North Buffalo

. Surprised thought I was going to get killed this week with Bradford out.

Yeh he will get more than 1 year especially if he get 25+ goals and 15+ assists, that being said hard to give him more than 4-5 years. Remind me how old is he? 26? That has to play into his thinking... 4-5 puts him at 30-31. Enough to get one more decent contract... if he can remain healthy.... or he want 7 years and assumes his health forces retirement. Do these guys even think that way?

So if I could take Nylander's talent and combine it with Pu's gumption... assume it probably means he has a strong work ethic and fire in the belly... I'd have a helluv a hockey player!

It was rough with the gaps... could barely figure out what was going on....

Agreed, he young, but need to see the fire in the belly from him, but darn he has tools... just hoping he puts it all together and learns the effort needed to make it at this level.

I am of this mind too... though still concerned and would rather go with 4 for 7 if that is even an option. Kane has too many ifs to be sure and makes him a gamble either lowering his worth or term. But I'd rather keep him for his playoff as you said agression... ideal for it. Guess we will see as this season plays out and how he buys into the new system.

Cool, PS can someone do a player observation synopsis post game for those of us who can't watch tonight?

Yeh but my son plays first person shooter games that my eyes can hardly keep up with and give a head ache... pixel gun seems tame gonna try out tomorrow.. and family fun crashing each other out during race car games as it usually devolves into. My wife and I still think its about racing... my sons think its about creating the horrendous crashes. Still fun.

It's tough, the drunk obnoxious Canadians in the lower bowl were a bit much last time. Before it was the drunk fowl mouthed rednecks in the upper deck spraying everyone with beer. Only one out of the last three games were fun and that one was during the last playoff run 17 years ago... Even my adopted older brother gave up his season tickets last year. Part of it is its tough when the Bills are still losing to tolerate that stuff... The new City Field despite the Mets record is still fun to go too...

I really like Larry, but who knows... hoping its Matty, D-Lo and Josh... Let the younger wheels have a shot.

The ref apparently ran in into TT and Matthews standing too close to the sideline and got knocked down because he forgot his vagesil... threw a coronary and called the penalty.

Bout time...

Wow, I get a win and still have Ely and Golladay Monday night... Not sure how that happened...

And me 2nd to last but beating you...

Didnt expect too much but so far so good..

You have to say that with that with a little more panache... think Fog Horn Leghorn..."I said boy, I said boy you need to listen more and talk less... that tongue is gonna get sunburned if you don't put it back...

I have a Sabres jersey with number 40 on it... my favorite number... dont know why maybe because I never was given number 4 in sports. but if I bought one now maybe it would be numberless... not sure... from a man approaching geezerdom!

Neo, I love you quotes.. feeling nostagic for high school...

Housley had a rep of being aloof in his playing days so yes probably didn't treat rookies that well. Changes when you start coaching is my guess.

Yeh he did, there was audio of him saying something to the effect that "yeh, I detest that guy..." Not sure when, but he and Housley said it was all water under the bridge.. I think Ray was referring to playing with Housley as a Rookie. https://www.facebook.com/TBNSports/posts/1381224118633431, found it listed in the Buffalo News
