Ullmark is the man. McCabe and legwand nice work. Oreilly on the face offs was clutch. Bylsma looked fired up woo
-
Unbelievable. Ref had eyes right on it and deliberately chose to not call it. No way that was missed
-
Leggy has been good. I think McCabe has had a great game too
-
Eichel definitely having a rough game. Oh well
-
I hate the yeichel call. Can't stand it actually. Cringed when I heard it the first goal he scored and actually assumed it was a mistake and RJ was just in the moment. Really hoping it doesn't continue
Personally I wish there was a Hyde on one of the NHL teams we could trade for so we could have the 'Jekyll (J Eichel) and Hyde

Bachelors and Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering ...
and working as a Power Engineering consultant down in Florida. Makes sense right? Couldnt find a job so hopped on an opportunity and so far so good.

heres a question, is there a scenario where pittsburgh will only need 1 point to make the playoffs tonight??
If so, do you think we see Ted Nolan pull the goalie if it is tied late and go for the win? How awesome would that be to knock the Pens out in the fan appreciation game with less than a minute left and the goalie pulled -- in a tied, meaningless game for the Sabres?! :w00t:

Me too, makes a lot of sense and will make the lottery more interesting

Still a 20% chance for last place overall to pick first in 2015 draft. Top 3 spots up for lottery in 2016
@BNHarrington: In the 2016 NHL Draft, the lottery will determing the top 3 places and the worst team could slide to as low as No. 4
@BNHarrington: And now the NHL announces the draft lottery changes: Odds of No. 1 drop from 25 percent to 20 but worst team retains No. 2 in 2015 (more)

played around a little for fun, got rid of some of the stupid shadows the logo has

deleted the tweet. he's getting raked over the coals from all directions. memes are popping up. they're sadly and brutally hilarious. it's the end of his world as he knows it.
and i feel fiiiiiiine...
its just too good…now he's saying that he has no idea what people are talking about when they say he tweeted about eller demanding a trade, and that there are plenty of 'fake' hockey insider accounts with different spellings that impersonate him... all while people screenshot his tweet and send it to him with the exact spelling of his twitter. what an idiot
-
might be the most embarrassing thing hockeyinsideerrrhas ever done and thats saying a lot hahaha
-
Risto, Big Z and Gus are doing a good job of converting me. Grig and Armia...not so much
I thought kids came out of the 1st slit? :unsure: and how did you get up to 7? I mean 3 are pretty obvious but 7. I mean are you counting armpits, knee bends and fat rolls?
Too far? :)
ear canals and nostrils maybe if you have a micro, plus the main three… annnnnd that takes it too far

noone is worried at Zadorov being near 240? i didn't think he would project that high after we drafted him....
Fwiw I think he was 228-230 at the draft so he put on about 10lbs but was still growing at 18 so not totally unsurprising. hopefully mostly muscle just from working out though. I read some flyers boards saying Sam morin from the same draft put on 20+ lbs, and seeing a before and after pic of him is Mindblowing how much his physique has changed in one year. From boy to man. I'll see if I can find it
Middle, then right. Maybe it's just the hair lol
-
I keep biting my tongue at everyone who says he looks slow. I was stoked when they drafted him because he's not a flashy skater. He's extremely smooth. There is no wasted motion or energy in how he moves.
So to some people he looks slow. But I think his skating ability just makes him appear that way.
Agreed. If I'm not mistaken zadorov was one of the fastest skaters in the entire 2013 draft. Maybe he doesn't have the quickest feet but he's definitely not slow
-
Sizes and weights and testing results from the dev camp... Zadorov at 238. Wow.

@NHL: SEASON IN :60(ish): Will we see these (and more) highlights from the @BuffaloSabres in 2014-15? http://t.co/3ItyYUY6Tn
Sabres season highlights in 60 seconds. Couple of gems from girgensons. Wish they'd do a lowlight video, that could be highly entertaining. Sabrepede, I'm looking at you
-
heres a nice read on grigorenko...
i like that he is taking responsibility and trying his best to improve -- he really wants to. also liked that he's excited about most likely starting the season in rochester and getting 'a lot better'
Side note - ristolainen lost 22 pounds apparently… he calls it 'baby fat'
-
I'll take it. Good term and small enough to trade away possibly.
yep, bought some UFA years and we get to see how he fits with the team as we get bigger and better. (well hopefully we will be in 5 years)

Kevin Weekes @KevinWeekes 48s
BREAKING : It's believed Ennis deal with @BuffaloSabres is in 5 yr 23 Mil range with a 4.6 Mil AAV.
@NHL @NHLNetwork
pretty much what i expected… hopefully no NTC though

