I mean, this kind of stuff either matters to you, or it doesn't. I can't feel enraged by this, even though you've brought it up many times.

Impact player? Like a player that would have a bigger impact than hitting on a QB prospect? Not likely.

What would happen if Teds Nolans coached in the AHL? NHL grinders are the talented guys in the AHL, so would he gel with them?

Round 2 opponent: Boston Bruins Game 1 Sabres 5 Bruins 4 The Sabres close out a close game against a hungry young bruins squad. After trading nearly their entire team for Seguin and Kessel, the Bruins discovered that Brad Marchand was really the second half of Kessel's body. Once whole, Kessel dominated play as a fat-scumbag-speedster-sniper-agitator. Kessel was up to their usual tricks, notching a hat trick early against the Sabres. Things were looking down until 24 year old Rasmus Ristolainen (pictured below) separated Kessel's body once again with a perfectly timed open ice hip check. Kessel lost nearly 40% of his body mass, but it was mostly in his nose. Rasmus would finish the night with 2 goals, scoring the game winner with 2 seconds left. Game 2 Sabres 3 Bruins 5 After getting used to skating without a 45 pound nose, Kessel looked even faster in game 2, notching 4 goals. Mark Pysyk notched 2 butt-goals into the crack of Bruins GT Jhonas Enroth, but was also victimized in his own end by old-man Lucic. Lucic finished with a goal, an assist, and a fight. (He ended up fighting his own teammate after accidentally spearing one of Kessel's 3 nuts. DeLuca argues that this is exactly what the Bruins needed to get back into the series.) Sabres captain Zemgus Girgensons destroyed the locker room after the game, unhappy with his team's effort. Reports indicate that he also confiscated 2 turntables and 1 microphone from the team music room. Team karaoke stalwarts Tyler Ennis and Jack Eichel had little to say in their post game interviews. Game 3 Bruins 0 Sabres 27 With Sam Reinhart returning from injury, the Buffalo Sabres dominated center ice once again. Eichel and Ennis played with their hair on fire, each notching at least 13 points. Zemgus Girgensons tried to fight the entire Bruin 4th line again, but Babdick called him back to the bench to have a serious talk with him about preserving his hands so he can lift the cup. Nick Deslauriers took over the fight, slaying 1 and severely injuring 2 others. Ryan O'Reilly finally got dialed in against SuperKessel and shut him down with a 3 course 2nd breakfast. Nikita Zadorov played every single one of his shifts from the press box, eating chicken wings and throwing the bones at Boston fans. Game 4 Bruins 0 Sabres 1 Baptiste scored the lone goal of the night 7 seconds into the first period. A line brawl broke out, and then a bench brawl, and then a press-box brawl. GMTM lost his glasses after he headbutted Jeremy Jacobs. Jacobs is still in the ICU awaiting surgery to remove the thick black rimmed glasses from his forehead. The rest of the game took place with no players on the ice (as every active player was assessed a game misconduct for the brawl). Bruins fans continued to cheer their team on, but unfortunately their loyalty was not rewarded with a goal. Shanahan attempts to suspend every Sabres player, until he is kicked in the face by Kim Pegula. No suspensions are given to either team. Game 5 Sabres 15 Bruins 2 Back on home ice, Babdick employs his trademark coaching strategy: having all of his players scream "Miss!" at the Bruins each time they took a shot. The two Bruins goals were a result of Ullmark thinking that his teammates were yelling for him to miss the puck. Matt Ellis was an emergency call up for this game, and notched the game winning tally. He retires after the game and his number (.01) is raised to the rafters. The Buffalo PA guy blasts a dubstep remix of Sweet Caroline during the entire third period. Bruins coach Mike Milbury called it "a disgrace" in his post game interview, in which he was oddly not wearing shoes. Tyler Seguin said that he was proud of his two goals, and can't wait to get back into the playoffs. ECF: 1st place Maple Leafs vs 2nd place Buffalo Sabres,

I'M JUST ATTRACTED TO HIM, GLOB.

The more important step is to get them acclimated to the speed and brutality of NHL hockey. Once they have that down, then they can start worrying about going against the league's best. I'm not sure Tyler Ennis learned much from being destroyed by Eric Staal at center ice, but who knows maybe that was a valuable learning experience for him.

The fact that you still hold his draft position against him is pretty absurd. We turned an 8th overall into two players, a QB prospect and a linebacker who is better than the player picked 3rd overall in the same draft.

