If I'm a Buffalo fan reading that review, it's like I'm standing on the ledge of a tall building, and Dom's in the crowd below shouting "Jump! Jump!"
I mean, he's not telling them anything they don't already know.

Former Plymouth Whaler/Checker/Everblade Carter Sandlak was a referee in last night‘s Leafs/Habs game. He retired in 2018 and went straight into officiating, working primarily in the ECHL but also worked the final of the IIHF U-18 Tournament. He’s working a split AHL/NHL contract this year.
Here's hoping he doesn't suck
Whike clearing Evander Kane from the gambling investigation, the league announced another investigation, relating to his behavior toward his wife during their divorce. According to Elliotte Friedman, there is a new investigation underway to determine if he broke Covid protocols. Under the protocols, there are no specific punishments for violations, but recall that 4 Caps were suspended 4 games each and the team fined $100k for a violation last year. Kane and the Sharks agreed that he won’t report to camp until further notice. He has 4 years left at a $7 million AAV.

Now that ESPN has hockey again, they’re beefing up their ancillary programming.
John Buccigross will host a weekly show on Thursdays at 3pm in ESPN2 and ESPN+ called The Point. It debuts next Thursday at 5pm. It will also air daily on October 12-15 as part of opening week coverage. The downside? Expect a heavy dose of Melrose.

I can probably survive that. (Melrose) but JIC I leave everything but my house to my sister and the house to Dad
Given their games are early to late morning here, it doesn’t compete with any current offerings. Pretty cheap experiment for them.
