Konsta Helenius’ Golden Goal to win the IIHF World Championship. 20 years old going with one hand around a defender into a snip show. STUD.

In 1997, Brazilian soccer player Roberto Carlos took a free kick from 35 meters against France that seemed to defy the laws of physics as it curved around a wall of defenders at an angle that seemed impossible. ⁠ ⁠ This “miracle goal” led a team of French physicists to publish a study in the journal New Journal of Physics, in which they explained that the extreme spin and speed created a “spinning spiral of the ball” that overcame gravity and air resistance.⁠

How quickly people forget how good Noah Ostlund is. Isn’t this the same guy that spent like 3 months demanding we trade for and sign Timo Meier to 8x$10m? How would that look now? If it takes Ostlund or Helenius you say no.

This is a lot but I think we pick one “untouchable” out of the prospects/young players. It’s Helenius for me. The rest can go. If you’re too skidish to part with any of the other ones for elite talent, then you don’t actually want elite talent Sorry

I just listened to Stephen A Smith ask P.K. Subban about Jack Quinn. I repeat, what a time to be alive.

Being able to work as hard as possible without sacrificing positioning is an elite trait. Zach Benson.

@NateGearySports Sure I just don’t think that’s the part of the lineup that needs to step up

This is what always happens. Then suddenly most things stop getting called as the playoffs go on.

Watching all these penalties in Tampa-Montréal, plus Lindy today talking about being warned about extra curricular stuff, is the NHL trying to change the standard for what qualifies as a penalty in the playoffs?

Sabres power play always looks like they’re trying to execute a play they drew up at practice instead of taking what the PK gives them

Wish he hadn’t taken the penalty in the first place, but I appreciate Timmins getting his money’s worth once he knew.

If you could add one former (and currently active) Sabres player to their current roster, who would it be? Let’s exclude Eichel and Reinhart because those two answers are far too obvious.
