I expect call ups after the All-Star break. Nylander first, then Aslpund maybe Olofsson for the last dozen games or so. Maybe even guys like Malone who they seem to be developing into a checking type center might help the bottom 6... But not until late in the season if the playoffs are out of reach.

Not a chance. Maybe a first in 2020. He's a rental.

They are who we thought they were.

He was on the ice looking good against the Islanders too.

Hutton must be pissed.

Typical vegetarian.

This has the feeling of an important game, a crossroads, if you will, not necessarily a do or die since we're only at the halfway point of the season, but an important game for me as a fan, psychologically speaking, where a win will go a long way in restoring some faith I've lost in this club over the past 3 weeks, while a loss would cement the idea that this team still has a long ways to go.

Call up Nylander, he's earned a look. That or trade him as part of a larger package for Tarasenko or Duchene. Or leave him where he is and see if he can find some consistentency before calling him up.

I'll allow it.

They need to start buliding rectractable roof hockey arenas.

Why 10 votes/day tho?

It's called a "stick press", but KO got too close to the hands. If he comes down hard on the shaft closer to the blade then he's fine, but he starts up at the hands... right call. I had no problem with any of the calls.

Point probably dropped to the third because of his size, 5'9 at the time.... and he was on a very very bad team, a huge minus player. He's a pending RFA, and TBL will have just over $6m in cap space with more than a handful of roster spots to fill. Offer sheet?

Did not like Rodrigues between Skinner/Reinhart. That line was pinned in their own end on quite a few occasions. Rodrigues just doesn't have the strength to win any pucks down low. If I'm Housley I move Reinhart to center on that line and promote somebody like Sheary who's been snakebit.

TBL are on another level. It's like they belong in a league of their own.

Hutton

Much needed win. Luongo sucked and they did just enough. Didn't they just play in Boston? Who makes this schedule, bunch of clowns.

Maybe it's just me, but I've liked MIttlestadt's game recently (vs beginning of season). He seems to be coming on, he gets chances... they'll start going in soon. Still overpasses tho, trying to thread the needle to much, but he'll figure it out.

Let the record show that Buffalo is officially no longer a threat to make the playoffs this season.

Seems like we're back to the bad hockey part. 26th in shots against per game. I thought Steve Smith was supposed to fix that?

I missed the NYI game, how did he look in limited action?

So what exactly is the injury?

Jury.... still out.

Points in 6 of the last 10 games.... could be worse.
