sabre snipe

I highly doubt any team is going to tank when they have a good shot at the playoffs and playoff revenue.

this is where i am now… theres just too much wrong with it to really enjoy it, but i have invested too much time in it to stop. plus theres nothing else on tv right now. Once Game of thrones comes back, i will be a happy man

@SabresProspects: Nikita Zadorov gets 2+2 in London's 6-3 win over Windsor. Zadorov's first-ever 4-point game, had 6 pts in 20 playoff games last year

Lol, I second that

isles getting smoked 6-0 right now by minnesota and 2 goals for moulson. thats insult to injury :w00t:

Subban is the Ndamakong Suh of the NHL. Dirty. Maybe we should just call him PK Suh-ban. Or PK Suh-shana-ban if he gets suspended (he won't)

Can the amerks still miss the playoffs? If enroth is gone longterm and lieuwen is called up they may not win another game all season with Hackett and that dumpster diving defense they have currently

Haven't seen any of his play but how bad is Matt Hackett? Pretty sad how far he has fallen

No. We need high end talent

Im not sure… but i just realized reinharts bday is 11.6.1995, so baptiste is only three months older than reinhart and baptiste has nearly as many points as him, plus he's pretty much doubled his points total from last season. Thats an incredible improvement. In a redraft Baptiste has to be a surefire 1st rounder at this point

absolutely. and hopefully they did their research on deslauriers and fasching as well and it works out too. also interested to see what Hurley does next year at Notre Dame…haven't heard all that much about him

Michigan Hockey ‏@umichhockey 58s GOAL! Luke Moffatt with a one-timer, top corner at 4:50, feed from Compher. A PPG. 3-0 Michigan #GoBlue #B1GHockey Make that 2 assists for compher

Kris Baker ‏@SabresProspects 1m Nick Baptiste has his 45th goal of the year. Sudbury tied 2-2 with Belleville at end of the 1st. #Sabres this kid is a force right now. ANOTHER goal.

holy cow leino wtf r u doing. gets a great feed from risto and blows it with a stupid pass to a covered guy in the slot when he should've put it on net

weber + McBain :) :)

risto showing great ability to get his shot thru to the net. haven't seen that in forever

Compher with an assist early in their game against Minnesota tonight

Weber + McBain :)

while id love them to keep the draft as it is for sabres sake and thinking about a good big team like boston/chicago/toronto etc undeservingly getting mcdavid makes me wanna puke, why wouldn't this idea for the draft lottery work? they keep the same odds for non-playoff teams and put in an equitable amount into the hat, but get rid of the 'only drop one draft spot at max' idea. Pull the 1st lottery ticket out with those odds, thats the first pick. Keep all the tickets in the hat still minus the teams that got selected 1st. Pull out a second, thats second pick. third, thats the third pick and so on. This way, the sucker teams still have a better shot at a high pick but its not guaranteed 1st or 2nd - its most likely 1-5 tho. I think this would make the lottery much more exciting and allow some teams to move up a few slots and others down a few

Id like this a lot. I was in the reinhart camp but I'm starting to come around towards bennett. i like that he's younger and feistier. and getting drasaitl while risky could work out beautifully from the 4 spot. hopefully all these guys make the playoffs and we can see how they perform. Either way i fully trust murray knows who the guy will be. I was just thinking imagine if neuvirth becomes a great starting goaltender and we don't enter goalie purgatory. What a genius Murray will look like. theres a reason he went out and got him however if reinhart was still there at #4 id take him over draisaitl regardless of if we already took bennett. And on second thought, after trying to type draisaitl and butchering it 10 times i don't want to draft him anymore just so i don't have to try and type it again.

I wonder if the islanders have a cut off draft position for where they defer/not defer. Right now it looks like they'll finish no better than 5th worst, so the 6th draft slot looks like worst case for them. So if they draft 6th do u think they still give us the 2015 pick? How about 5th? 4th? Etc. And as a fan, is there a certain slot where ud rather have their pick this year over next year? For me I'm going to be happy either way, but if their pick is 1-4 this year I may be happier just taking this years and having that pick be one year closer (hopefully) to the nhl

Liking deslauriers as well

So who's the dick that said they are surprised that Myers hasn't been hurt yet???

That's a ###### joke referee should be suspended. Unbelievable. Lose the goal AND the power play for that ######.

Surprised there hasn't been more talk about Larsson (unless it's in the amerks thread). But two more goals tonight. He is en fuego
