I never thought the Bills would trade up for a WR in the 1st when they have Diggs and Davis. I think Davis is going to have a huge breakout season. Personally, I want him in the #2 Wr role.

Wow, wtf was that interview. Wonder what he meant when he said a lot is going through his mind but he’s not going to go there? He seemed pissed off.

I don’t know why the saints would be trading up for a QB to this spot, unless they thought Washington was going to take one, or Pittsburgh was coming up to get one. I’m thinking it’s not a QB.

Just got the chance to watch this. It was really good! I love this team so much! So many genuinely likable guys, and the team chemistry really does seem unique. Such a tight-knit group. And I Love how competitive they all are! McDermott and Beane have done such a phenomenal job of building the culture here.

We just found out last night that Vegas is missing the playoffs. So to expect people not to do a bit of gloating barely 12 hours later, after everything Eichel said+did, I think is unrealistic. And we still don’t even know for 100% sure we get the VGK 1st round pick until after the draft lottery. They only have a 0.5% chance of moving up but if they do we don’t get their draft pick this year. So the Eichel saga isn’t even closed yet. I think more fans will move on once it’s officially behind us. But I don’t see anything wrong with fans getting their shots in today.

Vegas baby. Vegas! Officially eliminated. 😂 twice, actually. Dallas got the game to OT and Vegas lost in the shootout. Oh, and Eichel with a great assist tonight on Chicago’s 3rd goal Definitely don’t miss his terrible no look backhand passes 😂 plus another miss in the shootout.

Yeah he’s fine. He still has the scars, and some damage to his calf muscle but otherwise he’s ok. I don’t know what that guy did to the dog before I rescued him. The dog was pretty young though. I want to say he was maybe a couple months old.

I used to always believe that - there’s no bad dogs, just bad owners. But then I had an experience that totally changed my mind. 15-20 years ago I rescued a pit bull puppy when I was living in Florida. The owner was bragging about how he was going to starve it to death and I took it home on the spot (and reported him, but nothing ever happened). The dog was great when he was a puppy. Obedient, well behaved. Then as he got a bit older he started to show aggression over random things. He’d growl when I fed him. He’d lay by my bed and growl at anyone who came near me at night. Stuff like that. But he never bit anyone. Then I moved back to NY and brought the dog with me. I moved back home and my parents had 2 dogs. He got along with the female dog fine but not the male dog so we had to keep them separated. We also got my dog neutered. Everything really started to change after that. He started getting very aggressive. Trying to bite people. He even bit me, pretty bad. And tried to bite me a few other times where I narrowly got away. He had never shown any aggression toward me before. And it was so unpredictable. Then one day he was laying out in the living room and my dad walked by. The dog just snapped for no apparent reason and viciously attacked my dad in the leg. Bit his leg so badly that the bone was showing. We Had to call an ambulance and my dad was in the hospital for 3-4 days. It wasn’t just one bite either. He didn’t stop attacking until I heard the commotion and ran up + grabbed the dog. As soon as I grabbed him he snapped right back out of it and was looking at me + wagging his tail and was no longer aggressive. The town showed up (paramedics notified them) and took the dog to be put down. That ate at me for years and years. I always felt like it was something I did wrong. I am sure I somehow contributed to the problem but I don’t know how. I never abused him or anything even remotely close. I treat my animals very well. Ive owned all sorts of different dog breeds. I’ve had dog(s) my entire life and never had a problem with any other dog breed. No other dog I’ve ever owned has even shown a hint of aggression. Needless to say I’ll never own another pitbull. edit - I just wanted to add that I don’t think all pit bulls are bad or anything. I have friends and family with pits that are great dogs. But I could never own another. I’m too fearful of them and dogs + fear don’t always mix well. also, sorry for derailing this thread probably wasn’t the best place to tell this story 😂

