O'Reilly

What has he done to not be fired?

What is Housley doing? He clearly does not know how to get through to these guys. I don't think the players respect him... it's obvious by their play.

He's a pending RFA tho, not UFA. I'd expect him to be around and battle Ullmark for the #1 spot. ...and who's fault is that? What is the one thing in common between the goalie, the defense, and the forwards?

makes perfect sense

It's Nicholas Baptiste showcase showdown! ...I bid one dollar, Bob.

why not Carlos Javier Smith?

This.

This.

He too aggressive, he attacks the puck; and the league knows this.

To unload that contract, BUF should be giving up a 4th as well.

I thought they played pretty good tonight. 2 bonehead plays by McCabe, 1 by Nelson, and 2 by Lehner. McCabe seems to be getting worse and worse by the game. Thought Housley would help his development... is there any player you can look at and say they've improved under Housley?

I have a bad feeling about this game, like something bad is going to happen.

The infection is spreading.

The only chance they have of getting Tavares is through a blockbuster trade.

At this point I'm numb to any potential deal... for anybody on the roster. I still believe that coaching is the issue, not the players. So any deal now for a top player will be a mistake IMO as their return will be low compared to what they're capable of under a normal work environment.

1 - Eichel, Reinhart, Kane, Bogo 2 - ROR, Okposo, Gorges, Pominville 3 - Larsson, Risto, Lehner, Josefson 4 - Girgensons, Scandella, McCabe, Nolan 5 - Hamilton, Batista, Brandon 6 - Vinz

he's just not good enough, it happens.

bologna... leads by example, well liked in the locker room, plays a strong two way game.

Their 3 best prospects are playing in the NHL... Eichel, Ristolainen, Reinhart. Rodrigues belongs in Roch which would significantly contribute to their prospect points.

no

The hate for GMTM grows with ever passing day. I, for one, liked just about all his moves, they made sense at the time and just about everybody here was on board. The team improved by over 20 points in Bylsma's first year, regressed by a handful of points the next year without Eichel for the first half of the season... then Pegula blew it up. Now we have a first year head coach who is having trouble getting a consistent effort from his team and all everybody wants to do here is lambast Tim Murray.

All NHL rinks are required to be 200x85. Olympic sheets are 200x100. I think the length is fine, but with bigger faster players they should go a little wider, something like 200x93. Would make breakouts and zone entries easier, making it tougher to defend a wider area.
