Night Train

I've been to developmental camp a lot the last 2 years. Being 20 minutes away and retired has it's perks. It's funny to be dressing heavily during a hot summer day but Harborcenter is freezing cold. Always laugh when I see folks wander in with shorts and a t-shirt. Can't wait to see him and all the rest of the youth. As a whole, they all looked very fast but needed to grow into NHL bodies. So it's hard for me to predict a roster spot sooner than later. We'll see.

Dubas reprising the Lee Majors role in The Fall Guy.

USA breaks a 3rd period scoreless game and beats a tough Denmark 3-0. Alex Tuch scored the 2nd goal on a nice high shot, short side. USA added an empty net goal at the end. I believe they are 5-0 so far.

Surgery sucks. Especially the healing process (abdominal). 2 weeks since. Spent the 1st week with an IV bag only. No solids. Then comes the 1000 well wishers , telling you to " take it easy ! " So I shouldn't eat a 40 oz.. Porterhouse after my 10 mile run ? Thanks. Close call there.. whew...

The schedule has many dissing the Bills as of now. I take it 1 week at a time with injuries changing everything. Could care less about betting lines/spreads, since I don't bet. Signing Von Miller sent the hype train out of control last year. Allen won't be throwing, running, blocking, doing everything this year. They gave him more help. Now it's up tp Dorsey to call a better gameplan in his year 2.

Cool. 7-3 lead nearing the end. An extra dig at Toronto. Enjoy your Moosehead.

How many bottles of Moosehead just shattered on the floor ?

Leafs keep going along the boards and receive a crushing body check. Florida is so physical.

Absolutely. NHL stacks their games and rarely allows rosters to refresh. $$$ is the ruin of all. Too many games.

Keep drafting. Portillo was so slow in his reaction and lacked movement skills. UPL is not to be trusted at all. Might take one last look at Comrie in camp but I'd explore a vet insurance policy. Keep drafting.

Leafs backup G playing well.

I was at the stadium draft party, sitting right in front of the stage where McDermott and Beane both came out later to speak.. " Wrong Josh " chants actually started with a dozen people. A guy behind me wanted to get physical with anyone that disagreed with him. True story. I told my friend I would never attend another draft party. I don't recall them having another.

Players coach by all accounts but must have friction with his GM or owner. 4 jobs lasting 3,3,3 and 2 years.

Samsonov is handling the situation well. https://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2023/05/05/how-does-leafs-goalie-ilya-samsonov-feel-about-how-his-panthers-counterpart-is-playing-i-dont-give-a-f--.html

His younger brother is going with him.

That ship sailed long ago.

Being down 2-0 going back to Florida is the plan. The panel needs ratings higher than Law and Order reruns.

Maybe he's referring to his 7 man street hockey team.

Good God. Someone give him a sandwich or 10. Skin and bones.

I see no issue with looking at Murray. In the cap age, the roster is full of 1-2 year deals surrounding the core that eats up the cap. He produced when called on, while helping out at a Orlando area high school. Lots of bridge players in the NFL. I suppose we're all different in viewing the team but I always wait until camp to view the progress of the roster with the Bills and Sabres. Who is securing a role/roster spot and who isn't. I get many fans are optimistic by nature. What's wrong with that ? Yet predicting failure with limited or no knowledge seems to be the new hip thingy these days in social media. Strange world.

The Rangers have nothing to complain about. They had 3 unanswered PP opportunities in the 1st period and did nothing to get an early lead.

NYR 0 for 3 on the PP.

It's on ESPN here in WNY ?? ESPN2 is showing some NFL draft stuff.
