It's really not so much different from pastrami anywhere else. It's ###### pastrami. I've been to three NYC "you just HAVE to go there" delis, and it's the same stuff I'd get at Tops--TOPS, not even Wegmans--but piled about five inches high on inferior bread. I don't need five inches of meat (insert joke here) and I don't need a pickle that's better than the sandwich.
What the NYC Jewish delis do that no one else does really comes down to bagels w/ lox (do not even try to tell me that Bagel Jay's is the same) and knishes. And if you're fortunate enough to go to a Toronto Jewish deli, the kishkas. (I hope I spelled that correctly.)
Mazel tov!

So, USA vs. Switzerland at 8:15am ET tomorrow (Thursday). It does not appear to be listed on NBC Sports' TV listing... perhaps NHL network?
Faceoff is at 9:15 am EDT with coverage starting at 9. It's listed on the program guide for NBCSN tomorrow at 9. Just programmed my DVR.

Weber's role should be 7th defenseman who dresses occasionally but sees most of the games from the press box. We have enough toughness on the back end that we won't miss his on a game to game basis. I'm glad he's a tough guy and will play until he bleeds, but he's a liability on the ice more often than not, regardless of the amount of minutes he plays.

Sabres season ticket holders just spent $80 million the past 2 seasons on a team who openly marketed the fact that they wanted to finish in last place, while not being able to give their tickets away for free many nights.
I think thanking ol' Bobby with an obvious social media attempt at fame that probably won't come anywhere close to the total, in thanks for a decade of championship sports, isn't the worst thing in the world.
That is squarely on the fans and the fans only. Perhaps the Sabres gambled on the loyalty and intelligence of their fan base to understand that rebuilding from scratch and securing top picks in consecutive drafts was a strategy they could get behind. Given the number of tickets sold, I'd say they were right. Given the number of renewals at increased ticket prices, I'd say that fan base has voted solidly in their favor.

I really like the way you have not given up on Grigorenko.
I believe he has a very good future with the Sabres. I can see him taking many of the important draws on that second line. He's pretty good at the red dot.
I think Oreo gets shipped off to Colorodo as part of a package for O'Reilly.

Yep. This kid and Kane are going to be fun to watch for a long time. Throw in Reinhart and Risto and holy ###### I am loving the potential of this new core. The days of Roy, Vanek, Pommer and Miller are a distant memory.
^This! And unlike that old core, I get the feeling that Eichel and Reinhart, especially, won't be shy about accepting the mantel when it's their turn. Add Girgensens to the mix and we have a nice group of leaders on this team for a long time. Vanek and Co. collectively didn't possess the hockey character necessary to assume the reigns when Drury and Briere left. Not even close.

I wish I made a Vine of this defensive play he made where he was two strides behind a guy, caught up effortlessly in the neutral zone, and then took the puck away from behind without a hint of an illegal play.
I kept looking for this "floating" but it's not there. He's always in postion and he can look like he's not skating that hard but he's just flying. That play along the boards for the goal was outstanding - he had two guys on him tight - the Vine doesn't go early enough - and came out with the puck and scored the game winner. He'll be our best player in Game One.
I know the play you're referencing and it was a major-league play born out of hustle, speed, and hockey smarts. If I didn't know the kid was only 18, I wouldn't believe it if you told me. Where did he develop this kind of game?
GO SABRES!!!
Thanks for this.

EDIT: Looks like he's trapped in the corner, move, quick spin, fire at the net. Love it.
Also, here is the assist.
Incredible vision. Knows Seth is creeping down the whole time and he has the instinct to keep his eyes set on 29 (think it's Brock, a guy I'm sure the D was game-planning for in the high slot) to prolong deception.
Much appreciated gents. Can't make up my mind which play I like more.
All I know is this kid has a great brick and mortar game as he does all the little things well and it's plain to see how his confidence has grown throughout the tourney. Whenever his line is on the ice, they tend to control the play. I have to believe this experience is gonna fill him with confidence heading into his first pro camp.

Well that "baby" is gonna be the strongest forward on our team the minute he walks in the door and I'd bet he can give Bogo a run for his money in the weightroom, too.

Andrew Peters just threw out Tampa Bay as a dark horse team if they don't make the finals. Hmm.

I totally misunderstood the intention of this thread. I thought Ghost went to the Netherlands and came back with some, you know, "pointers." I just assumed the "Holland Tulip" was a European improvement on something out of the Kama Sutra.

McJesus needs some help and he ain't getting it at the moment. His team is down 0-2 to Oshawa and he has one assist and is a -4 in the two games. I think Strome is getting exposed a bit, too. He's not nearly the skater I would hope to see at this juncture.

Things cannot be unseen.
Thanks, Promo. I am scarred for life.

There is no greatest QB of all time. The best that can be said is that the great ones in history all have a seat at the table.
And it's a round table.

Just continues to impress on this pp. The fake shot for the dish in front, carrying the puck through traffic into the zone for another really good scoring chance.
Very happy we have this tournament to watch him play.
Same here. The game just doesn't look too big for him. I think he comes to camp with a certain degree of confidence after this experience.

I was blown away when I watched Eichel against Norway, and still thought he needed to be more aggressive away from the puck in the D-zone. It's possible to highlight flaws in his game without declaring him a bust or insinuating that he's lazy.
I'm well aware of this. I was attempting to inject some levity into the discussion. Sorry if that offended.
GO SABRES!!!
-
Good stuff, thanks.
Those gifs were amazing, exactly the highlights that show what kind of player Eichel is. He looked incredible in that game; so strong on the puck, and his vision is great.
Not bad for a guy that likes to loaf in his own end.

YoloInOhio posted this on Off The Wall over at TBD. Thought I'd share. Yes, Jeremy White is definitely biased, but so am I! Can't get enough of this stuff. Russia was a great test for the kid, especially. We are gonna love him here.

It's from October, but I really like this article
Nice article. The strength testing quoted below was sometime before this article was published. I believe he's stronger now which is why I maintain he will be our strongest forward the minute he reports. I doubt anyone coming out this year is as strong. And to think he moves the way he does.
On the latest round of strength testing, he front-squatted 320 pounds, cleaned 335 pounds, had a close-grip bench press of 250 pounds, a pull-up max of 25 reps, and body fat percentage of 6.3 percent.GO SABRES!!!

So what did Darby do?
Near as I can tell, he was assigned Winston as a roommate and got in a car with PJ Williams. From that, we can infer that he is of dubious character. I'll bet he wears a hoodie, too.

Chuck Pollock at the Olean Times Herald is probably the dean of Bills writers. He's pretty level headed. When he writes something like this, it gets my attention.
http://www.oleantimesherald.com/sports/article_23148eca-f20f-11e4-8b96-9b806d8d9c16.html
It can be argued that neither incident was particularly indicting of Darby.Ya think?

Since each team is limited by the CBA in the amount of dollars allocated for UDFAs, I propose we only sign Collins and give him the entire amount.
Jimmy O needs to get creative here.

I've seen what you're seeing. Sometimes he glides toward the guy with the puck instead of skating toward him to engage him. Some guys can generate speed without picking up their feet, though, and I can't tell if that's what I'm seeing.
Sometimes I think that some guys who look like they are trying really hard just aren't very good skaters.
Matt Ellis.
That's no slam on Ellis, who's effort is unquestionable, but one of the reasons he looks like he's hustling so much is because he's a trainwreck on skates.

Someone with the handle, "Buffalo39", at HockeyBuzz is reporting that Babcock to Buffalo is a done deal at $6m per year. Apparently he's been right about a couple deals in the past so who knows.
