I don't know if they'll make the playoffs, but one team that is better than their record is the Buffalo Sabres. I saw the Lightning play them last Thursday. The Sabres lead 1-0 through two periods and then the Lightning finally tied it in the third period and then a scoreless overtime, but the Lightning prevailed in the shootout. I was very impressed with the Sabres goalie Hutton.

Last night was some game, the outdoor show in Philly. I turned it off with about 8 minutes to go and Penguins up 3-1, can't stand the Penguins. I couldn't believe this morning's paper, Flyers came back and tied it and then won in overtime.

I've been wearing this on the golf course the last two weeks.

Buffalo had a 10 game win streak early in the season and were in the playoff hunt and then realized they're only on year 5 of their 8 year re-build.
Their previous GM ****ed them over with Chiarelli level bad trades and it will be at least 3 years until they can be considered a threat in the Eastern Conference.

BTW - I hate the city of Buffalo. When it's not covered in snow, it's covered in pigeon shit. It's an ugly and depressing place to drive though let alone live in, however, I do respect their hockey fans. They are tried and true and deserve better.
Only 3 more years 'till they lose in the Cup finals to Seattle.
Tampa sucks too.

A friend of mine was talking about going to Canada for a bit to get into the hockey scene in Toronto and Montreal.... and it got me thinking, if Buffalo wasn't such a shithole (from what I've heard), it would be perfect for a hockey fan who wanted to travel to other hockey cities...... easy drives to Toronto, Montreal, Pittsburgh, NYC, while still having a team in town.

But... you'd have to live in Buffalo.

Buffalo is really nice for about 45 days of the year

GloryDayz · 02-27-2019, 10:53 PM

Was a good hockey night. Stanley Cup and pond hockey..

Heh, that's how I think of KC... that one week in May where it's not 40 degrees in the morning but not 90 in the afternoon, and a little time in the Fall.

Well, maybe more like 60.

Allen better work out some more of his issues if he wants to stay at this level. That shorthanded goal was just stupid.

I feel bad for him, but at some point he's got to get it worked out or the Blues need to find a better backup to B.

Discuss Thrower · 03-01-2019, 09:27 PM

Jake 'Alex Smith' Allen.

It's ****ing uncanny.

I enjoyed this tweet last night right after that goal

Is Jake Allen a good goaltender? pic.twitter.com/RSyMVvfuEL

That's too bad, but after THAT shorthanded goal, along with the other struggles he's had recently, he's taking up a spot that some other kid might have earned a shot at.

**Bearcat** · 04-01-2019, 06:15 PM

NBC is seriously obsessed with the Blues, Preds, and Wild this year.... along with the usual Caps, Rangers, and Flyers.

**Bearcat** · 04-01-2019, 06:57 PM

At this point I'd rather see the Yotes make the playoffs over the Avalanche... I could at least catch a playoff game live instead of half-assed watching the Avalanche fail in the playoffs in the same way they've been failing (in general) for years.

At least this year they're going in on a hot streak. Seems like every other year it's been the opposite. I'll also be very curious to see if they try and give a rookie (Makar) his first NHL start in the playoffs or if they just save him for next year.

What a weird season for the Avs. Started out insanely hot. Then looked like shit for two months. And now they're hot again.

Guess we'll see what the playoffs hold.
