With an average effort, we lose. Doesn't matter who we play, we don't have the players or the coaching to beat anybody without something out of the ordinary happening.

Buffalo is about to break out for the past 8 years. I hope we can avoid their misery

They are like going on 12 years of a rebuild, well multiple rebuilds, and are currently a couple games under .500, 2nd to last in their division.

Verbeek gets 2 more years from me before I turn on him.

I still don't think they would be this bad this season if they were even close to healthy. The injuries did them in and it was like key guys out, not middle of the line up guys.

Buffalo is a disaster because the owners pushed out coaches and GM’s after every disappointment, which is why Verbeek should get some time.

Buffalo is also a disaster because the star players from the first rebuild forced their way out of town because the team was such a tire fire of a constant rebuild, which is why I’m a bit jaundiced on Verbeek setting back the rebuild a second time with the Drysdale trade.

Yay, rebuilds

 

[Arthuros]

I'm gonna love this.

Heart palpitations, smashed furniture, ruined TVs, tantrums, screaming, the whole lot, the classic symptoms of love.

Oh, sorry, got that mixed up with hate. I'm gonna hate this.

 

[GermanRocket7]

Ah, shit, here we go again...

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Battle of Les Miserables, may the worse team win.

 

[MallardMan]

I don’t see on BSSC. I do see listed as Hulu/ESPN+.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I think we win

Buffalo is like the crown jewel of constantly disappointing it’s fan base

Glad to have someone besides Fowler and LaCombe on the PP.

It's also Angels Night, because of course it is. As bad as the Ducks are, I still like and care deeply about this franchise.

 

[ADHB]

Awesome! So we’ll get to see him for about 20 seconds every PP after Silf and Strome waste the first 75%!

Get your "Fire Brown" signs ready. lol.

I feel that entire unit got punished because of Mac's lazy ass attempt to get back on a SHG opportunity a few games back.

 

[Ducks DVM]

It’s funny that we expect any PP tonight.

Having said that, just changed my goal guess…

 

[AngelDuck]

Called the Zellweger call up. It appears that the Ducks management team is very high on him, especially with the Drysdael trade

 

[anezthes]

Let's hope he doesn't break anything.

Good luck, kid.

 

[Arthuros]

...You had my interest, now you have my attention.

We have fallen so low on expectations it's not even wins, but it's PP opportunities we are hoping for, lol.

I didn't want to cause a big stir last game but the Ducks got screwed last game once again. No way was that a penalty on Vaak, or even Mac's one.
