Grigs was 50.57% in the QMJHL last year and 51.33% this year. Not a huge improvement but not bad either. Granted, he'll be playing against NHL talent now but he seems to be a quick learner. BTW, anyone who wants some youtube clips of the scrimmage just click here

He can post it here when ready and I'll do some chzmagic.

The charts are great but they don't have much meaning until halfway through the season. We'll make sure they stay on top.

According to a reporter in Gwinnett, Corey Fienhage is coming back to the Amerks.

FWIW, Kevin Porter and Nick Tarnasky would have been subject to waivers and DR didn't want to risk it so they didn't play tonight. Note: Snow called DR and gave him the heads up that they would be taking Finley at the waiver wire.

When a hockey player bends over, grabs his shorts, leans back and takes a big breath in, cringes and bends over again, you get a good idea what happened. lol So? Did you buy one of the 18,000 tickets left while you were there?

Amerks are hoping not and he plays Friday.

Stafford got robbed by Enroth on a great glove save. Miller has a few "That's another Toyota big save" moments. They did seem to be a bit off with the puck/stick coordination. Many times they shot and wiffed or passed and wiffed. Rusty. Never seen Biega before but he was throwing it everywhere. To the point of "what are doing hitting me like that" meme. And yeah PA. Vanek took one in the hand and limped off and a shift later took a slapper in the boys. You could see him saying "oh what the hell"! May have caught a glimpse of a WTF wave too.

Most of the time they had two lines of NHL guys going up against each other F-E-S vs V-H-P and then the AHL guys (or Scott v Kaleta) matched up, same for defense.

Supposedly an eye injury/concussion.

ur a regular copy/paste guru aren't you?

Vanek-Hodgson-Pominville looked good Foligno-Ennis-Stafford looked good. You just can't catch Ennis. To use a well known phrase, "he could stick handle himself out of a phone booth". Attendance reported during the scrimmage at 10,175 or something close.

Got a good chuckle out of the crowd. John Scott and Kaleta seemed to have a good relationship. They were going after each other, playfully. the whole game. At one point Duffer was interviewing Kaleta by the benches and Scott came over as he was getting off the ice and gave him a stick tap to the boys.

Just got back. I'll try and remember but give me some questions to answer? 1) Grigorenko: huge round of applause for the shootout, obviously a crowd favorite. Always, and i mean always, in the right spot defensively and offensively. He went around Pysyk like he was a pylon on one shift. Took two strides, if that and was from one blueline to the other and on top of the net. 2) Vanek: he's got to stop trying to the toe drag. He just can't do it. MOVE YOUR FEET!!!! 3) Most of the first and second they seemed to be going through the paces. Until 3 minutes left they started hitting and trying very hard to score.

Lower bowl almost full. A good 5,000.

Someone asked. Center ice free preview thru end of Jan.

They've got lots of cameras here. Prolly something up tomorrow.

You want a third rounder for who? Leopold? Brennan? Sekera? even Pardy?

I can't stand Jack Edwards. No way his voice is opening my beer.

I've got all three. You've got three right. Can't remember the other three right now (you know it is a 28 pack).

You forgot?

Sabres sold over 30,000 tickets yesterday. I went in today just to check on availability of some games. 2 seats next to each other, best available, Section 322

Looks like Finley didn't clear waivers. Islanders picked him up.
