Night Train

Verizon Fios - Local - Most all the games (MSG) except the streamers like tonight. Local Sports bars will have the game.

https://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-relocation-7-cities-that-make-sense/ Atlanta not mentioned at all.

Sabres 8-4-1 vs. McJesus. 12 points in 13 games according to radio this morning. So coming into tonight, he's never had a big game ever vs. Buffalo. Which means he'll probably have a 5 point night tonight. Jinx. Gulp ! Go good guys !

No Billings, Montana or Boise ?

Completely get that. Must show a base season ticket number (15,000 roughly) with a deposit. Why take them seriously otherwise ? Is their actually a hockey market that can sustain beyond a few years of initial corporate investment ? Quebec City could hit that fig in abouut an hour.

Some other great ideas the NHL had that failed quickly during my time..(I'm old) Oakland/California Seals Kansas Ciy Scouts Cleveland Barons Quebec had an owner that got wiped out financially and Colorado got the team. That's a place they should actually revisit. Big fanbase.

LOL at Atlanta, which has failed twice. It's like the NFL twice trying St. Louis and failing. Yet they still talk about it yet again.

To remember Luce & Ramsey being so great at this part of the game. The goaltending was better also. Then seeing a call against us and basically thinking it's 50/50 we give up a goal. Better Asst. Coaches ? They tend to specialize in PP amd PK setups. Results aren't there yet.

I get it but I cannot ride the daily emotional roller coaster for several weeks. Just win as much as you can and post your number, come April. We've improved a ton since this time last year. More to come.

Know all about Brock Bowers. I get he's probably not being picked by Bills but his workout and physical build was just amazing. His agent is very happy today.

Cromrie has won his last 4 starts. Not promoting greatness but it's hard to call 4 straight wins an issue.

Saw some combine highlights . Winner or the physical freak award. Darnell Washington, A TE from Georgia. Bills talked to him.

Now he needs to stay out of trouble. He is the GOAT and we don't need to read another police report or suspension. Stay clean.

It's still a good day when Tampa coach Copper benches Stamkos, Point and Kucherov for the entire 3rd period. ABC hockey just slamming TB right now. Hahahaha !

The early posts in this thread are always entertaining. I heard someone on WGR radio this past week state the Sabres were something like 37 points out of a playoff spot at this point last year. But why keep things in perspective ? Goalie and D issues still present and yet here we are.

Funny, We all kinda think you did. LOL

Yes, we are almost out of picks. Down to like 80, so it seems..

I will judge him more next year, after a summer to fully mend and get more acclimated with the team. Right now, he's probably being told to go show a physical presence and fit in. No issues. Next year, he'll have 2 solid linemates on the 3rd or 4th line and know he's part of something long term towards helping the team become a regular participant in the playoffs.

Silly. They can only get an A if they went for big names...which was never going to happen with KA's explanation of their thinking. That means giving up picks and promising young prospects they just drafted recently. Chychrun was the only known name I was interested in. If Savoie and Kulich were needed to leave in order to get it done (according to the Buffalo News), then I don't blame KA for walking away. You dont draft them high to ship off before seeing them grow. You revisit the needs during the off-season. Everything I read about those 2 young guys is they are showing a lot at present. Round 1 guys can do that. Not blindly defending the company line but respecting KA's thinking.

Peterka broke out of a 26 game scoreless hole. Still like him a lot long term.. but it's not surprising when they lose their path for a while at this young stage of their career. He could sit. Jost could sit. I do think VO will be a trade chip during the summer. KO could be done. That opens up 2 spots for next year and maybe more. Loaded at the young forward position.

BTW - IS Ryan Johnson finally signing ? Is he an upgrade or another Bryson/Butcher type than is just holding a spot for someone ?

They have room to add in Vet FA. Bigger, more rugged defensemen or 2. I expect any forwards to be promoted from within. What Goalies will be out there is the question.

Nashville pressbox has Gumbo. He'l like that.

Basically saying he's not a 5-7 Swede. Our prior preference.

Fanatical
