i haven't been able to watch sports consistently this year due to a really busy schedule this fall/winter, but i've been catching the odd bills/sabres game here or there and haven't seen a winning performance from either team since mid-october

it's taken 30 years, but im starting to hate my sports teams a lot

gently caress dan bylsma btw. i'd take ted nolan back for the remainder of the season if it meant bylsma got fired today

This has been bugging me since the Philadelphia game, but are national broadcasts a bit tilted in favor of large city Eastern teams? In the Blues/Flyers game, they couldn't shut up about how brilliant everyone in the Philly organization was right up until they lost 6-3.

Depends on the network, but NBC Sports occasionally just takes the local feed from one of the teams. Usually when the Flyers are on NBC sports they take the Philly feed, so there's a good chance you were watching the Flyers broadcast.

I think that was a ~Wednesday Night Rivalry~ game, so it should've had neutral announcers technically. But yeah, they do seem to take local announcers occasionally for whatever reason.

this is not only because the wings are boring and lovely, but also because the gimmick of outdoor games have run their course. the NHL oversaturated us with them.

Are these benching supposed to light a fire under the player's rear end to inspire them next game to be better? Because this seems like a bad way to do that

He's been alright! I thought that would sink our season but he's held the fort, and in retrospect paying a tiny price for him was the correct choice over Hammond. His play has dipped a bit the past few games tho.

A Christmas Miracle:

I was gifted a box of Black Diamond hockey cards, a higher end hockey card. $200 for six cards.

Of the six cards, one was an Auston Matthews patch out of 99, and another was an Auston Matthews autograph (redemption) out of 35.

A Christmas Miracle.
