There's no need to reseed these teams, just like there's no need to expand the playoffs to 24.  The NHL really just can't get out of its own way sometimes.  But I do see how some warmup games are a good idea.

No, there isn't.  But pretty sure their TV Network partners want as many friggin' "playoff" games as they can humanly get.

So,Russia has weird right wing conspiracy theorists too.

It was a bizarre read, to say the least.

No Sabres or California teams to root for!   Guess I’ll root for Vegas.  Eastern Conference?   I guess it’s Buffalo South and the Carolina Hurricanes.

Vancouver and Tampa Bay for me.  As Vancouver is my second team of course.  I don't mind Colorado.  I will never root for Carolina.  Ugh.  Sorry!  I put Carolina right up there with Toronto, and Montreal as my least favorite teams.  ?  I can respect Carolina, but I won't root for them to win anything.  First round exit please!

Good for him. I hope he becomes a productive player in the NHL.

ZOMG! WE WASTED AN ASSET!!

 

Did I do that right?

Well, aside from the fact that Pilut was an RFA whom we still had the NHL rights to, who we were actively trying to sign, who was an AHL All-Star, as opposed to an AHL depth player who wasn’t even property of the Buffalo Sabres, yes.

Can’t it just be #universaloverreaction?

Based on [math], I think he could pull 40.

I don't. His best season is 30 in 61 games but he was getting 19 minutes a night when he did that. He will never get enough ice time or pp time to get up to 40 points.

Watching a VTC with Eichel and Josh Allen. Even the wife said Eichel looks unhappy. Maybe he’s just hung over.

I don’t think he looked unhappy - just bored not playing hockey.

Ya know, I always hate those things. I found that completely enjoyable.

Two things. Duff is a consummate pro, and Josh Allen is a true star. I think Eichel is, too, but it’s different, somehow.

I find that I really like both of those guys for different reasons.
