    As a courtesy to the other board members, please use more descriptive topic titles. A single name if far too vague to post as a title and provides little insight into what specifically the post is talking about.The topic starter can edit the topic title line to make it more appropriate.

    Thank you.

    Hopefully they play well but keep in mind Jody Gage was a Rochester Americans AHL star it doesn’t mean it translates to the NHL level. I am not saying that the situations are the same. Just that some Buffalo Sabres fans see AHL stats and assume they will translate to the NHL level. I guess what I am saying is caution I wouldn’t expect much from either one Jiri Kulich or Isak Rosen tonight. If they were good enough they would have made it a month ago over Zach Benson a 18 year old player that was just drafted in the spring. Good luck to both Kulich and Rosen in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

  12. The 6K discussion thread: Can he lead us to the playoffs? Keeping the crease warm for Levi?

    Right. The very furthest I got was “hella risky, but he could conceivably play around 40 if we go out and get a Swayman level guy to play the other 40.” It was risky *with* a vet backup added - without, it just seems folly.

    I do think most questioned it thoroughly. Some thought the rookie of the year was his to lose and he’d hit the ground running and start 50

    I kept saying: it takes time to adjust to NHL shots. Way different than College shots 

    I done made a little joke with my edit 

    Perhaps I should break out my warrior dolomite and offer to bring young Levi up to speed?

    As if the Tuch injury wasn't enough...

    Dylan, please find your form.

    Shooters have gloves with shorter wrist guards to give them more touch with a shot.  The reason a lot of defencemen and defencive forwards have "stone hands" is because their wrist guards are long enough to preclude fine motor control.

    Yes. I understand that there are minor variations in gloves. However, I am not aware of reinforced, extra padding, puck stopping gloves versus gloves with inferior padding.

    That’s what I figured.  Thanks.

    The horse has already left the barn, bu still — if he’s gonna play PK, shouldn’t TT have gloves, at least for the PK, that are sturdy enough to block point slappers?

     

    Maybe I’m missing something, but I have never seen hockey gloves that were remarkably different from one another. Shinguards yes. Ankle guards yes. Gloves no.

    And if you don't think the other team knows that you have a wrist injury within 2 minutes of watching you warm up whether they know it or not from an injury report, I don't know what to tell you.  I mean, I used to know who was hiding an injury on the other team in warmups playing soccer in grade school, but you think pro athletes/coaches/trainers/staff aren't going to be able to figure it out?

    C'mon man.

    And yet Lindy Ruff and EVERY SINGLE TEAM since for 17 years have done it this way, to apparently no advantage. 

    confidence. It’s the food of the wise man, but the liquor of the fool.

    I find it so crazy that the NFL, NBA and MLB all give you pretty much the exact injuries, if not from the team, from beat reporters/national media reporters that have sources that the team allows to leak info out.

    Why the NHL deems this as some secretive thing I have no idea.  It's irritating to the fans who want to know what is going on with the players and it really doesn't give any competitive advantage.  Pretty obvious by watching someone for a minute or two warming up if there is an issue they are trying to hide from the opposing team.  

    The issue is that the NHL ALLOWS this type of reporting, not that the NHL REQUIRES this type of reporting.
     

    And if you don’t think a wrist injury can be exploited in hockey then I don’t know what to tell you. I’d be happy to show you with a Bauer 95 flex though.
