Gordie Howe is in ICU after another major stroke yesterday.

Seriously, just let him go at this point. His quality of life is going to be beyond horrible after 2 major strokes, back problems and dementia. :(

It's me, I'm the one Sabres fan who's sick of Zemgus Girgensons All-Star Vote talk already.

I don't think anyone is surprised by this

He's very good...he has no business leading the league in voting...and I hate the fact that a very good player is going to become a novelty because of this stupid ballot poo poo.

I don't want him to forever be "OH THAT ALL STAR VOTE GUY" like some better version of Rory Ftizpatrick.

Yes, drafting is the Oilers' biggest problem.


this, but unironically

They've produced a TOTAL of 16 goals from their non-first round picks since 2008. That's lovely depth, and non-assets they could have used in trades to improve the roster. It's a huge problem.

As a comparison, the Blackhawks have gotten 140 goals from those picks.

The forwards being clueless in their own end, not supporting their team mates in transition, and a terrible league worst power play at generating shots are all major problems.


Sure sounds like a team coached by Lindy Ruff...without exceptional goaltending to bail it out.

yeah i'm pumped they're going to miss out on a generational superstar, draft 5th and be saddled with a poo poo coach for 5 more years

It must be maddening to be a Sabres fan. The team's underlying possession numbers are historically awful but they keep bumbling their way to one goal victories and are heading right out of the McEichel race. As a Canes fan, I know the feeling quite well. I really hope my team can fully commit to tanking because I'm loving sick of .500 seasons that result in playoff misses but only drafting in the 7-8th slot.

Yeah, the saving grace is that it's not sustainable based on the numbers.
