Seriously, the culture in Buffalo isn't just broken, it's completely shattered. They gotta get Pegula the f*** outta there.
And of course Norris is doing what he does best--sitting out injured.

Did i say that?
No, bring them on with their best line-up. Best-on-Best.
I just dont care what DeBoer says or believe in anything that comes from that guy. I fully expect Heiskanen to play. Thats it.
And if Bednar and his team still hasnt learned anything and still is not able to counter DeBoer, what else there is to say......

IMO if Bednar isn't able to beat Dallas and DeBoer this playoffs, then he needs to go. CMac has given him the best roster he's had since 2022, mortgaged the entire future minus Gulyayev, Nabokov, Ivan, Behrens, and Prischepov, AND could potentially get Gabriel Landeskog back for an insane emotional boost let alone on-ice boost (I'll believe it when I see it, though).
If he loses to a Dallas team with THAT defensive corps, there are no excuses. He's got to go.

It'll be a moot point anyway--Bednar most assuredly will be fired if he doesn't make it past the first round. Guaranteed.
If he loses in the second round I still think it's likely, but it'll probably depend on how they exit at that point.
If he makes it to the conference final or final, then he's safe, obviously if he makes it all the way then it's a guarantee he'll stay.

32 Thoughts: A tax balance proposal as CBA talks begin
As CBA talks begin next month, Elliotte Friedman has an idea for how the league and players' union could tackle the income tax issue.
There is, that translates to "readings". The base word is "lukema" = "a reading".
"The absence of Miro Heiskanen reveals shocking readings..."

I'd imagine they'd play at Ball Arena, but where would they practice? It seems like the Avs have hard enough time with that dinky rink they practice at, I couldn't imagine that complex could handle another team coming in could they?

Okay, everyone knows I was f'in older than dirt before I started to play hockey. It never occured to me to play anyway other than left-handed (as I am indeed left handed).
It seems like RD is one of the hardest positions to fill, yet like 90% of the world is right-handed. Why is this?

The answer is pretty fascinating. Many players are Canadians and for decades Canadian hockey coaches pressured right-handed kids to play left-handed. It's no longer true but now you have all these left-handed dads that are showing their kids to play left-handed and so on.

@expatriatedtexan This is part of it. A fair amount is just instinct too. As a right hander that shoots left, no one ever told me to it’s just what felt right. It’s also how I hold a broom and a shovel with my right hand at the top but I golf and bat right
I cant tell them apart enough to be sure but while both Sedins shoot left, one of them (I suspect Daniel) is left handed and the other is right handed

It's just something that has always fascinated me.
The entire world sometimes feels like it is built completely against left-handed people. I mean, since the world started caring about ergonomics, it's been impossible to find a pair of scissors that fit in my hand that aren't turkey shears.
Just never thought to really ask about the apparent "discrepancy" in LD vs RD in the NHL before while compaired to world averages of left vs right handedness.

Canadians also usually pick up a hockey stick first as kids, and without much strength naturally use their dominant hand on top to control it, while Americans usually pick up a baseball bat first, and get told to have their dominant hand the other way to swing.

This was a pretty interesting video i seen a few months ago discussing some of the nuances between stick handedness in the NHL. Just watch it at faster speed if you don't want to watch a 20 min video.
