For those in Canada it looks like TSN has it scheduled to show live.

Why does everyone insist on Guhle getting a look before McCabe? Is this just based on the assumption McCabe won't be healthy in time for the season? If not, McCabe has had way more development and is way bigger and stronger to handle the game than an 18 year old rook.

This is a good part of the reason that I thought McCabe would start the year in Buffalo. I guess he still may but ofcourse he's hurt now too. I'm just surprised Cola isn't hurt yet.

I overdrafted RB's for a reason! :lol:

Oh Christ, I almost forgot about him. Seems some had higher expectations than others at the time of the deal. http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/22268-confirmed-sabres-acquire-winger-linus-omark-from-edmonton/?hl=omark

Who the is Linus Omark??

Anyone know how Grigo has looked early on with Colorado? I'm assuming very few follow them but any tidbits from the media?

I earlier gave Guhle no shot for a 9 game tryout but he's probably one more injury away from it.....

Wait, did I already beat my projected 0-14 season?! I'm middle of the back in points scored through 3 weeks and with Bell back in my lineup I expect a nice little run coming. Nobody saw the Larry Fitzgerald pick coming :D

Finally off the snide!! Welcome back Mr. 1st overall pick!

For those supporting the tank this was the high point of the season :ph34r: Agreed. The CHL thread was also a savior of sorts with it's comedic relief.

Sounds good, I'll be there.

Hahhaha, maybe I keep it? No, I just can't.

You guys are going to miss the creepy grin....

Come on guys! It's game day and the tank is over! You better be on your game come regular season Qwk....

I love the outlook and very early on he looks like he may be a bit of a steal in relation to where he was drafted? Skating he appears to be ready but with all players (especially those outside of the top 10 overall) they have a ton to work on their game. Some may disagree but he reminds me a little bit of Mark Pysyk but still needs time to develop. No sense rushing him in any way, especially when we will require several guys to clear waivers. Let this guy play another year of junior and then a year in the AHL and we may have a nice second pairing guy. Edit - Unfortunately due to the NHL/CHL agreement, Guhle actually has to play 2 more seasons in junior before he is AHL eligible.

Also, the point on Guhle, I think there's almost no chance he makes the team (don't want to go down the zero chance conversation again). As has been pointed, three guys would have to get waived, plus I would really think McCabe gets a crack before Guhle if a youngin is going to make the top 6.

Don't we all?

Christ I would hope so. I didn't enjoy cheering for my team to be embarrassed for two straight years. He had better be the real deal, but it is very comforting seeing him live up to expectations so so early in his career. As someone mentioned, last year I was watching Reinhart hoping he would make a good, smart play. Jack shows it almost everytime he hits the ice. Also, that's not suppose to be a shot at Sam, I know he will be fine.

Great post. Who would have thought 3 years ago that we would not only have 3 legit, top 9 centres in the organization but really we 5!! (O'Reilly, Eichel, Reinhart, Larsson and Girgs).

Buuuurrrrrrnnnnnnnn :lol:

One catch for Jones?! One?! Put up big numbers but you put up even larger ones. Nice win. I really wanted to split the first two games but hopefully Le'veon Bell's return can pull me out of this 0-2 hole.

Not over yet ink but boy did I need that Jones td.

Keenan Allen for Danny Woodhead? I take the opposite stance on Gordon and don't think he's looked good at all. Meanwhile, Woodhead catches much more passes and gets all the goal line work. Especially since you have Gordon, if he goes down Woodhead could be a top 10 RB.

Nice read, thanks for posting.
