yay good goal

IMO JBot inherited a mess. The farm was barren, Kane, RR, Lehner by all accounts were not very good locker room guys so something had to give. Not sold on Housley yet but they do appear to at least be playing closer to a full game than they used to. I think they are getting it and will turn the corner soon (hopefully). If not Housley will be gone and Taylor will be coach, bank it.

IMO Housley doesn't make it to Jan 1

Time to cut bait with Bailey and Baptiste, they've had more than enough chances to stick and can't. Enough already.

I think they could add in some windows in the concourses. Even though i'm up above ground it feels like a dungeon walking the concourses. Looking out at the lake or over the city wouldn't be a bad thing between periods. Rochester has some glass to look out over the river/city and it's cool.

IMO, Bailey and Baptiste both stink. If neither of them weren't blazing fast they wouldn't even be getting looks.

To a certain degree I think ROR pouted that he wasn't named captain. Are the rumors true that him and Jack did not get along? If so was it because a young kid was challenging his leadership? Did it affect his game? IDK, did he have more to give? IDK. I too think he didn't get his way and maneuvered himself to be traded. I'm not saying he was a problem but if he is that good a player and a leader in the room he wouldn't have been traded.

This^^ I think when the first rebuild was done incorrectly what choice was left.

BQSTQN and ILANDERS :lol:

May Hasek Afinogenov Peca Eichel/Risto

I watched Bruce Almighty and God was here. :lol:

:w00t: forgot about him Rasmus...Rasmus...Rasmus.... :w00t:

Yay, we're going to have 2 Rasmusses. Rasmus...Rasmus...

We need another Rasmus, please!

IMO, Guhle, Risto and Scandella are going to be here. The other 4 spots, who knows.

Didn't much care for lost passion comment from ROR. Seems as though he pouted all season by not being named captain. Lost his passion for the game but is going to play for Canada? Being honest is good in my eye but to say that then he is going to play for Team Canada coming up, I just lost a bunch of respect for him by that move.

Hmmm... Karlsson - Scandella Risto - Dahlin Guhle - McCabe Not a bad blueline if we win the lottery and somehow entice Karlsson that hockey heaven really does exist. It really doesn't seem too far fetched at all that this could happen.

JBots should figure out a way to have Karlsson, Risto and Scandella on the Sabres blueline next year along with Tavares up front. :thumbsup:

Gut feeling, I don't think Housley returns next year.

1 goal and 5 assists in his first 7 SJ games. What's wrong with that? He was doing fine before the 4 goal outburst last night.

He got 4 tonight, in one game. That's equal to or more than Larsson in 68 games Nolan in 59 games Josefson in 39 games Baptiste in 21 games Griffith in 21 games Zemgus has 7 goals in 64 games Bailey, Criscoulo<sp>, Fashing, O Regan, Moulson have 3 goals between them in 39 total games. Man does JBots have some work to do.

IMO, JBots won't trade Risto or McCabe either.

So Eichel, Mittelstadt, Reinhart are the top 3 centers next year? Hmm.... I could deal with that.

yup give him the keys

JBots said SJ had the only legitimate offer.
