Do you have a PS4 or Xbox One? Not sure if NHL 16 will be made for the 360 and PS3 this year. EA tries to make as much $ as possible, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was also released on the 360 and PS4. Many didn't care for it, but I enjoyed NHL 15 on the PS4. Sure, lacked many of the features NHL fans enjoyed in the past, but the gameplay was great. That's what matters most to me. NHL 16 will have most, if not all, of the features back from previous games. Ha EA is getting so detailed they will now have players grow playoff beards! I do have a recommendation for Fallout 4. When it comes out, there are a couple of reasons to not buy it. One, there will probably be a few glitches that will need to be fixed after it's release. Most of the time a simple update can correct that. Two, downloadable content will be offered here and there. If you wait a year or so after Fallout 4's release, a game of the year or special edition will most likely be released. Glitches will be fixed and it will include downloadable content. Just a suggestion. I'll go the route of buying both. I don't like downloading games. Prefer to have a hard copy.

A lot of this picked up shortly before Darcy saying there are tough times ahead for the Sabres. Okay, I can't remember the exact quote, but you get what I'm saying. Shiit, it probably goes further back than that. One could argue Lucic's hit on Miller is when the board started to have a little tension. People slowly began taking sides on the debate on what the Sabres should do next. You were either up for some type of restructure or a complete dismantling of the team and being dependent on the draft. I'll admit I was on the latter of the two. When people get stressed out, they'll naturally become a bit more irritable. The differing opinion turned into the "wife." Let me say this though. This was not the entire board. Majority still respected one another. However, even the ones strongly against another guys opinion were still a reason to be a part of The Aud Club. The venting, probably should use a different word, helped many have a better understanding the pros and cons of each decision made by the Sabres. It showed the amount of passion people on this board have for the Sabres. The guys that differed strongly w/ another persons opinion are valued members. Glad they are on the board. I visit other Sabres boards, but never post. There is a reason for that. Sabre Space is different. And of course different in a good way. People here are rather intelligent, know the x's and o's of the game and have a strong passion for Sabre hockey. This board is one I recommend to all Sabres fans. In my opinion, quality is greater than quantity, but let me add I hope the number of members continue to rise. Just want the noobs to be quality members. SMJ, you're off to a great start! Keep on posting! Welcome to the board! Same goes to other noobs. The future is looking rather bright right now. Let's go buffalo!

Yep, OT is a guarantee....wait, what? That a boy Vermette!

Chicagoal!!! Getting up early for work can be tough, but this is the Stanley Cup Finals. It's worth it.

Looks like I've missed out on a good one. What a GREAT goal for Tampa. Last 1/2 of the 3rd will be fun to watch. Why is it only Wednesday! :wallbash:

Whoa

Much appreciated! Got my display name back!

You...you deleted my account? You son of a @$*#%! Ha ha It's all good. Anyway you can switch my username back to Thanes16? See Noobs, cool place to be. Just don't start out like a persons name I shall not say. Going the Harry Potter route on that one. His early days were rough and I hate to admit a little entertaining. Sort of a did he just say that?!! The guy is good to have on the board now. Let me stress that. And let me give a giant thanks to everyone that said I actually exist!

Beyond yes on the announcement of Fallout 4! Pure awesomeness. And the fact that Boston is the city that gets blown a part makes it even better! :beer:

Ha I remember getting the hustler mag from ya. Why were the pages sticky? Oh, wait.... :sick: Just kidding on that!

Not a bad idea. Noobs would feel less "intimidated." They'd eventually catch on to who the daily posters are, but by the time they do they'll feel more relaxed when posting. And yes, get rid of the Connolly Tip-offs. That right there is a "Hey guys, see the noob. What do you think of this one?" And a big ha on this one. I'm not going to mention the member's name or when he joined SabreSpace, but this guy started out rough. Not due to the vets on this board, but because of his quick temper. If you didn't agree w/ him, he'd take it the wrong way and go off. People were being very welcoming to him, but for some reason or another he took things the wrong way. Eventually he realized how respectful this board can be, and he is now a member I'm sure many are glad to have.

:cry: of happiness! The support here is over whelming. ha ha Noobs, pay attention to this stuff! Let's use an example from 09' or so. I believe it was Godd or Deluca that did this. I mentioned in a thread, probably one for video games, my 360 had crashed and I could no longer play NHL 09' on it. After hearing about it, Godd or Deluca sent me his copy of NHL 09' for the ps2. Godd/Deluca and I do not know each other, but this shows how friendly/great this board can be. If it wasn't Godd or Deluca that did this, I apologize to the person that sent me the game. SabreSpace is a great "community" to be a part of.

Stamkos averaged 14:56 his rookie season. The first half of the season he was held to 10 minutes of ice time. Stamkos was eased into the NHL. I have no problem w/ Bylsma doing the same thing w/ Eichel and Samson. As the season progresses, changes can be made. Increase their ice time when they seem ready. I'm not talking about earning ice time. There is a difference between the two. I would be very disappointed if Bylsma went w/ Nolan's approach.

