Pretty good skate so far

KFC has jumped the shark

It's the in-arena camera flashes reflecting off the ice/glass

Dentist says I need to get a filling, my first one. I made it all the way to 33.

The Chris Drrruuuuuury call is an all-time moment for me. I was watching that game at the party in the plaza outside the arena and it was just nuts when Drury scored that goal. I'll never forget it.

Casey is a player who I think has good hands but seems to lack the seasoning to play a two way game. I'm fine with him staying in Rochester until his game matures.

He literally cost them the game lol

Tampa clearly throwing the game so they don't have to play us in the first round

Zach Bogosian currently a -2 in his Tampa debut. We can't escape this ***** guy.

Johansson had a nice game the other night so maybe we'll see him more now

Like, do an honest side-by-side comparison of Skinner and Simmonds this season. Simmonds CF% and CFrel are a little worse, but he's got essentially the same shot totals, the same shooting percentage, nearly identical goals and assists through a handful more games. And Simmonds was doing it all on a worse team playing fewer minutes per game. I'd love to see some heat maps but I bet his shots are actually coming from more dangerous areas than Jeff's too, just by virtue of how he plays the game. Obviously Skinner is a more talented player, but it's really hard to argue that he's contributing a whole lot more than Wayne Simmonds this season.

Barely.

I thought this was hyperbole until I looked it up and yikes

Wild that Simmonds is the best winger that line has had all season.

It's not ridiculous, but it requires some help from Toronto and Florida, ie. they need to totally collapse. The Sabres aren't going to get there on their own. Leafs play Tampa tonight, Panthers play Arizona. Wednesday could be interesting if those teams lose tonight.

So Botterill traded a 4th for Sheary and Hunwick. Buried Hunwick, then traded Sheary (and Rodrigues) back to Pitt for Kahun. So it's Rodrigues and a 4th for Kahun and Hunwick. Maybe in sum we lost lol

I can't see Simmonds playing first line minutes. I think he's good for 12 mins a game and Risto's spot on the PP.

*shrug?*

For the record, I don't think there's any chance this team makes the playoffs. But I appreciate that they're being given the opportunity to try.

Agreed. I don't get it.

I would consider today a mild success.

I don't mind this trade. At least he's an RFA.

If this is the only move he makes today then he should be fired.
