I never buy jerseys with names on them. Some of the players are younger than my son. I wear the jerseys when I play. I have Sabres home, away, 40th anniversary, slug, goat head, old Syracuse Crunch, Florida Everblades, Toledo Walleyes, Orlando Solar Bears, and this year got a vintage Oakland Seals. I did get a number 5 (my old youth number started at Howie Meeker hockey school, and the number my son used in high school) on it because they offered free customization, but not my or any player's name.

Good chances late, just too many penalties. Pens had an older team with a lot of speed.

3-3 start of 3rd.

Pominville was drafted in 2001.

Guhle continues to impress. CJ Smith has some offensive skills that will allow him to compete for a roster spot on Sabres.

Is the cameraman drunk? Just do a close up.

I used Chromecast yesterday and today and it's working fine.

Audio is better tonight. Yesterday it was hard to hear. Nylander out for rest of tourney with lower body injury.

OT, shootout, or tie?

I wish he would take over when Rick retires. Reminds me of Pete Webber.

I wonder if some of these are for Cincy ECHL.

The Sabres have signed goaltender Adam Wilcox to a one-year, two-way contract. Pretty good when he was in Syracuse. With Ullmark in Roch, perhaps Johansson will be playing in Cincinnati.

Mostly played for the Marlies last season, led the team in points per game average. The Sabres have signed forwards Kevin Porter and Kyle Criscuolo (Grand Rapids) each to two-year, two-way contracts. Derek Grant signs with Anaheim. $650,000. One way.

RHD, played 45 games with Carolina last season,100 NHL games. Depth player for Rochester, whose D is looking good with Guhle, Nelson, Fedun, Falk, and Tennyson.

GMJB appears to value fast players, as the word from the analysts is that all the forwards they selected have "blazing speed".

Jason Kasdorf is from Winnipeg.

Wouldn't be surprised if they pick a goalie in round 2.

Ever hear of Brendon Guhle? Zadorov has been so-so, McNabb wasn't good enough to protect in draft, Myers hasn't been good since trade, and Ehrhoff out of league.

Boston was considering him, at least they didn't get him.

They do have the best looking sisters and girlfriends.

He could play for USA in World Juniors in Buffalo this year.

High school hockey players don't do much weight training. That will change in college. As long as he can pull up his stick.

Whoever they pick isn't going to play on Sabres this year.

Sabres pick Timothy Liljegren or Casey Mittlestadt, or trade down.

Signability: If a player is not drafted by age of 20, that player becomes an unrestricted free agent. A player not signed by drafted team within two years can reenter draft, assuming they are still eligible, and if they are not eligible, will become unrestricted an free agent. A team has the rights of an NCAA player until 30 days after the player leaves the college. If a player is drafted a second time, they can not reenter the draft. If a player has entered the draft twice and not been selected, they then become free agents regardless of age. A non-North American player can not be signed unless they are drafted first.
