he got his vagina tightened

It's called a bussy

But I'm being serious. I might have the same injury in my neck right now. Was curious if he was being a complete female dog or not.

It's interesting you think Olofsson looks bigger then 5'11 and 180 considering he plays smaller than that.

How many times does he win a board battle?

Lately...a few

Girard is playing 21 minutes a night.

Does Miller even begin to move the needle?

I doubt he does.

I did say start
He would be girard replacement
He was sent back to Colorado for further test
Which usally means he's out awhile

The price would be high

RHD is a definite need, but I'd rather not send multiple assets away for one, which would likely be needed for someone like Girard or Theodore.

This is correct. Backy and Tom Wilson evened things out to Malkin, Letang, etc. Those years where Ovie was dropping 60 goals with Semin and Mike Green is where Sid, Geno, MaF just ate them up in the playoffs. In those games though, over a couple seasons and multiple playoff series, Ovie was a monster while Green and Semin might as well have been wearing Penguins jerseys.

There's simply no criticizing Sid's game though. The guy has been HoF great every friggen season and playoffs of his career. He can center the first line on any team ever assembled in any debate.

Braun is a purely defensive defenseman.

His age scares me, but that is the avenue the Sabres are going to likely need to take.

Selfishly, it would be fun to see Gudbranson as the RHD for Power for a couple of seasons.

jack's talent isn't to be questioned, the sh!t between the ears is a completely different story and it effects him on the ice and, obviously, off the ice as well...

jack's history in games with big meaning:

2015 ncaa championship game boston u vs. providence = L 4-2
--jack echl, 1 assist
--providence got goals from mark jankowski and anthony florentino (buf 2013, 143rd overall)

2016 McEichel I, March, 2016 = L, 2-1 OT
--echl, zero points, minus-1 rating
--mcjesus 2 goals

edit: disco dan totally missing the moment by not having a mceichel opening face and instead opting for the king of larrys, lars larry

2022 jack's post-trade return to buffalo on thursday = L 3-1
--echl, zero points minus-1 rating
--two players from the trade with goals, peyton krebs the opening goal, alex tuch with the empty-netter for the hollywood finish


not saying jack's lack of success will go on forever, but this is how it has played out so far

- Michael Pachla


Spot on Pach's.
You can extend that to other, international big stage games...he underperformed vs his peer group.
While McJesus and Matthew's were playing well, he did not post big production numbers.
I always wondered how he would perform in the PO's ... never got the opportunity to see.

I liked watching Jack play alot...as you said, between the ears is a very immature person.

the thing about brossoit and anderson is that while the former has a better gaa (2.78 vs. 3.01) anderson has a slightly better sv% (.904 vs. .899,) he has just one less win (9 vs. 10) playing on a struggling at best sabres team and he's making $1.5M less
- Michael Pachla


Good post,

Although, trusting Anderson's age and health is a bit risky.

Maybe lv keeps brossoit too for insurance

So yeah not trying to attention-whore but I got a CT-scan last night and I have a herniated disk in the same spot as Jack Eichel, can't even make this up and I have to say...

He absolutely could have played through the injury. A little/a lot of numbness at night/in the morning in the arms, a little discomfort in the neck and shoulder, but rest and physical therapy helps alleviate the symptoms and pain killers/muscle relaxers helps with the swelling.

Yeah, you could probably still play golf, like Eichel did. Yes you could go 4-wheeling. Like Eichel did. Yeah, you could carry someone on your shoulders, like Eichel did.

Yes, you could do rails of cocaine off a hooker's ass, like Eichel did.

You could absolutely play hockey through this injury. It 100% could have been resolved through PT in the off-season. If you didn't play golf, go 4-wheeling, carry people on your shoulders and blow cocaine off Erin Basil's ass like Eichel did.

And I'm about 12 years older than Eichel. And I am being pushed to MRI's and surgery. And I still think I'm too young for surgery.

So there's that.

Screw that masshole.

If RHD is a need why are you bringing up two left handed defensemen?
