590 the Fan from Toronto, and Buffalo News blog.

So do I. Sandpaper and entertaining. I hope he doesn't go to another team in east.

McCormick could always go down to Roch and be a leader there like last year.

I like the idea I heard; offer some veterans 1 year contracts, with the understanding that the Sabres will try to trade them to playoff teams at the deadline so they can compete for Cup. Then they can come back the next year if they want. Rinse and repeat.

You underestimate their talent. Ullmark is the top rated goalie in Sweden, Leuwen had a great year in Roch, Makarov had a strong finish and playoff when called up to Roch, and Peterson had a good year in USHL. It only takes one to step forward in the next couple of years. Miller was a 5th round pick.

He's a free agent.

How about fans showing some class and not embarrassing their city. Bettman does what his bosses, the owners want. Boo Ed Snider, he's one of the influential owners. It's like if people booed a principal at a high school graduation. I hope if the draft is ever in Buffalo the fans show more class.

Don't waste a 2nd round pick on a goalie. They already have a bunch; Enroth, Neuvirth, Lieuwen, Hackett, Makarov, Ullmark, Peterson, and maybe Knapp.

Hope he gets in trouble in the big city and they stink next year.

Can't believe the tweets on the bottom of tv screen showed a nickname, Leon "The Final Solution" Draisaitl. Funny but inappropriate. Probably some young guy in charge who doesn't have a clue about what it means.

FYI round 1 of the draft Friday is on NBCSN at 7pm. Then on Sat. rounds 2-7 are on NHLNet at 10am.

Don't know what it's like to have grandparents, all mine were gone by the time I was 7. My family is on vacation in Orlando for the week, but I couldn't go because of work deadlines.

@barryap1: Dan Snyder trademarked "Washington Warriors" a year after this suit was filed, so it's not like this wasn't anticipated.

I take it that it doesn't prevent its use, just that they don't have exclusive rights to it. So now anyone can use it to create offensive products. I wonder if the NFL has rights to the colors and font used.

Of course the fact that almost 400 terrorists have been tried in civilian courts and either convicted or plead guilty shows that the policy started under Bush and continued under Obama works. Its what should be done with the Gitmo detainees to close it. But once again attempts at political gain by scaring the public gets more attention than the facts.

And they proved me to be correct. After 50 tries to reverse the ACA they moved on to the next topic to investigate ad hominem. But I'm specifically talking about today's news.

He'll never play golf again, because his weight displacement goes back, all his weight is on his right foot, and he'll push everything off to the right. He'll never come through on anything. He'll quit the game.

After reading this story this morning of just how rabid some conservatives are, I have no doubt they will spin it into a negative. http://m.washingtonpost.com/opinions/dana-milbank-heritages-ugly-benghazi-panel/2014/06/16/b8bd423c-f5a3-11e3-a606-946fd632f9f1_story.html

Can't wait to see how the Repubs spin this as a bad thing. Wag-the-dog? Distraction from their preconcieved conclusions.

I play ice hockey year round on weekends. A couple of years ago I got my legs taken out from behind twice in the same month, fell backwards, and hit my helmeted head. After the second time I was dizzy. The next day when I woke up the room was spinning and I was nauseous. It felt like when you spin around a lot with your eyes closed and try to walk. I couldn't walk straight. My wife and son had to help me to the car to go to the hospital. I had a concussion and Vertigo. I missed a week of work because of dizziness, and it took over a month before I felt normal again. And of course I resumed playing. I did buy a Cascade Messier helmet, which is supposed to be the best you can get.

If after giving Iraq $17 billion in support, arms, and training, their military is going to run and hide at the first sign of trouble, why should we sacrifice more Americans to fight their battles. We can't force people to get along. We were wrong to invade in the first place, and Obama promised to get us out and he did. The Iraqis had plenty of time to stand up for themselves. Now let Allah sort it out.

It is a lot of cash to payout to get rid of Leino. Maybe it would be better to keep him as the Tank Commander for another year. It's hard to find players that are guaranteed to not score.

I've been sick with allergies for almost 3 weeks. Stuffy nose and stuff running down throat. Tried different medicines without success. Had to sleep a couple nights in a chair because I kept coughing when I layed down. And at work they have to AC too high so it's always cold. And our guinea pig we've had for 6 years died of old age. Had to bury her in the backyard.

Should've moved the game to Winnipeg, they'd probably get a bigger crowd.

So the AHL final game 3 was played in St Johns last night. But they don't play next until Monday night. What else could be going on in St Johns that would prevent them from playing this weekend? This series will probably go longer than the NHL.
