I think I'm not used to having losing records, cause we never really have. But it makes me hyper focus on just how many opponents we have that also have losing records.

Anyway, @Andy99 said we're like 1-3-1 in upstate NY. And uh.. Yeah.. Good luck.
 
We just signed an undrafted kid out of Boston

I hate going into games knowing they should lose but hoping they don’t.
 
Easy victory putting their current 9th from bottom standing in peril.
 
Losing is the best outcome. Hopefully TDL assets get some points to build value, that's that. /shrug

Lose, get a top-5 pick, fire Sullivan into the sun. Move on.
 
Only 4 less than Sid this year playing with dumpster dives 🤷‍♂️

His shot is cooked and we both know it. I love the guy but that's kinda that.

He can't even put 'em in wide open nets anymore.

EDIT: Dude can clearly still do stuff out there. His vision, ability to dish and play through traffic is still there. He could wrap up his career by being a bit of a Joe Thorntonov. But that would require at least one linemate that works with what he still does... like a natural goal scorer. But that ain't happenin' so just try to enjoy the occasional one that floats in off his Cooperalls IDK.

I think it was Rossi who wrote in one of his articles about how it's inevitable that Sid will pass Mario in goals and like...I dunno. Points? Sure. Goals....I don't know. Sid's quite a ways behind Mario still. 86 goals to tie him.

That's a lot of goals at the current goalscoring pace Sid has been at and his goalscoring figures to continue to decline as he gets older.

I think Sid's passing and vision will hold on a bit longer so I'm fairly sure he'll pass Mario in points but I'm not convinced he gets by him in goals unless he's going to play into his 40s.

I was talking about Malkin lol but I agree.
