    It is really interesting how much age impacts your memory in something like this. I think of Van as the Voice of the Braves plus an afternoon radio man, the host of It's Academic and Bowling for Dollars. I then looked at the years - he was off the Bills from my age 9-17, I haven't resided in Buffalo since 1980.

    My sentiments exactly!

    How old is Cal? Could he be a player/coach or some such? GMTM was talking about "discussing some different things" in response to the question about an Amerks coach
  4. mphs mike
    Absolutely! I truly feel like I did in the early 70's when we beat out the Red Wings for our first playoff series. This team is on its way

    Bert and, I believe, Morris titanic

    This discussion placed visions of Phil Esposito camped in front of the net
  7. mphs mike
    Very clear from listening to the presser that Chad Johnson is a placeholder
  8. mphs mike
    Second would be Bert with Schoeny third. Obviously, age is showing in this poll

    Been a little surprised at the series so for - I do believe that the winner this evening ends up hoisting the Cup.

    I'd move Crozier up to #2, although a distant second

    This is where I am. To this day I remain convinced that the reason Buffalo is the only place Scotty coached without playing in a Cup final is because it was his initial foray into coach/GM. As Gm he drafted Jiri Dudacek in the first round - essentially forfeiting the pick.

    For that kind of money, I'll bet Babcock views Buffalo as "hockey heaven"
  13. mphs mike
    I think it is very important that the report says Babcock is negotiating with Murray. I'm very hopeful that the GM is in charge of the decision on the coach - including "hockey power" details.

    Anyone thought about the tank for a prospect who MIGHT break a Jason Dawe scoring record!!!!

    I read the article as simply another scream by the print media from its deathbed. I love newspapers - but I will see the end of them in my lifetime, and I'm in my mid fifties!

    If he is a free agent he shouldn't be offered a player contract. As much as he bleeds blue & gold, he can't overcome being a red raider

    I agree - I also don't think Grigorenko gets traded until Eichel is signed - meaning I don't think he'll be a draft day trade.

    I remember being pissed that Dad took my mother, rather than me, to that game!

    He looked better in a Sabres sweater!

    This better lead to at least a Cup, but that requires some luck. You can build a Cup contender, you can't necessarily build a Cup winner. I view the Sabres franchise in the exact position they were when Punch was present for the spin of the wheel in 1970. We are going to pick 1st or 2nd and get the second coming of Bert. The team and fanbase will be energized and excitement will build over the next couple of years. We'll be a Cup contender for a decade or so, just like the 75-80 teams were. Worth it? Not necessarily, but dawn is on the horizon - I firmly believe we are about to become a perennial Cup contender, not a laughingstock or middling team annually fighting for 7th or 8th

    Don't traded players have to pass a physical or is that simply a clause that was ignored/swept under the foil hat?
  22. mphs mike
    Anyone else think that GMTM was referring to the 3rd goalie out in Ottawa as someone who might be available in a trade this summer that wasn't available at the deadline? What are your thoughts on Lehner or Hammond?
  23. mphs mike
    CLEARLY the post of the year!
  24. mphs mike
    Well played X!

    I understand the sentiment about not drafting from the Q but I sure am glad Imlach took a chance on that Perreault kid
