"Snowflake" is used and misused almost as much as the word "woke" (woke is misused multiple times just in the last 2 pages of this blog), but snowflake perfectly describes a professional person who refuses to perform when their employer tells them to do something, simply because they "don't believe in it". Aww...poor widdle millionare won't wear a pink jersey for 20 minutes cuz his widdle feelings might be hurt by the big, bad gay people he disagrees with.

"Just do your job and keep the politics to yourself"...does that not sound like every right-winger when a Hollywood celebrity publicly supports or denounces a cause? Hockey is no different imo.

The NHL trying to get new fans by holding appreciation nights in no way counts as "shoving the gay agenda in my face", either (I can already predict this response from some posters, and it's laughable). Seeing a bunch of men in pink sweaters will not make anyone crave same-sex relations, unless one was already so-inclined.

His game is being a sissy and missing easy tap ins like our own ZG.

Well if you bet on Levi going forward then it's not a bad deal to pick up someone to hold the fort for a bit. Freddie Andersen, Varlamov, Jarry, Adin Hill and others are all UFA and likely able to hold the fort for a couple years.

I have no clue to be honest. It depends on how it went down. I do think a first round loss will dictate Dubas is fired and someone will shake up the core somehow. Beyond that, I don't know. Something has to happen at some point as contracts run out too.

I know it's a vague answer but it really depends on what happens and how it happens. Are their injuries to star players? Tough to win if Matthews/ROR and Tavares aren't able to play or something.
- Aaron_85

I like a lot of those veteran goalies, but seriously, its gonna be Anderson again once a week next season IMO.

Let's say it's a "straight up" garbage fold the tents playoff series. Sprinkle in a few injuries, but just another come back loss....

Just wondering what you think about moving on from Matthew's or jt?
Does the captain fall on the sword with management?

Can they get out of traveres contract?
Perhaps we swap captains? 🤔

I’m not breaking down line items on this trade, take it or leave it
- washedup20

Seems reasonable.

Interesting. Thanks for your POV. I think (know) the Sabres want to be harder to play against, and I don't feel like that's his game.
- TheSabresTaco

He wouldn't be enough for that I don't think.

on signing here? Hundo

Adam's must be gushing. That's splendid news.

Can't wait, bet levi gets a home start or 2.

My guess, nj devils on 3/24
Again vs. Carolina on 4/9

Montreal for his first game would be perfect IMO. Every game till then means to much ATM. Plus against his childhood team (I assume)

Good. I figured getting rid of Portillo early was because that was pretty set in stone, but our history makes me weary of trusting mgmt.

Think he gets games this year?

First of all I see what you did there. Second of all your captain is a free agent and not great.


I don't think can move on from either of those two guys. I think It's Rielly/Nylander are the two to go if poop hits the fan. Nylander is having his best year to date and while I like it, you'd likely get the most you could out of him in a trade. Marner is just too talented and magical on the ice to trade and you'd never win trades with Marner/Matthews of JT. Rielly and Nylander you could do well on I bet.

EDIT: None of this matters because the leafs are winning this year!

That's a tall order for first starts, we would need to be in the goat head jerseys to make that fair on him.

I was thinking of giving him Ott/Clb (assuming we're out) to end the year. Watcha think? Would give him a month to prep.

Month of prep seems excessive, Montreal gives him a full week if signs on the Monday. And what better game to look forward to(for him).

we still have ptsd from the last time we traded a 1st for a goalie.

With levi I don't think they'd come close to willing to spend that kind of assets on a goalie.
- TheSabresTaco

If that goalie would have stayed on the wagon I don’t think we look so badly at that trade. But he didn’t and it didn’t work out for Buffalo

Wearing a pink jersey is not against anyone's religion. That's all he was asked to do. Similar to snowflake bakers who refuse to do their job of baking a cake for a gay wedding....nobody is making them sleep with another man, just to do their friggin jobs. Wear the jersey, hockey player. Bake the cake, baker. Nobody's religion prevents them from wearing a jersey or baking a cake. It is this "against my religion" nonsense that is the childishly ignorant and irrational part of the discussion. Snowflakes. Worse than any "woke" crap (again, the right's dog-whistle of that word is comically misused and misunderstood.

We're a nation that caters to peoples' feelings more and more, that's undeniable, but if you are on the clock that crap goes out the window imo.

Okposo < not great

Appreciate the insight. Seems like you keep the band together for the most part. Easier to fire management.

Nylander would have some nice value, good post .

Leafs kinda in the same situation with the " havent advanced in x years" vs. "Havent made the playoffs in 12 years" (obviously I'd rather be in your team's shoes)

Point being : all the other 1st round losses shouldnt be piled on this management team. I'm sure they are though... tough city with expectations....

Easier to have low expectations 😉

Good good points, with waiting until the Sabres "we're out"

I definitely feel like levi is a slight gate draw. When the signed mitts , there was a huge unexpected push with seats vs Detroit ( I believe)

2 thoughts :
Sabres are out technically before he gets a game.
Nj seems to be the approximate date for meaningless March games. Hope not.

Thinking Anderson vs Ottawa to wrap the home season up? Maybe his career, although I think he has another year left 🙄

I mean, I agree with you but that's not how sports seem to go though. Past expectations often get lumped into current ones.

I'm not a big follower of FA but didn't Cinci just lose their 2 stud safeties? Even though it's not warm-weather Cinci could be a desireable destination for him, assuming they could afford him.

Yes, yes it does. How about go to another baker and stop harassing people that don't want to take part in your lifestyle because it's degenerate and being shoe-horned into every avenue of life.

It went from accepting it, to celebrating it, to being forced to actively participate in it.

ESPN's Dianna Russinni reports Aaron Rodgers "has provided the NY Jets with a wish-list of free agents" that includes Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard, Marcedes Lewis, and Odell Beckham.

Per Roto World

Is there anything else the Jets can do for him.
