Where did he come from? Never heard of him.

I recorded and watched today’s Good Morning Football. With comments by the team and all their guests, it was an enjoyable 3 hours of coverage of Madden.

Because of the possible return on investment of a professional sports franchise. Now, I know that NFL & NBA franchise values increase tremendously. (Owners of Golden State Warriors thought to overpay for franchise in 2010 for $450M. Franchise now valued at $4.7B). I don’t know much about NHL franchises though, especially since they have not had the tremendous broadcasting contracts that the NFL & NBA have. This current contract is substantial however.

The games are in China. They’ll say “No pandemic here”.

Lose to the Sabres and it’s “I’ve had enough.”?

I guess he was ready for the big lights after all.

A league apology is worth less than the bandwidth it used.

In the time it took Zergas to position the puck properly on his stick, why didn’t anybody check him? Were they just watching?

Seems like a risky move. This could cause dissention in the locker room with all those players making only $750K. #sarcasm

Pretty embarrassing to get swept by the expansion team. IIRC the first time the Bills played the Seahawks they got embarrassed.

Always love seeing a fellow Ski on our teams.

That spreadsheet has too much data and, from your screenshot, there’s no way to tell how it’s sorted. Really, the best info to evaluate is Save%. I sorted it on Save% of Shots on Goal. No, Murray is not among the top goalies with a Save% of .890 but it’s a lot better than Dell’s .862. Next best stat is Goals Against Average, which doesn’t take into account the number of shots faced or the quality of shots faced. Murray’s GAA is 3.26, worlds better than Dell’s 4.56. Likewise, Tokarski recently had back-to-back games where he faced 40+ shots. His GAA of 3.05 is very good considering the number of shots he faces.

They didn’t retire it?

What about Maynard G. ?

9 games this season with no points. Let’s wait to see if Granato can work his magic on him.

I was watching the NHL Network and Kevin Weekes gave an update that he thinks it’s close and he gave Calgary as the top destination, slightly better odds than Vegas Golden Knights.

You never know. IIRC Mario Lemieux was possibly on track to challenge Gretzky’s records but had so many health issues. He had Hodgkin lymphoma, spinal disc herniation and chronic back issues. Still he kept making comebacks and at the time of his final retirement ranked 7th in career points.

I say, these 3 wins are great and all, but remember we were fooled by early season streaks in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons before reality hit. Hopefully this is different and only time will tell.

I guess I missed it. So, are they going with just Okposo and Girgenson as Alernate Captains this season, without a named captain?

How about an injured Eichel for an injured Byfield plus a couple picks? That sounds fair at this point.

So, it’s like this: Owen Power, you’ve just been selected first in the draft by the Buffalo Sabres. What do you have to say? “I’m going to college.” Devon Levi, you’ve just been traded to the Buffalo Sabres. What do you have to say? “I’m going to college.” Will we have a player quit in the middle of the season to go to college instead?

That shows you what they think of Craig Anderson and Dell.

I was just looking at the goalie rankings on Yahoo for our Sabrespace Fantasy League. No Buffalo goalie is ranked in the Top 100. The first goalie listed is Mat Robson at 122. LOL! Man, this is going to be along season for Sabres fans! Hey, SDS/Derrico, we should have a penalty for the first team to draft a Sabre. Maybe give them the worst waiver priority to start the season?

So, after 3 preseason games, Anderson and Tokarski have played the best in goal. Are they going to give Levi a shot?
