darksabre Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 This is where Vasilevsky takes Bishop's job. Bookmark this post. The may keep him for playoff insurance, but he will not be in Tampa next season. Interesting take. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Speaking of the Lightning. Remember Drouin, well he is back his usual self, in the good sense. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/brophy/jonathan-drouin-tampa-bay-lightning-1.3907214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Drouin is a worthy comparable for the Samson watchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Blue Jackets about to win their 11th straight, smoking the Pens 7-1. They've picked up points in 26 of 31 games this year. Raise your hand if you saw this coming....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Matthews might pass Laine scoring goals by the time the season is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Insane random stat: James Mirtle @mirtle 36m36 minutes ago Jagr needs 75 more points to have as many points as Gretzky had assists. And yet, here I sit, continuing to think that Crosby could be in the vicinity if he played during the firewagon era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Matthews might pass Laine scoring goals by the time the season is over. Matthews scored tonight to go 16-9-25. Laine scored tonight to go 19-11-30. The Jets have 3 players with 30 or more points and still won't make the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Matthews might pass Laine scoring goals by the time the season is over. It will be close. Laine's SH% has started to drop off a bit (he was at like 26% at one point) - that should tighten the matter up considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I so wish that Jagr was a Sabre.

Marvelo Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Amazing what the Columbus Blue Jackets are doing so far (22-5). Kudos to Torts, who the Sabres groomed to be coach but was never good enough for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will a bit, but if you use underlying metrics to predict where they might end up, it still looks like they'd be a top 10 team in the league. It is a loooooot of players having career years though.

Taro T Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm amazed by Columbus' run this year. I'm waiting for it to fall apart. It has to, right? It's pretty much the flip side of last year's awful season. Except for coaching, there was no reason to expect that team to be nearly as bad as they were.

Ducky Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) If asked before the season if Torts would still be coaching at Christmas I would have given it a 50/50 chance and look at him... To be fair to Matthews, the Jets have played 4 more games than the Leafs. I compare the Jets to the Leafs and Sabres and the Coyotes with the Coyotes and Leafs maybe being a bit behind in their rebuild by a year or two. Really good prospects, inconsistent play, one or two bad contracts and impatient fans. Calgary is a bit ahead in their rebuild as is Deadmonton but don't start me on that team. I think in 3 or so years the 4 teams I named will all be in the top teams of the league. Look at ow fast things change, of the top 10 teams right now the only Western teams are Chicago and Minnesota. The game is getting faster every year. Edited December 23, 2016 by Ducky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
