If we win this game: Our chances of picking 1st overall drop from 18% to 10.5%. Our chances of picking in the top two drop from from 30.4% to 20.9%. Our chances of picking in the top three drop from 48.1% to 31.2%. Our chances of picking in the top four drop from 100% to 43.4%. Just sayin'.

If I lived in town, I would go regularly. I loved going to women's college hockey games, and I'm excited that there's an startup women's pro league. If the league can keep it's financial together, it has the ability to really grow the sport.

Like your user account. Or your voter registration.

DO EET! Ah, there it is.

One streak = streaky.

Must win.

They're talking about you boy, but you're still the same.

13 points in 44 games then (starting January 18) 23 points in 22 games.

It can be rationalized all day long. And I'm not even really mad at Botterill, because I do understand the rationale. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed about the fact we got dick for a 30 goal scorer who performed among the best players on the team. I think it comes down to bad timing on Botterill's part on two counts. First, and not his fault, the timing of his arrival with regard to Kane's term. Botterill wanted to do a wait and see on all the players, so it wouldn't make sense to jump the gun and re-sign Kane right away. But he couldn't get much return for a player with no term when didn't like what he found. He could have done a sign and trade, but that carries hefty risk. Second, he didn't pull the trigger when he was offered a first last week. He had been shopping Kane for a while, and if he wasn't familiar enough with the market for Kane to know when to bite, that's on him. Maybe that team pulled the rug out from under him and gave the wrong/no impression of soft deadline, but the return was available at some point.

Harrington punctuated the disagreement in his article today. http://buffalonews.com/2018/02/27/sabres-notebook-e-rod-bullish-on-oregan-lehner-rebukes-blogger-frantic-kane-makes-sharks-debut/ He didn't have to vent on Twitter, but I think he closed the issue. Journalists earn and keep access. Even in today's twittersphere, non-journalists should still be vetted before being relied on.

Baby Okposo naming contest! My entry, for you Zep fans: Zoso Okposo

Ha. At least 75% of the board after this trade:

But the real question is: was this a planned tank move nine months ago? Was the fix always in the whole season? Also, congratulations to the Okposos on their #3.

I do too. Talking with the family members of the players is always kind of a fun experience. I happened to be sitting near Ingrid Satan one night and had a nice conversation with her. Miro actually scored a hat trick that night, so instead of throwing my hat onto the ice, I handed it directly to her. She was giddy about how happy he would be after the game.

Good data. But when I read this. it sounds like Cody Hodgson. Hodgson had #2 center potential and failed. I believe O'Regan presents a lesser opportunity/chance to have success as a #2 center. Hopefully O'Regan's work/compete is higher and his confidence is less fragile.

Win the cup then go 31st in 2018-19, then not win the 2019 lottery.

It's Christmas morning for Sharks fans.

Only a 30-40% chance they even get to 100 games.

Dillon and/or Braun + picks. Maybe eat Paul Martin's salary.

Yeah, but this time around, it's a little more entertaining because we pretty much know Kane is moving out, teams are interested, and the market is high. It's the days when we have nothing but scrubs to move that get the most stale.

Meh Reilly. Sheltered by the Wild, didn't play great, despite being a baller for the Gophers. Former 4th round pick by CBJ. Pick him up and do a wait and see with him in Rochester.

That came from Mike Straw; Wawrow and Harrington are refuting that. https://twitter.com/ByMHarrington/status/968161201141231624

All of those D you mention are LD, which pair nicely with Risto. And are worth nefarious acts to secure.
