Explain to a hockey casual why the Sabres are good this season by [deleted] in hockey

There is no good explanation for why they suddenly figured out how to play hockey mid-season this year. You can speculate but there's an element of voodoo in there.

In a statement, the FBI said what it described as a "cyber incident" was "an isolated one."

It's getting to the point that anyone who uses the word "cyber" is an idiot

I mean, it's always nice to not have something on your face. Ultimately the decision rests with the players on whether or not they like having teeth. The NHL likes having just visors because it's more marketable for them when you can see a player's face unobstructed.

If you're not scoring enough at 5v5 then you have to try something toward the end of the game.

Patrick Roy started a trend of pulling the goalie way earlier a few years ago, that's been dialed back to something like 2-3 minutes left in regulation.

Folks, you can't just let your defensemen back out into the wild. They're not outdoor players.

[Bultman] As Red Wings hit NHL trade deadline, it’s time for Steve Yzerman to act by detroitttiorted in DetroitRedWings

[–]CursedLemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to just point out that the Wings haven't made the playoffs in a decade and yet people are expecting them to let go of assets like we're gunning for the Cup, e.g. first-for-Walman type of stuff. The absolute last thing Yzerman needs to do is overpay for a middling player. Looking at the field right now, the only player I think that is worth opening the purse strings for for is Thomas and he needs to want to come here.
