  1. Crazy game between NYI and Van right now. NYI has 6 goals in the 3rd...
  2. People have drawn comparisons of Crosby to Butt-Head and Andy Samberg.
  3. The Caps don't owe the Sabres anything. Once they got rid of him, it's not their fault nor their problem that he didn't want to play for the last place Sabres, nor their farm club. If they traded him knowing he was injured, different story. And this.
  4. MacKinnon did not get as much hype as McDavid.
  5. While I agree that McDavid looks special, there are never any guarantees. Remember what prompted the draft lottery to begin with? Another "can't-miss" player - Alexandre Daigle: Leading up to the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, Daigle was considered a "can't miss" prospect and NHL superstar-in-waiting. The Senators were even accused of deliberately losing games late in the 1992–93 season, their first in the NHL, in order to guarantee the first overall selection and the right to draft him. This prompted an investigation by the NHL, who soon implemented a draft lottery to prevent such things from happening again. The Senators subsequently finished dead last in the 1992–93 league standings, thus securing the rights to the first overall pick. As the draft approached, the Quebec Nordiques, who were hosting the event, were reportedly so eager to draft the next French-Canadian superstar that they were rumored to have offered star players such as Owen Nolan, Peter Forsberg, Ron Hextall, and draft picks, but Ottawa management disregarded all offers. Daigle was selected first overall by the Senators, ahead of future superstars Chris Pronger and Paul Kariya, who were picked second and fourth, respectively.
  6. He created a few chances on his own. He also did some work along the boards in the offensive zone.
  7. That's not how it works, and you know it.
  8. Nope. Sabres should've done their HW
  9. You are kidding, right? He was one of their best skaters tonight.
  10. They have ones for every team with RJ's voice... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0062W1S9W?vs=1
  11. He's also on a team giving up the second fewest shots in the league.
  12. Pretty curious to see if McCabe decides to go pros next year...
  13. Odds are pretty damn good that we get two of the top 5 picks either this year or next. I have no opinion of TM yet, need to see more work.
  14. This is devastating news. Poor tank.
  15. Didn't Jordan Nolan send this guy off in a stretcher not too long ago?
  16. I would say that around 13 of the 50 number 1 draft picks were actual franchise players. So, approximately a 25% chance that if the Sabres choose first, their selection is a franchise-changer.
  17. I'm really disappointed that this is the first time I've ever heard of Paula's Donuts. Now I need to find an excuse to drive to Buffalo...
  18. There's always an Alexandre Daigle, Bryan Berard, or Patrik Stefan waiting to be taken 1st.
  19. Aren't Ott and Moulson a little too young to resign?
