  1. Why are you worrying over something they isn't going to happen? Sounds to me like you want to get all worked up.
  2. The NHL was so busy making the draft lottery tank-proof they forgot to make a rule that says the same team can't win it 4 times in 6 years.
  3. The price won't be that high. EDM could just draft Eichel and leave us McDavid but they'd be dumb to do that. They should trade with the Sabres, but Murray will laugh and hang up on the Oilers if they ask for too much. We offer them the Islanders #1 pick and they take it.
  4. McDavid's agent tells the Oilers he will never sign with them. Oilers could just draft Eichel but instead decide to "trade" top pick to Buffalo for a token pick.
  5. Well I think we know the lottery wasn't fixed. Why would the NHL want McDavid to fall into the black hole of hockey?
  6. Someone had to start it. Remember how the dash for 8th place was so unbearable?
  7. You actually can rig a ping-pong ball lottery fairly easily. You simply make the 4 balls you want to come up lighter than the others. They will be more likely to be sucked up the tube. Conspiracy's back on! Ooops, sorry,Fake Gorby already cited an example.
  8. None of this means dick unless the NHL also releases the list of number combos assigned to each team.
  9. The chances of being struck by lightning are low. The chances of being severely injured playing hockey are quite significant. The premiums would be astronomical for a player with the earning potential of an Eichel. And that's my point. Assuming his parents aren't rich, how can he afford to take a policy out on himself that would replace even part of his future earnings?
  10. Question: Who pays the premium on that kind of insurance? It can't be cheap. Also, would you want to bet your life on an insurance company paying off?
  11. Nancy Marrapese-Burrell of the Boston Globe was on Schopp & Bulldog today. Essentially said that the only reason Eichel would stay at BU was if he was going be sent to play in the AHL next year. Since we are done tanking I don't think that will be a problem.
  12. Have to look. I saw it in a tweet. https://twitter.com/NBCSportsPR/status/588064202671140864 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratings_for_The_NHL_on_NBC
  13. All these Stanley Cup wins are meaningless because Murray lied about finishing 30th back in 2015.
  14. You are reading the numbers wrong. It's 1.17% of all NHL viewership in the USA comes from Buffalo, a market that is 1/6th the size of places like Boston and Chicago.
  15. Love seeing Boston fans pout. Even after a cup win in 2011 and a finals appearance in 2013 people I know are threatening to cancel their season tickets. Cry me a river.
  16. ‏@NBCSportsPR Top 5 rated NHL markets for reg season for combined NBC/NBCSN: Buffalo 1.17; Pittsburgh 1.15; Boston 1.00; St. Louis 0.95; & Chicago 0.90 Despite the Shart.
  17. Is this feeling based on factual evidence, or just a sense that no Buffalo team can be good at anything?
  18. Holy cow, some of you. Debating the GM in a season trying to finish last? Are we handing out style points?
  19. I didn't tell Fake Gorby to get lost, just take a breather from his tiresome crusade.
  20. Fake Gorby would lament the Sabres need a rich owner willing to spend money and get involved.
