Mustache of God

After the round robin games the names that have been sticking out so far have been Guhle, Asplund, Dahlin, Glotov, Mittlestad, Pekar. Oloffson had 1 nice goal. Edit to also include Pilut's name, he's looked good as well. Would like to see some finish from Dahlin. By my count he's a minus-3 so far...is it too early to label him a bust?* *just kidding

Ennis being bought out today. And also Mason who was traded to MTL along with Armia today.

Dahlin had a penalty shot but couldn't convert...he's looking smooth out there nonetheless.

Oloffson just had a real beauty of a goal.

The goalie for the gray team, Hunter Sheppard, is easily the best goalie so far. Glotov is looking good on gray and Pekar is playing a firm, almost throbbing, game.

Pekar roughhousing Middlestat...guy likes going after the big guns....I liker it.

Team Navy (Dahlin) lost the first game to Team Gray. Dahlin looked good but couldn't finish. Pekar with a nifty goal for gray.

Here's a link to the rosters & rules for the tourney today: https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/2018-french-connection-tournament-rosters/c-299353588 I think I'm rooting for Team Martin but the true winners today are Sabres fans.

Can he stop more than 1 shootout attempt in a 3 year span?

Is this do or die for Alex Nylander? I'm hoping he shows up, makes an impact and stays healthy.

I tried to start my tank today but the engine wouldn't turn. I took it into the dealer but they're saying the warranty just expired. Figure I'll sell the tank for scrap metal as it's probably time to move on.

Seeing the list for Tavares my first thought was "I hope he goes to San Jose, be fun to watch him set up Kane" but then I remembered we have San Jose's 2019 pick so I want them to not be scoring goals. I'd like to see him go to either Tampa or Dallas. Dallas because it'd be nice not have him in our division and Tampa because that'd make them an offensive juggernaut and would be entertaining to watch. Tampa would also have to free up some cap space which might mean we can get someone from them? My money is on him not going anywhere.

So if the Sabres were to sign Vanek in FA would Vanek have to ask Dahlin to wear #26?

How about a Ron Rolston division?

I commented before I saw you said it'd be a great filler for the July 1st - September X wasteland of hockey news.I support that idea.

This is a fantastic idea, however, I propose this tournament can't be held until the team makes the playoffs.

Development camp starts Wednesday. He's going home after development camp. Could you imagine though? "No, i prefer not to participate in a camp with inferior players"

I hope Pu and Pekar play on the same line someday.

Woo! WE DID IT LADS!

Do they hand out gift bags each time someone scores in that league? Why is he given a gift bag? I've seen this clip a bunch and am always baffled by the end of it.

I don't understand how anyone can still be advocating for Lehner. He's a horrible goalie. I don't care that he can stop a lot of low risk shots, so can any other goalie. Lehner consistently let in short-side softies and I've never seen another goaltender bite so hard on a first deke and get so sprawled out of position and burned so often. Then there's the shootouts. Anyone whose watched him play can tell you his stats are meaningless. Not to mention the locker room presence, blaming Toronto for fixing games against Buffalo, I recall a Karlsson quote after Lehner got traded saying "it's nice that guys can finally relax around here" . The guy is a fragile headcase. He also once wore a helmet with Trumps name on the back so he can go get . Good riddance.

They're not suggesting 7 overall for Reinhart straight up, are they? There'd need to be another piece coming back, right?

My initial reaction is "if you have to ask this then they're not legit" Rumours abound this time of year...

The more the idea of ROR going to MTL is floated the more I'm warming up to the trade for no reason other than Bergevin is a proven trainwreck of GM and I think JBOTs can do some serious fleecing. I don't know enough but MTL to float any proposals but I'd hope ROR would not be the only sabres heading that way (send them Girgs, or Larsson who can both play cetner with Montreal needs).

Vanek is a more productive winger than Larsson, Wilson, Girgensonson, Pominville and Rodriguez (maybe not for long, he's trending upwards and is more versatile and he'd be the last on this list of players for Vanek to replace). Adding Vanek and having him push out one of the above would boost our offensive production, which this team is desperate for, and upgrade the team. I still think there's a lot of action to be had in the next two weeks and my hopes are JBOTS makes some moves that have better wingers coming to this team and we won't need talk about adding Vanek as the needs have been addressed.
