I’ll be ok with the game cuz of that 1st.
Just showed up, thanks for the 1st period recap.
Sounds like they’ve been “hanging in there” in the 2nd. If so, that’s a big improvement over a lot of other 2nd periods.One year, $1M for Texier signing with Montreal
The first Domino?
Glad to see Dickinson back.
This will be one of the toughest tests of the season so far.
Win or lose, they have to play 60 minutes and try to show they at least belong on the ice with the Avs.A win? Icing on the cake.
hockey/sport is an escape for the majority of fans
This is true.
A long time ago, I learned to be conscious of the fact that this is a pastime, something to enjoy.
I never became a fair weather fan or bandwagon jumper.
However, I stopped habitually making myself miserable by watching something that irritated me.
I turned off games many times these past 2 seasons when they were making me angry instead of happy.However, there’s more to this issue: constantly, excessively airing one’s grievances on a public forum like this
makes it more difficult for others to enjoy what is supposed to be an escape.
I should not have to apologize for “venting” about what frustrates me, any more than anyone else.
I have just as much right to get frustrated by the ref complaints, as others do to get frustrated by the refs.I’m sure there is a variety of people on this board. (although I think we might skew a bit to the “older” side, not sure)
Different business careers and industries.
Maybe even a range from a CEO of a company all the way down to a grade school janitor. Who knows.
And personal: long time marriages, divorced, never or not yet married, who knows.
No children, one child, or a ton of kids. Probably a variety of personal backgrounds also.What I really *would* like to know is, who, if anyone reading or commenting on this board
can say that any notable part of their success in life came from complaining about things that are out of their control.Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
Please respond with a story about how bitching about something *you have no control over* produced something significant for you.
I will also like to read some stories detailing how “feeling sorry for myself” produced a tangible, positive outcome.Perfect 3+3+3 for the Sabres.
Unlike last night, this is not a game you can learn from or that builds character.
You toss it in the dumpster and forget it ever happened.🤘
I’m surprised the Sabres have not had several “too many men” penalties
considering how eager they all must be to get back on the ice.I know I am not the only one that watches games that do not involve the Hawks, Mackinnon, McDavid, Hughes (often injured) get hacked and whacked in prime scoring positions with no penalty called.
Interesting about head hits too, I remember on the old board when Hagel ran Barkov with a direct head hit in the playoffs without the puck and Barkov was called soft.So many fans of every team in every sport are convinced that the refs/umpires/officials hate their team and want to screw them over.
