Doing a little scoreboard watching tonight Who are we cheering for? isles vs Rangers Senators vs Captials or doesn’t matter, just end in regulation?

Read up stream. I answered that question

We got through the last 3 games unscathed but I really don’t want to see much more of the Pilut Fitz pairing We are definitely pressing our luck at this point. need at least one of Power or Joker back soon

I’ll make you a gentleman’s bet that either one of Kulich or Savoie are on the opening night roster for the 23/24 season

I don’t think there is any room for him on line 1 and 2. At least not for a few years. Good problem to have

Sign me up for Simashev Size , skates well and strong Defensively. hope The Russian Factor drops him to 32 where the Sabres will be picking

There’s a lot to making team Canada 1) they usually take mostly older players only 2 players that are younger than Savoie on the team would be Bedard and Fantilli 2) he wasn’t at their summer camp as he missed all summer with a shoulder injury i wouldn’t worry about his point totals - he is a major contributor on a well balanced Winnipeg team From what I’ve heard (I didn’t subscribe to CHL TV this year) Savoie looks really good Adams has said as much as well as some online scouts who’ve watched him like Will Scouch and a couple of others Not sure how much stock to put into that but it’s better than them saying he looks terrible let’s see how Kulich ends the year Peterka didn’t really take off until after Christmas I also don’t expect him to be a scorer like JJ but more of a well rounded guy that would be an asset to the 3rd linE So it’s not all about points when it comes to Kulich

Yes , JJ and Quinn won’t be rookies any longer Kulich will have played 2 years of pro hockey and Savoie may be ready to step straight into the NHL. Hopefully he will otherwise he has to go back to WHL (I think ) But I’m also not giving anyone roster spots, they have to earn them.

All of them suffered by being on the Sabres too early. the Sabres failed them as much as they failed the Sabres

I’m at 75% that either Savoie or Kulich will be ready 55% both will be ready

Huge factor is what they think of Kulich and Savoie if they think they are both NHL players next year, I’d be very surprised if anything but a 4th line replacement for Okposo is picked up in the off-season The line_up would pretty well be set Tage Skinner Tuch Cozens Peterka Quinn Savoie Jost Kulich Girgs Krebs UFA

We can debate all we want between Dahlin and Thompson but no matter which way you rank them #3 on the list has to be Samuelsson. think their record is 13-4-2 with him in the lineup Im still dreaming of a line up that includes Chychrun dahlin Samuelsson Power Henri Chychrun Lyubushkin That’s a D that can win you a Stanley cup

Please yell that so everyone can hear it!!!

3 good games in a row over the last 3 games he has stopped 108 of 115 shots. .940% over that time the last 2 have been phenomenal not just good

Definitely need Power back, though Credit to Pilut. He had a really good game tonight.

Lazy???? The kid has been playing almost 30 mins a night for the last week. I seriously doubt there is any laziness to his game

I thought Dahlin looked tired tonight However, what a warrior playing the last 3 minutes straight rest up Dahls , one more game and get a nice break over Christmas

You are on my idiotic post list.

Or just spend their life’s crusty cause someone keeps peeing in theirs?

I wonder if people just watch the Sabres to complain about players they don’t like ? 🤷‍♂️

Islanders get a point. Losing 1-0 in a shoot out I will say this , isles have one hell of a goalie

Scoreboard was looking for there for 2 mins. Det up 2-0 vs washings (don’t want a 3 point game) and Bos up 4-0 vs Florida but things change quick in NHL these days

So I’m surrounded by leaf fans here in Burlington (half an hour outside Toronto). they scoff at me when I say “ Right now, Tage is the best player born in Arizona”. Of course they have 60 goals and the heart to fall back on but I believe Tage is having a better season they always argue. “ sure but no gm would trade Matthews for Tage straight up” I say , a smart GM would. 2 years of Matthews at $11 mill vs $7 mill for 7 years for Tage what do you think. Is there anyone who would trade for Matthews right now if the cost was Tage?

Brawndo by a Billion!!

Can you remind me. Who traded Risto and got the 14 overall pick for him?
