Leafs forgot that tanking doesn't work in the preseason.

He was. http://sabres.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=679827 Bonus: here's a clip from Ted from an email exchange I had with him around that time, re: broadcasts.

I think he'd benefit more from being up all year long. I believe he's mentally and physically ready to take on the challenges that playing in the NHL would bring. I think he benefits much less from refining his AHL-level game.

Oh, he has ties to Buffalo, but they're not good ones.

Eichel to ReinhartSCOOORRRRRRRRRESSS This is a nice thing. I also like how Dan has been settling in. Duffer, of course, has been killing it- even did a great job for NHLN at the AAP game.

Good for the league. Bad for the Beauts. Net positive. Excellent. A standout at Minnesota as WCHA Defensive POTY, finalist for the Kazmaier, and member of Team USA. I like where this is going.

Who stole the rubbers from the evidence jar? Patty stole the rubbers from the evidence jar. Who, me? Yes, you! Couldn't be! Then who?

Well, now this is happening.

What face?

Compared to some of the cloth debacles we've endured over the years, I'm mostly happy with where we're at now. We've got blue and gold, we've got an update of the original crest, we've got a nod to the belt striping we used to have without looking like a diaper, and both home and away jerseys look good. But I think with the brand new era of hockey we're about to experience, combined with the inevitable jersey redesigns coming with Adidas, there's an opportunity to grab the brass ring and make a truly timeless classic. Elements for improvement: Colors: The turn towards navy was a fashion-related design choice to attempt to make the jersey have more mass appeal (the same thing is done with cars: mute the colors so that they don't turn anyone off from buying). We don't need that. Buffalo has proven that it will support a good-looking jersey with league-high sales. Keep the bright colors in the game and bring back navy blue. It'll be a symbol of our bright new future. Striping: Bring back the pure yellow triple stripe on the arms and belt, and, if we're going big, bring back the triple-triple socks. At the very least, bring back the double-triple striped socks. Notice that there's very little white on the classics (only Buffalo, swords, and number outlines are white on the classics), and the result is a beautiful, brilliant contrast. Don't mute with grey or excess white. In fact, fashion tip: grey should never touch yellow, that's gross. Other bits: no piping. None. Keep the classic look. For instance, examine the following picture. Then mentally transplant the updated logo from the jerseys on the left onto the jersey on the right. Gorgeous. Even better when you go from double-double stripes to triple stripes.

Home Depot really needs to sell you some .

In the same vein, I'll fire up this throwback.

Almost by definition, that makes your accuser a complete and utter asshat.

Haha, found this randomly:

Wang has been trying to sell the team (and doing a nearly criminally poor job at it). I think he has been staying out of the roster management lately. His negative influence shouldn't be underestimated.

The Ohio of states.

Management, amirite?

Kane and Lehner are reportedly healthy.

Or, if you could post/link any presentation materials that they make digitally available, that might make for good reading.

Should... should we throw an offer sheet at Huberdeau? $3.6M-$5.4M/year would cost us a first and third. We have $10M in cap space. His player fancy stats are legit; he was the 3rd overall in 2011. Perfect age for our group. He's their top LW, which makes a division opponent weaker AND stacks our left side (Kane, Moulson), almost forming three scoring lines (with O'Reilly, Eichel, Samson, Girgensons, Ennis, etc, excluding that pesky RW depth).
