All Activity

I like the idea of using preseason to let the actual roster stabilize. We don’t need a bunch of guys who aren’t making the opening roster take ice time that could be used to figure out line combos. Those guys can prove they deserve a call up in the minors.

Hopefully, for the 1st time in the last 3 years they run a NORMAL preseason and actually not just try to optimize lines but actually succeed at it. 2 years ago they were too concerned with finding out which Amerks could fit into the top 6 / top 4 should injuries strike to bother figuring out which SABRES should be there in the 1st place. Last year, due to the abreviated camp they pretty much picked the lines and pairings before seeing if there might be some better chemistry to develop with a smidge of experimentation. They have ZERO excuses for not being ready to go from the day they host the Rags and hopefully they catch some teams still getting it together to build up a bit of a cushion for the inevitable stretches of bad injury luck or simply everyone being flat at the same time for about a week which almost all middling teams suffer at some point in the season.

Pretty sure either set of dates / times would work. If not, autodraft can get me just as lousy a team as drafting legitimately would do. 😉

I believe this is one of our biggest problems in society today. There's no accountability with anonymity. I believe people wouldn't be so nasty if their user name and avatar were what is on their driver's license, passport or state/school ID.

Assuming health, 13 forward spots set and 6 D. If UPL is healthy, he and Lyon are the goalies. Kozak will try to be the 14th forward. Johnson, Jones and Bryson will battle for 7D. 2 of those 4 will make the team. Georgiev and Levi will fight to be the 2nd goalie if UPL is out for any length of time.

61-23=38

I don’t think there’s any open spots except backup goalie. So, all prospects.

So how many players do we need to cut or send down the AHL before the season starts?

Damn, luckily you were face down and not in a vulnerable position to aspirate.

I bet you would.

I would like to see that

Here's Kevyn's interview: "We made a lot of good moves and were excited and I think there's potential and Terry gives us resources and trades are hard and we're tougher to play against"

Zach Benson is listed at his combine weight, so either he's still 170lbs 28 months after the combine or 4 strippers and a horse are going to light the Olympic torch. Dear Kevyn, why the ***** are you still here? Lindy, why the ***** are your assistant coaches still here?

Any practices open to the public?

So, here’s the latest: I never heard back from Curt’s Team so after not being active last season, he’s gone. We now have 9 returning teams: gilbert11 Govt Muel Beast of the East North Buffalo Labatt Blue pasta joe Dahlin Beef Gtown Sabres Two or less I had not seen a response in here from Lanny or NorKentucky PP Slappers so I pinged them from Yahoo. If I don’t hear back in a couple of days from them We have Taro T , Turbo44 and dudacek interested in returning, which would put us back at 12. Tentatively the draft would be Saturday Oct 4th at 7 PM Eastern/ 4 PM Pacific or at 9 PM Eastern/6 Pacific (I have another at 5 PM Pacific) or Monday Oct 6th at 7 PM East/4 PM Pacific or 9:30 PM East/ 6:30 PM PAC (I have another at 5:30 Pacific) I initially thought this league’s draft would fit in nicely on Sunday the 5th, then noticed the Bills are hosting the Pats on MNF. Let me know if there are any conflicts, otherwise I’ll just pick a date/time. The NHL Season starts on Tuesday Oct 7th.

Or get a free ticket when you buy a beer.

I haven’t played for awhile. Interested if you need another

What site are you viewing these prices ?

Did you play last year?

Interviews are tomorrow with both Adams and Ruff scheduled to speak. First on ice session is Thursday Morning at 9:30

I would like to see Lindy play his real team for the first period every preseason game. They typically focus on the bubble players instead of getting the team ready to play.

Yup. He found a team desperate enough to pay him like he's an NHLer regardless of where he plays. And, if somebody trades for him or snags him when he gets waived to Ra-cha-cha, well then he gets to ride on planes to the next rink he'll sit at the end of the bench and watch the guy ahead of him play rather than ride a bus to the next rink he'll sit at the end of the bench and watch the guy ahead of him play.

Uh, yeah...first of all, are they cooked or raw? And that includes the car.

Invitee d-man Aidan Fulp is a Leap Day Baby. Nice.
