Yeah, I'd say Risto, but Zadorav is coming along nicely. As for Pysyk, he was his usual self - steady, calm, in the right place at the right time, not flashy but just effective.So who looked more impressive, Zadorov, Pysyk, or Risto? Seems like Risto from what others have said (I didn't catch the game). Good to hear some positive things about Catenacci. Hopefully he can keep improving, because he was a prospect I had started to give up on.
The coaches will have some difficult choices about the roster this fall.
A couple of observations from Mike Harrington and post-scrimmage audio from Samson, Risto, Chadd Cassidy a couple others: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/sabres/2014/07/d-camp-scrimmage-audio-what-i-say-what-they-said.html

Thanks campy, same question for you I posed to X. Any chance we see some of this talent in the ECHL this coming year?
I could write paragraphs about boring stuff like defensive positioning, battling along the boards, faceoffs, and other on-ice stuff. The player moves stuff I'm not really in tune with.
There are a lot of guys who who played tonight that could probably benefit by spending a year or two in the E but most of guys I'm thinking of will be returning to their junior or college teams (or in the cases of Sundher and Kea, the Amerks) this fall.
Maybe somebody else who is more familiar with the prospects' eligibility could chime in?

Were there any Armia sightings?
He had his moments - skated well and seems to read plays well - but it looked to me like he may have been a little... not intimidated, but maybe almost overwhelmed by some of the physical play. He reminded me of D Roy occasionally - just kind of floating at times.
Given his overall lack of familiarity with the N American game, I'm not going to panic or fret much about it. It'd only make me nervous if he's playing the same way a year from now...

Stream is back on!

Make no mistake - they're hitting. Zemgus just blew up Reinhart. Hey ZG.... Eeeeeeeasy.

Not a big fan of the Sabres' website but I'm on there now looking for the live stream link. Do any of you guys have the URL?
EDIT: Never mind, I found it: http://video.sabres.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=1

(I think this is our first time back there without my Father...so this could be a little emotional, I've never been without him.)
Understandable if you get a little emotional but I'm jealous you get to go. Have fun!

I get sick of hearing Darcy 'lucked into it'. Guess what, every team that is successful benefitted by luck at some point. Can't the guy get some credit?
I give him credit for being a very shrewd trader. While there were some guys he brought in at the deadline that didn't pan out as well we all hoped, he usually got really good value for the players he shipped out.

Manziel and Lebron...Cleveland just went from total anonymity to the center of the media universe for NFL and NBA ESPN
Fixed.

I'm excited that after a day or two of "analysis" I won't hear as much about him or the NBA.
-
It would be a good addition to the collection...

Specials today 7-11-14 at the, 10am-5pm. Buy a French Connection puck for just $2.50! -
I hope GMTM's uncle comes though this okay.
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 24m
My thoughts are with OTT GM Bryan Murray, who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Bryan is one of the really good men in this game.
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 21m
I'd urge Bryan to fight hard but that goes without saying for a member of the Murray clan of Shawville, Que.

I like the signing also - and so does ol' number 74:
For @BuffaloSabres and @AmerksHockey fans. I paired up with @tstracks in St. Louis and loved him as a D partner. Good signing. #steadysolid

If i'm George MacPhee II - can't remember his name - I move Ovechkin. Both team and player have grown stale with each other.
When Ovechkin is on his game I don't think there's a better player in the league, I agree both sides would likely benefit from a change but his contract and mercurial nature might make moving him a challenge: he'll be 36 when it ends in 7 years and has a cap hit north of 9.5MM per.

Ass kickers and power forwards.
Isn't that a ZZ Top song?

Not sense IMO. Hodgson is a smart player. Recovery speed is his liability.
I would add his lack of situational awareness in the defensive zone is also a liability. In fact, I think that's the reason he's usually late getting to the right spot, be it to play the puck or get in a passing or shooting lane.
I've been a CoHo supporter/defender/advocate, but he needs that component of his game to improve IMO. Whether it does - or whether it can - I don't know. But more of the same and I don't see him being here too much longer.
Just my 2¢...

Steve Downie to PIT. 1year, $1M.
I think this every year at this time but man, it has got to be weird signing with a team that just a couple of months before you hated.
-
What did Giroux say when he grabbed the buttocks of the male police officer?
"I like the new costume Roysie."
-
Yeah I know the terms, I guess I was just filling in the blank with something positive instead of negative.
I hear ya - maybe that mnemonic device will help somebody else keep them straight.
Either way, it was a day of highs (GMTM) and lows (Kiko then RJ) for Bflo fans. Hopefully the lows turn themselves around in short order!

Crap I totally mixed that up. :cry:
Learned this back in high school when my mom was sick:
Malignant = Mean
Benign = Better
-
If a teams GM is talking about needing another center, are they going to unload the best one they have?
Oh... that Murray said it... My bad.
But I'd still love to see Turris in blue and gold one day!
-
Kyle Turris would be awesome but I'm not so sure Ottawa will be too eager to part with him...

@HF: I asked Kris Baker, the guy from SabresProspects.com, who might end up in Elmira and he said he expects Jacobs and Hackett (when he returns from his injury) to end up down there.
