Two or less

Not sure, but his career sure did go down hill quick.

lol yeah. Solid price. Will sign up as soon as it comes available. If it was over $80 i think i would of thought twice about ordering it.

Yeah. The reason why our game is at 1230 is because the NFL conference finals are on from 3pm until 9pm...

haha almost. Last possible day to end the Finals is June 28th. Free agency begins July 5th. Also, Trade Deadline is April 3rd.

Wonder if schedule will still be released tonight? Two hours after MOU is signed, Hecht will officially be a Sabre again. MOU signed. Schedule release is IMMINENT.

More on Girgensons from WGR - http://wgr550.com/Girgensons-Ready-For-Bigger-Role-in-Rochester/15255319 Solid read. Also, those are pretty slick jerseys Amerks wore last night.

:thumbsup:

They do, but not necessarily for us. Several teams are deep on defense and could use a forward. Supposedly, Carolina is ready to offload a defensman, maybe even prior to training camp opening up, according to local media down there.

:lol:

Another team will give him a chance no doubt. If for any reason, it's because he's proven he can score at the NHL level, and has size. He may be out of favor with the Sabres organization for whatever reason. He just doesn't seem happy here and slows little emotion. In a decent sized deal, he could be the extra throw in that seals the deal for a trade. A risk with high reward for some team. The one player many always compare him to is Ryane Clowe. His stats are not that far off. Also, should be noted: Despite Adam struggling on the overall stats in Rochester, he has been playing much better as of late. In his last 16 games, he has 12 points, which includes 6 goals. In his previous 16 games? 2 goals, 3 assists for 5 points.

I agree with Inkman here. It's not being negative to think that Foligno, Stafford and Ennis won't continue on point/game rates. Ennis is clearly the best player of them all. He has a long ways to go to hit his peak. I once heard on CBC Hockey Night in Canada the intermission crew quote a league GM who compared Ennis to Pawel Datysuk offensively. Stafford is a streaky player. When he gets hot, he is a very good player, but when he's on his off nights, which last for quite awhile, he's not better then Erik Rasmussen. Foligno is what he is. A big dude, with some skill, huge heart and a drive to do whatever it takes to help the team. Confidence was as it is in all sports, was huge for him as he had a instant impact with the team. He's never dominated at any level offensively before. If it's OHL, World jrs, or AHL. It makes it hard to believe that he is a elite grinder at every level but in the NHL, highest level of all, he becomes a point/game guy, while throwing his body around. I don't see it. Ennis and Foligno are two of my favorite players on the team. I'm not dishing them because i don't like them. I just think that line will regress. Kind of like in our conference finals season where we lost to Carolina, our "best" line on paper was the third line, of Vanek/Roy/Afinogenov. People quickly forget Max lead that team in scoring. Top line was Hecht/Briere and second had Drury/Kotalik to take pressure off the 3rd line. Now, with tape on the Foligno/Ennis/Stafford line, and teams putting more of a point to contain them, they wont have the space as they did last season. I don't think Inkman has the "Buffalo feeling of always gloom and doom" but he's being realistic. I don't think he's mocking any of the players, atleast not from what i saw. He just isn't ready to be sold that these guys are as good as face of the franchise type. The type of run they were on last year was Malkin/Crosby like. While these guys are good players, and should help us win, they are worlds apart from that class. Thats not completely true. Ennis started season pointless in first 8 games. Then had 6pt in next 14 games. 6pt after 22 games played.

^^ Pretty cool ad.

I heard he'll wear #28. Also, something pretty cool, according to Garth, John Scott grew up as a big Buffalo Sabres fan.

How does one go from talking about Stafford into talking about getting rid of Ellis? Stafford is a player that needs to lead the team, that is counted for scoring goals and creating plays. Ellis is a expendable player, who is a nice bottom of the barrel role player. If he's "moved" its to Rochester. Of course it's easy to move Ellis. Ellis will get "moved" when Gerbe returns to the lineup im sure.

Per Sylvester today, the 24th will be a home game. 25th on road.

Those are not bad lines. Only problem is, it puts too much pressure on the top-6 forwards. Not sure how much the 3rd line can score. And we all know that 4th line won't be scoring at all. This is the opposite of a balanced attacked.

Yeah i heard the firing had nothing to do with the Luongo trade. Leafs have new owners and a very corporate structure now. They run the Leafs just like any corporation runs it's business. Burke on the other hand is not very pro-corporations and didn't care much for the suits. He swore in his speeches in board meetings and swore in random e-mails when responding to board members inquires. They warned him a few times.

Based on production, and what Lindy Ruff has said, i'd be beyond shocked if they split Vanek and Pominville up. Kevin Sylvester today made good points on lines- Vanek - Hodgson - Pominville Foligno - Ennis - Stafford Leino - Hecht - Ott Scott - Grigorenko - Kaleta (or Grigs on wing, Ellis at center) Grigorenko sees limited 5v5 time, but a lot of pp minutes.

Too much. Way too much. Looks like a really great crowd, on and off the ice.

They were too busy trailing Shane Doan all summer to worry about it.

Heard he's going to get a chance to play with Henrik and Daniel Sedin this season.
