Juniors is perfect for an 18-19 year old. The AHL is for grown men, if they start adding these undersized kids to the AHL, you're going to see the number of injuries go up. It's a very physical league played by strong men, not kids. Once the kid starts to get some man strength at 20-21, they yeah, send him to the AHL.

...so do any Sabres make the team? Or does the league intentionally snub them? Ennis maybe?

was looking at Carolina's schedule..... They've played their previous 5 games on the road. 6 of their first 8 games have been on the road. They finish the season with 15 games in March, 11 of them at home.... could see them plummet down the CHL standings late in the year. To compare, BUF will play 13 games in March only 4 of those at home.

With Staal back in the lineup they outshot VAN 30-25 a couple nights ago, but still won. Their shots for/against pct ranks 18th in the NHL... http://stats.hockeya...CT&sortdir=DESC CAR is primed to rack up some loses here as Buffalo runs away with the CHL.
-
maybe VAN will give us Kassian back for Hodgson? Hodgson is an integral part of the tank, a -7 through 10 games, on pace to finish with a -60. noice

Myers is playing great. He plays almost 30min a game and is only a -1 on team that's collectively a -22. On the otherhand, Mezaros is already a -10 in 9 games. WTF is he doing here? He's on pace to finish -90. -
At what point does TM fire Nolan? Or does he get a pay raise?
-
Carolina is a much worse team than Buffalo. They just have had a lot of puck luck early in the season and with Staal back they'll be even worse going forward. They outshot Van tonight and their last game. They'll string a couple loses together here soon as Buffalo stakes its claim to CHL dominance.
-
I'm calling a 37-2 Ducks victory tonight. 85 shots on goal in the first period.
-
Apparently Benoit, Mezaros and Weber have earned ice time. Replace those 3 with McCabe, Pysyk and Zadorov... instant upgrade, but we don't want that. Keep the tank rolling in the right direction.
-
This is the best team I've seen in the CHL in the last 10 years. I would be shocked if we didn't witness a wire to wire championship season out of this glorious group of sucktards.
-
After perusing this thread I've come to a single logical conclusion... and that is he needs to stay in the NHL and play. Next season they can send him to Rochester if he still needs polish. Nolan says they've been working him hard in practice to point where he's getting mad because of all the conditioning drills they're putting him through. I would expect to see him play at some point on this road trip... wether that's due to injury or suckitude, we'll see him play here soon.

The Golden Sieve is awarded annually to the Carrion Hockey League's (CHL) goaltender who is "adjudged to be the best at this position".[1] At the end of each season, the thirty CHL general managers vote to determine the winner. It is named in honour of Georges Sieve, who died in 1926 of tuberculosis. The Trophy was first awarded after the 1926–27 CHL season and was awarded to the top goaltender.

everything he said isn't untrue

the lady bung golden sieve
-
Don't forget that Benoit and Mezaros are on 1 year deals. If Mezaros can turn his game round TM could get a nice return for him at the deadline.

Who is the goalie when this team makes a run?

ahhh, well then it all kind of makes sense then. don't like that rule tho, what's the difference if the 9 game tryout is at the beginning of the season or mid-season? would make it more of a strategic decision to call guys up for their tryout after they've had some time to develop a bit more. anyway, something has to give soon.
-
hahahaha that was great. is the game really on nbcsn? tune in to find out what happens when a stoppable force meets a movable object
-
Still doesn't makes sense to me. Why not have him play in London until you wave somebody, then call him up for his 9 game tryout or whatever. Certainly beats not playing at all. He hasn't played competitive at all yet this season and it's mid-October. He's a 19-yo kid who needs to develop his game, not sit and watch. I wish a reporter would ask Nolan or Murray what's going on.
-
...Nikita Zadorov continues to be a healthy scratch. Wonder what Nolan/Murray are thinking here, I don't get it he's only 19 and needs to work on his game. Send him down to London for big minutes or put him in the lineup, sitting in the press box is hurting his development. Seems like Grigorenko syndrome all over again.
-
LOVE THIS Nolan is a key piece. He has absolutely zero chance of being fired this season. They could go 0-82 and he'd be safe. Top down the organization has been setup to lose games this season, seems the players have already quit, which probably wasn't supposed to happen 3 games into the season... but whatever. In 3 years there might only be 2 or 3 players still around from the current roster... no big deal. It's always darkest before the dawn.
-
Disagree. Too many open looks, guys standing around watching the puck instead of tying up sticks. It was a mess, and Columbus took advantage of it. Score should have been a lot worse.
-
I'm starting to think Ted Nolan was put in place to help with the tank. Their deficiencies in their own zone have nothing to do with talent or effort. If you watch closely, all 5 players stand in a defined area and just watch the puck as it travels around the zone. The way they set up looks like a penalty kill with the center occupying the center of the ice. That's a coaching issue, not a talent issue. So what does Ted Nolan say after the game? Does he think they need to work on their D-zone? No. He plays it off as there being too much hype for the game and they had jitters. Nice. That said, I expect this to continue for 2 more seasons, then a move will be made. I'm sure Murray has his own guy in waiting, just isn't the right time yet. Tank On.

Trade Ristolainen before he becomes the next Kalinin... I have yet to see what all the hype about this kid is. Myers is pure beast and he's young with a favorable cap number. I wouldn't move him unless the return is substantial.. top 10 pick or similar.
