Blackbelt Bobman posted:The Sabres have 39 games remaining, they would have to get 50 more points to reach 95. A week and a half ago, I would’ve said yeah they can do it but they have played like poo poo for the past ten days including losing to the loving Blackhawks last night!!!! So I am dumb and got overzealous when they beat Boston. They have only won like one game where they scored fewer than 4 goals. They’ve given up fewer than 3 goals nine times this season. They are such a hot mess.

Avs D-core is about to be healthy again. Makar and Manson are both day-to-day with both expected to be back in the next couple of games, and Byram ready for the first game after the All Star break. That'll leave just Landeskog, Helm, and Malgin as the only injured players. Landeskog and Malgin are at least a month off, and Helm at least 2, but Avs are gonna be the healthiest they've been all season after the break

I’m going to the Sabres game tonight to see them retire Ryan Miller’s number and induct him into the Sabres Hall of Fame. The Pegulas got rid of the SHOF a few years ago because they’re idiots, but now it’s back, baby. I had the pleasure of seeing Rick Jeaneret inducted like eleven or twelve years ago. Also Dale Hawerchuk I think? It was in the first game the Sabres played at home against the new Winnipeg Jets so that tracks. Hopefully the banner ceremony and the fact that the game is sold out will give the Sabres energy and momentum!!!

Which isn't wrong but there are plenty of uglier jerseys out there It's just boring. I think the colour combo of the drab brick red, thin white pattern and just a straight white word mark makes it look like a plain shirt with some stripes thrown on, especially with the same coloured helmet and gloves, everything just blends in. There's no colour, no pop, nothing. Like the "classic" basic colour with some white striping uniforms like the Leafs and Wings work because their base colour is a bright primary so the white actually stands out because of the contrast and the lines are thick enough and the big rear end logo is there as a focal point. Put like a better logo in the middle and/or colour the patterns a bit and it should look better, or at least more complete.

Huberdeau doesn't even look like he's worth his current contract... let alone it almost doubling next year. It's almost like Milan Lucic shouldn't be in the top 6. Also fire Markstrom into the sun... .922 last year to an .895, jesus christ I hate this team.

This is a trade with Vancouver we're talking about, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'd bet someone has the number for the guys in Pittsburgh too. He's just had a bad 10 days, I expect him to come back and hit that reset okay. He's not really been the same as before that lovely sequence with the Flames a couple years ago where he got injured after Tkachuk jumped him in the following game.

So I've mulled this over a bit.

Likely this rarely the case, but it also lets me keep, somewhat, in practice with writing in general. What I will do, because I do write a lot and talk a lot of stupid poo poo is this - No Bet. I, Rex will toxx for - $20 to a chosen Seattle cause for the following: 1. Kraken finish the year with 11.5% shooting on the year 2. Seattle makes the playoffs.

Dumba is a right hander and it would be exceedingly surprising, to me, if the Pens were aiming to acquiring him. Letang/Petry/Rutta, while having their issues, is decent enough. It's the left side of Pettersson, PoJ, Dumoulin, and Smith that is kind of the problem. If everyone is healthy I would actually like to see Dumo press boxed and Smith stay in the lineup. This is very unlikely to occur imo.

Does Vancouver have any big guys with no discernible skill set who take a bunch of dumb penalties? If not I don't know if Minnesota would be willing to trade.

If everyone is healthy I would actually like to see Dumo press boxed and Smith stay in the lineup. This is very unlikely to occur imo. Oh definitely, but it would follow the old trend. That's why with JR in Vancouver it would seem the much more probable version. The big problem is the cap issues and Dumba's contract being up while having just signed Boldy to 7m/aav and needing to resign Addison in the summer too. I think the Addison contract will end up being a smaller hit and short term just because this was his first year in the NHL, and with Brock Faber getting closer Dumba is going to end up on the way out. We already have Reaves, but Boeser is from Minnesota and that's always going to be a thing.

Torts respects his players “staying true to their values” when they’re giant homophobes, but anybody kneeling for racial justice is benched. He’s been a piece of poo poo with awful takes his whole career, dunno why sports journalists fall over themselves writing articles about how good of a guy he is at heart

Activism when you agree with their cause is okay because obviously they are right and shouldn't be censored. Activism when you don't agree is players taking a political stand and should shut up because they are wrong and therefore shouldn't be talking about it In conclusion, Torts is a homophobic rear end in a top hat and a hypocritical piece of poo poo.

xzzy posted:He's also a lousy coach that only gets jobs because he's part of the NHL good ol boys club. eh, he's an OK coach, he demands a lot out of his players but I'm also not sure he's really had a team with enough talent to win much since his Tampa days. I don't even know if he's part of the good 'ol boys club considering how belligerent he is but yeah this provorov stuff is bullshit bottom line is that if you're against this stuff then you are saying you hate LGTBQ+ people and there's no way around it. It's hating people for being the way they are born, not for making a choice in their life. I can think provorov is dumb and lovely for his religious views because it's a choice he's making to believe those things. Thinking someone is bad because their sexuality doesn't match yours is some heinous stuff and there's no respecting that because you hide behind religion or whatever

Like, putting aside gays are people too thing for a sec, the pride jerseys was something Laughton and JVR pushed for and gotten org buy-in from and was basically their baby. Provorov doing this is a huge slap in the face towards Laughton, JVR, and whoever else and says that Provorov doesn't give a poo poo about his teammates at all and its all about Ivan. That is something a professional hockey coach should be real mad about given managing locker room dynamics is kinda Torts' job and the sheer amount of disrespect it causes. If Provorov skipped out on homeless appreciation night when the rest of the team is wearing homeless jerseys, that should be just as a big of deal to Torts because Provorov cannot have come off as more of as a selfish prick as possible
