The Kid Line is either screaming hot or ice cold. GG may not know a X from an O, but he has the pulse of the bench.

He also plays his fourth line regularly near the end of periods and on the shifts right before commercial breaks...it's very grating to me.

Agreed. His fourth line usage is completely wrong IMO. Especially with having a dumb-dumb like Reaves out there.

I can't believe Ryan Reaves is still getting a jersey in the Eastern Conference Finals. He probably can't either.

Reaves isn't even the worst forward on the team...but he's obviously not far off.

Reaves was scratched in game 5, no?

Seems like that dude is a dodint and the other Rangers fans check on the guy. Also, the dodint has been arrested and charged with 2 counts of assault, 2 counts of disorderly conduct, and 2 counts of harassment.

Mentioned when I was sitting in their arena for the basketball tourney that I was shocked that the no titles Sabres had 7 retired numbers- here goes an 8th.
I love Buffalo and Buffalonians will tell you they take pride in loving their sports teams no matter what but it’s a little much for never having gotten the job done.

Let's take a closer look...
French Connection: that's a lay-up. They were incredible. Perreault is a top 150 player in history, and it's all with Buffalo. Rick Martin was an upper echelon LWer of the era, basically played his whole career for Buffalo. Then, to retire two-thirds of a line that stayed together for like a decade and not have the third guy is a tough look...so Rene Robert has to go along for the ride.
Tim Horton would have made a little sense if they retired it when he died playing with the team. But they didn't retire it until a while later. He was basically NOT a Sabre at all...
Danny Gare...meh, that's gratuitous...he was good, but meh...
Lafontaine was awesome. He had that 148 point season...but man, he only played 268 games as a Sabre. That's a tough one.
Hasek is one of the best goalies ever. He did his damage with Buffalo. 39 is a rare number. This is fine.
Ryan Miller...meh...he didn't really do it for me. Miller had one top-5 Vezina finish in his career. I don't know, he wasn't that amazing for me...he's the second best goalie in Sabres history I guess...but even that might be Barrasso...who played just as much for Buffalo as Lafontaine...
So, yes, they are over-retirers...

I’ve always wondered how that works. What happens if he gets caught there again? Trespassing charges?Also banned for life by MSG.Seems like that dude is a dodint and the other Rangers fans check on the guy. Also, the dodint has been arrested and charged with 2 counts of assault, 2 counts of disorderly conduct, and 2 counts of harassment.

Yes, and apparently MSG has been deploying facial recognition technology since 2018.I’ve always wondered how that works. What happens if he gets caught there again?

Bias aside, the obvious answer is Mario/Sid. They’d be a 200’ juggernaut. Not even sure you could come up with another duo from a team that would compare - including 99/97.

Given those choices and assuming that we get the primes of both, it's not even a little bit close. It's two of the top ten players ever. No one else is offering anything close to that. The only other possible top ten candidate on the screen is Lidstrom...
