  1. I think it is former Caps player Craig Laughlin.
  2. Kane still hitting lots of iron. Puck luck needs to change.
  3. Watching the Caps feed. I know they have a good team but they talk like we are a bug on the windshield. Let's halt their streak and get closer to a playoff spot.
  4. Missed the game due to work. Sounds like it was awesome. We need to keep the momentum going. The never give up mentality is another great asset to have. I love that ROR is living up to his contract. Too many athletes level off or drop off after a big deal. Props to TM. Imagine the Avs with him, Duchene and MacKinnon up the middle, way too much talent for the available ice time.
  5. This guy's development path has sped up this year. I'm looking forward to watching him play.
  6. Sabres should make him an offer to drive up the bidding. Toronto will go to any lengths to win him over. They'll overpay, so he should play the field.
  7. I don't think it will happen, but the key indicator will be if our roster is depleted by trades and or injuries, and Matt Ellis is called up.
  8. They would want more than Ennis. They may want to reunite the Foligno brothers plus have us throw in a draft pick.
  9. O'Reilly vs Toews would be a great matchup to watch.
  10. Would the Sabres store change the L in Leino to an R? My last sweater with a name is Perreault. The next will be Reinhart.
  11. Could end being the Swedes we need, Lehner and Ullmark may be our net-minders for quite a while.
  12. In a true tank year, Matt Ellis is in our top 9.
  13. My second home was in a stagnant market. Small town with 2 main employers. Mining operation shut down and 100+ jobs were lost. I got a job elsewhere but it took me two years to sell. I got 20% less than what we had paid for it 11 years earlier. Factor in interest, upgrades, taxes, etc... It was far from an investment. Markets change all the time, certain properties can handle the downturns. Around here, waterfront always is in demand. Today's hot market can become cold in a hurry due to economic factors beyond your control, even your country's control. I'm still in the ownership camp but I learned a lesson. I'm not in a hot market but it is stable.
  14. Vegas as an expansion team and Quebec as a relocation site (Florida, Carolina, Arizona) makes sense to me. NHL would like to be 16 in the east and west, but would have to wait for a Pacific Northwest group to step up to the plate. The hefty expansion fee may be scaring a potential owner off or they are willing to play the waiting game on a relocation. There would still be an imbalance between east and west, especially if Arizona relocates. I think Quebec is different, not a pure expansion, but righting a wrong. They should be more competitive immediately in this scenario. They would rather pay for a relocation, like Winnipeg, than the full expansion fee. Vegas would prefer that option as well, but may not be able to pull it off.
  15. Kasdorf with a shutout last night vs Harvard. He had lost the starter's role after his injury but this should be a sign of better times for him.
  16. Let's take advantage of these guys. McDavid is out, their D and goaltending still suck and they are at the bottom of the standings. Let's show them what a rebuilding team looks like. Go Sabres.
  17. I think he is effective enough to get those minutes. He hangs back giving Risto the ability to rush once in a while. They don't need him to do it all this year. I'm sure he's a good influence on our young D.
  18. Let's beat these guys. Reinhart to show his former line mates some new tricks.
  19. Haven't heard any different. Like I said, it is a well built home. When the 4 pieces went together there was no shims or wedging or sledgehammers. Snapped together like LEGO, perfectly level. There was 3 weeks of work before moving in to touch up and paint the drywall, install ceramic flooring and tie in services (well, septic, electricity, phone & cable).
