Gibson has looked brutal for the Ducks. and 3 things you can guarantee in life: Death, Taxes and Mrazek Being Place on IR with a groin injury.

How awful is Tom Brady’s life right now? Thoughts and Prayers Tawmy😁

I would just love to know what was going through Granato’s mind as he sat on that Krueger coaching staff.

Because I didn’t know which thread to put it in. Please move it to where you see fit.

Bryson and Fitz aren’t ideal as a pair but they are far from the worst 3rd pairing in the league.

People have searched twitter and this was never said by anyone. Hamilton trying to push his personal narrative as a factual report. I’m done with this clown. He needs to go like yesterday.

This team is fun. Dahlin has taken the step to elite player. A lot of people have said this before but Mitts is the key for this team. If he can continue to play well and form a third line that can consistently contribute then this team can really go places. Hope it isn’t too bad for Muel. I thought Bryson and Fitzy played well. I love Boosh’s game.

The Drive Thru crew on TSN today were all praising the Sabres today. Talking about Dahlin and the young dmen and how Tage and Tuch are monsters and all the young talent they have. The main reason they need to keep Tage and Tuch together is because they are such a matchup mismatch. Like Lindros and Leclair. Their size, speed, skill combination causes nightmares for teams. Then you come back with the pure speed and skill of Hinny Cozens JJ and you cause headaches for other teams to defend against.

You are right. I think it has just become my pet peeve following the draft closely for so long that all they ever focus on with every dman is “puck moving” like it is the only tool they need for the position. Lazy analysis more then anything.

I would keep the same lineup in Vancouver. If they lose then shake it up and put Quinn in for Seattle.

Competent yes but it doesn’t define them. Every dman drafted these days is “a puck moving dman”. Guys like Tanev and Weegar that excel at the defensive end either don’t get drafted or are late picks because they are deemed not elite puck movers. The teams that win need the strong defensive presence but no one wants to focus on it in the draft.

WAtching the Stars play, I love Haakanpa’s game. 6’6 RHD that makes a ton of smart defensive plays. He would be a great partner for Power even though he is 30. Dallas won’t want to move him but I think the NHL is coming around to the importance of the Haakanpas and Booshs of the world and not just focusing on puck moving dmen.

Edwards would get laughed out of the arena by goalie scouts today. Not 6’5 doesn’t play butterfly hybrid style. It was a different time and Edwards was a heck of a goalie back then. They look horrible.

Starting the season with: -Comrie in net -Tuch and Krebs in the lineup to start season -Power,Samuelsson in lineup to start season, Boosh here -Mitts healthy (knock on wood) and in the lineup -JJ and Quinn on the team. Each is a big upgrade to the players they are replacing in the lineup. Add that to the steps Dahlin, Tage and Cozens have taken and there is a huge difference in the team so far.

You are misremembering. It was Darcy that asked Terry if he wants to get tougher to play against.

Great win! Who had them sweeping Alberta? Great game by Tuch. Staple him to Tage for the year. Mitts had a hell of a game. Dahlin is just the man. Hinny is on fire. Hinny Cozens JJ needs to stay together. Comrie is so calm. Doesn’t seem to get rattled. Sabres need to cut down on shots against but Comrie has been the real deal so far. Boosh out, Joker goes down early. Ridiculous ref kick goal. Team didn’t fold. Signs of growth. Real growth will not be letting down heading into Vancouver and Seattle. Lets go Buffalo!

Glad they gave Comrie the net again. Hope he can build on an excellent game against Edmonton.

That group with the Preds, Blues and Coyotes is an absolute dumpster 🔥

I put very little stock in anything Pronman has to say. I have never been impressed with his knowledge or this status he has been given in the hockey ranks.

Winnipeg is loaded this year. I think they are 8-1 and Red Deer with Lindgren are 8-0. I’m glad they are keeping Savoie at centre. He was very good at the dot at the Prospects Tournament

Starting 17-6-2 and not making the playoffs is still so impressive.🤪
