How sad. They just don't look good.

Let's just hope they click with chemistry and avoid the injury bug. I'll say 112 goals (jack 42, Samson 34, skinner 36) with a 242 point total. Yea, I'm feeling optimistic...…..

looks like we took a flyer on a 5/6 rhd for a 3/4 rw'er.

I knew I saw something about Phil and this kid. Hoss, can you get specific on the Housley/Dougherty connection? Thanks

Dougherty is an RHD, Phil had a hand in this I'd imagine. I remember reading something about Dougherty and Housley, Minnesota, something about Phil was very high on him due to some tournament? Can't really remember, I'll look it up. edit: can't find anything, maybe it was at the 14 draft when they selected him, I just remember the connection being brought up with this kid.

Yes, it's exhibition, but I am very happy the team isn't getting hemmed in to their own zone for long stretches. It does my heart good.

I LIKE EICH!!!!!!!

nice goal

I'm excited. My daughter and nephew are going, I got stuck at work until 7 ? But I'll be home in time to hopefully catch the last of the 1st and the rest of the game.

Fighting for a playoff spot is a reasonable expectation for this season.

Casey Nelson will surprise this camp.

Hope he is signed soon.

Good question. If I'm reading it correct, we get their 19 pick if they make the playoffs? Ottawa gets it of they don't, throwing us to the 20 pick, is that correct?

Tough to say at this point …………… ?

Pitt D looked like statues there. But Asplund is definitely enjoying this tourney ?

Tyrod scored lol and no, I wouldn't want him back. The Bills are in really bad shape. Are they in year 1 of a football roster rebuild?

wow, just wow. Horri-bad

Garbage roster, Garbage product same story with this organization for 20+ years and running...…….

I tend to not discuss politics very often, if at all. But I saw the conversation about service members in one of the Aid threads so mosied over here to just say I'm an older veteran, and I tend to agree with those on thanking me for my service. I just thank them for their support and move along. I don't think I've ever taken a veteran or service discount, at least, not to my recollection anyways. Every individual served(s) for their own reasons in my opinion anyways. When I joined in 88, there wasn't a lot going on job wise in the area and I was interested in the G.I. Bill for school. Just so happens I got swept up in the Gulf war. I served, I got out in 92, and moved forward in life from there. Then got ready reserved in 2002 after 9/11. I didn't then and still don't expect others to look at me differently, it wasn't like I went running to the base gates screaming YAHOO! while waving an American flag in the air. I served, went about my business, came home and live my life. As so many others have.

Caught the highlights only. Outside of the scoring, did any of the players stand out as solid players?

"Hey Peterman, check out channel 9, it's the breast exams...…" caught that gem over at the stadium wall thread, funny ...….

Good read.flagg. While I realize the post is based on the "what we have now" asset chart, given your points on players abilities and "fit", and the aforementioned glut of roster players, what are your thoughts on JBots not being done with a move or 2 yet?

Depends on his position played (center or left wing), the depth he plays at (2nd or 3rd line) and his line mates. If he's the 3rd line center with a fast young winger(s) with him (E-Rod, Baptiste or Bailey perhaps) then 20 to 25 goals with 25 to 30 assists seems possible, even if stretching it to the high end limit. The line will obviously have the tempo set by him, and he doesn't exactly why away from the task. Chemistry will be critical imo. If he is given 2nd line center duties, I expect those numbers to decrease slightly as he may end up with less O-zone time. If, on the off chance, he ends up as Eichel's left wing..........40+ goals with 50+ assists. ?

Completely agree.

Not so much speculation, just a thought but I would like William Nylander on Eichel or Middlestadts wing.
