Are we only allowed to bet on Sabres games? Or all NHL games this week?

Agree, normally in his situation you're talking about a break, not a sprain. The boot is extremely stiff so if you bend your leg back that way it puts tremendous pressure on the small bones of the leg above the ankle.

He clearly reaches for his ankle not his knee. Hopefully nothing broke, but damn it looks bad.

looking purely career goals scored, Matt Moulson by a mile

I'll bet 3 chips Buffalo covers the over. wooooooo... this is fun! (pm me for free gambling advice)

6-year bridge?

Actually, you could've got Stoner for nothing... he cleared waivers last thurs.

what!? no partial credit? http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/24159-ristolainen-signed-6yrs-54mil-per/?view=findpost&p=865818 "GMTM still hasn't offered a bridge deal yet.

In - Grant, Fasching, Nelson Out - Nylander, Guhle (WHL), Baptiste, Catenacci, Falk

haha originally i said 5 @ 5.5, but would also accept 6 yrs. tho i really thought this would end in a bridge, the further along it went. I'm wondering if Risto finally came to his senses and took the deal he was offered, or if GMTM caved on term. maybe only 1? an "accrued season" is defined as being on the active roster for 40 NHL games, he only played 34 his first year, not sure how many we was on the active roster for tho.

I wouldnt go that far.. Myers deal was for 7 years at 5.5 AAV, whcih was a much bigger cap% 5 years ago.

IMO it's a little on the long side, but the AAV is decent. Let's hope he keeps working to develop into a true first pairing defenseman. I, for one, expect him to be a plus player this season... if he's not I will be disappointed.

This.

The glasses make it work.

6 years 5.4 per

@BuffNewsVogl: Tim Murray confirms the Sabres and Rasmus Ristolainen have come to terms on a new contract.

I don't understand it at all. Therefore, I am in.

Exactly. GMTM holds all the cards, he just letting it play out.

Gaudreau signs 6.75/6. Great deal for CGY.

Moulson 30g. no excuses.

A rainbow happy future is all we can really hope for... right? We shouldn't stop trying just because it's unattainable... after all... perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. IMO, a good first step would be to eliminate the "women's sports" nomenclature. Change the name to something non-gender specific.... "alternate 100m relay" for example.... instead of the " women's 100m relay". At the same time enforce strict hormone guidelines... allowing athletes to compete in whatever competition they'd like as long as their naturally occurring hormone levels are within bounds. Maybe even have a third category for those using synthetic hormones.

I disagree. We don't segregate athletes based on size of body parts. We DO segregate athletes based on sex, because humans with higher testosterone levels have an advantage in most athletic competitions. Phelps, Bolt, Ledecky, etc.. are naturally physically gifted, but they fall under either man or woman. That said, if you want to be completely fair to everybody, eliminate all women's sports... across all competitions. Let all humans compete in their natural state against all other humans. Otherwise you absolutely need to have a line drawn between what is a man and what is a woman... and IMO that line should be the same for all competitors.... we should not let athletes dictate where to draw the line for themselves.

Yes, both have an advantage, and it's not their fault... that we can agree upon. However, Shaq is not trying to compete in a league for short people only, there are no height limitations in competitive basketball. The woman with high testosterone (eg, tall person in the example i gave above) is competing in a women's only (eg, short people) league.... which, to me, seems unfair to women with normal hormone levels.... and it encourages doping to compete against the testosterone advantaged. I'd like to clarify, I don't have an opinion on the right way to handle these cases because I don't know enough about it.... which is why I'm bringing it up. I respect folks to identify however they want, but when it comes to competitive sports with money, sponsorships, livelihoods on the line, there has to be some rules in place to prevent a "man" from competing as a woman.

That's.... unusual? It sounds like he got in a fight? Otherwise, why would the keep it in house?