Fake Gorby is Ted Black. Marketing strikes again!

When I watch the show, the only characters I really care about are Bronn and Shireen. And King Tommen (what a sweetie). No more beets! By the end of season 4, some characters' book arcs were already finished. Since books 4 and 5 take place at the same time, the show is doing them together. Books 4 and 5 are also mostly slowly paced setup and new locations. The show is probably cutting more than half of the content from books 4 and 5, so I expect by the end of this season, every single storyline will be beyond the books.

A philly fan friend of mine said that he inexplicably scored a bunch at the end of their seasons, too.

I don't get why some people root against a player our team drafted because they want to be right about him sucking. Not saying that happens here (except for Liger), but whenever I read comments on Bills stuff on the internet it's full of EJ "haters."

I don't think Eichel needs sheltering. It's all the other youngins.

Neither did Luke Adam or Marcus Foligno at first.

Babdick on the future of the Red Wings: Boooooom. He wants himself some Reinhart, Girgensons, Ristolainen, Bogosian, and Eichel. I'm not sure I want him if he doesn't know the word "well," though.

Drew's needed a change of scenery forever. And he really did seem to be trying hard for us earlier this year. He's still Drew Stafford, though.

I disagree with this. Young guys develop better when they're playing in sheltered roles. I want to put Grigo, Larsson, and Reinhart in a position to succeed, not throw them out there to get slaughtered by the other team's top lines/pairings. I also think it'd be better long term if Eichel plays in the NHL next year and starts developing his game with the big boys. He's dominated college hockey, no reason to go back.

THAT's what this thread is about? Oh :blink:

This was your dream: Expand it if you'd like :P

Yes he did. Good ol' Drew.

This is my dream, not yours. And Miller was the Canes goalie.

You will after he wins the Selke 2 years in a row.

Sabres finish 2nd in East with 110 points - 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 1 opponent: Carolina Hurricants Game 1 Sabres 6 Canes 0 Andrej Sekera scores all 6 goals for the Sabres, Eichel assists 4 of them. Deslauriers records 34 hits in the first period. My siblings and I all do a drunken dance around her Canes fan boyfriend. JJ blasts the Canes goalie for sucking way worse than Tim Thomas did in the playoffs at age 38. Game 2 Sabres 7 Canes 0 Evander Kane notches a hatty and gets a major penalty for celebratorily riding his stick into their GT, injuring him. No suspension is given. PA writes a short story about a handsome young super hero vanquishing a cockeye-browed boogyman. Game 3 Canes 3 Sabres 2 The Sabres were visibly drunk (progressively so following each intermission), especially Ullmark who played more than half of the game facing the wrong way. Tyler Ennis knocked out Jeff Skinner and then accidentally started fighting Reinhart. Reinhart injures his hand punching Ennis's cup. Reinhart will not be fine for the rest of the series. Liger is in tears. Game 4 Canes 1 Sabres 6 Babdick runs a bag skate instead of pre-game warm ups. Ryan O'Reilly puked his guts out 5 minutes before the opening faceoff but was still out there to shut down Eric Staal. A tired Sabres squad leaned on Nikita Zadorov for 4 goals, intimidating the Canes forwards away from the defensive zone all night (even from the bench), and 3 broken glass panes from bone shattering checks. d4rk's new avatar is a custom gif of all 3 hits superimposed with the Nikita-truck. Game 5 Sabres 11 Canes 7 The Sabres decide to play only 4 skaters and no goaltender. Captain Zemgus Girgensons returns from the injury he sustained during the regular season (he fought every single member of the Boston Bruins 4th line after scoring the 3rd goal of a natural hat trick- his hand bones got screwed up from knocking out teeth) and marks his post season debut with 5 goals and 16 takeaways in his opening shift. Ullmark notches a goal and 2 assists skating at the rover position. In a drunken stupor of delight, Aud bumps into Kim Pegula on his way out of the game. She's sniffling a little bit, and in a moment of excitement for the series win and weakness from the long months of putting on the brave show reveals that her and Terry's marriage might be on the rocks. It's a strange sensation, but she feels like she can confide in this kindly stranger. Me and my siblings throw rocks at my sister's boyfriend's car. 2nd round opponent, Boston Bruins...

I hope Aaron Williams talks to him on twitter.
