What we can't find some kid touching conspiracy to pin on Ralph?
Ralph met Pegula once back when Pegula bought the Sabres so clearly Ralph new about Penn State.

Tell me again how much you like Drew Stafford's game.
Hodgson has offensive talent, as does Drew Stafford. The idea that Hodgson works harder on the ice more than any other player is a mythical fallacy that hasn't been seen on this board since early last season when posters tried to push Leino's game by talking about "how strong he is with the puck" and how "strong he is in the corners." Hodgson's game is nonexistent in the defensive zone, he has zero physical game and he is as prone to shifts of floating as his team mates.
I think "Fanboism 101" is a better option.
Two years ago I started talking about a difference in Tyler Myers game and how he appeared to be regressing. How did posters respond, I was 'silly" or a "hater." Where is Tyler Myers game today? Myers game is where I saw it heading two years ago.
How many posters were of the opinion that the Sabres should trade Drew Stafford before they gave him the new contract? I know I was? I said at the time Drew Stafford will never be the that type of player again and that it was all about the contract. Two years later where is Drew Stafford's game? It's where I saw it heading.
Considering my track record, I'll continue to have more faith in my opinions than the fanboi's of this board. So, "troll" on that for awhile.
I find it highly interesting that Zack Kassian you see the Sun and Stars in but Myers and Hodgson, two players that are almost the exact same age, they are crap! Kassian can become superman but Cody and Tyler, they are already counted out. Seems one sided to me.
As for the Stafford thing, yes you and others were indeed correct about him. Cody Hodgson looks nothing like Drew Stafford.

So are people getting ahead of themselves with Girgensons, based on a Gragnani-like sample size? People I respect are penciling him into the lineup in the top-6, and Matt Coller who I also respect has demanded he be in the lineup. I'm excited about him too, but I think we need to take a deep breath and remember a year ago he was in the USHL and spent the vast majority of the year in Rochester playing wing in sheltered minutes.
Yea I agree that we are ahead of ourselves with him. I agree with some other posters here that he should be playing 18-20mins a night on the Amerks top line. He should spend the entire season there playing in all situations and never once be called up to Buffalo regardless of injuries and how he progresses. Next season, unleash the beast.
Honestly I really want to see Girgensons play all season with Catenacci. Those two should be able to light it up. Larsson should be the 2nd line Center or Girgensons other winger. Let us start building chemistry now with these guys and see if they can tear up the AHL. Lots of time to let them develop. 19/20yr olds can sit in the AHL for a year or two more, learn to be pros.

I love the WTF look on the face of the woman in the corner of the last picture. That sums the whole thing up perfectly.
Lol yes it does.

Somehow, I don't think people are going to be happy about this:
I am always amused how these multimillion and billionaires need public money to found their pet projects... okay that is just my mini rant.
Detroit needs a new arena and maybe some economic development will help. I look at Buffalo and think how lucky they are to have UB and Pegula and the Casino all investing in DT. (The Casino is still happening right?)
-
He looked really good in the highlights I saw from the game. I have high hopes for him. He has some attitude and some serious drive, I like it.

Still should not have been drafted in the 1st round but here you go.

We are going to see a better Myers under Rolston, than we did under Ruff.
I agree. I get the impression from Darcy (sorry ppl just relax) and Rolston that being lazy in the summer and coming to camp unprepared will not be tolerated. I hope Rolston goes all Herb Brooks on the lazy guys... again. again. again. again.
Speaking of Tyler Myers... James Patrick compares and discussing him and Oleksiak
“I definitely think it’s a fair question, but I won’t have an answer for a while,” Patrick said when asked about any comparisons between the two. “I do think it’s a challenge for a player of that size, and it is a learning process. Tyler still is learning.
“I think one of the things that affected him was he was given so much responsibility so early that he felt he had to maybe do too much, that he tried too hard at times,” Patrick said. “I’m not sure where Jamie is yet, but I do think there should be lessons that I’ve learned through Tyler that should be helpful in Jamie’s development.”

The girlfriend loves the minions from Despicable me so she made this and sent it to me. I also posted the Video so you can see the reference.

KS was suggesting Tyler Myers is currently in outstanding shape, but didn't come right out and say it. KS also had reason to believe he'll bounce back this season, but didn't say why (why didn't he say why?? argh). Both KS and AP glossed over the fact that Myers played pretty alright towards the end of last season, and KS could've said that, so I'm not sure what they're holding back. Listening to this show is weird.
i believe what they did not say, probably because they assume ppl know, is that Myers has been in Buffalo this summer working out. I am not sure for how long or if he is still there but I saw something on twitter a month ago about how Myers was in Buffalo. Don't remember who or the context but I am guessing that is what those two goofs are referring to.

Toby Keith met with a quadrapalegic man at Darien Lake. The man paints portraits with his mouth and gave Toby Keith one. Toby posted about it on his FB

Paraphrasing: There's a lot of talent on this team. If every guy had 30% of Matt Ellis's heart, they'd have been a playoff team.
Responding: No, there isn't. That's the problem.
I agree. A lot of unproven talent and not enough veteran talent.
Interesting that both think that Myers will come back as a beast this season. "He has a lot of pride." Well I hope this is the case I remain very skeptical of Myers ability to mature mentally and just be able to play. Also he better show up in top shape or they should ship him out immediately. You don't want to work in the offseason out the door you go.

Stop whatever you're doing and tune in today; the guest is none other than MATT ELLIS!
HOLY WASABI BATMAN THATS HOT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't follow baseball much ubkev thats why but I think it is pretty troubling considering how often this issue comes up in baseball.
On a different note. NBC Sports gets Nascar for the next 10years. Regarding NBC airing the final 20 NASCAR Sprint Cup races in 2015: There will be 7 races airing on NBC and 13 airing on NBC Sports Network.

#Flames sign Sean Monahan to his three-year entry-level contract.

Stafford has played to his ability exactly two out of his seven seasons: First, in 06-07, when he was trying to make the team. Then, in 10-11, when he was trying to get a contract. That's it. He is lazy. He does not play to his potential. There is no reason to expect this to change. Get rid of him.
O I agree we should get rid of him because he doesn't fit the work hard mentality that we are trying to build. But he should statistically look better on paper this season than he did last year.
Kassian to Vancouver for Hodgson

Quick name a team that won a cup since the 05 lockout that didn't have a "power winger" now name one that didn't have a top 2 center....
the mythos of Kassian continues.
Also I doubt very much that Zack Kassian maxes out as anything above a borderline 2/3line winger. Kid doesn't have the heart.
