Even strength time on ice after two: Eichel 9:40 ROR 9:15 Larsson 9:18 Kane 9:35 Pommer 9:06 Sam 8:23 Girgs 8:33 Okposo 8:28 Pouliot 9:19 4th line guys all around 6:30

Totally agree. "They did a lot of good things that period" Really? Do tell.

I wish the NHL has European soccer style relegation and promotion. Buffalo could drop down to the A and win some games, score some goals, and make the playoffs. It would be awesome! Larsson might actually be a 2nd line center in the AHL. Eichel could coast along and still score 30 goals.

Bingo

I think it's obvious...buy him a new phone.

Yup, my bad. Was operating until old information. He's been up for the last 7 games but a healthy scratch for 4 of them. Seems like 20+ minutes per game in the AHL would be better but who am I to question George McPhee's handling of young talent?

In a vacuum I'd say he'd be worth it straight up for Kane. Las Vegas has too many D-men under contract...he should be in the NHL right now. In the real world however Kane as a pending UFA isn't valuable to Vegas so it doesn't work. Maybe Nylander for Theodore? Of course it might help if Nylander could play hockey this year.

A cynic might say that. A delusional cynic.

Agree with this. Moulson is a sunk cost. Time to act rationally and let him go.

He retired. My recollection is the physical ailments piled up. And age.

Hey Reinhart dressed tonight! I hadn't seen him.

Apparently Sedin is so skilled he can control the puck with his mind

Should be no goal

Tennyson is so great on the PP

For the Sabres that means he's out 3-4 weeks.

We can't hang with Vegas...they're too hard working and smart for Buffalo

Love to see Eichel get a shot on goal tonight

In total agreement with this sentiment. Phil is saying "Hey Zemgus, nice job scoring and playing physical and fast hockey on Jack's wing...now go center the 4th line with Jordan Nolan." WTF

http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/how-long-should-a-team-hang-on-to-a-goaltending-prospect Article on Subban puts his development curve in perspective. Unclear how he'll do tonight of course...one thing is there isn't any NHL tape to study yet so he does have the element of surprise so to speak, at least for a few games.

It does not. However I don't eat with, fly on planes with, ride on buses with, sweat and physically bang up against, nor shower and change clothes with, any of my co-workers (except my wife :flirt: ). So I don't think my office is a good control group to compare vs. an NHL team. My recollection of fraternity (or dorm) living back in college however is that stomach bugs generally worked their way through the population pretty much every year. Or maybe that was alcohol poisoning? But anyway, my point is that I have no idea what NHL teams do or don't do to prevent the spread of communicable diseases, I just think that without some data and frame of reference this is sort of a fruitless discussion because their situation in terms of physical proximity is not really comparable to our every day experience. Maybe the army would be a better comparison. They certainly have a strong culture and rigorous practices trying to keep the soldiers from harmful bacteria and viruses before they worry about bullets and bombs.

Maybe they have. Is the prevalence of this issue more or less frequent on NHL teams than a control group with similar risk factors?

Almost a sure loss coming in Anaheim tomorrow so that'll be 6...maybe at Vegas on Tuesday they'll break through. Time to start getting excited about the draft again.

Yeah it's like a random number generator with those guys. Or shaking the magic 8 ball. "Try again later".
