Thank you July for that classic Belgian summer of 20 degrees and nothing but rain and wind. All of Europe 30-40 degrees and we get this 😄
-
I think Columbus might have a top 10 D next year
Werenski - Severson
Provorov - Boqvist
blankenburg / Bean - Gudbranson

Why screw with one of the best logos in sports ?

Losing Norris for 74 games was a big blow for them last season. They didn’t have their 1C coming off a 35 goal season for basically the whole season.
Also, Chychrun. They added him but he only played 12 games for them. Hard to imagine he will play close to a full season, but I’d imagine they will have him for 50 games this season.
So they are also adding a top 6 C and a top-4 D to their lineup, and they should get continued development improvements from some young guys. They should be improved over last season..
Yeah but we are not getting worse either, I think Clifton is an uderrated signing. Greenway might surprise us next year.
Goalie with Levi is a question mark for the entire league, but I believe in him. Personally I think Comrie might make a good back up this year.

He's only 5'10"
Ottawa and Detroit made more FA moves than we did. They made a few I would have made for us, but of course maybe those players were offered contracts but said no thank you. We will never know as Adams saying that publicly would look bad for the team going forward. If he chose to not make those moves when he could have and either of those teams makes the playoffs and we do not, then it's on him for sure.
I personally do not think he did enough. At the moment, I think Ottawa is more likely to make the playoffs than we are, but of course neither team is deep so any rash of injuries will sideline either. Same for Detroit. Who knows, maybe he fully recovers and we add Patrick Kane in the fall/winter. Maybe not.
(In all seriousness though Cliffy is an upgrade over everybody we had last year after the top 3. He should make a good partner for Power)
This is like 2022 summer all over again and where did they end up ? Only thing I liked from both summers was adding debrincat.
-
I don't know everyone expects Boston to end up number 1 again next season in the Atlantic. But their number 1C is Charlie Coyle or Morgan Geekie.
Replacements they got for hall/Bertuzzi are Lucic/Van Riemsdyk and are very slow. Their Defence looks solid with adding Lindholm, but I feel like they will have to rely on their Goaltending and Defence a lot next year to win games.

Hall of fame career.

That's not true. I was just over at the Bruins site and there's pages and pages of "Merci Patrice" and you know typing out a French word is really difficult for chowder heads. There's a sadness there but mostly a lot of thank yous. Didn't read a single "mad at him for not deciding earlier" post.
I know a lot of you hate the Bruins, but Patrice was a class act and an incredible team captain. Sabres could have used a captain like him. Class to the end.
https://www.nhl.com/bruins/news/a-statement-from-patrice-bergeron/c-345429764
I think it really does end an era for the Bruins though. Their prospect pool is garbage aside from Lohrei (left D) and their fall will be fast and hard. 7-9 free agents after this year, Marchand old and broken down, it's likely the end.
So with that alternate team slipping away I REALLY NEED the Sabres to finally get it right. One more reason here the time is right. KA needs to make the final moves and seize the moment!!!!
Its true though, on a lot of forums bruins fans were getting mad at him for taking so long to decide while their center depth is iffy at best.
-
Played for the bruins, but Bergeron was a nice player and had class unlike most of that team.
Can't believe the fans got mad at him for not deciding earlier if he would play or not, didn't get much respect from some of that fanbase.

I believe matthews is a little too late to save the coyotes lol.
Yeah Im not saying he is going to the coyotes, but might prefer any USA market over Toronto.

They are more than $12M over the cap.
Muzzin is on LTIR for $5M+.
They need to move Murray and then some.And they want Karlsson.
Go to cap hell Leafs!
Just imagine they would have to package Nylander + 2 capdumps, probably mutliple first rounders to San jose.
Then possibly see Matthews leave next offseason.

I browse around there, rarely post, my user there is Orvald 🙂

whatever trade package for McDavid will involve Dahlin and Tage and you can watch us become edmonton east, good forwards but no D and goalie.

Not this season with Jost, zemgus and okposo still here.

