Kozak nursing an injury. I'd still like to see bumping Peyton down to 4C and giving Östlund some top 9 time. 1 Quote

Sidc3000 Posted April 6 Report Posted April 6 Dahlin is playing so they should play well in front of UPL. Quote
Broken Ankles Posted April 6 Report Posted April 6 Watching the Yankees vs Pirates this morning and Michael Kay spent a half inning on fan frustrations in Pittsburg. Before their home opener on Friday vs NYY there was a plane circling the stadium with a banner reading “sell the team bob” and players and the manager were bood soundly. Kay went on the say it’s unacceptable to not put great talent around Skemes and some of the younger stars. Citing decisions by their GM to not sign a UFA to a multi year deal since 2016. Then goes on to talk about the success of the other franchise's in Pittsburgh (Steelers, the Penguins -albeit not the last few years) and then makes a parallel to similar city (I assume equally absent of palm trees and relative in taxes) with success in the American League in the Guardians. So reminiscent of the Sabres dilemma. The success of the Bills, Bandits and Winnipeg. The similar lack of spending and caliber of supporting cast as a supplement to the home grown talent. The Pittsburgh fan base seems to be done with it after missing the playoffs for only the last 10 years. (Very few can lay claim to describing a 10 year playoff drought as “only”). Kay didn’t call out the owner, GM and Management staff by name but did lay blame indirectly. It just further confirms what we all feel about our ownership and GM. I’ll be following the Pirates attendance throughout the year to see how it correlates to this seasons w/l record and previous years attendance. Regardless of the fact the Bruins make be in a soft tank, let’s put the screws to that city/team. Hate the Bruins. How about an 8 spot? Östlund gets his first goal. 1 hour ago, sabremike said: I mean, it can't get wor... WHAAAAAAAAAAT?????: Exactly! It’s what bad organizations do. Good thing we don’t see thoughtless decisions from the Sabres cracker jack staff. 1 Quote

Carmel Corn Posted April 6 Report Posted April 6 Did somebody tell UPL there is a hockey game going on right now? Quote