Supposedly Sakic wants ROR re-signed before the season starts. Doesn't want a headache. And ROR feels the same way. During the season, he claims to have his mind only on hockey. This is from an article written in April. “After the year is over, we will be in contact with his people,” Sakic said, “and we are going to try to re-sign Ryan. We like Ryan a lot. We feel he’s valuable and he’s one of our core guys. … He doesn’t need it, we don’t need it, no one needs the distractions of going through the season (as a possible unrestricted free agent in July 2016), so we’re going to try to get it done.” Would O’Reilly be on the market if he isn’t re-signed to an extension? “I’m not going to put a deadline on it,” Sakic said, “but I want him signed before next season starts, let’s put it that way.” In my opinion, this means if an agreement is not reached this summer Sakic will try to trade him. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a player's value "drop" as his contract nears expiration? Teams know he'll be on the market as UFA very soon. What I mean by this is if an agreement has not been been reached and the trade deadline is near, wouldn't Sakic be asking for less to get rid of him? Something is better than nothing. Now in ROR's case, that something will still be costly, but one can only wonder how much his value has dropped. Plenty of teams would take a shot at the guy if he becomes a UFA. Pegula doesn't have a problem w/ money. If Murray wants him bad enough, Terry will pay. Now, I'm sure a line would be drawn somewhere. Buffalo dropped out of the Richardson bidding war. I know the Rangers had rights to the guy, but 12 million a year was insane.

Ever think about picking up a Roku? Works great w/ Netflix and countless other providers. What smart tv do you have? I have a smart tv by Vizio, but someone lied to it. It's pretty dumb. Vizio says it's compatible w/ Netflix, but it's not. I get the same message you do.

Don't ever say that again! Ok, think happy thoughts GoPre. Just happy thoughts. Yeah, yeah, that's all you need. There was no Regier... There was no Regier.... And guys, I'm not a noob. Been w/ the board since 07'. Had 2,000 + posts, but when I attempted to change my e-mail it froze my SabreSpace account! Formerly known as.... Thanes16. I asked the Mod-Team to fix it, but they ignored me! Those sons of bitcchhes ignored me! Can you believe that?! :lol:

It'd be great if Buffalo went for Tofolli, but LA will probably try to keep him. Saad is the next guy I'd want the Sabres to go after. Just trying to think realistically. LA and Chicago are rather tight against the cap. Boston is also close to the cap, so Hamilton would be a great addition, but Buffalo would have to give up too many quality draft picks. However, if the Sabres acquired Hamilton I wouldn't mind it at all if the 21st pick, Grigs and Zadorov were sent to Colorado for ROR. Just my thoughts. Out of the three mentioned Saad seems to be the most likely to happen. Let me stress this is my "fantasy hockey" opinion.

Didn't read the entire thread, but saw near the beginning an interesting idea. Putting the rosters on NHL 15 and simulating season 1 could decide the winner. After the season is over, you guys could make roster moves/trades to improve your teams. Season 2 could then be simulated. This would be a very long, difficult thing to do for the person managing the NHL 15 updates, but would be interesting. EA sports once made an NFL focused on being a GM. Never attempted to play it, but a friend of mine said it was very difficult/fun. Just an idea for you guys to try out. I'd like to see the results season by season. But again, a lot of work for all of you. Found this NHL GM game online shortly after recommending the idea of using NHL 15. Not sure how good it is, but it may help you guys out. http://websimhockey.com

Fun video to watch. Very creative.

It is a complete load of.... Pittsburgh is exploiting a goof up in whatever the league typed out. If a team fires a coach, they should not receive anything for it if another team hires him. It can hurt a coaches chance of landing another coaching position. If the Sabres do have to give up a 3rd round pick, I'd love it if Murray made a comment on how stupid the rule is. Sure, people have gotten on to Murray for saying this, that and the other when he probably shouldn't have, but I wouldn't mind it all if he slammed Pittsburgh for getting a pick. Didn't know Bylsma was relieved of duty, not fired, until after I posted this.

Hopefully the meeting involves a pen.

Jagr's numbers have dropped a bit, but the guy has aged well. Put up 67 points in the 2013/14 season as a 42 year old. Had 18 in the last 20 games w/ the Panthers this year. Still wouldn't give up much for Hossa. Not everyone drinks from the fountain of youth.

Since Bylsma is still under contract w/ the Penguins, will the Sabres have to give a draft pick to Pittsburgh if he signs w/ Buffalo? As long as it's not a first rounder, it doesn't matter to me. It only cost a 3rd for Babcock.

I know Interstellar has nothing to do w/ Memorial Day, but it has quickly risen in my rankings of best movies ever made. Have watched it countless times. Can't get enough of it. Give Interstellar a watch if you haven't seen it.
