Which is why I said "almost". Just sayin'. ;)

Haven't seen the Sabres at all over the last week and a half as I was out of town. The tank is sputtering. Can someone gas that baby up and get a full load of ammo on it?

F***ing Enroth is really screwing up the tank. Even during this winning streak, the Sabres in almost every game are getting outshot, and in most cases, outshot badly.

There are several players who shouldn't be in the teams long term plans, and the sooner they are jettisoned, the better the chances of finishing near the bottom. I am only listing those who I think should be traded AND who actually have trade value... Stafford Stewart Hodgson Enroth or Neuvirth Myers(I wouldn't mind seeing them trade him, but I don't believe he is going anywhere) Tank Commander Murray needs to start "unloading" by Jan 1 at the latest.

Harborcenter does not have anywhere close to the required capacity for an OHL team. I'm guessing at least 4-5k.

Murray is 6 months away from an offseason/draft that will probably define how his career as part of this organization will go. I might just turn in my fan card if he walked away from the job. What would happen next? Bring back LaLa? Bring back Regier?

Edmonton gives up TWO SHG during the same penalty. They are taking tanking to a new level.

Never going to happen. Never.

I'll 2nd this. This team isn't capable of coming anywhere near the playoffs, so there is no sense ending up in no mans land.

I'll second that!! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: Big upgrade over that old battle axe that they normally roll out to do the anthems.

You know the bozos(Howson, McTavish and Lowe) in Edmonton, along with their fans, understand the impact of McEichel. I fully expect them to do whatever it takes to finish dead last. TM must keep a close on on their tanking efforts, and must one-up them throughout the season.

Back to back losses to the Habs will renew my faith in being able to draft McEichel.

I don't care how tough they are, I am just talking about reigning in expectations based on a handful of games as pros, and how as young players they can regress(i.e. Mysie) just as easily as turning into all-stars.

Go easy liger. Just don't mention the word "Norris" in the discussion. Just remember how quickly some regress after their rookie seasons...<cough> <cough> Mysie <cough> <cough>.

My statement may have been somewhat unfair, but something is VERY WRONG with the Amerks. Highly touted prospects Armia, Grigs, Larsson, Pysyk, McCabe, two good young goalies in Lieuwen & Makarov, and solid AHL vets Petrecki, Bagnall, Ellis, Adam, etc... should not equal the worst team in the AHL over the last several weeks. I want to see the young players in a winning environment, not one that is competing with their parent club for who sucks more on any given night.

Actually it will be bad for weeks prior if the Sabres end up on a path where it looks like they will finish 3rd from the bottom or higher. If it plays out that way, I will be inconsolable. :lol:

Has the 2015 draft lottery date been announced?

Think yeast infection.

What is a good way to judge them?

Losing 2-0 four minutes into the game. Like father, like son?

LBI

FYI... The Amerks are an AHL worst 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. What happened to "we have the best prospect pool in all of hockey"? :(

Sorry but two years of tanking has me brainwashed into believing that anything but McEichel is going to be a huge letdown. In fact another win tonight, and I may go into hiding. :lol:

Disclaimer...I know nothing about Marner except what I read here. 5'10" 165 lbs with a top 5 pick?? :o

Drop the Isles and Flames. They both have earned the promotion...or is it a demotion. I'm confused. :)
