If I understood correctly what I just read, the NHL has closed the LTIR salary cap circumvention for the playoffs starting this coming season. Teams must be salary cap compliant throughout the playoffs. Curious if the Golden Nights Stanley Cup odds just took a beating.

It's crazy how fast they fall off in the NFL. He leaves the team for a big contract and then one year later he's back on the practice squad. And still just 26 years old.

IMHO - the team still needs a player who is a puck handler capable of gaining access to the offensive zone. We can't rely on dump and chase to reacquire possession and then setup, but rather somebody who can maintain possession getting over the blue line.

Gabe Davis to the practice squad

Tough news about DeWayne Carter (sp? (out for the season with a torn Achilles)), but, from what I gather, he was sliding down the depth chart before suffering the injury (which also stinks (he flashed early in his rookie year)).

interested, but with my schedule damn near impossible to commit until shortly before. So the greater likelihood is me just buying a ticket if I can get there. Hate to commit and then not.. 🙂

The Tottenham Hotspur stadium comparison is obvious and well-known. This one, I've not heard.

New stadium looks like Wembley

I should be able to make that work. Count me in if you need me.

Do the Sabres have a captain's practice or anything similar?

Elites or just people that have been here since the cretaceous period? I think those may be linked a bit 😂

It certainly has cooled off, and seemingly suddenly too!!! Oh man, that 1st waterfall brings back memories. A buddy of mine was dicking aroubd at the top, and almost took a VERY rough waterside down to his (likely) demise!!! We're talking 1996; no cell phones and you can imagine the nightmare an emergency squad would have, traversing that spot!!! I've never done the whole trail, but there are two more waterfalls up that trail, with a road to walk back to the park entrance. On the za subject, Canandaigua is painfully devoid of a quality establishment, IMO. Especially vs the Buffalo area (my grandparents were originally from Riverside, moved to Tonawonda when the Italians mass-exited that area, and now reside in Amherst). I cannot recommend ANY pizza places, here. Rochester has some decent spots, IMO. If I'm getting pizza, I bring my insulated pizza bag and make the 60 minute (round trip) to Uncle Joe's. Again, not as good as good Buffalo pizza, but MUCH better than anything in CA. I've head Simply Crapes is decent. The wife may have clowned you about the boots, but you were the wise one in wearing them 😃. With the tic issues we've been having, and my overprotective nature in regard to my son, I haven't done any nature hiking in a couple of years. We do hike around the city, a few times per week. I have to make it a point to do some research on effective bug spray, as there are tons of beautiful nature spots around here (I LOVE Ithaca, and I think the kid would love that town, too!) I'm happy that your visit went well!!!

This board certainly does have “elites.” I’ve witnessed it in my 15 years on here.

They are? Oh man, Hollywood undead also wtf my son bought the tickets and just said falling in reverse, I found it weird that they would be the only band playing.... Millenials !

High intensity. Chino was on point. Great show. Really surprised how many teens were in attendance.

They're opening for Falling in Reverse at Darien.

Thats a well reasoned argument, and I agree with you about it being all on Trump. You don't care about justice for those abused girls. You never did.

I was born on a Labor Day weekend. That changes things.

Yeah that would be a wild concert.

Just finished up a 24hour shift so I'm definitley feeling the Labor in Labor day

I think we’ll probably see Zucker, Tage and Dahlin back in the same spots, with Tage being asked to move around more. Norris will be on PP1, I’m just not sure if he’s bumper or in Peterka’s old spot. If he’s in Peterka’s spot Im concerned they’ll make the mistake of Tuch in the bumper again. If they put him in the bumper, I think Kulich might get Peterka’s spot, which makes sense if they’re looking for the guy most able to give what Peterka gave. But part of me thinks they will be giving Quinn every opportunity to be a 30-goal man and Appert will be pushing hard to get him on PP1. Im not expecting them to change their approach much in terms of how they set things up. Me I’d kinda like to see Byram added for motion and Benson for traffic play because the PP Ned’s more passing. I think Quinn has the skill set to be excellent on the PP but he was too unreliable last year. Tuch would not be a PP1 option for me. Something like this with lots of rotation and the low guys setting some things up for below the goal line Quinn. Benson Dahlin. Byram Tage PP2 Tuch Zucker Norris. Kulich Power

Swap Tuch out for Zucker and you’re probably spot on (with Byram if they ever add the D2). Zucker is better on the PP historically than Tuch has ever been, including saving the PP from being league-worst single-handedly last season. Zucker gets deflections, goes to the net, and wins possessions. Save Tuch for PK1 and PP2.

Just my opinion on the power play. TT is obviously a threat with his one timer from the left half wall/faceoff circle. Dahlin is the quarterback at the point. To me the question is what other three fill what other roles. Id like to see Tuch stay between the slot and crease. He can screen or move out for a slot one timer. Norris can be the behind the net guy. His primary outlets are TT on the left half wall or Tuch in front. Byram fills the right point and dare I say Quinn on the right half wall. They present secondary shooting/outlet options and are dangerous enough to warrant coverage. Scheme: Use Byram, Norris , and Quinn to spread out defenders. This opens passing lanes to the primary shooters, TT and Dahlin. Tuch stays mobile by moving from crease to high slot and back. As he moves out Norris slides to top of the crease. As Tuch moves down Norris goes behind the net. You maintain a net front screen/tip potential. Half wall guys (TT and Quinn) carry the puck high or low on the walls. Point and Norris are their outlets. Center of Gravity: Puck movement high and player movement low. Defenders have to choose one to focus on. Make defenders open their box to open passing lanes. Primary Result: TT one timer with a Tuch screen. A Tuch one timer from the mid to high slot with Norris screening or looking for a rebound. Secondary Result: Dahlin shot from the point with a Tuch screen, Norris on the rebound. Or a Quinn one timer on a Tuch screen.
