I don't mind O'Reilly but it's the contract that's gonna kill me. Next year 8 million. What happens when Jack is off his entry level and Kane's contract is done. They will both demand equal amount of money. Their lies the problem.
It's a good problem, no?

This was in my inbox. I think I'm disturbed. Can't figure out why it was sent to me. I'm kinda creeped out.

I still think Yoda is a stoner.

He provides more jam than any other D we have. Until someone proves to me otherwise, physical intimidation is still a part of the game. Pussified players still shy away from contact. Players going into corners or the front of the net with Weber our there know they will be in for a rough ride. Not all players show a willingness to do it. Now can they just avoid him all game and still end up getting scoring chances because of his skatinf, puck handling and decision making? :unsure:
He's okay. Sticks it out. Willing to work. Gives his all. Not very mobile. Not a great passer. He gets the most out of what talent he has. I respect him.
I'd love to see someone replace him. But I think you have a point. He's the floor that players need to be above.

...I guess I'm a bit late with that.
Yes....but when the Shaolin Temple gets involved, manners get restored. I've seen it on TV.

I'm pretty sure the statheads will say that five games is much too small a sample size to say what we are. I think what you're suggesting is that if we keep up these stats, the wins have to come.
Well, if the penalty kill continues to operate under 70%, I'd suggest the wins won't add up.

He traded Ben Bishop, didn't he?
Bryan Murray? IIRC...it was a matter of move him or lose him at the deadline. Bishop was a free agent. Cory Conacher went to Ottawa.
-
True, but I don't think he will get there.
I think he just needs to get healthy. He'll get there.
-
I doubt his consistency.
Okay. I don't think many 24 year old goalies are consistent. I think it'll take a little time.
-
I don't think your wrong. I think Lehner is always going to be a sub-par goalie.
Why do you think so?
(I am still optimistic in Lehner for the long term, he's quite a combination of big and mobile, with a Billy Smith/Ron Hextall capacity for nastiness).

I lost a favorite one this way. It kills me, I had a choice, surrender the knife, or keep the knife and miss the flight.

The ability to start the play out of the zone is all on the defense. However, the forwards have a huge say in that. If you recall last year the opposing teams had no fear of the forwards and so they would play a heavy forecheck. The forwards were slow with the puck so even if the forecheck was beaten by the D the forward was collapsed on before he could leave the zone.
Look at this year. They have the forwards higher in the zone. The speed of the breakout is much faster and as such the opposition D is leaving the blue line earlier to not get caught. All of this opens up the ice and allows the Sabres D man a bit more space to make the plays needed.
Once that happens you need the D man who hits that pass or skates it out himself. But without the open ice the best D man is going nowhere.
good stuff.

Even prices at Air Canada Centre have cratered. $52 CDN to see Coyotes?
that's a pretty good deal in Canadian Peso.

On another forum where I post, sarcastic posts were too often read in earnest, so people started using Courier as the sarcasm font:
Oh really? You don't say!
This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amusing.

Ok. wasn't there something like an 8 goal loss to Ottawa in there somewhere too?
I still think Ottawa in fall 2005 was one of the most dominant teams i've ever seen.

@NYP_Brooksie: Not aware that decision has been made in Columbus, but told that Jackets are looking at Tortorella and Boucher if Todd Richards is dismissed
You have to imagine that hot seat is really hot at the moment. The Blue Jackets had lots of expectations.
-
No, the fans will be looking for progress. The progress so far:
. The team is watchable
. First goals by Eichel, McCabe, Samson
. First win under DD
. Playing TB so much better this last time
I'll add: the Sabres are not giving up many shots. Whatever the math is, I'd guess about 4 fewer shots per period than last year.

Those two know each other well. Great teamwork between the two.
