I won an autographed Sam Reinhart jersey at a raffle last night. I was going to offer it to you but since you hate him so much...

I made him a casserole, and went to check on him to see if he was able to cope with being so embarrassed.

I watched this whole thing and I don't know why

We should have said yes for Hall

I still have no problem with the benching last night

I would not have done it

you can thank murray for giving up the prospect pool for kane, bogo, lehner, fasching, and ror

Our power play without 55 (where he does most of his scoring)

5/8- 62%

We should trade him for a 3rd or 4th rd pick just to get rid of him.

He obviously makes this team worse.

Agreed

- homiedclown

Benching is one thing but not making him dress and sit on the bench. Make mistakes during the game and I can see it but not dressing and just sitting there.

I have no problem with it either except that he is on my fantasy team and I am in the finals this week. With Malkin and now Getzlaf both DTD, I need everyone I have to play.

They had to dress him per the CBA, they did not have any extra bodies available.

Rogue One wasn't great. I hated the score. And the uncanny valley was alive and well, but overall it was pretty solid, but people hate that movie with a capital "H".

Edit: I think my "D" key is going.

"You know what would be great? A Star Wars movie with no lightsabers. Also, we'll have two scenes with Vader. He shouldn't fight though, we'll have him talk logistics and make dad jokes. Also, none of that "force stuff."


It was a WWII Movie in space. I hated it, but nearly all my friends loved it.

Then throw the guy a shift in the third period. Or have him "dressed" in the locker room. If I were him I would be pissed. He broke a rule, I get it, but Bylsma handled it terribly

It's impossible for us to conclude that a looser more aggressive d style can succeed, because we have only seen it over three games. 3 games is too small a sample size to draw any valid conclusions.

However, based on the success we've had in those same three games, its very clear that our best strategy for improvement is to trade Risto for a sniper like Hall.

I don't know - given the various team rules and CBA rules in effect, I don't think Bylsma had any other alternative.

He could have played him in the last half of the third period. the message would still be sent. He would have looked like an bumhole for 2 periods instead of 3. I have a feeling Bylsma wouldn't have had the balls to pull what he did last night in front of a home crowd

Trust me, Bylsma is more arrogant then some think.

- jcragcrumple

So we can complain about him "embarrassing" Reinhart for 40 minutes, instead of 60?

People would have had a problem if he played him after breaking a team rule.


...unless it's Evander Kane. Then anything that happens is minimalized to the degree of rules don't matter

If the team rule says you don't play, then playing him the last half of the third period breaks the rules.

The Bills and the Sabres, 2 ships lost at sea with the same Captain, only in Buffalo can you do that.
