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?

I can’t believe people still get worked up about people who get worked up about who makes an all-star game.

Young group, lacks depth, playing a condensed schedule the last half of the season... yeah, I don't expect much. "There's an old saying in Tennessee... "

Sad to hear. Get well soon Murph!

Let's be real... we're 6 points out of wildcard sport, in January. Sure t's a nice improvement from years past, but we're not in a playoff race. Let's not kid ourselves, this team is young and as the calendar turns from Januaray to February and March, veteran teams will step up their games. At that same time I fully expect Buffalo to slow down a bit as the kids slowly run out of gas... and that's OK... they're on the right track to compete for a wildcard spot next season.

Everybody gets a trophy.

Sure UPL is 6-1 over the past 30 days, but Anderson has a much better sv% and GAA over that span. Send UPL down when Comrie is ready.
