How does your brother-in-law know Erik Karlsson

This whole game reminded me of the first Rocky movie, Latvia fought against the favorite, held to the end, and though they lost on paper they earned great respect from everyone. Girgs and Ozlins led in ice time

I wonder if we could still finagle Oshie off the Blues at some point, it'd have to be in offseason though most likely. Great win by the U S of A!

So what time does the Latvian game start today?

In that last skirmish, if you replace Leino with Moulson we are almost assured a goal there. The tank rolls on but I really feel bad for the Sabres players, hey worked hard to get back in the game only to lose to a heartbreaker.

How dare you list the I only reason to watch the sabres...(girgs) I said Moulson will have the largest return and no trades are done until after the Olympics

Which D-man is the odd man out? If Risto,Zadorov, and McCabe all pan out who do we keep? Myers Ehrhoff Pysyk McNabb Ruhwedal Weber McBain only 3 of them would stay in the NHL. And besides Weber/Ehrhoff they're all young and typically successful Ds have 1 vet at minimum.

The NHL must just hate the Sabres

Leino obviously

If we were to attempt to trade Miller for Tarensenko, how much of the trade would Miller be worth? 25% 50% 75% ? I'm not naïve to think Miller for Tarensenko is possible, however with the depth St.L has already and their need for a vet potentially elite goalie if Murray were to insist on Tarensenko do you think it could happen? In the ideal scenario we'd have 3 teams(St.L, Minn{Harding still injured}, Wash) bidding at Miller, and potentially a couple others. (Anaheim? NYI? Chicago even?)

If we have the #1, the first thing I'd do is see if we could fleece Edm into sacrificing goods to Buffalo for Ekblad, seeing as the last thing Edm needs is another forward.

To be honest I'm glad they haven't yet, I don't want us expending assets to get a guy we can pick up in the offseason for free. I love him to pieces but not enough to trade for him when he's a UFA

Myers looked like he was the only D-man tonight, -4 but only the 6th goal was really his fault. Girgs should be on the PP, he's better and playing "Leino's hard to knock off puck" style than Leino himself.

Wouldn't mind Cole Schneider either. From Williamsville

If anything I'd guess Moulson dislocated his shoulder based on his agony versus the actual hit/slash. Hopefully all they need to do is pop it back in an he'll be back. If he's injured past the deadline I have no doubt we'll sign him to at very least 1 or 2 year deal. (So he could be traded next year) Girgs snaps his pointless streak with 1g and 1a, that alone was worth the win against our nice tank.

Yes, all yes. Especially if Ott is traded without him returning.

Girgs is likely tired after last night's game

CoHo with a 2nd

However Grigo would be worth the most in theory to the only coach who've been successful with him and Ehrhoff may put them over the top. This all contingent on OReilly and the Avs still have hard feelings which is honestly the most important question.

However he's a very good offensive defenseman, he's not supposed to be a team's #1 dman. #2 or 3 with top PP time is what he's great for

Rather than giving a sarcastic reply give actual reasoning...... Ehrhoff can be a great d-man as we saw there. Grigo was a 1st rounder 2 years ago.... Neither are garbage

Maybe Hoff and Grigo for OReilly? Well something like that

That play just made me move Ehrhoff to a trade asset, there's bound to be a vet d-man we can sign in the offseason.

Does NBC ever shut up about the Pens being gods......... Hell even when we were good they had a love affair with the Pens. Teddy with funny quote in interview

McBain has looked horrid tonight
