Ducky

Looked him up...he scored one in 2010-2011 and didn't score in regulation again and played parts of everyseason until 2016-2017.

You guys had Adam Pardy, did he score a goal for you...didn't for us.

You must not watch many Western Conference games...

You got that right but what a shot Eichel has...nice snipe. Jets are going to lose if they don't stay out of the sin bin.

Time for some Jack Herer...

Pretty soft call on the holding but otherwise a pretty good first to watch. I love these fast paced games with few whistles.

Nothing wrong with that, nothing at all.

3rd of your team?

Good action for two teams that played yesterday afternoon... Anyone notice how easily Laine turns over the puck???

His 5.5m AAV is way too much for him...I'll bet he gets that from some gm in free agency. I sure hope it isn't Chevy.

Kuli is out with an UBI and Lemieux is a game time decision. They say he blocked a shot at the end of the game last game. I know a lot of players have a flu or cold lately. Kuli has played well with Myers since coming back from injury but his last game was forgettable...Joe frickin' Morrow is Maurice's choice over Niku...again. You guys watch 70 today and tell me if you think he is an NHL D man... Lemieux has surprised me after his BS headshot penalty in Finland and subsequent benching. He's been playing on a really good 4th line.

My ethnic background has some Ukranian in it as a LOT of people around here do. Lotsa Polish people too though.

Lemieux has 6 goals in his last 9 games so I hope he greets him with a pizza!

I am going to see if that Carolus is available here.

Estrella is my favorite but I want to try more Inedit.

Irish? It has warmed up to -30 with -32 with the windshield. Mexico still can't come soon enough! The way they have been playing lately, they would be happy to make it to overtime.

Beer, kubasa and perogies, I'm ready for the game. I also have cabbage rolls (holobchi) and some Jack Herer. The Jets have lost 3 in a row (regulation) for the first time since the 2016-2017 if I'm not mistaken. Here's to a good clean game where nobody gets blown out.

Actually, Lemaire was a center for the Habs. He had Lafleur and Shutt as wingers for 4 or so years at the very end of his career. He was also more of a playmaker than a sniper. Unheralded as a defensive player but he was a good two way center.

If the Jets go after someone, I think it will be a center and I don't think Toffoli was playing C for the Kings. Dzingel is a LW I think and Ferland, a Manitoba native, is also a LWer. I hope they stay away from Hayes, too. Staal would be nice, if available. Duchene would be too costly...I want no part of Brassard...Schenn would be nice but he'd cost more than we paid for Stastny because of his extra year. I'd give up a 1st and Petan or even as high as Comrie for Staal, especially if he re-signed for two more years. I can also see Chevy picking up a D man for depth...maybe something like a 4th rounder or something for a D man.

I heard that too. He has one more season at 894k so it isn't about cap issues. He's a player that will be very important for the team going forward as he will not be making BIG money. They're trying to groom him for 2C but I t hink his future is on the RW...Laine and Wheeler play RW though...I am guessing he is on there because that is who other teams are asking for. He's a keeper but Maurice is bringing him along slowly. He averages just over 9 minutes a game. He usually plays on the 2PP and is a great skater that has excellent acceleration. Defensively responsible in all areas of the ice. A good shot and good IQ. He always comes in at the number one spots for all the tests they do when everyone first shows up for TC...2 or 3 years in a row now. His biggest flaw in his lack of consistency if you ask me. I'm glad Maurice has the option to bring him along slowly. Inconsistency seems to be one of the biggest things with youngsters. It's a grueling schedule, especially when you are travelling like some of the teams in the west travel. I heard Pitt wanted Lowry for Brassard!!! That must have been a quick convo. As far as shutting down Getz and them (Perry's first game back by the way), it is usually Lowry's line that goes up against the other team's top lines but Maurice is fine playing Scheif's line as well. Lowry is a beast and the shift is usually spent cycling in the O zone. It is our 4th line that has really picked it up lately. Lemieux has shown some soft hands and Appleton and he are gelling with Copper. If only Laine would wake the fack up from his deep sleep and start playing hockey again...he scored 18 goals in November and has scored 4 since then. I'm not sure what the problem is but I wish he'd wake up...Maybe Minny will fall in the standings and trade us Staal at the TD. As far as the coach goes, I am more than happy with him but he has his detractors...fans have been calling for his head since he was hired...you can't keep firing coaches and GMs...you have to make a plan and stick to it...the owners and the GM and the coaches have all got to be on board with it...consistency in management accounts for a lot if you ask me.

Roslovic with a hatty last night.

-53C with the wind here last week...-63.4F Getting cold again next Thursday or so...pretty sick of it

-46C here forecast for Wednesday morning. That is -50.8F. -8C or 17F for Saturday.

Hold on to those picks and draft wisely. Give JBot time to build his team and get rid of some contracts. Posters here won't like this but the best thing (long term) the Sabres could do this year is finish low and get another quality player in the draft and don't let those picks play until they are ready is another thing some teams do with youngsters. Some players will have a lot of success in the NHL but it doesn't have to be the year or year after they are drafted. Give JBot time to build his team and get rid of some contracts and I think the Sabres are contenders in 2-3 more years.

I'm just glad the water leaving the well to the house hasn't frozen. Cabo can't come soon enough.