Eichel has completely disappeared the last 6 games when his team needed him most. Last game he didn’t even have a single shot on net during regulation. https://deadspin.com/maybe-jack-eichel-just-isn-t-that-guy-1848837660 Same thing happened back in 2019/20 when the Sabres were in the playoff race coming out of the trade deadline. The Sabres went on a 6 game losing streak coming off the trade deadline and Eichel was totally invisible. No goals. No assists. Sabres missed the play-in round (the year Covid ended the season) by like a single point or something like that. No, not automatic. Adams had to agree to it. Definitely pretty standard these days but I agree I thought it should’ve been unprotected. Vegas can only move up 10 spots if they win. But either way we wouldn’t get their pick if they win one of the draft lottery spots. Dallas still needs 1 point, or another VGK loss to lock in their playoff birth. Vegas would need to win out and Dallas would have to lose out for Vegas to make the playoffs. Dallas plays Anaheim and Arizona. Vegas plays Chicago and STL. I’m feeling pretty good about it but Im not celebrating yet. You know, Being a Buffalo fan and all… Murphy’s law. lol

😂

this one wasn’t as bad as some of the others as far as pushing the limits of the forward momentum rule. But it’s still BS. A goalie doesn’t really stand a chance on an attempt like this. I really feel like they either need a shot clock on SO attempts or to send a defenseman to chase the shooter after he crosses the blue line.

😢 Canada is having a national funeral for him on May 3rd. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/guy-lafleur-national-funeral-may-3-1.6429306

Yep. It all comes down to that game for Vegas. If they win they will be 1 point behind Dallas for the final wildcard spot. If they lose that’s pretty much it for them. Right now: LA sits in the 3rd playoff spot in the Pacific with 96pts. Nashville is in the 1st wildcard spot with 94pts. Dallas is in the final wildcard spot with 93pts. Vegas is chasing with 90pts. LA has 2 games left. The rest have 3. If Dallas wins tomorrow I don’t think Vegas can catch them. It’s more/less a 4 point game. Dallas would be at 95pts with a win tomorrow. Vegas would only have 2 games left. If Dallas wins in regulation I think that would be it for Vegas. At this point the 3rd spot in the pacific looks like it’s the Kings. If LV happens to make the playoffs, they’ll likely face Colorado in the 1st round. If they lose in the 1st round their pick would only be a spot or two higher than if they missed the playoffs completely. So even if they make it we still have decent odds at getting a pick in the teens. Yeah, he will either win you OT with an amazing play or lose you OT with a horrible play (usually a very ill advised backhand pass right to the other team, or drop pass at the blue line with no one back to protect).

one of the things I love about hockey!

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/pierre-luc-dubois-long-term-future-jets/ sounds like Robin Lehner almost quit on this season after DeBoer criticized him to the media. Don't miss him at all.

Another nice win today! I got a little nervous when the NYI came back from a 4-1 deficit and made it 4-3 but then Skinner scored to make it 5-3 and that kind of killed the NYI push. It was cool to see Buffalo kind of overwhelming the NYI with their forecheck like they used to do to us!

Yep, exactly. It kind of weeds out the guys who want to play in cities for other reasons than football. (For ex: like all the players who want to go to Maimi for the weather + nightlife).

love this clip!! And Josh Allen! 😁 I said something similar when McDermott and Beane were first hired - that Buffalo was the perfect spot for the type of team they wanted to build and that they could actually use it to their advantage. Being in a small city like Buffalo, you aren’t going to attract players looking for all the off-field stuff (clubs, nightlife, etc) or the nice weather like you do in other cities. If a player is coming here, it’s to play football. I felt like it could be used as an advantage with team building and felt Beane + McDermott were the perfect guys to take advantage of it with the type of player personality traits they were looking for. Very happy it’s worked out so well!

Not surprised. He doesn’t sound like a culture fit for Schoen and Daboll.

😬

I said the same thing recently. I know they’re playing better because I actually don’t want the season to end 😂 That’s the first time I could honestly say that in years!

You already know that dude is going to sue the **** out of Tyson.

That OT win by Vegas was pretty big as far as the playoff race goes. Vegas vs Dallas on Tuesday is going to be huge. Kind of a 4 point game. It’ll likely play a large role in deciding which team makes the playoffs. Go Dallas!!
