North Buffalo

Generally, I agree... the 16 games is only part of what these women play... they do play all the exhibition tournaments and world championship games as well. Don't know if they receive compensation for them or not and that may be part of their argument. Though the NHL has little do with those effort. The problem I see is by cutting themselves out of the NHL sponsorship they probably are limiting the amount of women who can keep training and actually playing meaningful games, while growing the sport. It is too bad.

Not sure who is giving them advice or it may be its too big a commitment to not earn a certain basic salary and insurance especially as these women age. I can see the conundrum on both sides. Why is it worth all my time and effort if I can earn more elsewhere even though I love the sport and if I cannot make a basic salary and insurance benefit it probably isnt worth the effort for a lot of these women if they have other career opportunities. That being said if the NHL doesnt deem it financially sustainable even from a sponsor marketing standpoint at that level... it is tough to keep supporting the league...

Risto and a player/pic coming back is what I meant, should have qualified

I am still hoping for a trade to move up and nab Turcotte, not sure it can happen and probably involves Risto. Is that worth doing?

Also not sure Vancouver does it, Nylander boys appear to be underperforming, not a question of talent imo, maybe heart? or drive... not sure but something is missing in those two. Mostly it appears to show up when they need to take it to the next level and for whatever reason dont seem to be able to...

True but nerves tend to ball up around edges and try and regrow but can't go thru which is why if you bang an area near a scar sometimes you get a shock or an be sensitive. TY thanks for info

NJ fills the stadium, nice place good graphics and entertainment, priced about same as Sabres games.

No Tats, but two nasty scars, one on back of left upper arm, had a big birth marked removed as a kid and one across my chest, had a pectus excavatum as a kid. Was wondering and not sure what, but can ink coverup scars? And how painful is that to do on a scale of 1-10, 10 being most painful?

Man this is going to be a long off season.

Its marketing, sounds cool, new terms add specificity of player usage, like slot receiver, wing back... but media using it is all about marketing their media brand to as others have said sound smart

Fullback now sometimes called H-Back or blocking back depending on use... marketing specificity

Its football and the more the nomenclature changes, the more that cycle of tactic changes repeat themselves.. interesting choice of new names, my guess its more about marketing and not getting stale

Yeh not letting me??!

3rd pair at best... Sabres need guys up front, that being said if they trade Risto... maybe

Unless someone pics him before 7

Given the Alternatives what do you have to lose?

True

Yes I would on Turcotte

Helluv a game Dal v Nash... both teams were laying out for this one... overtime was something else... Wow. Bishop deserves Vesina

Sure Ill just name it Sabrespace2.0

Half the Sabres are too young to grow one, oh wait.. ?

Kid can catch and is shifty out the back field, but not a power back.

Best example I can think of distinguishing the two traits is Jonathan Toews in his prime was one intense guy but not overly physical vs someone like Victor Hedman who is physical and skilled but not overly intense
