K-9

I get the impression that KA and Co. actually preferred the 2nd round compensation once they explained to Johnson the career path they envisioned for him and Johnson rejected it. I think Johnson has a much higher opinion of his abilities than the Sabres’ brass does.

The actual TV broadcast on MSG was much better than the in-house CCTV feeds we normally get on AHL TV.

Are you saying that Eric Comrie is better than Eric Comrie?

Jobst with a snipe. 4 zip Amerks.

UPL bordering on Lehner bad.

I’ve been following the sport since the Bisons were the Rangers’ farm team in the A and I have no idea what you’re referring to. Please enlighten. Thanks.

Yay Hofer! Oops. Hofer lets in 4 of 5 in the shootout to lose it. And looked TERRIBLE doing it.

Hofer just spazzed. Hofer zero for two. Hofer lets in third in a row.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell. That said, it certainly appears team Canada coaches think less of him for whatever reason.

He was a 7th round pick who then went on to win two consecutive Richter awards as the best goalie in college hockey. I guess that doesn’t rate.

Does Levi really suck in practice or something? I mean WTF?

He needs to be gone from this tourney as well as all other IIHF tourneys. Just a cheap, chicken sh*t move.

In that case, Sabres fans are the happiest people in the history of the world.

The current broadcast deals have years left before they expire so the venue has no bearing on the billions the NFL gets annually from the various broadcasters. The networks do have certain technical requirements to support modern day telecasts, so there may be an issue with some stadiums around the country in that regard. As you implied, the big issue is the local revenues generated for teams at their home games. Corporate sponsors, suite owners, etc. pay a premium for home games and while ticket, concession, parking and other local revenues pale in comparison to broadcast revenues, they are still a significant factor to team bottom lines.

Grateful for the highlights, thanks. But that video package is hard to watch.

Did they qualify any of those signs of “wear and tear that are already visible?” I’m glad some are counting them out this coming season. It’s a relief when everyone and their mother anointed them champs going into last season.

Yep. And all without Biro, too. Young guys steppin up.

Joseph Woll just set the record for most losing handshake lines in a week. Congratulations, Joseph Woll.

Quinn with a nice helper on Canada’s 2nd goal.

May the fleas of a thousand camels …

Per the bold, can a CHL team give permission to a player if they wanted to?

I suppose it’s a positive sign when other teams wanna poach your front office, but I don’t wanna see Karmanos leave.

It’s game 7 as far as the Oilers should be concerned.

Good. He can experience getting eliminated twice in one week.
