it took one cold streak(relative to eichel's normal play). one. actually amazed

Yeah 3 points in a week. "Soft!" "perimeter player!". I don't see Ovechkin sticking his nose in front of the net. Sure he skates around and hits guys, usually bordering on or way over the cheap line, but he's the epitome of a perimeter player, how many goals does he have from the circles out? 400? 500? Oh, but right, it's totally his fault Washington can't win too, so bad example...

Crosby didn't win the Cup for the Pens last year, Guentzel did.

People are pissed beacuse jack breaks sticks ? Lol what do you want him to do dance in the looker room
- gerbe75pts

I want him to play to his potential..... trust me, I really do...

Seriously, this "story" is worthy of the Toronto media.

He broke a franking stick.

Quit pretending this matters in any way.

How many times have you seen a player break a stick in frustration? On the ice even. Hell Keith Ballard almost killed Vokoun because of it.




It's a Kessel and hotdogs story.

I really just wanted an excuse to show that video again. I still can't believe that happened.

New England’s defense is so awful, yet they will still stroll into the Super Bowl
- sbroads24

Probably right....

The realization that the Bills are as poopty as the Jets has really (frank)ed up this board


Both fan bases are now crashing back down to earth
- feetontheair22

Not me, even after their great start I said until they win their 8th game I was saying 7-9. I've seen this movie before.

Maybe vokoun made a pass at his wife at the Christmas party..... lol.

Tyrod doesn’t “suck”
He can make some really nice plays in spots
But...
he’s not a good enough passer to carry this team when the defense isn’t keeping us close
That’s all I’ve ever said

Never bashed him
Never said he sucks

He’s just not a “franchise” qb
I’m ok woth him being our starter next year if the guy we draft isn’t “ready” to start

He just has a ceiling of something like 9-7

Apology accepted (hahaha)
- jdfitz77

He sucked today. It's too bad: I thought he showed some progress this year. He's a likeable guy, and makes some good plays with his feet. Unfortunately when you get behind in the nfl, you need to throw.

Denvers going through the same troubles as us no QB

Went to the game with my father. Drank a lot.
Went back to the parents for dinner. Drank some more.
Fell asleep on the couch.
Woke up. Played pick up hockey.
Day wasn't a total waste. Probably eliminated a hangover tomorrow.

My team lost to the 49ers lmao number 1 pick here we come.

Hey, it could be worse, we could all be Browns fans. Although they at least have a championship in their city in the last 50 years.

Still though. Owner stealing away to (frank)ing Baltimore in the middle of the night? How does one get over THAT?

It's actually a pretty (frank)ed up story:

https://en.wikipedia.org/...ns_relocation_controversy

Well... in my perfect dream world...

This offseason:
Cap at least 77 million

-trade Bogosian, Moulson, Lehner, & Beaulieu (unless he improves & looks promising)
-sign Tavares (10.0m), Carlson (6.0m), and Kane (6.0m)
-trade for Grubauer & sign (2.5m)

-draft defenseman with top 3 picks
-if no one is available in 1st that’s worth it, trade the pick to someone for a good young def prospect


Bailey(.9)-Tavares(10.0)-Okposo(6.0)
Nylander(.9)-Eichel(10.0)-Pommer(5.6)
Kane(6.0)-O’Reilly(7.5)-Reinhart(3.0)
Girgs(1.6)-Larsson(1.5)-Baptiste(.8)
Rodrigues(.7)
*wingers can be shifted around, no biggie
*3 lines that can score
*O’Reilly line won’t have to get all the tough defensive assignments bc the Tavares line will be more than capable as well (4th line too)

Scandella(4.0)-Carlson(6.0)
McCabe(1.6)-Ristolainen(5.4)
Guhle(.7)-Antipin(1.0)
Fedun(.7)
*banking on McCabe getting consistent, or Guhle being ready for the top4 quickly

Grubauer(2.5)
Ullmark(.8)
*I’m done with Lehner...
hopefully Grubauer can be the guy, at least till Luukkonen is ready

Co-Captains- Tavares, Eichel
A- O’Reilly, Carlson
*obviously we’d sit down with Jack & ROR to let them know we are going after Tavares
I’m sure they’d be more than OK with it

In Minors:
F- Mittelstadt, Asplund, Pu, Fasching
D- Falk, Borgen, Tennyson, Nelson


*salaries are rounded
Actual total comes in just under 77mil


BOOM... Cup Contenders


IF the defense still needs help,
trade Reinhart for a good top4 guy
That should shore things up

Long term...
Cap will continue to go up each year
Pommer is off the books after this season

So that’s at least 7.5mil in room to replace Pommer with Mittelstadt & give minor raise to McCabe & pay bonuses

No other signings needed till the following season, and we’d still be ok bc no major raises needed

Doesn’t get dicey for another few seasons at least

I've been defending tyrod, he had a few good games and people were still female doging about him.

I'm wrong, he sucks!


It didn't help that the score got out of hand, from the beginning. The bills are a run first offense. Hard for them to play from behind ect.

He had some wide open guys today, he checked down for 2 yards.
He threw balls high and wide ( shady) on one play
He scrambled in circles
He set up clay to get destroyed by throwing behind him
He passed to Tolbert for 5 yards on 3rd and 15
He is not good

this is a good post

The Devils scored a Touchdown last night.

Bills coaches are currently on satellite conference with them to discover their secrets.

The Sabres coaches should also be in the room.

Scoring is hard in both leagues for teams in the greater Western New York area.

Giants - Trash
Knicks - Trash
Rangers - Fooling themselves (Trash)
