Sir, my dream is perfectly capable of dying of natural causes. No need for you to shoot it.

Not having Jack sucks. Not having Babcock sucks. Still being better than the Leafs? Priceless.

My immune system is the greatest wall known to man. Believe me.

You...you voluntarily spent money to see the Devils? Were you drunk? :p Anticipation of cheap secondary market prices is precisely why I opted against a mini pack this year. I don't think he was ever crazy to assert this in theory. It's the idea that it's even the slightest bit realistic to organize and implement in the real world that made it crazy.

Common sense would dictate the return would've been one of their defensemen. Given the time frame we're looking at, bet if it had happened we wouldn't have added Kulikov.

I hope you follow up your pneumonia with the flu :devil:

Vesey's hot start makes me even more sad we didn't get him. Imagine how good our lineup would look with him added to a healthy Jack and Kane come December.

If the Cubs come back from 3-1 to win in the same year the Cavs did it...anything is possible and our championship is on the way in short order.

Hasn't Nylander been playing the left in Rochester? Could be Bylsma is just thinking more long term with either a 3rd scoring line or Kane's eventual departure. I expect this to continue for whoever long Bogo is out.

So if Bogo is out longish term, I have no idea what we're going to do. Despite my dislike for his game, we really are in a tough spot without him. I have a hard time seeing Nelson or Franson picking up his minutes, so one of Kulikov/Gorges/McCabe is going to have to play their off hand side. My initial thought was that Kulikov-Risto get put together to lug huge minutes, think 27+, then Gorges-McCabe pick up most of the rest, with scraps for Nelson-Franson. But honestly, that 3rd pair is a catastrophe. I think the better option is for Kulikov-Risto huge minutes, then balance out the rest with Gorges babysitting Nelson defensively, and McCabe using his skating to help cover for Franson. Not gonna be pretty either way.

That was the opposite of aesthetically pleasing...but I'll take it!

It looks like we're still killing a penalty right now. Totally out of sorts.

Yea, I'm not sure what O'Reilly was doing there.

Well

Same here. Very happy with the deal...though in light of Bogo's injury, I wish we could have added Kulikov and kept Pysyk :lol: That zone exit made me happy. I know it didn't turn into anything, but it was so pretty.

Sir, it's Bogo. Whether sports trainers in Buffalo are competent is irrelevant in this case ;)

One unit on Minnesota.

I need to see him sustain it. Not jumping on the bandwagon after 9 games, especially since his previous stints have been less than stellar. Also think you're underrating Nylander, kid looks like a superstar and has looked to be on that trajectory since last year. He's been their best forward IMO.

Even if I had watched any, you really think I'm going to be sold by a couple of viewings? Kane Benn Ovechkin Tarasenko Kucherov Gaudreau Voracek Forsberg Nylander Hall Panarin Perry Parise Wheeler Marchand *douses self in gasoline and lights a match* And that's without even trying! Top-30 probably, though.

Well, this'll be interesting to follow: http://electionlawblog.org/?p=88394

I was with you all the way. And then you just had to go and call Radulov a top-15 winger.

I think your parents may have gotten the birds and the bees talk backwards. Hopefully you corrected this for your legacies :p

On the one hand, I kinda dig that the NHL has no games and players can take their kids out for Halloween. On the other hand...I have a basically free evening, and wanna watch some hockey.

Bold prediction: the number of people worried about losing Bogosian in the expansion draft will decrease when his annual 20 game hiatus is upon us :p Honestly though, anyone have a guesstimate as to what Kulikov will command? He's making $4.3M right now, so I doubt he takes a pay cut. Upper 4s over 4-5 years? He won't have the offensive numbers of somebody like Goligoski, so mid-5s would seem high to me.
