Around the NHL: 2024-25 Season, Are You Not Entertained?

[ValJamesDuex]

The Wings are dogshit and Timothy Dexter'ing their way to some wins doesn't change anything and they aren't winning shit anytime soon. And we all know Pegula is a clueless bumpkin but if you seriously think he wouldn't have jumped at the chance to sign Kane and fill our half empty arena you couldn't be more wrong. And if you don't think the GM who got his job for his ability to say "Yes Mr Pegula" tried to sign him you couldn't be more wrong.

I will say this: if his decision to not come home was driven by a desire to not be around "family and friends I would not mess with" and the potential complications it might lead to then it's far more understandable and I would strike my prior comments from the record.

Don't back up your "Act" with any facts. Nice! Time to go back to Giraffe's.

Looking at how Nashville has come out of the gate and it boggles the mind.

I’d love to get Fabbro from them, finally.

That would be a way to balance things out, but who goes the other way? Sammy? Or is it just to change joker?

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Without the trade, Samuelsson would be in our top 4 all year.

Good point ... I think we have a serviceable top 4 with Byram in there. Samuelsson likely would have tanked one of those pairings in both possession and actual goals against.

Basically if this team could start producing on the PP, they're very solid even with a terrible second line. If they can somehow get both the PP and Line 2 going to some capacity, I think we might have a legit shot at playoffs here.

Jokiharju. I just don't see the fit.

I think Samuelsson will be a long term asset on a lower pairing.

 

[Uberpecker]

I'm all for getting Fabbro but trading Joki for him seems like way too lateral a move. We don't even know if Fabbro is any better than Joki.

My son’s team got group tickets to the Charlotte Checkers vs the Bridgeport Islanders. I’ll check out some potential future Sabres.

Former Sabre Rasmus Asplund is one the ice tonight for Charlotte.

@sabremike i also can report a mini-giraffe sighting

 

[TnaBuffalo]

And of course that fake phony fraud Patty Kane steals it for the Wings. I have a billion times more respect for Jack Eichel than I do that guy and people will cheer him like he's a returning hero on Saturday, makes me sick.

From awhile back but, you'll be happy to know there was no Sabre fans cheering him. Was there live (great seats at redline, thank you son inlaw)

Dalpe is there too.

Except when he missed on that sitter at the end that would've tied it?

There was a good contingent of Red Wing fans right in that corner

 

[Der Jaeger]

Dalpe is there too.

A bunch of former Amerks too.

Mini-giraffe status: stapled to the bench after a dumb penalty. @sabremike probably feels this disturbance in the force

Matthews tied the game late and then gave it away in OT.

I’m just going to say it. Guy is one of the best players in the world…but if I was on the team going through some tough times and the captain is the guy who won’t get his hands dirty and smiles after starting shit while the rest of the team has to jump in for him…I’d think we were not going to be getting out of that trouble any time soon.

That OT giveaway was inexcusable.

Just saw the highlight.

What did Matthews see out of the corner of his eye that convinced him that THAT was a good idea? Goodness.

 

[kirby11]

I hate the islanders as much as the next person, but the league’s FLA favoritism is insane.

The refs let a goal stand last night in a sequence where, in a span of about 25 seconds, Tkachuk ripped Varlamov’s stick out of his hands, cross checked him, and then shoved him out of the way in the crease to get to a loose puck behind him. Somehow none of that was goalie interference

Watching Steve scream about it this morning over my coffee.

I enjoyed the PIT/VAN highlights.

That 1:05 when the wheels came off the geriatric bus were fun in real time.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Watching the pens flail pisses me off knowing we had that one stolen by the refs

 

[munkyhead8]

This is wild.

Not all that wild with under 10 games played. If it’s still this bunched up after February, that would be truly wild. It’s possible.

Look at New Jersey, they haven't had the goaltending they did overseas either.
