While I agree that the Sabres gave up on lots and lots of good players. Look at the reason - Continuous incompetent hockey operations and coaching. It’s been constant change since Pegula took over. Nolan was doomed. Bylsma and Kruger were NHL flashes in the pan. Housley was an ex-Sabre wet-dream. All the GMs were first timers and they all eventually got rid of their predecessor’s players.

Reinhart gets the EN. Smart and skilled player. I wish he would have told Adams he would stay. Bennett pummeled Marchand. Another ex-Sabre scores. E-rod lol.

The Broons should have played Linus tonight. They might have turned it up more. My money is on the Panthers. Oh, the Beaners lit the lamp.

Montour scores.

Ekblad held him, and slid him into Bob. Boston getting screwed on this call.

We usually throw in a protected first rounder too.

Everyone is quick to hand the job to Levi. I’m not.

Nice. This is a nice surprise. Didn't know you liked football that much, and I was an avid Shout! reader in the early days.

They cannot afford to let another goalie get away.

Maybe. But that group, plus Bogo, was not good chemistry.

Utah Mormans? Utah Saints? Utah Later-day-saints? Utah LSD? Utah Salt Miners? ?

Nah. Montreal Expos never caught on.

How do they do they encourage that? It’s about the return for the leagues top goal scorer?

They won’t be young forever and they can and must add toughness. But yes, just making the playoffs isn’t going to get you a Cup. It gets you invited to another level.

Bergeron is missed. Marchand is not the same without him either. He is also long in the tooth. Pasta fighting now. He was definitely targeted.

Mikola molested Pasternak before the goal and the second scrum. .

Panthers piling it on. Boston will answer at home. A fight breaks out as I type.

Ekblad is a beast out there.

Thinking more about it. I would prefer to keep this pick and move the prospect(s) the FO thinks think less of. I know very little about the players in the draft, but if we make a pick at 11 then I hope Iginla is there.

Loved Denucci, and I saw him beat nemesis Waldo Von Erick in the Aud and he also beat Ernie "The Big Cat" Ladd (a former AFL player) . He formed a great tag team with Tony Parisi and later again with Victor Rivera. Good times.

Thanks. Hoping to see this aspect of his game continue to improve in his 3rd year. He could be ready the year after. Of course if Adams does not add a few helpful vets he could be playing in the NHL sooner, rather than later.

This makes sense. Both our coaches and other teams scouts have now had a few more years to look at Rosen, Kulich, Östlund and Savoie. Maybe the shine has come off of a few of them, or maybe a few look better? Either way, I would be inclined to move on one or two of the four 20-21 year olds, and then add an 18 year old from this draft. This gives the pipeline more legs.

I have seen nothing that indicates Kulich is more of a 2-way player than anyone else in this group. He may be, but I hear that is the part of his game that still needs development. However, Kulich's potential cannot be denied. At 20 he has already played 119 AHL games with 51 goals, plus 16 playoff games and 7 goals. He is 6'1" and 186 pounds - that is good size for 20 years old. His play and leadership in Worlds was also notable. I suspect he is going to be ready by 22. Trade him and we just might regret it. We really don't know much at all about how Östlund's game translates to North American hockey. Like Kulich he is 20 years old, but at 5'11" he still weighs only 165'ish and has a slighter build. He has 5 AHL games under his belt, way to soon to make any solid judgements. Supposedly has good hands and skills. Nothing so far that wants me to keep him over Kulich, or Savoie for that matter.

It was Bobo. But his patented move was the Coco butt, which was a head butt. Most every great rastler had a signature move. A flying drop kick, a sleeper hold, a chop to the throat, or something.

I loved when the Sheik was on. Or Bobo Brazil.
