If Dahlin does okay in the left right side, that could be a very strong first pairing.

I like the Joki pairing actually. At least give it a look. Not sure Butcher-Fitz is a strong enough pairing. I think they're both complementary Dmen, neither is a pair leader. I think.

So you're saying he'll be the perfect goalie for the Sabres?

Would Asplund in for Eakin be an upgrade?

He just meant he doesn't dip in blue cheese or ranch. Don't read too much into it. Now if he'd said ranch.....

Thanks for taking the hit for the rest of us. We are thankful for your service.

Any noteworthy excerpts to tantalize us with?

That's not in Buffalo. That was the pre-game skate in Tampa.

There have been several games in the recent points streak where the team was above 50% as a whole, and each of the designated centers were 50% or better (with winger fill-ins like Okie and Skinner were sub-50%).

I think Quinn will be an immediate contributor, especially if he's deployed properly (scoring punch in the bottom six to put him against lesser competition). I think Tage/Skinner remain part of our top line, maybe Tuch stays with them, maybe not. They need the second line to be a scoring threat as well; we'll see how that pans out. Mitts/Olofsson/Asplund? Something like that, if successful, will help shield Quinn and increase his chance at success. I expect Power to be somewhat shielded too, maybe Dahlin on the first pair, Muel eating minutes on the second pair, and Power being somewhat protected so he can be set up for success.

Eh. Kevyn is a bit of a poker player. If he shows his hand and admits we need goalie help bad, it will jack up the price on any goalie deal. I expect a hockey trade in the off-season that includes a salary dump of a goalie that's not too bad and has some miles in the tank... an overpaid "throw-in" that another team is ready to move on from but will be an upgrade to us.

Fortunately I live in Texas Rangers territory (not that it helped me the last couple of days...)

That's the difference. No, we're not bad again. Any day is a bad day to not have liquor in the house.

Bryson is the only player with any jump today.

Wake up, Craig. Know where the puck is.

That's absurd.

Go on. You're making that up.

I have no idea what that means.

I don't care.

Wherever. I don't want to know where it is; I just want Bjork and Eakin gone. On a Sunday?

Can we hide Bjork in the same closet they "lost" Eakin in?

Well *****.

These people are ruthless. (Wait... her name isn't Ruth, is it?)

Makes sense. Krebs backchecks like a fiend.
