This is an awful comparison. And who the hell compared Cozens to GRIER? Jesus H. 😂 Did I read that right?

Haven't you guys learned anything from Tage and Dahlin? You jump the gun way too early with your whipping boys.

There was a comment made last blog that we never debate any players anymore. We're all so happy with the group, sans goalie, that it's just the Wonderful Land of Oz. So, I just waited for a Sabre to miss a few looks and dropped Václav Varaďa on everyone. It's not my fault Cozens decided to choose yesterday to miss out on scoring. And then people started throwing skinny boy Krebs in too. Now they're whipping boy 1 and 2 next season working on their rookie honeymoons presently.

NEW DEBATE TOPIC:

Is "One Trick Vic" a legit top 6 forward?

The evidence:

In three games on the "top line" with Tage and Jeff "Ear Guards" Skinner One Trick Vic has 2g and 4a to go along with a +1 rating in about 14:45 a night. He even killed a penalty last night for whatever that's worth.

I ask you, Pat Buchanan...I mean Stripes.

Maybe the way to look at this is that Skinner and Tuch make their RW explode.
Not taking anything away from Olo...good on him for rounding out his game!
Yet, does this mean that the shi e on Tuch might have been a bit of a reflection from Tage and Jeffy?

1 goal about 15 minutes a night in 3 games with Krebs and Mitts. Hard to say for Tuch, but it's definitely less than 6 points for Vic. It's got to be tough playing with skinny boy Krebs though.

Either way, we saw Tuch help drive the top line for 44 games. He held his own to he sure.

The Knights playoff chances improved to 25% after last night. If there is good news it is that if they make it they would be catching Dallas and that would mean a first round date with Colorado. As long as Colorado takes care of business I would think that our spot would only drop a 1 or 2 spots from where it would be if Vegas missed out on the playoffs (and of course they couldn't win the lottery if they make the playoffs).

That Vegas pick is really turning interesting. Should be some decent talent there if it ends up 16 to 19. Or a nice trade chip for the right piece.

Great insight there (seriously). LA has won a couple of big games for them (in a row) and Dallas has lost. Dallas also has a tougher end of season schedule. If LV wins the game in hand that they have over Dallas and ends up tied with Dallas, they'll likely have identical records. I wonder who wins the tiebreaker?

Knights don't play until Sunday (Sharks) and they should win that. Dallas and Kings could really put the pressure on LV with wins, they should get, tomorrow: LA vs ANA and DAL vs SEA. No important games tonight

Agreed about the insight. The tie breaker is regulation wins and Dallas barely has more RW’s than the Sabres. They’re effed if tied with Vegas. Bowness better start earning his bowness and coach them up for a big win vs the Kraken on Saturdee

It's kind of weird because he was so good against Vegas the other night. That shot by Okposo was just bizarre. I hate to say it but the two teams were pretty even last night. Our goaltending was the difference.

Meatballs mentioned how weird the ice was last night. He said it was worse than the outdoor game. It effected the game.

That Stars Vegas game, if it were broadcast locally, would probably get a nice Buffalo rating.

Fortunately they close out the season with 4 home games. I do feel a bit better with Colorado looming in the background in the event that Dallas doesn't take care of business.
