I’d probably take kucherov but that’s just because I like winning Stanley cups. You dudes might prioritize other things like skating all around all zip zip zipparoo.

The Sabres picked up where they left off to (mostly) dunk on the Red Wings and win their fifth game in a row. They’re 10-3-2 in their last 15. Unfortunately they lost 8 straight before that which kinda screwed them!

If they somehow beat Boston tomorrow to extend their winning streak to six, I will be all in on believing they will make the playoffs.

The zero goals thing for Blais is just a piece of it. I know he wasn’t exactly an offensive superstar before his ACL injury, but post injury he has been completely useless at the NHL level. Beyond even attempting to score a goal, the things you’d expect from a Blais-type player- skating fast north to south, throwing big hits, digging in corners, 4th liner poo poo, he can’t do.

The thing that baffles me the most though is that he was touted as a big agitator/pest and he hasn’t done any of that, which on a team with a deadly PP would actually give him some usefulness. Unlike everything else, I don’t see how his injury prevents him from being a prick that gets under opposing players skin. Maybe Gallant is telling him not to do that? Which would make the teams evaluation of him even more mind boggling than it already is. Just an absolute shitshow, just cut your loses and trade him for a 5th and move on. Pretty much the entirety of 4th line plugs NYR has down in Hartford would be a better option than Blais at this point.

I don’t know why he’d get a cool mask done, it’s not like they’re going to play him. Maybe get a couple games? He’s one of three goalies with some sort of NTC, so that’s fun.

E: I should say that I find it disturbing that they use the refrain from Lithium as the goal song. Completely missing the point of the song where Lithium is the update to Marx’s opiate of the masses, and the song itself is about a guy who lost his girlfriend trying to find god before killing himself. Just not a great choice for a goal celebration.

It has a chorus of Cobain yelling "yeaaaaah", is instantly recognizable as from Seattle, and is way better than basically any other local option. Like would you rather have a Macklemore song as the goal tune? No thanks.

Could have gone with Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam? There are plenty of other options from the same decade as Nirvana even before you get to Macklemore.

I pitched Wolves in the Throne Room - Astral Blood to anyone who would listen but could not win over the hearts and minds. I get that Lithium is an odd choice based on the meaning of the song but I'll contend that there weren't really any great ones, and for the 99% of the people in the arena who don't know anything about it it's a good enough song to get up and yell lets go Kraken. No one wants to hear loving Spoonman every time a goal gets scored, and I'm not about to get up and cheer while _any_ macklemore song.

Posse's on Broadway should have been in the running but I could see it getting weeded out pretty quick.

Looks like Sullivan has finally admitted that Carter at 3c is a problem. Hopefully Carter at wing is less of an issue. I know they won't scratch him so this is the best they can hope for in terms of how to use him. Dumo getting demoted is also encouraging.
