@hsimon62 Pominville on Grigorenko:impressed with hands,vision,skill and shot.. what impressed him most has been how good he's looked defensively Can't wait to see this kid in action on Sunday. http://audio.wgr550.com/a/69884630/1-18-jason-pominville-knows-consistency-is-everything-this-season.htm

She gave up the NESN gig with the Bruins when she moved to the NHL Network.

Agreed. She's hot as long as the camera shot is not a closeup.

@TSNBobMcKenzie No guarantees but Wade Redden may agree to terms with an NHL team as early as tonight. Gomez not likely tonight but in next day or so. Looks like the buyout brothers will not be unemployed for long.

Kevin Porter and Brayden McNabb are AHL All-Stars: http://theahl.com/2013-all-star-rosters-announced-p181375

@Real_ESPNLeBrun Paperwork on Scott Gomez buyout from Montreal is complete

@TSNBobMcKenzie I know most rookie focus is justifiably on Justin Schultz, Mikael Granlund, Nail Yakupov etc but I'm curious to see impact others make... ...Such as Cory Conacher in TB, Marcus Foligno in BUF and STL tandem of Vlad Tarasenko and Jaden Schwartz. Really interesting rookie race.

I ordered a #25 Jersey today from NHL.com Cannot wait until Sunday!!!

@ComedyCentral If Manti Te'o wanted to date a fake person, he should have gone out with a Kardashian. :lol:

Don't be Tardy for the Pardy in Rochester. Adam Pardy placed on waivers.

@TSNBobMcKenzie Waivers today: Angelidis, Wyman, Wilson, Taormina (TB). Cannone (OTT). Chorney (STL). Tardif (BOS). Van Der Gulik (COL). Holden (CBJ). @TSNBobMcKenzie More waivers: Blunden, St. Denis (MTL). Byron, Carson, Irving, Karlsson (CGY), Connor, C Johnson, N Johnson, Klinkhammer, Rechlicz (PHX).

@kevinoDandC As we've speculated all along, the #Sabres have put D Adam Pardy on waivers, per @TSNBobMcKenzie. #Amerks bound. Per @TSNBobMcKenzie , D Adam Pardy and #Amerks C Kevin Porter and LW Nick Tarnasky are the 3 players on waivers by #Sabres. With Ellis not being placed on waivers, guessing #8 and #42 start out the season on IR to get down to the limit of 23 on the roster.

@TSNBobMcKenzie NYI claim Keith Aucoin from TOR.

:sick:

Thought is was contracts at 3 million and above before the 19th that were eligible for buyout.

:w00t: @DarrenDreger Tim Connolly not on the ice at Leafs practice. It's expected Connolly will be placed on waivers. More opportunity for players in system.

@simmonssteve Is Tim Connolly done as a Maple Leaf? Could be. Not on ice for Leafs practice. Hmmm.

NHL uses full-page ad in newspapers to apologize to fans: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nhl-uses-full-page-ad-newspapers-apologize-fans-151304328--nhl.html Mea Culpa says Bettman. Do you accept?

CHL Top Prospects Game is on NHL Network: Team Orr vs Team Cherry http://www.nhl.com/ice/eventhome.htm?location=/nhlnetwork&nav-nhln-main

The 3rd installment of the series is up on Sabres.com: Beyond Blue & Gold, Ep. 3 (1/16/13) In early July, a collection of young Sabres prospects converged on Buffalo for a week-long camp at First Niagara Center. 1/15/2013 7:20 Mins

No Sabres Practice tomorrow. Practice resumes on Friday & Saturday from 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM with free admission. Major Roster decisions to be made no doubt.

@MikeHeika Stars send Radek Faksa (Kitchener) and Brett Ritchie (Niagara) back to junior teams. Both enjoyed the experience, even for a few days. Retweeted by SabresBuzz @SunDoniB Senators have made their first cut, sending F Stefan Noesen back to his junior team, the Plymouth Whalers. #NHL #sens Retweeted by SabresBuzz

HockeyBuzz Update from Day four of Camp: http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=48518 Grigorenko was flanked by Ott and Leino at Day Four of Sabres training camp.

Where would Gomez even fit as a smallish, primarily offensive player with little production in recent seasons? The Centers on the team to start the season are 19, 63, 25, and 55. Looks like no room for Gomez to me.
