For me, they’re both home. Buffalo currently but I’m moving to Charlotte next week so this all checks out.
Hey Hoss, good luck with your move. Don't forget your computer ?

Love the poem Santa. Merry Christmas everyone and the very best in 2019!

And McCabe and Nelson.
4 of those 5 were thought by many to be marginal NHL players at best and probably not long for the league. Now 2 of those 4 are rock-solid top-4 guys, the other 2 are legit 3rd pairing guys with skill and the 5th — Risto — is living up to his potential and becoming a star.
And that doesn’t even include the gift we got in the lottery.
Howie is coaching them up.
Yes and yes. I think that its about time that we give Steve Smith some credit also.

I believe that you took the proper steps in correct sequence. It sometimes take a while for the corporate gears to move. Best of luck and I hope that you are awarded the position.

The Pontiac Silverdome was built in 1975. It was used by the Lions for 26 years and by the Pistons for 10 years. That facility also used a curtain during BB games which seemed to take away from the character of the internal structure. My biggest complaint when watching the Pistons a few times was that the crowd noise was absorbed by the huge building. Granted, the Pistons were not very good for most of their time in the Dome. but IMO it seemed like it was a quiet venue. It's likely that architecture and sound absorption is much different than it once was.
Guess that was back before your days in the Motor City Doohickie?

Yea, kinda thought so. He averages a shot per game and I remember reading on DBB that he was a stay at home dman (although the read was some time ago). Seems like if he's now paired with Darlin that he would be more the safety than Rasmus. What do you think - Ink?
-
Thing I heard on Beaulieu is that he seems to make the same mistakes. That was evident on many occasions last year. Nelson is a good stay-at-home dman which complements Dalin's unique offensive skillset.
-
Yes definitely. You see him battling in the corners and behind the net more than before. LOVE IT!!!

Maybe this is why? I also think the concussions may turn people off. Think about it....allot of people hate Mardhand and Brady but that doesn't mean there any worse a player.
Ok, I get it, thanks

To those out there
that hate Skinner --- why?
He always seemed to play well against us. And +/- aside which is not entirely his fault, I respect his game.
-
Said previously on the board that Car took what they could get. GM Don Waddell said. "We talked to every team in the League over the past four months, and ultimately the Sabres were the team that provided us with the best value in return, including three picks and a prospect we like in Cliff Pu." Apparently no other team was willing to give "a bunch" for Skinner in the final year of his contract. I love the deal and am hoping that he does will and we can sign him long-term.

A quick and not so great attempt
Hey SA or anyone out there who is good with coloring software. Care to try give us a look at what the WC uni would look like in royal blue and another in gold?

There's literally a guy whining to Jeremy White that his Winter Classic jersey "from 6 months ago" is outdated now. It's a one-time shot jersey from an outdoor game. It's not supposed to be current.
Speaking on the WC jersey's. I think that they rock. Was there ever any discussion about making them permanent? With royal blue the home jerseys of course.

Sources in St. Louis say that O'Reilly, Nolan and C. Johnson are opening a bar ?

I think that we can say it was a definite maybe ?

I wasn't sure about Thompson at first but am becoming increasingly excited about his potential.

I'm not arguing against his most productive season and Duchene. It is interesting that both of those players forced their way out of Colorado though.
Also interesting that Colorado's fortunes changed after they both left. Not saying that its 100% the reason but ....... perhaps a plus due to culture change.

I would love for the Sabres to find a way to get Tkachuk, but I don't see any way of it happening without giving up too much and setting the team back.
I think he has an "IT" factor. Perhaps it's just my exposure to his personality and not others...
Totally agree LTS. and well said. There is an "it" factor. If he goes to the Habs, I hope that he doesn't turn into a Sabre Killer like Damphousse. Man, it seemed like he scored on us every game.
-
I think that this quote from Kimelman on Tkachuk is funny "his size and strength will make his teammates a few inches taller". With Montreal or Ottawa poised to draft him, looks like we might see him a bunch of times each season. As you all know by now I wish that we could see him 82+ times per season.

Speaking of hitting on second-rounders, how come no one talks about last year's number 2, Marcus Davidsson?
20 points in 38 games in the top Swedish league last year — second highest scoring teenager after Elias Pettersen.
Fast, two-way guy, plays centre and wing — looks a lot like Asplund in terms of his upside.
Funny you ask. In Harrington's article today he mentioned that the Sabres are "high on second-round center Marcus Davidson and second-round goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen".

Pi & Liger ----- good one ----- hahahaha
Are the Sabres damaging players?

Well ----- Belichick wasn't Belichick either after his first two seasons. His coaching record was 13-19.