Just got home from development camp and will post my thoughts. I haven't read anything on this thread yet so sorry if it's been repeated. Also, I realize this is one scrimmage in July and probably has little meaning but I'm going to state my opinions anyways.
Carrier. Wow I have to start with him. I was really looking forward to seeing him and fasching as I didn't know much about either before the deadline deals. Fasching is pretty decent but needs atleast two years before he even sniffs the show. Carrier on the other hand was excellent. One of the best out there for sure. When we got him I was disappointed we didn't get the blues top pick (can't remember his name) but carrier is going to be a good one. Baker had him ranked outside our top 10 prospects. If that's the case we really are stacked.
Reinhart. I drove a round trip of five hours mainly to see him and he was invisible out there..and i was watching for him! It wasn't just that but he showed very little compete. He looked like he was skating at half speed, I really hope that isn't top speed. You could see the smarts when he was in the d zone he was almost always in the right spot but then did nothing when the puck actually got there. I hope he plays much better in training camp or I'll have no problem with them sending him back.
Speaking of invisible, that was grigo. In warm ups he was stick handling between pucks and he has sickkkk hands, you can just see the talent. But game time comes and he was invisible. This is his third camp, he should be much better than average at this point. I did see him throw one hit atleast.
Lemieux. I know a lot of u wanted that Russian kid with this pick but I think he's the type of guy buffalo has needed for a long time. He was chirping after every whistle and even almost got in a fight with risto after the second ended. If he won't back down from someone mature and 6 4 he won't from anyone. When we finally make the playoffs again he will be a gem.
Baptiste is the real deal. That season in Sudbury was no fluke. He looks fast and smart out there.
Ulmark was the best goalie out there tonight...by a lot. Let's hope he can build off his monster season last year and he may be a legit prospect.
Risto was one of the best players out there. He looked huge, smart, with a great shot.
Zadorov looked very lazy at times but he's so big and strong that he could get away with it in this game. I hope he won't pick up bad habits if sent back to London.
Really liked mcabe tonight.
Bailey had a bit of a down year in Kitchener and did not look great to me tonight.
I have to end with wilhelm. The kid was what a fifth rounder? He has some great skill out there. He obviously needs to get bigger as he was pushed around a lot but I was surprised with his play.
good write up i agree with basically all of it. As for carrier, Baker has been saying not to sleep on him from the minute he was traded here and said not to be surprised if he sees time with the sabres this upcoming year because he plays a pro-style game. maybe he doesn't have the highest upside hence his ranking outside the top 10, but he should definitely be an NHL player. Im excited for him.

Who stood out? Nolan, Murray, Devine and a whole bunch of scouts sitting in the club level. Nolan was like a rock star sitting in the last row and people just lining up for pictures. I'm guessing at some point GMTM said knock that ###### off as by the third they were more protected and doing pics.
GMTM was GMTM focused on the roster sheet and his phone. Our club level as this group sitting there emphasizes gives a great vantage point to watch the game. I love mine and it's in a corner.
I have some pics but I use IE 11 and this site hates it. So I won't do it tonight but will try to post them in this thread by the weekend because I don't have time right now.
Players that stood out? Sadly not much to me but there was definitely some intensity. Couple of solid hits and a fight but, and I hate to say this, I wanted certain guys to OWN the ice and I didn't really come away with that. Gergs had a couple nice shifts and was a bull a time or two. But he's an NHL player. Grigo I am hoping that the weight he added would make him more prominent, dominant, physical or something and I am still really hopeful for him but didn't get what I was looking for tonight from him.
Risto and Pysyk fine but again they are now NHL'ers and I expected them to OWN the ice.
Lemieux had a couple of moments but definitely doesn't make the team based on what I saw. Zadorov the conquering hero, really did nothing to lessen himself in my eyes but his next step should be Roch and since he can't go there I think he gets protected minutes in Buf. He will make mistakes. And he will make many more plays that make you smile. Not sure what he ended up with but at least an assist and +3 tonight.
Samson. Showed skill. Sadly to me he will need even more protected minutes than Zad. Why does it seem that we are getting boned with this junior rule repeatedly? Grig, Zad, now Samson. From what I saw I would put him in Roch also. Not top six minutes. So Tankers you may get your wish this season.
The most impressive I saw tonight was Ullmark. Guy gave up ZERO rebounds that I saw. Makarov looked pretty damn good also.
Edit: also what stood out was the we are using a goal siren followed by a song I don't know and don't care about. But the siren stood out for sure.
I thought everyone hated internet explorer, not just this site :P .
Agreed that Ullmark was the best on the ice, but Makarov didn't look very good in my opinion..let more than a couple easy shots trickle thru, and was saved by florentino at the goal line on one of em.

So for the people that went or were actually able to watch the game who stood out for u? How did Reinhart and Grigrenko do? Who was a player u didn't expect to be so good? Not much mention of Compher or Fausching?
Reinhart and grigorenko were both ok, nothing spectacular. few nice plays or passes here or there. Fasching IMO was one of the best players out there tonight noticed him a ton along the boards he's so strong at protecting the puck and just looks massive out there. Compher I didn't notice much at all.
Catenacci I didn't like his game, quick and good stick handling but seemed selfish.
Guy I was most surprised about was florentino he was all over the place in a good way (but he did get burned by baptiste once who looked good, great skater).
Also carrier had a great game but I am very high on him so not very surprised by that but others may have been
Risto girgensons and Ullmark were my top 3, really think we may have found one for the future in Ullmark
Oh and wanted to add that I thought sundher played a great game as well I was surprised by him. looked fast smart and dangerous with the puck
-
i think carrier is the most underrated prospect that we have… guy plays a pro style game and has been hampered buy injuries the last couple years. people view him as just a toss in in the miller/ott trade but he is anything but. he was a second rounder in last years unbelievably deep draft and st louis traded up to draft him there. he certainly has potential I'm excited to see him in rochester this year.

While having no idea what their actual policy is, if they were to keep an athlete from competing for his country in the olympics because he would miss 6 games of a freshman season, well then shame on them. Olympics are much bigger than college hockey and if he competes and does well it will actually gain exposure for their program, and id expect they realize that. Who knows if he would ever get a shot to play in the olympics again
