[Game of Thrones]

Good, not great episode last night, but that's par for the course for the first episode of a new season.

 

Should get cooking big time next week.

 

Am I the only one looking for the "SC" content symbol (for "strong sexual content") at the beginning of each episode???

 

:w00t:  :w00t:  :blink:  :P

[Free Agents this summer, who should Sabres pursue and why.]

Although free agency will not be the foundation upon which this off-season is built, it will be interesting to keep an eye on it.

 

It should tell us something about how quickly Tim Murray wants to kick the rebuild into high gear.

 

He showed his cards a bit with the Myers/Kane deal, but just how much does he want to fast forward this thing?

 

Free agency will be one indicator to look at. 

[What if Eichel Decides to Return to BU Next Year?]

Given the tag under his name, I'd assume Dave would care.

I see.  Yes.  Good point. 

 

Well, McDavid is the better option and he will be selected first overall.  That is not in doubt.

 

The only doubt surrounds who will be selecting him in the No. 1 slot.

Let's hope it's the Sabres.  If not, Eichel is one hell of a player too.

[Sabres fire Ted Nolan]

Who is surprised?

Oh some Sabres fans are, for sure.

 

I would say most hard core hockey fans are not however.

[What if Eichel Decides to Return to BU Next Year?]

While it may seem unlikely, there is a possibility of him playing another year, especially now that BU lost the title game.  When asked about it last night, Eichel, while clearly not tipping his hand, articulated the advantages to staying in school and furthering his development.   

 

Question, does this have any impact on drafting him, assuming the 80% probability comes to pass and the Sabres draft second?

 

Let me ask you a question, Devjid Drychovny:

 

What if we get slightly lucky with our 20% odds and win the lottery?

 

And then select McDavid?

 

Who cares what Eichel does then!

 

:flirt:

[The Next Coach of the Buffalo Sabres]

Never seen that before MBH, that was great  :lol:

Hey Wildcard!

 

Just because you look like the gimp don't mean you play like the gimp!

 

:w00t:  :w00t:  :lol:  :lol:

[Sabres fire Ted Nolan]

This was predictable, but I didn't think it would come quite this quickly, so it surprised me in that sense.

 

As it is, Ted's systems knowledge and Xs and Os tactical knowledge of hockey is weak, and part of why he was fired the last time around with the Sabres.

 

No real surprises here.

 

I would love to see Babcock hired of course, though I somehow think that won't happen.