Fair enough.
But do Belgians do weird things to their pizza like the French do? By weird things mean stuff like putting a sunny side up egg on top of a pizza. If the answer is 'yes,' will likely take the recommendation for vending machine pizza with a grain of salt. 😉
🍻
Nah we don't put eggs on our pizza , never even heard of the French doing it. I do like pineapple on pizza though 🙂

Not sure why, but your post reminded of this gem.
Loved that show, but seriously, that pizza vending machine gets filled everyday - Doubt any pizza lasts longer than 2 days in there, its popular around here, especially when working nights and nothing is open 🙂

I... didn't. I just looked to see if their was a soft correlation between size and goodness and there really isn't. Being athletic and able to track plays are the biggest factors.
You universally claiming a big goalie has an advantage is not true. Biron has talked about the bigger holes that get created by being big. Idk why you dislike Levi. Not sure why you have any faith in UPL but size only matters for goalies at extremes.
Upl looks adequate? The guys a sieve and inconsistent as hell.
I would keep Comrie over him even. UPL might be a big guy but plays like a small goalie. Just should top net and you got a good chance on scoring on him.

Next time I will take a pic of that pizza from the vending machine, I would have expected it to be bad, but its better than most still. Gets prepared before in the pizza place and comes out heated or cold.

Pommer and Samson.
Pommer because the tank really started and I hated to see all those guys get traded.
Samson, I always liked his playing style, and if you want a good net front presence he is underrated.

If you can get over to Fort Worth, check out Buffalo Bros. There is a location in downtown Fort Worth and one near TCU. The guy who runs them is from Kenmore. If you're in town Monday that would be a good day because Buffalo Bros. has half off all their pizzas including whole pies and slices (excludes only pizza-wing combos). If you do decide to go Monday for dinner let me know; maybe I can meet up with you.
The Duff's in Southlake is... okay, but it's set in a strip mall and just doesn't have a Buffalo vibe. The wings are okay though.
PIzza from Buffalo Bros.
Never been a fan of the thick crust style. But not a lot of good pizza places around here either.
Pizza hut / Boston pizza / Kebab and pizza places / We got one and those they sell from a vending machine nearby beats all of those.

I am tired of hearing that Steve Y did it again, building a contender..like Tamp Bay.
He made similar moves last year and looked where they ended up. I believe KA will get there before SY.
He changed a 20 goal score for a 30 goal scorer that is worse in defense.

This is spot on.
I lived in the Czech Republic for two years from 1990-92 just after the collapse of the Eastern bloc (also traveled to Ukraine while there - while it was still under the Soviet Union. The ppl we met hated Russian oppression). Russia was horribly oppressive. Ruined the Czech country. It was like traveling back 60 years when I arrived and many people were psychologically ruined. One of my best friends there had parents born in the 1930s and he noted that 60 years of their life was ruined. It’s easy, living so far removed from such oppressive regimes, to think Hasek too extreme. But when you see remnants of it up front one becomes far more empathetic. Just look at how most of the eastern euros (Poland; Latvia; etc) see it. They know.
While I am okay with some of these athletes participating, I also get why Hasek is so outspoken. He knows the evil.
At the same time, most of the Russian athletes have family living under a threat if they speak out so I understand why they would not. It’s just a terrible situation for all brought on through no fault of their own; but by a deranged tyrant.
Just this, People in Western-Europe and USA/Canada don't get how deep the anti-Russian sentiment is over there.
Poland/baltic states / Romania ( though not owned by Russia was still a puppet state )/ Moldavia/Czech republic/ Slowakia / Finland. And maybe surprising but Belarus too, A lot of people there hate Russia, they have a lot fighting for Ukraine and sabotaged the Russian Advancement first week of the war.
The people in those countries are itching to go and fight in Ukraine and help out, and many already do. I can see NATO/EU even splitting between an Eastern and Western block if this keeps going.
The only eastern countries with some sympathy towards Russia are Turkey, Serbia and Bulgaria ( mostly the politicians besides the president who has delivered a lot of bullets to Urkaine).

Yes.
No extension.
'24 1st, UPL or Comrie and one of Rosen, Östlund or Savoie.
High enough price imo for a one year rental but I'd pay it.
Contract motivated goalie meets hungry Sabres team and makes history (Stanley Cup Victory) before riding off to a another team on a huge contract and becoming an average goaltender for the rest of his career.
Östlund and Savoi are off limits without an extention, and its Rosen and a goalie and not adding our 1st.
Also the extension will be too rich for a goalie, how can you tell Tage and DC, that you signed them to only 7 mill a year, but your goalie makes 9mil ?

Best part of this is, by the time his contract ends, Toronto might be in such a suck mode they will have room for him but will he want to go there?
