ROR wins Lady Byng Lehner wins Vezina Kane wins Stanley Cup Should this come to pass, Botts should be fired at the awards banquet.

Bots got rid of Kane a tough goal scoring power forward. Boy we could use a guy like that. A physical presence. His contract will look like peanuts compared to Skinners contract.

The Sabres could easily force his hand into choosing LTIR by sending him down to the minors like they did with Moulson. Given the choice of the getting concussed in the ECHL or being at home with the family and not having any risk of injury he would choose LTIR. I suspect something like this transpires this offseason especially if we need the cap space for a big free agent signing.

I dont think the video is live. It seems taped. like delayed 30 minutes

thanks but TSN blocks the live content in the US I think it is currently being shown on NHL network which I have at home but I can't figure out how to watch on my computer

any ideas?

He sounds exactly like my close friend’s son who is at Rochester and loves it.

I have a lot of experience with the admissions process and am currently going through it for the second time. My eldest is at Michigan. Is your child a huge sports fan? If so than Rochester may not be the ideal choice. A few of my friends had kids who were sports fans who regretted not going to schools with college sports. Florida is a great school and very difficult to get into congrats on that. My daughter got rejected by Florida Where else are you waiting to hear from?

I think you're losing it because IU lost to Purdue last night. Sorry, you didn't need that on top of the Sabres sparkling performance.

I'm going on the record as saying that trading Risto will be another terrible Botteril move like trading ROR and Kane. While Risto is not a Norris defensemen he is a solid right handed second pair physical guy. we have no one to replace him with. Bogo will clearly not be resigned when his contract is up.

If I’m the Pegulas, I have to wonder why JB got rid of 2 great players in ROR and Kane and got little in return. Moves like those do not inspire confidence especially with a terrible coaching hire and 2 terrible seasons now. Obviously JB needs more time but his seat is getting warmer.

People love to argue whether the tank works or not. The arguments here and war are endless.

The best part of all the losing is listening to Mike Shoope talk about tanking. So here we go again. The tank is officially on.

I think Bots will take the Darcy Regier approach build thru the draft. Don’t expect any Tim Murray moves

That was a soft goal. Ullmark has to stop that

I really believe that at this point Housley would like to get fired. It must be tough for him to live away from his wife for a long period of time. If you’re winning it’s doable but in this situation his life must be hell. If he gets fired he keeps the money and gets to hang with his family in Minnesota.

Under Bylesma the power play was decent. It’s on Housley for the complete regression of the power play

That may have been the worst power play I’ve ever seen

Wow the place is empty. I’m sure tickets were cheap on the secondary market. This reminds me of the Thrashers just before they moved. If the community won’t support the team they should move them to Quebec.

Dahlin is going to be a superstar but he is not close yet. When he become a Norris candidate in a few years we will hopefully be much improved. At this point he is a defensive liability.

Maybe JB deserves a bit of the blame here for assembling such a wimpy team. He got rid of our physical guys in Kane and Foligno and left us only with Bogo to intimidate. While I hope Okposo recovers quickly a LTIR for Kyle would help rid us of that onerous contract. Some folks here like to blame Jack for everything, he's not Mcdavid and he's not a leader like Toews or Messier, and he's not a intimidator like Chara but he is an awesome hockey player.

I agree that Scandella was much better last year. I’m not sure what happened to him this year. We do miss a physical presence that Foligno and Kane provided. The Dawgs are my 3rd favorite team after NU and Michigan. Based on your family’s affiliation you are certainly not a bandwagon jumper.

So despite being an IU alum you’ve adopted the bulldogs as your college football team. Well at least you’re not a complete masochist It’s tough enough being a Buffalo sports fan you need at least one competitive team. I’m an NU alum and my daughter is at Michigan. I think Bogo is decent when healthy and Dahlin has been great offensively but mediocre defensively but will be much improved next year. Scandella was another bad trade by JB.

OK GA sabres fan, you are one of my favorite posters but Sam is the least of our worries. He is playing well on the first line and the second line. The problem with Sam is he will want big money soon. Lets worry about how we are going to rid ourselves of the rest of the trash on the roster like Sobotka, Okposo, Scandella etc. Also your profile picture is problematic as PH needs to go. Perhaps a Thrashers logo would bring back some fond memories. BTW I live in buckhead and am a huge BIG 10 fan but not IU. Time to root for Michigan hoops and Northwestern football.

I think Eichel is hurt and will have major offseason surgery like a shoulder labrum or something like that. Just a guess but that is my prediction.
