Yup, the only way I'd even consider giving up the pick is if it drops to 6th.

They have 3 games left to clinch their spot. Wonder if they send Ristolainen down to help.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed watching this. I wish more games were this fun. Oh, and Leino gave us the perfect ending to this season. Brutal.

Nice job by Des.

The crowd going nuts for Leino.... LOL.

Great work by Ellis and Foligno on that goal.

Love that all the Islanders tough guys have blast shields. :rolleyes:

He's here! He's HERE!!!1! Everyone look busy!

So why bring him up? If he needs rest, why make him travel to Buffalo for today's game at all? Hang on, I'm changing my mind mid-post -- if the Amerks were driving back from the game in Hamilton yesterday and this is just Makarov stopping for an extra day in Buffalo, I guess it's a nice treat for him to hang out in the NHL for an afternoon. OK, this isn't much of a WTF anymore.

In a season of WTFs, this is another giant WTF. WTF???

Hopefully whichever fan is lucky enough to get Makarov's jersey from his first NHL game is willing to give it back to him (probably in exchange for some other Sabres gear).

The hockey is going to be bad, but this uniform match-up is still off the hook.

Sabres MVP = 26CornerBlitz

BUMP. Just a reminder that the Golden Gophers are playing for the NCAA Championship on ESPN one hour from now. We can cheer for a team that's actually good!

Damn. If irony was strawberries, we'd all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now.

Yeah. sure. Thanks for the expert level "Everyone that isn't the Sabres is awesome" trolling. Back to 2014 NHL Draft talk.......

And this debate is over. Back to 2014 NHL Draft talk........

We're all out of goalies now, so let's go ahead and sit McBain tomorrow.

Could this be a compound fracture? I've never seen so many guys out there for a leg injury. Geez.

That was nothing like Campbell's hit on Umberger though. Campbell drilled Umberger with his shoulder and he was out before he even hit the ice. McCabe stood him up (good play) and it looked like Paille hit his jaw on McCabe's shoulder pad and possibly again when he hit the ice. Classy Boston fans cheering Hackett being hurt now. #BostonStrong

Is there such a thing as an *Interference* major??? And that wasn't even interference!

Hudson Fasching and Minnesota are playing against North Dakota in the Frozen Four over on ESPN 2.

In his defense, he has 199 hits this year.

I never assume the other team will do something I wouldn't. That doesn't mean it can't happen, but if you're trying to predict what different teams will do, just ask what you would do in the same situation. That's pretty much how last year's draft played out. The only one of the Magnificent Seven that I thought could fall to us was Nichushkin, and that's what happened. I really didn't think the other teams would pass over all of the others.
