Can someone tell me why Matt Ellis is still on this team? He never seems to go away and doesn't do much, there has to be someone better, right?

Thank you time warner cable for not letting me watch the game in HD because you continually suck at providing quality HD that actually works when it's supposed to. *sarcasm included

Sabres score twice in the first 2 minutes and lose 6-2. Feels like that kind of night

Anyone know how to turn autosave off? It's really slowing down my game... Alot

Just be glad there's sabres hockey to watch people. At least we aren't hearing and seeing Gary bettmans face every other night talking about "no progress" in the lockout

Win or lose, I'm just glad there is hockey

Wasnt he supposed to be out for half the season?

Game is on NBC. This can only mean the sabres lose 1-0 in OT

I know in past games whenever i played on the hardest level i would consistently lose by 3 or more goals no matter how stacked my team was, and on the 2nd hardest level all my games would be 1-0 or 2-1. Has this changed at all in NHL 13? Also, how is the online "connected careers?" Is it comparable to that of Madden 13's mode?

All I have to say is those were the two and half most miserable, depressing, dull and least exciting months of my life. I'm still kind of numb to the idea of hockey just all of the sudden being played. I think it will take me about 2 minutes into the first period of the opening game to get back into it and forget what occurred in the lockout.

We should have About 20+ beards come early June

Now we can start complaining about how the Sabres are soft and how they have absolutely no center depth.

The games that intrigue me the most are the western conference matchups. They seem to have more feistiness, pizazz and just a different more exciting flow/style

It seems like there are never two good days in a row for these CBA negotiations. I just want this to be over, whether it be by a lockout or by the season resuming, I'm just sick of hearing about it. I mean really, is it that hard to sit in a room for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and just hammer out a deal? Real people work a lot more than that during their real jobs, maybe these silver spooned cry babies should take our places and then they would appreciate what they have.

Does center ice usually continue during the playoffs?

Besides this message board, where is the best place to keep track of everything that goes on? NHL.com rarely provides anything

So we have until about January 15th for them to get this done?

So call me maybe

This is all too depressing. What the heck am i going to do with myself when May/June come along and there's no playoff hockey.... Just the thought of that is saddening.

This lockout is just a secretive marketing ploy to get good ratings for the winter classic. I mean really, how many Americans (and even Canadiens) really want to watch the maple leafs at redwings? But now that I am in need if watching hockey, this game looks enticing.

The only staged fights are the ones that involve players like Andrew Peters and Sean Avery. Usually staged fights occur right off the face off or away from the flow of play. Real fights which occur more often are usually scrums in front of the net, or after the result of a cheapshot or questionable play.

That is one of the funniest things ive ever seen. I wonder how many players fake being Hurt to get a penalty

What makes me happy is the fact that we know the Sabres are trying to acquire a star caliber player through trade. Even if it's not Nash or Ryan, this tells me there will be a major trade from someone at least. Hey, Even if We have this roster going into the season, we will still have the trade deadline for Darcy to make deals, and who knows, maybe more top tier players will be available.

This has turned into a "fantasy NHL 12 FA frenzy" thread.

Doesn't Suter and Parise signing with the SAME team hurt out chances in getting Ryan or Nash BECAUSE one more team will be in on them due to the two FA's signing on the Wild. This adds Detroit into the mix maybe?
