Kevin Oklobzija @kevinoDandC2h
Either Winnipeg had an on-the-road organizational meeting in Buffalo Tuesday or they really want to see the #Amerks. 3 Jets scouts here.
Now we know why Pysyk got sent down. Jets are looking at him as part of a Kane trade and wanted to see how he looked playing with some decent teammates first.
(On a more serious note, after seeing Winnipeg's club footed defence yesterday, they could use Pysyk)

It will be months before I will have firm opinions on this but Dal Colle is an intriguing prospect.
-
If you took Kassian's aggressiveness and the energy he has shown he can bring to the rink...
The key word there is can.
If you watch Vancouver, Kassian simply does not bring it.
He's got the focus and drive of Drew Stafford right after he signed his new contract.
He meanders through most games in la la land, and those rare occasions he brings the nasty, it's usually negated by stupidity.
Canucks have a gaping hole on the Sedin line where they are using pluggers .
Torts flat out refuses to play Kassian there, saying he doesn't trust him.
Kid has a great opportunity and is being challenged by a good coach.
So far, he hasn't answered.
-
You had to figure that was coming as soon as Burke arrived.
He will hire a guy, but I'd imagine whoever it is will be a yes-man as he consolidates power.
Don't see this affecting our search much, but it may accelerate the process if Patty already has strong feelings about one of the candidates.
-
Fortunately Darcy laid the groundwork in such a way that Pat can build a winning culture and still reap the benefits of tanking.

From today's Buffalo News:
"Opponents are outshooting them by just 134-133 in the (past) five games. The average of 26.8 against is nearly 10 fewer than the previous 27 contests, when Ryan Miller and Jhonas Enroth must have felt they were in a county fair shooting gallery at times.
Buffalo held Montreal to 19 shots in Saturday’s 3-2 loss, its fewest by an opponent this year. On Tuesday the Sabres equaled their season high for a game (36) and set a season mark for shots in a period (18 in the second)."
-
Is the 39 the current level for the season, or the level since teddy took over?
What he said. If it's cumulative, then that's not bad. If it's a direct comparison, that surprising.
All I know is the shot totals seem a lot more equal now, and Duff actually shows us green sometimes in the intermission Corsi.
-
Does the RFA compensation require it has to be our pick in each of the next X consecutive years?
Or can we use other teams picks and stack them? For example, the Islanders this year, And St. Louis (miller) Vancouver (Moulson) and detroit's (Ott) next.
I'm not advocating that, just curious.
-
One we get to mid-season, I'd like to see a comparison done between Rolston's stint and Nolan's.
Bet the gains in possession, shots for and against, and defence are dramatic.
-
He's Corey Tropp with better hands.
Yep.
But if Ott, Miller, Moulson and Hank are gone, I'd overpay for him.
We are going to be desperate for veteran leadership.
-
Ryan Callahan is someone I believe the Sabres will try to target in free agency if he gets there, but damn, the guy gets hurt a lot.
-
Button has his latest rankings out:
-
Bouchard has a had a very disappointing career and is likely on his way out of the NHL.
And he can't be any worse than D'Agostini.
-
The Neal and Scott incidents are very good comparisons.
How can you make a case that Neal deserves less than Scott?
-
I just bet my friend $100 that new england would recover the onside kick, get a pass interference call in the end zone then score. Thank you so much for being so fixed NFL. I really mean it! Thank you!
Edit: and he paid up!
Un-######-believable, yet oh-so ###### predictable
-
You know, we really haven't had a horrible game all year.
After last weeks heartbreaker basically ending the season, I suppose we should have expected this.
-
Scott told Kessel he was going to go after him, made a half-hearted attempt to grab him, and never threw a punch.
Thornton grabbed an unsuspecting Orpik from behind, slew footed him to the ice, and punched him repeatedly while he lay there unconscious.
You're right. Exactly the same thing.
-
Thing is, even if we whiff on both lotteries, there is no franchise player this year, and Eichel looks like one next year after McDavid anyway. Win or lose we should get top six forwards both years.
-
PJ Stock blaming Orpik, Neal and the instigator rule.
Big surprise.
Stock: It would have been all over if there would have been a fight.
It (Thornton's blow) was just a minor punch.
No mention of the fact that Orpik's hit was clean.
Or any attention paid to the slew foot, or the fact he attacked him from behind.
The Bruins are just trying to play good hard hockey.
It's the Sabres fault for not defending Miller.
-
Ugly stuff going on in Boston tonight. Orpik makes a clean hit, Thornton doesn't like it, slew foots Orpik after play is stopped and then knocks him out cold while he's laying on the ice, gloves still on.
I'll try and find video. It's ugly.
Yep. John Scott is a thug.
-
I think the only reason that clause was in there was to protect Snow if the Isles "flukily" won the lottery this year.
I don't think the thought of them "earning" a spot this high in the draft was ever on his radar. He thought they were a team on the rise.
I doubt the fact they could this bad this year AND next - a real possibility - was ever a consideration.
He never would have traded for Vanek if it was.
It will be very interesting to see what they do.
-
I think we've had a real coach here long enough to see what we really have now:
Miller and Enroth are a good goaltending tandem
Ott and Leino are two-thirds of a good third line
Hodgson is a second-line centre
Myers and Ehrhoff are top-four defencemen
Ennis and Moulson are complementary offensive pieces, who need to play with better players
Because of age, or lack of skill, everyone else is just a body.

Did you see the author's surname? :blink:
Well, we all know you can't argue with Deluca.
And doesn't Drane talk about his Uncle Vito?
Which brings up a very important question: have you ever considered how many Sabrespacers are the fictional creations of the same twisted genius? I mean, have you ever seen Yuri and Chz in the same room?

Can't argue much with this take on Girgorenko:

Sure makes you feel really good about having those two in charge.
