Observant hockey fan. Sabres, Leafs, Caps, but also a little bit of everybody.
The Sabres currently have the following positions ibjured/otherwise not in the lineup:

1C, 1LW, 2C, 2LW, 4RW, 1LHD (usually plays 1RD)

The following have also missed notable amounts of the season: 1RHD, 2LHD, 3LHD (who usually plays 1LD), 1G.

OOOOOF

What camera shows that being a goal?? (Leafs Bruins). It definitely might be but the SN broadcast has shown no conclusive evidence

@hockeyviz.com (a thought inspired by your repost of this gorgeous viz) Have you ever tried heatmapping zone entry paths? Maybe there's certain players who always enter from the left wall and drive deep, some who enter and cut across, some who stop up to make a pass, or maybe it's a f(coaching)?

LMAO "Vladdy when you signed your extension this past summer, is this where you thought this team would be"

Vladdy, tentatively: *looking back and forth* "yyyyyes? yes"

The fact that "racewalks" fits in the NYT Strands today and somehow isn't the spangram is a testament to the genius of the puzzlemaker.

Man unnecessary roughness on sliding QBs is so broken. Bernard had already made his leap towards Maye before Maye started to slide. Literally can't avoid hitting him at that point.

Easton Cowan is playing well, but he won't make the team if he keeps missing the net with his shot.

The team in blue and gold lost... appropriate start to the season.

Players who's stock increased: Mrtka, Kucharcik, Laberge

Players who's stock decreased: Rosén, Östlund, Rosén, Bedkowski, Rosén, Brunet, Rosén

In case you can't tell, I was really unimpressed by Rosén's performance tonight.

Spitballing here over a few posts: could there be something brewing between the Leafs and Sabres? The Leafs have a surprising amount of cap space available right now, and it sounds like they aren't a finalist in the Ehlers sweepstakes so I'm not sure what they're saving it for. (1/x)

Laying in bed thinking about how absolutely cracked the Tavares extension is for the Leafs. His AAV being 3+M lower than Brock Nelson's is insane.

Not happy the Sabres used the pick instead of trading it. But, it does seem they have their top 4 on D sorted out in their heads though:

Dahlin-Mrtka
Power-Kesselring

It was 10 years ago tonight the Sabres drafted Jack Eichel. It was also the night they acquired Ryan O’Reilly and Robin Lehner.

It was 10 years ago and 100 years ago all at the same time.
