scoor moor than them

Every game between them has been close, they just gotta bring it.


Si, I know, my brilliant analysis should be on espn hockey coverage

Edit; some extra days will only let Bennett’s hand/wrist heal more fully

You guys should spank Boston(if they get past Toronto). They really arent great.

Solid defensively, great goaltending, very underwhelming offense IMO.

Send him my way! 😄

Just tell him we are collaborating on a new AI capability and using the motion of hockey players to test the results

Got a lot to watch still lol, just looking at highlights tbh. Need to watch some full games. Two things have me thinking:

Smooth skater and the feet are always moving, especially in transition or on the forecheck, so I can see why he's considered tenacious.

I'm going back and forth on his shot though. Sometimes I think he's got a hard shot, but the release looks a little wonky. Scores a lot off of unopposed shots from the high slot, which is both good and bad. Good he can score from there, but not great that a lot of his goal highlights are similar. It's that and toe drag snap shots off the rush.

If he were 6'1" he would be ranked higher.
I like his motor, the fact he has competed against men and done well. He may be guilty of trying to be a one man show though.

Saw a blog yesterday talking about the Sabres, they were basically saying we should save money and protect our ELCs, try to make the playoffs, and go hard after Rantanen or Draisaitl next offseason. How much does everyone hate this idea?

You think? Thought I'd heard that but some plastic surgeon came out and kind of disproved some of those theories.

He always wore 12, what's 1+2? 3. Baby killing, adrenochrome using Satanist.

I would too if he paid me to say that

He had work done, there’s absolutely no way he didn’t have some chiseling done, especially with a supermodel wife.

All celebrities get work done. They all lie about it. You have Halle Berry, Beyonce’ and the entire Jackson Family talking about how proud they are of their black features yet they all butchered their noses and somehow reverse tanned.

So many breast implants, tummy tucks, face lifts, injections, supplements COCAINE, body sculpting, there’s not a single one that is 100% natural.

Well, actually, you can’t get into a Hollywood baby smorgasbord unless you have gone under the knife.

Beane talked about Allen's involvement in the draft. Entertaining to hear. Involved a little, but has more fun doing mock drafts and knows he doesn't have the full picture on anyone.

They have no chance of landing that caliber of player unless the team takes a positive step forward this year and they don't have a chance to take a positive step forward unless they spend on the roster. Upgrade the roster this year and then make room next offseason if that seems remotely plausible. No more waiting for pipe dreams (i.e. Kane this past year). They need to focus on reasonable, incremental progress this offseason which will require spending money

You can have a new roof or nachos, you can’t have both.

Bills all-time great and NFL Hall of Fame receiver Andre Reed revealed Sunday on X (Twitter) that Coleman reached out to him for advice after being drafted. Reed, who played 15 years with the Bills and made seven Pro Bowls, is already impressed with what he's seeing from the youngster.

"(Keon Coleman) already texted me about how to make major moves in Buffalo," Reed tweeted. "He’s not playing around. He respects those who came before him. Sign of a guy that’s all in, humble, ready to work. Balls in the air he goes and gets it. Open like 7eleven."

Avs scored 28 goals in 5 playoff games.

Against the best goalie in the world no less.

Lots of speed and skill. I hope Kevyn was watching and doesn’t lose the plot
