  1. I was thinking Schneider since I saw some chatter that he could get a look right away but it would be nice to see Carrier get a few games too. I probably wouldn't go the Leafs "call up everybody" route but now would probably be a good time to see what a few of the prospects might bring at the NHL level instead of Ryan O'Reilly's mediocre career minor league brother.

    See... I don't know enough about Schneider to say one way or the other. From what I hear, Carrier is McGinn-like in net-front presence and being in the right place and board work offensively.

     

    Nothing appears related to someone getting back through waivers. So, I guess they figured they would be more competitive with more experienced call-ups and Reinhart on the wing?

  2. Fun game and atmosphere in the Tank last night. Lots of us Sabres folk representing. The Larsson line was strong again. McCabe played well and had one really slick,calm, stickhandles out of harm's way. Whenever a carom or rebound was left in the slot we were the first ones there.

    And Kane had one fantastic effort where he forced a turnover, corralled the puck at the line and continued to battle -- but I don't remember if he ever got a shot away on that sequence

     

    Really solid road game.

  3. I'm now curious if Larsson gets 2014 repeat with increased playing time (as he did after the Zemgus foot). That could really drive up his trade value and tell us what Murray really thinks of his future as on of the inherited guys and not one of his own acquisitions. I personally like Larsson as a 3/4 center. But maybe giving him top minutes including PK and PP time gets Murray another high pick or someone he covets.

  4. Saw it last night. It's a good, fun, Star Wars flick. Upbeat and decent dialogue (barring a few "earth-slang" misses that could have been replaced with Star Wars nerf-like slang). The characters have motivations and conflicts. The prequel demons have been exorcised. That's the important thing.


     


    Sure, I've got a bunch of things I'm a disappointed in, but most of them are ancillary to the plot and end product, which was solid. I'm itching to do a spoiler-tagged list, but nope. It's in the spirit of the force and the Holiday Special to let go.
