he will learn soon.....

they won't make a coaching change this early. Maybe tippett could possibly be brought in as an assistant but there's no changes coming to the coaching staff or front office. Whay they need are some big hockey trades to shake things up

new leader of the "Rotten Core 2.0"? Anyone know if he has contacted Vanek for tips?

in a perfect world, yes, you just find a way to overcome and bad calls are forgotten, but that's just what fans of bad teams cause of what they think good teams do. And most of those 6 years were self inflicted when they decided to chase the dragon named McDavid.....

the mhm will make a quiet announcement that a mistake was made, their bad, and send a nicely worded letter/apology card and a fruit basket to the team and make it all better. Unless it happened to a poster boy or darling team, then they will re write the rule to make it even more objective and confusing

nah, that would make things easier for the refs, and make the game more enjoyable for fans cause the rules of the game would be easier for everyone to understand.

I could understand maybe if it was sitting on his stick, but he made contact before crossing , then didn't touch it again until he was over Want to make the game better ( and this is for all sports), get rid of all the additional crap on the rules. What's an offside? If any part of your body touching the ice crosses the blue line before the puck, it's offside.

At least the tank was worth it, this team is soooooo much better for it

Never knew your entire body can be a cross the blue line before the puck and not be offside?

Yeah, but that's after the game started

have the Sabres ever started a game with the lead?

ueah, most people call northern Ontario anything north of Toronto because Toronto is the centre of the Canadian universe apparently. Also I w would assume it's thought of that way because I'm sure it would be close to a 50/50 split population wise if you compared numbers of the population north of say Barrie and everything south of it. Usually when people refer to southern Ontario, the are talking about the little foot shaped area surrounded by all the great lakes.

I was a click away from ordering centre ice for this season tonight, then at the last minute changed my mind and went to bed early

i was going to say I hope the coaches found a nanny/babysitter to watch him before this game.....

has that stopped them in the past? Everyone always sit there and think the big market teams won't do anything or be able to make deals because of lack of cap space, prospects or othee assetts, then the big market club gets the player....

aside from Fleury (Who is highly overrated when with the pens) who was all that great that they were able to pick up and kept? Who were they able to sign before anyone else that was worth it? it is the only way to build a contender.......

and right now they could look down at the Sabres in the standings (if they were in the same division)

true But not so bad that he can be blamed for letting in goals on the bench

don't insult juniors like that, they actually play some really good hockey....

AHLer Tobias Lindberg Wrong Tobias I would have taken a shot at Pickard here. Sounded like an odd move by LV dumping him for Subban, but I guess Subban has the higher ceiling, but Pickard has more NHL experience....

Well you will, but it will be out of excitment and joy, not to drown your sorrows and rage...........

the goon enforcer, someone who can skate Ok, and not much else besides taking a punch are gone. Now the fans, and teams, want grit and toughness with the fighting ability to also come with another skill whether it be faceoffs, scoring, passing, or drawing penalties. They don't want to waste cap space and a roster spot for a guy who is only on the ice for a fight...

rumors now are that the team they are making a deal with is Boston for Duchene. Don't know what they have that the avs would want

Haven't the fans in Arizona been through enough with their team? Lol

could be that they talked and that he informed them he had better offers, but also hasn't this deal been brewing for a while now? There's been talk of the wild and sabres working on a deal for asking or longer then the interest in shattenkirk rumors. Maybe they want both? It allows them to dump bogo and gorges for whomever is willing to take on the contracts. Maybe this move also convinces shattenkirk that they are in a win now mode instead of wasting a bunch of years for the devils to get back to a playoff contender status?
