    I know this doesn't belong in this thread, but PU has dropped over 50 points already 25 goals and 31 assists (56 points) in 35 games. 1.6 points per game in the OHL... not bad...

    Oh agreed, but forget sometimes that there are other guys out there other than the Rochester kids. Nice to see the college boys stepping up... Florentino intrigues me. Looks like he can score and pass... Does he have some nasty? Also, Murray has some nice size and can skate... no idea about his hands... but interesting to see if he develops and I just like Giorgio Estephan, kid seems to be able to rack up points... 19 goals and 21 assists 40 points in 34 games for Medicine Hat.

    I was thinking about the 2017 draft and the need for defensemen in the pipeline and it begged the question how are the Sabre defensemen and later round draft pics from 2016 doing. Yeh, we stay in touch with Nylander, Asplund and Pu... and even Fitzgerald. But what about Murray, Nyberg, Budick, Hagel, Osmanski and Glotov. Well it turns out that Murray a big winger is joining Penn State midseason, and Nyberg a defenseman from Sweden and University of WI committment unable to pass English competence is joining UCONN midseason. As well Budik, a defensement from the Czeck Republic played in the WJC. Some of this has already been reported and I just didn't catch it being an outta towner: https://buffalonews.com/2017/01/02/prospect-report-nylander-shines-world-juniors/ Nice to get updated every once in a while.

    and that is why people are questioning him... Got to get a goaltending coach... find the Tampa coach that turned Bishop around.

    Interesting article out of Toronto on the Defenders coming out of this draft: http://editorinleaf.com/2017/01/05/toronto-maple-leafs-defenders-draft/

    Really, that sucked... risk of infection is great... Poop in your innards is not a good thing... probably should move this over to the Cliff Pu thread though.

    Missed the game, but saw replay and hit by McCabe reminded me of Stevens... Kid is developing a nice nasty streak. Lost that when Zadarov and McNabb were traded away. Wish those two were here and not Bogo, Gorges or Franson... i know they were not part of trade... for each other... still miss them.

    Aside from the Reffing being bad, the thing I think makes these games, like college basketball, so watchable is both the enthusiasm... not fake crab you see in the pros, but real raw emotion... and the energy level even when mistakes are made. The skaters go back and forth... there is no effective neutral zone trap... no stacking the line or double covering the other teams best receivers. In this one both goalies stood on their heads despite the number of goals given up. Which is why I love watching college hockey... Pro hockey imo, especially in the last month and during the playoffs is the closest in the professional ranks and soccer during the world cup where you see this combination of raw skill, enthusiasm and unfettered emotion. I love watching games whatever they are played with this kind of atmosphere generated from the players. High school basketball and hockey while not as as skilled if both teams have talent produce these kind of games.... Neat stuff.

    True and yet if Sabres finish top 2 this year and maybe next year does this in fact make them a better team in the long run
  14. North Buffalo
    And we all agreed at the beginning of the year that the team was at least two young players away. A D and a scoring winger. Although no one expected the Sabres to be this bad. Injuries probably most of the cause. A high draft pick who can play and some more developmental players with some of the previous ones taking the next step should make this the last year of the true tank years. Cant say Im disappointed except I wish I could see more entertaining hockey.

  19. North Buffalo
    No way Marner too small an Enis waiting to happen.

    Need to make net larger and catching glove much smaller. High sticking contact with another players head should be a 5 min penalty down a man. Pads no larger or wider than actual body. Eliminate blue lines, offsides only on redline.
  21. North Buffalo
    Better duck on that last one. Reminds me of Steve Ducy on Fox News.... no idea wtf he is talking about.
  22. North Buffalo
    Fair points dont think we disagree, maybe Borgen could be called up too. But by default with all the injuries it is an unintended tank. On the forward side, I think you keep letting the youth gain touches of experience at the NHL level.
  23. North Buffalo
    Whether or not you call it Tank intended or not.... playing the kids probably wont get the Sabres in the playoffs, but they will be a lot more fun to watch. The energy that Carrier and Bailey bring was pure joy and why I lke to watch hockey. Sam has found his groove.
  24. North Buffalo
