One of my favorite Twitter accounts, has a good podcast too.

What a trash call in the Toronto game, goalie interference is a joke.

 

[DazedandConfused]

hahaha what a GI call in Toronna.

Wonder what Babs whines about after this one.

Shhhh! Let's anonymously send in Tim Murray's resume instead!

I endorse this plan. Then, when they hire him, we can trade the Canes Bogosian for [any of their good defensemen] + a pick!

Kypreos is a know nothing no talent bullshit artist. As someone whose all time hero is Ronnie I say he can go get f***ed. f*** him. Hard. With a barbed wire sex toy.

I always seem to blot out how much I dislike the NBC intermission crew. And then I watch them and remember. Bleh.

 

[Chainshot]

NBC's nauseous broadcasting or the Canucks-Coyotes again... hmmm.... Hello West Coast!

 

[CrazyPsycho]

I haven't changed from thinking it has a lot to do with how they came out of the gate. On every night, there is someone in the room with you who another team discarded is motivating. And then seeing what doing that extra little bit of work does every night becomes habit.

Not to make light of it, but the timing of the Las Vegas shooting before the home opener really brought the city and the players together. They haven't looked back.

Do people here think Ovie will break Gretzky's goal record?

 

[Chainshot]

Sharks jump out to a 3-1 lead. Go Sharks, go!

 

[Der Jaeger]

Do people here think Ovie will break Gretzky's goal record?

I don’t. I think it’s a pretty tall order. He’s 32 years old now. Play out why he’d need to do and it’s pretty daunting.

To start, he’d need to continue to play lights out the next three years to get within striking distance. Based on his career, assumes he gets 50 this year, then has two more 50 goal seasons and a 30 goal season over the next three.

Roughly 740 goals at that point.

Then he’d need some Jagr-like health and continued good play over the next 5 years. 30 goals each each and he breaks the record.

I think scoring that well and consistently in your upper 30s is going to be hard.

 

[ZZamboni]

Do people here think Ovie will break Gretzky's goal record?

Nope. I’ll go out and say he won’t even get within 100 goals.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

Coyotes out to a 2-0 lead over the Kings. Coyotes win tonight puts the Sabres back into last place alone.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Compher looks like he will be a good one

 

[sabrebuild]

Do people here think Ovie will break Gretzky's goal record?

He needs the league to be juiced up a bit. The league could remember how fun the post lockout year was with a lot of offense. If the league started calling penalties and creating space I could see Ovie as a pp specialist into his mid 40s.

Just bombs away for 10 minutes a game. Drinking beer on the bench and cigs at intermission.

 

[Endless Ike]

Coyotes out to a 2-0 lead over the Kings. Coyotes win tonight puts the Sabres back into last place alone.

And Sens win.

 

[Moskau]

Imagine if instead of throwing Lemieux into the Kane deal for no reason we instead used him in the RoR deal in place of Compher.

Better yet just imagine if we never made the Kane deal at all.

When I'm angry about the lack of capital Murray left us with.... I look at what Bergevin has done in Montreal, and it gives me comfort.

The Subban and Sergachev trades are franchise destroyers that all of Murray's failures pale in comparison to.

And that's not even counting the small trade fails (Pateryn for Jordie Benn, two 2nds for Andrew Shaw, etc)
