@PenguinsJesus Agreed on the Sabres, however, we can always root for our guy Jake in Tampa too.

That’s a wrap. It opened with many of us (include me) tanking for Gavin McKenna. Lottery odds, long looks at draft boards, the quiet acceptance of what this was supposed to be. Somewhere along the way, it drifted off script. A handful of players who weren’t meant to carry anything gave people a reason to keep checking in. Thanks to everyone who followed along. The mock beat reports, the Skinner quotes, the increasingly unnecessary wardrobe changes for Erik Karlsson. The shirts, the hats. It was all very serious work people like myself do on the beat. Now the offseason arrives with its usual lack of clarity. There is a version where this turns into an Ol’ Yeller summer and a few familiar names are dealt with in ways that feel abrupt. There is another where it’s framed as a retool on the fly. Either path says something about where this is going in Dubas’ plan. For the playoffs, the rooting interests are straightforward. Anyone playing the Philadelphia Flyers will do. Beyond that, the Buffalo Sabres are my team now. They have waited long enough and tend to treat visiting fans like invited guests, at least when I go up there. Out West, the Minnesota Wild are who I will be rooting for. I’m not sure why, but I feel like they’re due. The preference, as always, is that the Stanley Cup remains in the United States. We’ll see what the Pittsburgh Penguins decide to be next. Younger would help. Better would be ideal. The free agent market and draft will point the way, or at least suggest one. Until then.

@TheStateOfCincy Let’s not get carried away

A better Chicago, that’s not flat.

@ThePoniExpress Great, thanks to you they’re losing game 6🤦‍♂️

Maybe I’m reading too much into this but Sid looks and sound like a man who believes he’s about to captain a team to history. Pens in 7.

@awfulannouncing He consistently finds new ways to be unlikable. What a diva.

Kirk Herbstreit had absolutely no interest in the Primanti Bros. spread on ABC's draft telecast

@MasonFanatic Inevitably someone always misses the season for some undisclosed eligibility or conduct reason AG/Admin don’t say anything about - we have to factor in at least one phantom player who goes MIA

Can anyone explain to me why Dayton needs 7 forwards?

@John_Fanta @parlaypyle Please, don’t remind us

The First Four should always be at UD Arena. Tremendous hoops house.

@adamg1224 Can’t wait to tune in and hear about how great our fans are at showing up for other teams!!! We live for this!!

Biggest two days of the year. Get out there and show the world what really matters in Dayton. Host the hell out of the programs that care about winning and playing in the ncaa tournament. Host like you’ve never hosted before. That’s what Dayton basketball is all about.

@DaytonMBB @NITMBB I can’t believe you posted this

Next Up ➡️ The @NITMBB ✈️🏀 The Flyers will face Bradley on Wednesday, March 18th at 9 p.m. ET‼️

@The_Underdog5 He was bailed out, entirely, by a solid NBA player. The other 7 years are what AG is. It’s impossible to forget as we are constantly reminded he’s *almost accomplished one good thing in his tenure here and it isn’t even a credit to his coaching

I agree that at UD, you have to win. Our fans and community is too strong not too! But let’s not forget that Covid robbed us of a potential national champion under AG. Also, the team this year is not THAT talented, but they are together, obviously! Players got make plays!

@NotJ0NRoth @sullymygoodname Same thing happened to me when I wanted to finish Zips/Toledo. THEY JUST DONT GET IT

Sleeping in the dogs wooden house tonight directly beside my home. The wind is brutal. Wife got visibly upset at me for declining intercourse to go rewatch Prairie View vs Southern. Little does she know I don’t require sleep. This is March. I sleep in May.

@KDPomp Bet you didn’t think we’d lose!

Vladar takes a penalty in OT. 4 on 3 for #Penguins

@PenguinsJesus Can’t watch any more shootouts. How are they so bad at shootouts?

I’m glad we didn’t trade any prospects at the deadline. This team is lifeless without our favorite 38 and 39 year olds. No single player was going to change that.

@KaylerSmithTV @WDTN “Just”? When did you get here?

Dayton suffers just its third home loss this season, falling 68-62 to VCU in the regular season finale. Javon Bennett scored 17 points in likely his final game at UD Arena. Dayton will be the No. 4 seed in the A-10 tournament @WDTN

@adamg1224 Embarrassing. Cowards.

Trying to hide from the masses turning on you only makes it worse. It’s gonna get so much worse. No one is in charge

@thetripathi58 Interesting take considering the way most deals are structured, the recruiter makes more $ the higher the candidates salary is. Why would they cost themselves $?

The recruiter asks: "What are your salary expectations?" You give a number. Silence. The interview ends. Two days later, the offer is $15k less than you’re worth. You just fell into the "Anchor Trap." Stop costing yourself thousands. Say this instead:

@JBedellWHIO @whiotv @WHIORadio Has to be an Epstein thing, right??

BREAKING: University of Dayton President Dr. Eric Spina is retiring. Spina has informed the UD Board of Trustees he will retire in June 2027. @whiotv @WHIORadio

@DavidPJablonski Wow that’s profound.

Anthony Grant after loss to VCU: "The first half was unacceptable, the way we didn’t bring a competitive character that you’ve got to have. That’s back-to-back road games that we just haven’t competed at the level we need to compete.”’ daytondailynews.com/sports/dayton-…

@DaytonMBB Yep, go Flyers

Final: Dayton 73, VCU 99 #GoFlyers

@kpcflyers10 @DaytonDers @DaytonMBB I don’t care at all, frankly

Dayton fans … absolutely I hope you all appreciate the talent, toughness, and COMPETITIVENESS of Javon Bennett. He has never played a game without leaving EVERYTHING on the floor. Total respect. @DaytonMBB

@jsmaimone @ProLOWD Do you have any of the Spina4LIFE’s left?
