Solid endorsement (unsolicited I believe) for Myers on GMTM's HH appearance this AM. Maybe he's trying to drive up the price, but he laughed off the offers of a late first round pick for Myers (or Foligno) and said they are guys he likes and is planning to build around.

It's an incomplete Myers thread without a Chara comparison. I'm in the "there's still potential to be a dominant #1" camp. Don't do it! If on the other hand Nolan and Murray think he's too mental to fix (confidence / IQ / desire), then so be it, trade-away.

Close. 21 in 11-12. From Hockey Gear HQ via Puck Daddy Miles x Team

The most interesting part to me as the parent of a 12 year old boy was the poise and maturity of this kid. That's an intimidating setting. Well done, and props to his parents. edit - just watched the Murray WGRZ interview - I guess he was not impressed! "had all year to prepare" "agent preps them". Awesome, loving GMTM.

Ha. The Bronco looks so dated.

I bet he's as happy as the fans today. Not a knock on the org, just saying, dude seemed miserable. Best of luck on his next step.

I'm late to this thread. Competitive cyclist here. It's tough to compare running to biking miles, intensity is #1. Running is always better bang for buck calorie wise, but running sucks. A lot of guys use fixies (track bikes) in the winter to maintain fitness, build leg strength, and burn calories in zone 2-3. They are fun and beautiful to look at, hence the hipster love, but probably not a good spot for a new cyclist to start. FWIW Western NY/Finger Lakes provides some of the best cycling on the planet in my opinion. Tons of roads, wide safe shoulders, varying terrain, scenic. D4rk if you are spinning out your 53x14 on flat roads you need to get yourself to France. The best amateur racers I know will TT at 26-28mph for 30-60 minutes in 53x16/15. Cadence should be 80-100/minute. Think "fast feet", no mashing. For motivation - 1 - goal setting - pick a race or charity ride 3 months out and use that deadline to get yourself out of bed. 2 - technology - STRAVA is a fantastic free GPS based app for droid/iphone (or garmin) that times you over user created segments. You can compare your times to other users or just yourself. Makes it fun to have mini-goals during a workout like set a best time on a hill or over a certain segment of the canal path, etc.

Sacrificial lamb here. "We're seeing a bunch of positives, we mean business, clean it up boys." Chara looked a littte tweaked on a close up at the beginning of the game last night. Big eyes like. Red bull or ???

Classic. Leggio's impression was solid too. If you haven't seen it, Puck Daddy blogged it a few months back.

Thanks for the reminder! I've been meaning to write up another email to NBC begging for it to stop next season.

This story is so annoying. I see this article http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/05/02/boston-strong-racist-reaction-after-subban-scores-game-winner/ the dude went and looked for tweets and found 12 of them? Are they all from the same guy? Why not include the account? Garbage. I don't doubt there's some racist Bruins fans, but I bet it's an extremely small percentage, same as the # of racist Sabres fans, Leafs fans, etc.

Vanek's ice time was low from the outset. Only 4 shifts for a total of 3 minutes of ice in 2nd. Briere too, but more to be expected there. Maybe Ink's theory is right and Theirien wants to save him until later in the series if/when things settle down. He did not look confident. Go Habs!

Agreed on the dumbassery. I wonder if there's room though given the glut of 3rd and 4th liners. I'd expect Nolan or Pegula or someone is going to have to go to bat for him. TM is probably like "meh". Looks like he's signed through next season though, maybe they bury in ROC.

Is Kaleta definitely done here? And please no Scott.

Good to see Risto played Sat and sounds like he played well.

Risto went hard into boards in first, awkward. Looked like he hit his head. Went to locker room, then returned in 2nd. He looked pretty lost on the 2nd chi goal. Grigerenko face off percentage looked good. And overall he looked solid. Larsson and Armia too. Tim Murray was walking amongst the people during 3rd intermission. We got to say hello. Tough loss.

That last shift by Ott was great. Takes a big cross-check, gets up quick, takes a nasty slash on back of leg, shakes it off, finds Toews and drills him. All in about 6 seconds of play. Outstanding.

Nolan did publicly nail Weber for a cross check last week didn't he? I think they were on the PK. Nolan said something like "dumb time to do that, wtf". If Weber thought he was justified in doing so, then Nolan calls him out publicly....just saying. I think the problem is as others have stated, end of season, hodgepodge of kids / NHL bubble players, not exactly a tightly bonded bunch of brothers in the room. And I think it will be corrected in about 6 months once GMTM puts his roster on the ice.

This Lieuwen kid is likable, that's a hell of an interview. And it's fun to cheer "louuuuuu" at the game. Next Biron? I'm buying the Leino / mental health theory. It's gotta suck. Good stuff last night for him and as has been said, so impressive the crowd responded the way they did. And Jagr is awesome. Rookie year 90-91. Current Sabres players who were born in 90 or later: Myers, Hodgson, Hackett, Ruhwedel, Deslauriers, Lieuwen, Foligno, Larsson, Girgensons, Ristolainen.

Agreed but oth if someone is willing to pay the $$$ can't blame him. Tough to duplicate that income level.

Does NJ start Brodeur who was pulled early in 2nd last night? I'm looking forward to seeing him and Jagr, both 1972, impressive. 2nd and 3rd oldest players in the league.

Overheard in ROC yesterday "New Kodak CEO hired today. His salary $1,000,000 per year!" "Wow that's a lot of money" "Yeah Wow" "Hey wait. That's still 3 million less per year than Ville Leino!"

Well...there was this Mayor in Rochester years ago, Bill Johnson was his name, and.... :blink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSC_Dolphin_Jet (In Denmark now?!) Train service might work for you http://www.amtrak.com/home Sounds like an awesome trip.

He and GMTM are probably having a nice lunch right now at a beachside resort in Ft Lauderdale. Latest from Weds was that TM was headed to FL to hang with him for a few days and talk it out. From the TB segment on WGR it sounds like they have barely hung out up to this point. Quite a contrast to BFFs DR and LR. I was a noob Sabres fan (just opening my eyes to the NHL) during TN's last stint with us, and have my doubts about the "us against the world" strategy, but his results over the past few months are impressive. I'm in.

It's nuts. 4 of 5 since the break. Puck control is still horrible though, so nothing to get too excited (or errr upset) about.
