  1. Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

  3. I just spent 30 minutes at work thinking of the perfect status update, but I couldn't come up with one.

  4. People all over social media are loving the Sabres' 50th anniversary 3rd jersey...

      I dig it. I really adore the Canucks redone stick-in-rink too, but the texturing on the buffalo jersey is fantastic. The gold also looks pretty cool.

  5. James Neal's contract is worse than LEs. Let that sink in.

      BananaMash

      Lucic, Neal, and Eriksson form the holy trinity of Canadian bad contracts.

       

      We have the best one of the three though, so suck it Alberta.

      James "Milan Lucic but Worse" Neal.

       

      Signing declining power forwards is seemingly always a horrendous move.

      Watching that loser Gaudreau not even make eye contact with people sent me into maniacal laughter.

  8. Gudbranson as one of the +/- leaders on the Pens, in the playoffs....

  9. What if New Jersey offered Taylor Hall for Quinn Hughes? Would you make that deal? I wouldn't.

    1. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      Not in a million years.

       

      Hall is definitely a top winger in the league but we absolutely need a high end puck moving defenseman more. Hughes is a huge part of the core going forward and I'd argue a lot of our success is dependent on how he develops. Someone with his skillset can turn your entire team around if you have the right pieces around him.

       

      Its not even a player value argument to me so much as it goes against prioritized positional need. We do need a top six winger but not at the expense of our only franchise potential defender.

  10. I can see Benning trying to jump up to the 4th spot.  Don't know who to package with the 10th pick though.

    1. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      I dont think Byram makes it past the Hawks.

       

      They need young defensemen probably most of all.

  11. I wonder if the best option to plug the hole on the right side D is looking overseas. Would Nick Ebert be an option? https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/45972/nick-ebert

    24 YO RHD American born good offensive output in the SHL speed and good shot. ticks alot of boxes. 

    1. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      Yeah, I think he ended up getting picked close to (if not) last.

  12. This is the draft where I'd rather not get 1st. Kakko is better for our team's needs, but it'd be so much fun to see the Hughes bros play for the same team. Hope for 2nd, and let a different team make that decision.

    1. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      I think that Kakko is going to firmly be the better NHL player, so I don't really disagree.

       

      Without the boost players who play C always get, I don't think Hughes would go before him.

  14. How is Colorado only barely in a playoff spot when they have such a beastly top line?

     

    Where are they really deficient? 

    1. BananaMash

      Almost everywhere else?

       

      They sort of remind me of the WCE Canucks, just with better goaltending.

  15. “They were hitting, holding, cutting, grabbing, clutching, hitting,” Nurse fumed. “It’s been going on all year. I do not understand why they are letting everyone play one of the best players in the league so physically. I do not understand it.”

    Oh Darnell how dare people actually hit McDavid lol

      Its tragic when you're a one player team, people will defend that one player extra hard. Crying little babies. It's not like he got hurt.

  16. Anyone have a good podcast to recommend? Any topic is ok, but hockey is high up there.

    1. BananaMash

      Secret Skin by Open Mike Eagle is a really good podcast if you want to listen to various underground music acts talk about what their careers are like scraping by to be able to survive off of art. It's really peaceful and wholesome usually as well.

    1. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      He is absolutely one of the worst defensemen I've had the unfortunate pleasure of watching since like...Alberts?

       

      I liked Alberts though and he was used in a spot role.

  20. I wonder how well the Canucks would be doing had they been the team that picked up Jeff Skinner and Carter Hutton (or another good free agent goalie) in the off-season and not the Sabres.  Hutton is on fire recently and Skinner is 2nd in the league in goals.  Skinner would have matched well with Bo and the Canucks could definitely use a better netminder.

    1. BananaMash

      That being said, I love seeing the Sabres do well. I got a big soft spot for that team because Maxim Afinogenov used to be one of my favorite players to watch for some reason lol

      Our defense would have found a way to ruin Hutton.

       

      Our goalies aren't great, but they look even worse than they really are behind this teams disgusting defense zone strategies.

  22. Finally heard some tunes by the late XXXTENTACION. Actually not bad stuff.

    1. BananaMash

      I followed X too and I have a completely different perception of him. He was a bad dude. Broken? Yes. But that doesn't excuse anything. It doesn't mean he deserved to die either. Unless it was confirmed fabricated, he had a history of sexual assault threats. He asked a girl to pick which cooking instrument he would shove inside of her, including a barbecue fork or scraper or something like that.

       

      There was also some question as to whether or not he actually donated to the charities that were claimed, but I digress. I don't support abusive humans, or I do my best not to. Unfortunately, his life was taken from he before he truly got to turn it around. I still can't support that sort of thing, morally, though.

       

      I can overlook the changes, because personally, it's not enough to outweigh the garbage things he did. That's me though, and I'm not saying that anyone else has to feel similarly. But to me, it feels little different than making an excuse for 6ix9ine or R. Kelly (though the latter is arguably significantly worse).

      Too bad he was a massive woman abuser. Sexually, physically and psychologically. He definitely had a unique sound, but was a total garbage human.

      Jim Benning is gonna have to lace them up and only go out on the ice for 2nd PP QB duty.

      That's 'cause your body is dependant on it and you're having withdrawals lmao.

       

      I recently quit caffeine because my intake was above safe levels and my doctor gave me crap. It's been two weeks and I'm still getting withdrawal symptoms.
