Some kid named Hinostroza scored the game winner for Roch tonight. He might be a good one.

Still think he should be a regular in Buffalo. IMO he brings more to yhe table than guys like Girgensons and Mittlestadt... and if we're talking straight up on ice contribution then throw Okposo in their too. I thought he'd be a perfect linemate for Krebs, both can skate would put the defense on their heels. Whatever Kevyn.

If I'm Comrie I'm ***** pissed. He's been nothing but a good soldier, accepting a "conditioning" assignment to Roch due to KA's roster gymnastics. Now he's back (presumably 100% healthy) and isn't playing. He was brought in to compete for the starting spot, secondarily as a bridge between Anderson and UPL/Levi... however, through no fault of his own, that bridge has crumbled. His GAA/Sv% are nearly identical to UPL, he just hasn't had the same run support. That's not on him. He deserves a couple starts here.

I hesitate to categorize this as must win. That said I will begrudgingly accept whatever the outcome may be.

Sounds like Terry's wallet remains focused on the Bills.

Dallas coming off back-to-back shutouts of Arizona and LA haven't allowed a goal in over 120min. That said, they've given up +30 shots in each game, so hopefully thier luck runs out tonight.

Bryson and Lyubushkin need to be upgraded. I'd move Jokiharju if the price was right. Okposo and Girgensons to a contender. And during the offseason I'd put together a package of Thompson, Power plus for Bedard.

The All-Star game is a complete joke. Go back to 5-on-5, East v West. Winner gets home ice advantage in the Cup Final. Let the fans vote for 5 players + 1 goalie each side, the remaining players selected by the press. Make the game no-check; let them wheel around like beer league.

Shoulda won in regulation, had plenty of opportunities. Could be an important point against a team ahead of them in the standings. Do better.

They're retiring his number?! Wow, OK. He had 2 very good seasons with Buffalo. Went 15W-22L his final season with the Sabres. Played half of his career elsewhere. Never made it to the Cup Finals. Won a single Vezina Trophy. That's quite the low bar to have your number retired. I don't get it.

Does Ryan Miller deserve his own special night? Great dude, average goalie IMO. I'll alllow it.

He's definitely getting picked up. I'll guess Florida, Arizona, Chicago, Winnipeg, NYI, NYR, Caps, Kings, Stars, Hurricanes, Kraken, Wild, Toronto, Tampa, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Ducks, Avalanche, Calgary, Detroit, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Philly or Edmonton.

Ugh, a financial guy? Bad sign... typically they bring these guys in when they're preparing the team to be sold. Hope that's not the case here.

Ideally he wins it cleanly back. But again that depends largely on where the draw is, game situation, who's on the ice, etc... lots of factors. But the end game is to gain possession.

Has nothing to do with change of possession. Body checking a player with intent... the puck could be gone and you finish the check.. that's a hit. That said, it has to meet some subjective level of intensity.

The team that gains possession.

It's a loophole in the CBA a short cut to UFA. The player shouldn't get to choose who he plays for considering the drafting team invests significant resources towards his development. Don't force them to sign, put them back in the draft. Problem. Solved. Period.

Who cares how good he is or how many quality goalies went this route. That has nothing to do with anything. It's a cheat code to get UFA status, needs to be fixed.

I like the moves.... back-end looks solid now. Could be thee lineup going foward for the foreseeable future.... barring injuries.

Goalies take longer to develop.... so why would they leave school to play in the AHL for 3 or 4 years when they could spend that time on campus with their buddies getting a degree? They should be forced to go back into the draft instead of becoming an UFA.

It's unfortunate if he leaves as an UFA, however I don't blame the player... the system is flawed; this loophole needs to be addressed in the next CBA. He looks at guys like UPL, Comrie and Levi as standing in his way. He's a smart kid who's simply looking for a spot that provides the best opportunity for him to play and develop.

Moist wallpaper might weigh more with moldy warm mustard while masculine women masterrbate wildly.

Sink or swim time for Comrie.

Tonight begins a stretch of 12 games in 20 days. Will the young guns hold up?
