  1. I’ll drink to that. He cannot even get it to the red line and dump it in. He tries to stickhandle and gives it up. Bjork is where a rush goes to die while Eakin can’t start a rush.
  2. Habs just beat the Leafs, St Louis is trying to right the ship. Don’t take them lightly and attack. Let’s go Buffalo!
  3. Panthers broadcasters just said Rheino has 38 points in his last 29 games. Yeah, Huberdeau is totally under the radar.
  4. I have a hard time taking you seriously when I see your avatar. I don’t use many gifs but I laugh at most of them.
  5. It seems like a reward for good play on the farm and an incentive for the rest. If his game translates to the NHL maybe he makes Hinestroza more expendable for a deadline move.
  6. I am a dinosaur and go to the games to watch hockey. I do not miss any of the action and don’t want to be distracted. I get that the modern fan wants to be constantly entertained and have 75 dining options. My son plays and loves hockey but he can’t sit and watch a game for 3 hours. He and his friends want to be seen at the games, spend most of their time on their phones letting everyone know they are at the game. I’m being nostalgic here but the excitement used to be when 16000 people would ooh and aah at spectacular plays that would make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Sometimes the biggest cheer now is who can come up with the goofiest dance on the jumbotron. Get off my lawn. LOL.
  7. This was fun. Jiricek at 5 was a reach but he may end up better than Nemec. Isaac Howard at 29, BPA for me. Filip Bystedt at 30, don’t know much about him. C Owen Beck at 37. C Danny Zhilkin at 69. C I believe in drafting centres and converting them to wingers if necessary.
  8. His seeing eye dog was lost in transit between Phoenix and Toronto and Carter can’t find his way around.
  9. Dubas keeps stealing pieces from that great franchise. He’s hoping they don’t have a franchise soon so Matthews doesn’t Tavares him.
  10. I think David Perron is on his third stint in St Louis. Not sure if he was traded twice or he left as a FA.
  11. Good for them, small country but they have been winning a lot of hockey games.
  12. Just saying’ that I didn’t like Vegas to begin with and will not cheer for them to succeed. I’m not a Jack hater, he just never fueled my Sabres fire. When his contract is up and he signs with Boston his fans will get to see him more often.
  13. Sabres were a bottom feeder already. Just noting that he hasn’t brought the magic.
  14. He has good size as well but the knock on him last year was his skating. That can be worked on. He has a shot at getting a look for the AHL and take it from there. His numbers are slightly better than last year. He also plays with some of the best players in the Q, Bourque and Bourgault. They both made Team Canada so I would say he benefits from playing with them. He may be a good complimentary player. You are right that he should be getting more attention. The Q is not as highly regarded by most hockey people, unfortunately.
  15. I doubt anyone has his rights. He is 28. He played in North America one year, in the AHL. He had a good showing for starting out as their third string guy.
  16. August will be the 2022 Championship while December will be the 2023 Championship. Most teams turn over about 80% of their teams year to year as it is a 19 year old tournament. I don’t mind this as it gives kids a once in a lifetime experience. This is the highlight of a few hockey careers.
  17. 2 losses for Vegas since Jack has dressed.
  18. Stay healthy for the rest of the season Mitts. This would provide all with a look at what he can bring next season. He can be a scoring threat that other teams will have to account for, instead of let those JAGs handle it all they want. He is probably liking Okposo on his wing as they have a Minnesota background.
  19. I watched my son’s team play a similar game to what the Sabres did. It was a winnable game, they had no jump and could barely make a play. There was an OHL GM at the game, some junior scouts and the kids put up a stinker.
  20. I am pulling for any team that plays Vegas, because of the draft pick. Jack is nowhere near the top of my favourite Sabres so I don’t care much except I want Tuch, Krebs to outscore him every year. One thing that bugs me is by the time the Sabres are a contender the NHL will probably have clamped down on the LTIR rules. They will need a few million in cap space to trade for UFA Reinhart at the deadline.
  21. Dylan is not a heavyweight but he would have jumped on Lucic when Miller got mugged. We need some jam.
  22. 1-0 is a huge lead when Eric Staal is your go to guy.
