Not yet but we're getting there....

No, we are

This is why T-Pegs should be sending Kim to cozy up to Bettman on a regular basis...we need that #1 assigned to the Sabres this year.
- IonSabres

Our attendance or lack of should help with the league assignment of #1.
The nhl isn't going to give stars to teams with rabid fan bases.

Kim and gary should go on a date to a tuesday night game at the arena

Ladies and Jents... we have a winner...

I believe that voids the life insurance policy for Kim.

I cant read this fancy poop for poop but it looks like this is only 8 games (sample size), and that while he didn't necessarily stop the carry ins he was responsible for getting the puck back out of the zone 76% of the time it was brought in.

My math yesterday said his offensive production is about 0.05 ppg less than last years.

So, I am not inclined to hit panic. I have a feeling its a "whipping boy" issue.

Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see an 8 game sample anywhere

Risto is literally the worst at this on the blue line, with Antipin being the best.

why did they only track 8 of his games?

Didn’t notice that, but this wasn’t tracked strictly for him, so I don’t think they used that sample for that reason

This looks like my vinegar strokes

You’re right I’m too harsh on him. It’s not like we’re almost the worst team in hockey and he’s on the ice a lot
- sbroads24

Wait!
I’m very confused who is THE cause of this mess
-Housley
-Reinhart
-Jack
-ROR
-Kane smothering Eichel (my absolute favorite)
-Okposo/Pommer/Pouloit
-Larsons/Girgensons
-Nolan/Wilson
-4th liners (strong runner-up)
-Lehner
-Johnson
-Scandella
-Bogo
-McCabe

Took Risto awhile to be added.

I’m NOT saying he is playing great, because he isn’t....and the real answer to the list above is YES, by virtue of nearly everyone playing at least 1 level higher.
To pick out one and vilify him is what I object to.

The Flyers have placed defenseman Mark Alt on waivers today, as the two other players who landed there on Thursday were not claimed.

No idea

This is 1000%, exactly what I meant

I don't see us being good next year

that sounds just awful. I usually just have it hot with cinnamon

I think they can be a fringe playoff contender/pretender next year. A lot of this will depend on the draft though

I believe I am entirely justified in observing that I have been ill twice this year, for about 4 days combined (sinus infections), and that my wife, who does all this crazy supplement and witchdoctor crap - including the taragon and apple cider vinegar and and matcha and probiotic and coconut oil and other silliness - has been sick for this entire week. And catches the flu every year despite the vaccine.

so, my suggestion for good health:

just not sure they can move bogo, okposo and pommer, which is what they need to do to be good
scandella if we pick first

4th line doesn't matter much
