nice video... the church of moulson approves!

If Buffalo somehow manages only 1 goal tonight, this board will implode.

Put the leading scorer on the 4th line? Shame on you! I'd go... 26-15-23 48-90-21 9-22-82 28-27-12

In the Sabres lockeroom... ReinO = Reinhart Snook = O'Reilly ...right?

He doesnt have any particular skill that jumps out at you, other than maybe his skating which he uses very effectively to create the majority of his chances which come in tight so he doesn't need to rely on his average shooting ability. I'm not saying he has no chance, but I'll be mildly surprised if he pans out into a quality player at the NHL level, which I hope he does and it's nice see him showing up regularly on the high flying London Kinghts scoresheet.

Skinny, fragile, subpar hockey IQ, below average shot velocity, poor face-off skills, average puck handling skills..... Look, I like him as a prospect, he was a good pick in the 3rd round as he's an above average skater with excellent speed and agility. Statistically he's reaping the benefits of getting plenty of ice time on a top junior team. If he can round out his game he has as good a chance as any other 3rd rounder, but there's a lot of areas he needs to improve on before we should even consider putting him in a Sabres sweater.

The higher up the ranks to you get in hockey, the less of the rah rah type speeches you hear from coaches. If you've reached the NHL level it's because you're extremely self-motivated. The pre-game stuff is very technical, systems are discussed, video review... it's all very cerebral.

Both Pegula franchises have a poor track record when it comes to clearing their respective athletes of injury. You would think both teams would have the best training staff and medical professionals available, but recent history would suggest otherwise.

Are they allowed to be sent back? I guess they would have to be... or is there some number of games where their rookie deal kicks in as under normal conditions?

Bylsma is a slave to the lack of secondary scoring on this team.

That's a fair arguement.

What exactly constitutes an emergency, and has it ever been done?

Eichel is more powerful, but McDavid has quickness and suddenness the game simply has never seen before.

It's not allowed. He can come up only after his junior season is over. That said Pu is a nice prospect, but I don't see him as a future NHL player.... maybe a depth guy but nothing more.

You can absolutely put a different goalie in for shootouts. Buffalo did it with Ryan Miller a few times because he has such a good shootout record. Makes you wonder if there will ever be a shootout specialist goalie who only ever practices shootouts etc. Hockey's version of a closer if you will.

If they get Eichel back and still struggle to score then let the countdown begin. IMO they'll break out of this scoring funk when he returns to the lineup. Sure, he's one guy, but on this team he's so much better than the 3rd center that he really does make that much difference.

RAV - Roy, Afinogenov, Vanek line that lit up the scoreboard in 06-07 I think or the year before... anyway it was I think our second or third line that showed so much promise only to be dismantled by Lindy being Lindy.

understood

Im gonna be traveling tomorrow so I'm going 10 units on the Caps whatever the line is. $2150 10 units Caps
