I'm happy for you homie, you've had Sam's back from the start. 🤝

You see anything different in Sam's play this season?
Benefit of coaching or systems.

Or more of the same

So in one less season's worth of games Reinhart has scored 27 more 5 on 5 goals than Girgensons...

Me too!

But I am happy that NHL.TV is going away

- Stripes77


Also curious to see who the other network is going to be. NBC or FOX seem to be the likely candidates, but I do know Turner (TBS, TNT) were in on the negotiations the last time around.

Also, the way this is worded is curious to me:

Under the new agreement, the NHL’s Stanley Cup Final and Stanley Cup Playoffs action will return to the ABC and ESPN networks – including exclusive coverage of the Stanley Cup Final in four of the seven years of the deal – beginning with the 2021-22 season.

Does this mean that Disney gets the Stanley Cup Final for four years and the other network has it for the other three, or do they get it exclusively for four years, and then split coverage with another network for the other three?

Yet the Sabres are averaging less shots on goal and less shot attempts

Ralph needs to go

Regardless of who your favorite players are, he is seriously holding this team back!

That's a fair comparison.

Draft status, ice time and contacts aside.....

Girgensons was scheduled to make 3 million less this year right?

2.2 vs. 5.2 ?

There should be a few more expectations correct?

It's not an exclusive deal so my guess is we will hear more in the next month or so about the other network.

Sounds like they are going to do what the NFL does with the Super Bowl and rotate networks for the Cup

The most common observations made from the perspective of those interviewed:

The Pegulas’ resources and attention are stretched too thin by businesses not related to the core mission of winning games.
There is a lack of faith in the shrunken executive leadership team: executive vice presidents Gregg Brandon (legal), Frank Cravotta (creative), Chuck LaMattina (finance), Mark Preisler (media and content) and Ron Raccuia (licensing and brand merchandise).
High job turnover is coupled with little explanation for it.
Family and close friends receive positions of growing influence or are allowed pet projects.
Employees conveyed support and sympathy for their coworkers along with resentment that upper management takes their efforts for granted.
“A lot of the things that were so amazing about it when I started,” said a former PSE employee, “began to evaporate as they continued to cut corners and cut expenses.

“I’m sure you’ve heard or will hear that the people who work there are awesome people, but the people high up in executive leadership now are snakes, to put it kindly.”
