French Collection

My uncle had a Plymouth Fury a bit older than that one. I slept on the back window during a few road trips.

One place I haven’t seen him slotted in is W onThompson’s line. He doesn’t deserve 1st line minutes yet but he may be a future set up man for TT.

Welcome to the 58 club, beat you by a month and a few days. Some days I feel like 68 while others seem like 48. Just do something, keep moving is my mantra.

They can alternate draws depending on who is hot, strong side/weak side, historical data vs opponents. Defensive zone responsibilities could be shared, first one back helps D.

Yes, players that had aged out were allowed to return.

Better than Bjork too. They know him and he must have been a positive influence in his first stint. Probably wanted to play there on his “last” contract.

Rosen with a nice goal, short side writer over the goalie’s shoulder.

Kulich with Czechia and Rosen, Sjodin with Sweden are the only Sabres prospects I am aware of.

I would rather give Comrie a shot than try to revive Murray. Murray has had three lousy seasons and is paid too much, even though the Sabres have cap room. There is upside with Comrie that is starting to show, I want to see him take the net and provide some solid goaltending.

USA has outshot Germany 25-4 in the first. Very dominant, moving the puck well. German goalie is playing well.

Kulich credited with an assist on Czechia’s 2nd goal. He may have scored, as he and Gut were jamming away at the puck in the crease.

She is only interim chair, until November. It may be difficult to implement much change in that timeframe. Hopefully she has some great leadership skills and gets the gig full time.

Kulich is playing RW on the top line for Czechia. He plays the right point on PP1. He generated one nice chance on a rush and had a few decent shot attempts.

Yes, Ilya Lyubushkin is too hard to type out for me.

Yeah, trying to use Sharks’ colours with the Seals’ logo. Gotta go with one of the Seals’ jerseys. This is the one I like best.

I think camp and pre-season games will determine Power’s partner. Joker would have to focus on defense first if paired with Power but he could freewheel on the third pairing. He has a better all around game than Boosh but may not mesh well with Power. Boosh may not be the guy to get 20+ minutes so Joker may slide in with Power. This is a tough decision. When this team is ready to contend, Joker should be a solid third pairing guy.

Performing like that on a U25 team at age 19 is impressive.

I didn’t know anything about that symbol. I sent that emoji last week meaning OK, I think it was well received.

I wonder if another option would be a loan to an SHL or Liiga team? Stronger competition than Czechia, still in Europe and with some English exposure with imports.

I don’t know where the best spot for him to play is. There are pros and cons to all of the scenarios. The Sabres and the Kulich family will determine what is best. The Q players are mostly French but they have a number of players from the Maritime provinces, Ontario guys not drafted in the OHL, a few Americans and Europeans in the league. Kulich’s rights belong to Cape Breton, there are not many French speaking people in that community.

Kulich had many similar goals with the Czechia U18 team. Quinn and Peterka may get some PP time this year too. With more overall talent, no JAGS, DG will have about 9 different forwards he can try out for some PP units.

Nine players that were on the December roster have not returned, including Owen Power.

Good thing his banner will be in the rafters to remind us how to spell it.

Comrie may surprise a lot of people, in a good way. I am an optimist in this case, I don’t see any other option now, short of a trade. If he gives the Sabres average goaltending, that would be a success, considering his level of experience. I see Levi as the future #1 but it will be a while before he is ready. One more NCAA season and one in the AHL? Putting my optimist hat on again, he is the same age as Spencer Knight who is already an NHL backup and may take over for Bob soon. No one is saying Knight isn’t ready and he only played 11 games in the AHL. The pessimist devil on my shoulder says to watch for a Carter Hart scenario with Levi.
