You never like to see injuries, but if I'm GMTM I tell the troops to take pucks hard to the net and run over Halak every chance they get on Sunday.

The Canadian accent drives me nuts. Buffalo is not a canadian team.... and his "Scoooorressss" is like nails on a chalk board. Luckily I live out of town with center ice I watch the opposition broadcast unless RJ is on.
-
I like it. I'm not a fan of Doc Emrick. Would be nice to listen to Barry Melrose and Jojn Buccigross again.

Trading Myers is a step in the wrong direction. Don't do it!

<carrion speak="off"> The month of Feb will require a strong stomach as EDM is on the road for 6 straight and BUF has 8 home games against some weaker opponents. in March (post trade deadline) EDM has a 6 game homestand while BUF plays only 4 at home, and ARI plays 10 of 14 at home. If all goes according to plan, we'll have The Shart locked up by the time we have our home and home vs ARI. </carrion>

We're on our way there. If anybody thinks this is bad, wait until after the trade deadline passes and they play 9 of 13 on the road in March. There are some lose-able games in Feb (PHI twice, NJD, CBJ, OTT). March is when the magic will happen... two games against ARI late in the month will be epic... assuming we're all still relatively sane at that point.
-
The team with the worst goal diff has finished last 15 of the last 16 years. BUF is -85, 30 goals worse than the next team ARI. Combine that fact with our historically inept advanced stats, and it's almost an impossibility that BUF doesn't finish in last place. IMO the gap will only widden after the trade deadline.
-
14 game winning streak. It's a beautiful thing. Feb will be a tough month, but if they hit the trade deadline with a lead ain't nobody gonna catch them.

is the Marriott open yet? i'm seriously considering a family vacation there later in the year.
-
Connor McDavid and the Erie Otters faceoff against Kingston on the NHL Network tonight at 7pm ET.... followed by BUF/VAN at 10p ET. What are they trying say by stacking those games back to back?
-
Next 5 VAN, MTL, STL, DAL, OTT. The only team I see them having a prayer against is OTT.

gimongous
-
! There's that late goal.
-
Never underestimate the power of the Shart!
-
EDM has a habit of giving up goals late in the third. I'd feel much more comfortable if they had a 2 goal lead right now. Edit: wooohhh!
-
What if Eichel pulls a Lindros and says he'll return to college if Buffalo selects him? It's not out of the realm of possibility. His family being huge Bruins fans, maybe he wants to stay in Boston.... and then GMTM has a long conversation with Jeremy Jacobs over a couple of Ribeye's at Olivers (i used to work there and saw a lot of JJ). Would you trade that pick for some kind of combination of picks, prospects, Rask, Pastrnak, and Hamilton?
-
haha, yeah i knew what you meant. Yeah those are one point games... the team that "wins" in OT gets a single point, so yeah we want TOR to "win" in OT so they only get a single point and ARI gets 0 points for the OT "loss" - * * - had re-read that a dozen times
-
ummm you mean you want Leafs OT win right?
-
fixed... Want Buffalo to Win REALLY want to Toronto to win
-
at first I was like... then I was like...

a few more motivational quotes for the big game against EDM.... these seemed to work last time around: “You miss 100 percent of the shots you take.” Wayne Gretzky "Always give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to defeat.” Jim Valvano “Failure is the gradual result of always striving to do worse.” Pat Riley "Set your goals low, and stop when you get there." Bo Jackson "Keep your eyes on the ground, and your feet on the ground." Theodore Roosevelt "Failure is simple. Do what's wrong, the wrong way, at the wrong time." Arnold H. Glasow "Failure comes from knowing that you did your best to become the worst that you are capable of becoming." John Wooden

Who are the CHL all-stars? Team Meszaros vs Team Hall?
-
Gionta not ready?
-
GMTM has cap space (and pegula-bucks) to eat a large portion of Richards contract.... and/or take on a bad contract from another team. LA doesn't have the cap room to make those moves. That said, it only makes sense if you can get something worthwhile in return... a 2nd round pick or prospect and a bad contract?
-
GMTM should pick him up, then flip him at the deadline for picks, eating a large portion of his contract with Pegula-bucks and/or by taking on a bad contract from another team. Teams like VAN and NSH need more depth at C for a playoff run.
