  1. Did you drop the Bruins the day the Sabres debuted or did you cheer for both for a while?
  2. Anytime I see someone mention a player they like for this draft on any Sabres site the automatic response is “he will be long gone by the Sabres selection” By my calculations 27 players will be selected in the first 12 picks of the draft.😀 They will have their choice of about half a dozen very talented forwards at their pick. Whether ASP or Reinbacher will be there is unknown. I have a feeling one of them will be but will the Sabres see them as the best player available will be the key. There seem to be a good group of dmen that will go late first into the second round.
  3. Maybe the comment want directed at you.
  4. Go back and read this board when Montour was here. You all wanted to drive him to the airport. Let’s not pretend this was the way he was playing for Buffalo.
  5. Wolf Blitzer and the “Breaking News Arena”🤣
  6. Novikov has 3rd pairing big physical defensive dman traits. Neuchev is very young but the kid has star traits to him. If he develops properly he could turn out to be an impact player 3 years from now.
  7. Savoie with 1g,2a as Winnipeg win 6-2 to go up 2 games to none against Saskatoon.
  8. Canadian Tire Centre is in Kanata which is outside of downtown. The idea was to build it out there and then everything would be built up around it. That never happened. There is really nothing wrong with the arena other then being in the middle of nowhere. It is not easy for everyone to get to. Lebreton Flats is prime downtown real estate that was put up for bid. The Sens won the bid to develop the land into an arena and entertainment district. That was when Melynyk was still alive. I don’t know if they ever bought the land or just won the bid.
  9. Read the edit I just added to my post
  10. It’s not just the Sens team. It is the land in downtown Ottawa, Lebreton Flats, that will be transformed into an arena and entertainment district. Edit: After reading the article it states: - they would buy the team and arena. They would bulldoze the arena and develop the area in Kanata. The mayor doesn’t want that area left with nothing. - they would then build a new arena and entertainment district downtown, Lebreton Flats or other area
  11. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nhl/multiple-flames-players-reportedly-will-leave-if-darryl-sutter-returns/ar-AA1aqVMe?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=a263a10e5a7847ab935f3cf61d5f3d99&ei=6 Apparently ownership doesn’t want to fire Sutter so it will be an interesting summer in Calgary. New GM might have to make a lot of moves there.
  12. A lot of rumours out there that your contract demands are ridiculous. Board might have no choice but to move on if you insist on pricing yourself out of our salary structure.😜
  13. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danschlossberg/2022/10/14/hall-of-fame-closer-bruce-sutter-made-the-most-of-free-agent-pact/amp/ It actually ended at the end of 2022 when he passed. The bottom of the article explains it. Just crazy. “That convinced the Braves to sign him to a six-year, $9.1 million deal with much of the money deferred. Although he gave Atlanta just 40 saves over three injury-riddled seasons, Sutter wound up a big winner. His pact provided $4.8 million in deferred money that would pay 13 per cent interest over a 36-year period. Once it expired in 1990, Sutter started receiving an annual stipend of $1.3 million per year, pushing its total value to almost $50 million, making it one of the biggest in baseball at the time.”
  14. Bruce Sutter just got his last cheque from the Braves this season. He hasn’t been with the team since like 1990.
  15. Ullmark , hate to see it. Thoughts and prayers😀
  16. Sabres are never allowed to have another Perrault😛 He is an interesting case. The viewings back up the article. Not big, average skater but exceptional hockey IQ. One thing i worry about is he had an amazing season on that line but when you go back over previous years he didn’t put up dominating numbers. Good numbers but nothing like this year. So is he a product of the line, did he just put it altogether? Him going to BC with the same line mates will make it tough to know. Talented kid for sure but tough to gauge where he ends up at the NHL level.
  17. Disagree. Stillman played solid in Buffalo’s system. He is a bottom pairing dman and like you said might be depth on a good d core. But he brought value to the Sabres. He played physically and was not a liability at all. He brought a much needed different element then Bryson or Clague.
  18. I watched him in Oshawa against the Generals and came away not worried about the trade at all.
  19. They hired the coach of the University team out there. It was a highly unusual move.
  20. Tampa are spent. 3 trips to the Finals and injuries have caught up to them.
  21. Kamloops plays Seattle which will be a battle of the titans. The winner plays the Winner of the Winnipeg-Red Deer/Saskatoon Series. Kamloops hosts the Memorial Cup this year. It means that if Kamloops makes it to the WHL finals then whoever plays them gets into the Memorial Cup as well. So If Kamloops beats Seattle and Winnipeg wins and faces them then both teams are in regardless of the final series. If Seattle wins and plays Winnipeg then the winner of that series is in along with Kamloops. Hopefully Savoie makes it to the Memorial Cup as it would be great for his development.
  22. Probably by going to the front lines in Ukraine
  23. Stop posting facts from the PC. It’s going to ruin a lot of narratives being pushed on here.😀
