You have to give him another 2 years for the recent draft picks and prospects (Guhle, Borgan, Nylander, Asplund, Pu, Fasching, Peterson, Bailey, Baptiste) to join the core (Eichel, ROR, Reinhart, Reiso, McCabe, Orkposo) and some of the contracted bridge veterans to leave/retire (Moulson, Gorges, Gionta, Franson). And unlike Whaley, GMTM will give honest answers. Girgensons is a better all around player than Larsson and improves the 3rd line. Paul Hamilton is a good play-by-play announcer as shown when he did exhibition games and would be a better replacement for Rick than Dan Dunlevey. The Wild have the most creative logo.

Girgensons with a strong game. When he's at center he's a more effective all around player than Larsson. Glad he's finally getting the chance again.

FYI this game is on NBCSN.

Larrson isn't as versatile as Grigs, who in previous years played both PP and PK. He's a better center than winger, where DB has stuck him.

Tough for him, and he's a free agent after the season. But hopefully this will force DB to play Girgensons more, who is a better all around player.

I'm in Boston visiting my son. We were hoping to go to the game, but I can't justify paying $200 for a ticket. Been checking all the ticket sites for a couple weeks.

Give everyone another $2000 for the new year to add to whatever they have left?

Annnnd I'm out.

Do you have running water yet? If not can you melt snow?

Only 175 left. If I go out it will be rooting for the good guys. 1 unit on Buffalo.

At 415, 2 units on Detroit. No ROR, and Lehner in goal.

Why doesn't baby Jesus like us?

Rex and Rob Ryan have been fired. Nobody to take the heat off DB now.

They won't sit $5 million Moulson for a call up. Carrier doesn't impress me, he runs around alot but doesn't do much to set up plays.

If they got rid of Dan, they'd most likely just promote Terry Murray.

Down to 415. I'll be out by next week.

At 895, 4 units on Sabres. C'mon team, it's freakin' Carolina!

Animal House was great when it came out, it took movie comedy to a new level. Right up there with Slap Shot. I took my first movie date to it. I had to try to not laugh at the cruder scenes because I didn't know how she'd react. Blues Brothers was disappointing because I expected them to play the songs that were on their album Briefcase Full of Blues. I never understand when people say they left because of a political thread. If you don't like what's being said, don't open it and stick to the hockey threads. I left the PPP threads because it just became a den of personal insults whenever I gave my left of center views. And if the political thread was left unlocked, the commentary wouldn't end up in non-political threads.

Down to 895. I was over 2000 a week ago. How about pulling the goalie in OT for an extra attacker when they have the puck.

At 1195, 3 units on Buffalo.

Carolina has loaned Tim Kennedy to Rochester. buffalonews.com/2016/12/18/car… twitter.com/buffnewsvogl/s…

Sabres wanted to sign Tim Kennedy for Amerks, but had to clear waivers. Carolina put a claim in. Probably looking for a draft pick. Not sure if GMTM will do it.

Carp, so many close chances missed. Down to 1195. I got greedy.

At 1595, 4 units on Buffalo to try to get back over 2000.
