I love game days , they start at 19.00 - 21.00 pm for me :D

What bothered me more about these games is all the dumping and chasing that is going on. Rarely see someone try to carry the puck into the offensive zone. Eichel , larsson and ritolainen are the only ones I've seen trying to do that.

Geographically their countries have parts in Europe , so I don't mind having them playing with us. Allthough Turkey is just a real small part. Also the main population of Russia is located in the european part. As for turkey I wouldn't mind them joining the eu, but their current prime minister "erdogan" is running the show like a corrupt dictator. Europe should have let the Turkish army take over back when he first got the job, Europe told the Turkish army it was not democratic. After that Erdogan replaced the leadership with his puppets and is turning Turkey away from a secular state.

Thing is calgary is carrying 3 goalies at the moment, at some point they have to waive one of them.

Cyprus has always been a part of europe, Israel well I'd rather see them go to the asian conference but politics and holocaust guilt trip I guess. Nice to see BiH taking 3rd place though, much better team than Israel.

yeah, but not at more than 4th rounder, we are not competing. I'm willing to give Linus a shot, but we need to ease him in. A two week conditioning in Rochester wouldn't be to bad. Thank you

Thank you, and we have a really tough schedule coming up. Please don't, I have been bored at work and done that enough. Pegula has raised expectations alot. The main raison I love buffalo is the underdog status. But to many in buffalo have gone to believe money = succes. This hockey franchise needs time to rebuild, Murray made some gambles in the off season , and he'll make some more, some will pan out, others will not. But do believe me we are right where we want to be, and in around 15 games this team will show its true colours. I would have loved this team to go to the playoffs, but lets relax and wait a year and grow with this team together.

Only vs Andorra , going to go see it now. Not often im able to catch a sabres game at normal time for me :P

He has juggled the lines alot, Deslauriers playing with eichel and kane, Girgensons taking moulsons spot, than reinhart with eichel and kane again, Foligno with eichel and kane. And I only saw the 3rd period.

A couple of nasty deflections, not much he could do about those. I'm not that doom and gloom, I saw some improvement from last game. This will take time.

Yup give something for the fans to cheer about.

Didn't expect them to win much first 10 games, certainly seeing the opponents we are facing. But was hoping for some more clear offense and more confidence in the offensive zone, just not seeing that at the moment.

ffs

it didn't now it was an afternoon game , oh well im here for the 3rd period lol :D

Firefox and Chrome have been really bad with Windows 10.

Hope Moulson finds some chemistry with O'Reilly and Ennis soon because he looked lost last game.

I saw that happen to alot of vets to, Moulson, Ennis, O'Reilly, they were all getting outworked.

If he is out a month I'd go with Makarov or Lieuwen. If he is missing half the season pick up whatever of the 3 goalies Calgary sends through waivers.

I'm a bit more on the makarov train here :p

The cast looks bad, but that is always done to play safe. But do think he'll be out a couple of games atleast. I never hated it, I thought it was a trade we can only judge in a year or so but if legwand turns out to be the best part of this deal everyone will hate it :P

If Calgary askes more than a 4th rounder for hiller, I'd just play Makarov and wait for them to waive one of their goalies.

Yeah but seemed to me Weber and Franson looked alot worse.

That would be nice but they gave up Lack already, I think they want two goalies that can play in the NHL. Hiller would be nice but wouldn't do more than a 4th rounder seeing his UFA status. They are carrying 3 goalies up to this point, might even be able to pick him off waivers.

Yeah you lose your TO. That is why every team now has someone in the press box looking for correct challenges. This will slow the game down so much :sick: Huge turnover on the second Ottawa goal though. Didn't think Colaiacovo looked bad but was wondering what McCabe couldn't do in his place. Franson looked like a pilon, and weber got away with the mistakes he made (like fanning on a puck right after the eichel goal leading to a huge Ottawa chance). Gorges is Gorges and on stacked Defense he is your #6 Kane and Eichel got better when Girgensons moved into Reinharts spot. Hope Reinhart needs a bit more sheltered minutes on the 3rd line I guess. Moulson seemed a bit lost in the offensive zone, but his whole line didn't click there.

They need more chemistry, but that was to be expected.
