Granato just can't help himself. He loves him some Jokiharju. At this point, sure, why not. They have to get a 2nd pairing that works when having to go against the other teams' top lines.

3 dead at MSU. The shooter was cornered around midnight and killed himself. If you're inclined to do so, say a prayer for the others he wounded.

No offense, but wgaf about what the people on this board think of him? As long as Granato, Adams, & Bales understand the situation, he & we will be fine. And there's no reason to expect THEY won't get it.

Don't want to see him rushed just because he dominated college either. But would much rather see him get an opportunity to show where he's at & if he's ready, then let him play rather than automatically assigning him to Ra-cha-cha or even lesser places just because 7th round goalies don't play in the NHL at age 21 or 22. How many years of Hasek's prime were wasted in the AHL & behind guys that weren't as good as him at the NHL level because they had the credentials and he was extremely unorthodox. (Nothing could've been done to get him over the pond sooner, but he was the top goalie 5 times in the 3rd best league in world. And he needed Fuhr being out to finally get a legit chance.) In no way is Levi being called a Hasek here. But am pointing out that sometimes guys that aren't prototypical have to wait too friggin' long to get their shot. Find out where he's at ASAP & then keep refining projections based on where he really is at and err on giving him a chance too soon. He seems to have a very good head on his shoulders, getting a chance too soon won't ruin him anymore than getting shellacked by Detroit ruined Miller. And he's been REALLY impressive in the handful of games this kid watched.

But does he have the wherewithal? 😉

And in the summers he's gone up against NHL talent that raves about him. Remember that. 😉 It's not like he's a typical college kid. REALLY want to see him get in an actual game or 2 this year so we can see where he's at w/ the combination of being in full season game shape & the holy cow, this is the NHL adrenaline rush hitting.

Other NA countries? Like Mexico and Guatemala? Why wouldn't he just connect through a Scandanavian country or Japan or similar?

Them & the Buffalo Braves are dead & gone. Tim Raines sheds a tear.

You never know. 😉

Youppi! is the Habs mascot. The Otters have some lame cowardly lion as their mascot. The morons didn't even go w/ an Otter. Pinheads.

After the trade deadline, which IIRC falls on March 3, they can carry as many players as they want on the active roster provided they don't exceed the cap. At this point of the season because of the banked cap they have accrued they could bring in pretty much an entire roster's worth of cap and not exceed it. And they most certainly will have Levi on the roster for a bit to burn his 1st ELC year. Pretty sure he'll at least need to dress as the backup for 1 game to do so, so he'll get that much action at a minimum. And am 100% willing to guarantee he doesn't see the ECHL unless it is on something weird like a conditioning stint post injury.

We shall see. He almost definitely will be on the Sabres roster this year after NU's season is done. If he actually gets into any games, he might surprise in a good way. In the off-season, he's been facing NHLers since his midterms. He won't need nearly as much time in Ra-cha-cha as most are expecting. Could see him taking the Sabres crease by Christmas unless UPL or Comrie take their games to another level.

They didn't travel on only the 3 westernmost road trips this year. They made all the other trips. Believe Duff & Biron went on 1 or 2 of the trips, but they might've been left at home for all them.

Does anybody know why when Matt Beniers became an injury scratch for the ASG, he got replaced by Stephenson of Vegas? The Krackers ended up the only team w/out an AS rep. Also, on a slightly different note, the Sabres Store does have a few Thompson ASG sweaters for sale. They don't have any Dahlins because with him being a late add, Adidas and Fanatics didn't put together any Dahlin kits.

Levi really couldn't do anything on either goal. The 1st was true cross ice tic-tac-toe passing. The 2nd, he made a blocker save off a screen & the puck went off his C's leg over to his left where the Harvard goal scorer (Coronato had both goals) shot it in before Levi could figure out where the puck had detected to. Both Northeastern goals were also scored by the same player (Fontaine). This Levi kid just might be a keeper.

He got his break in 2 Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place (pizza joint? pizzeria?). He also was the Green Lantern in another of a long line of bad DC movies. (If Batman isn't in it, there's a really good chance it'll be bad if it's from DC.) The gin company is Aviator.

Really? He wasn't healthy this year since the Jest loss. (Possibly since the GB game.)

They're based in Wales. Pretty sure they play in the 2nd oldest soccer stadium in the world. They were EPL 20 or so years ago and have worked their way 3 or 4 levels below that since. They came very close to moving up a level last year, but ended up short.

Wrexham. 1 level above semi-pro.

Guess there is an active shooter on Michigan State's campus right now. Supposedly a couple of people are dead.

Star of the Green 2 Guys, a Girl, & a Deadpool. Pretty sure he's now Welch.

So Cal Petersen FINALLY provides some modicum of value to the Sabres by keeping Chychrun out of the Kings lineup tonight. Sweet.

Didn't Hall sit about 8 games waiting for the inevitable trade to Beantown? If they've made the decision he's gone, he won't wear pachinka again.

Agree w/ the bolded, but these refs let that exact play go repeatedly for over 58 minutes. It's that they changed what they were calling at a point when there wasn't enough time left for 1 team to overcome it. (And wanted the AFC Squad to win. ALWAYS root for the AFC as long as their representative isn't a cheating bunch of chowdah heads.)
