I have been on and still remain on the trade Stafford train. I don't see Roy getting traded until the trade deadline next year. If teams didn't want to trade for him because of his contract then that will still be the case until the end of the year. But if there was really a deal that could have gotten a 1st for Roy then Darcy needs to get that done during the offseason - maybe he can get that pick in next years draft rather than this upcoming draft. Of course once again I will mention that I don't think Darcy and Lindy see eye to eye on this one. Since Darcy and Lindy aren't going anywhere then we have to expect that Darcy will look into trading Vanek. Vanek to Minny? Don't know if Darcy can get them to trade some of their up and coming players. Maybe Darcy and Lindy also won't be on the same page with this one unless Vanek tells Darcy he can't play for Ruff anymore. Hecht needs to retire but I can imagine him being on the Sabres top line again next year. With the top couple of defensemen out of the line up the Sabres goaltending gave up a good chunk of goals in some meaningful games. So if Darcy was able to bring in another top dman perhaps Miller could be sent out west to make his wife happy. I won't be surprised if all of the old core players I mentioned are on the Sabres opening day roster next season.

Briere averaged 19:18 TOI and Drury averaged 18:46 TOI in 06-07.

I don't recall being on the fire Ruff at all costs bus. But I do believe that there are certain players that Ruff does not coach to the best. He doesn't coach goaltenders to the best and he doesn't coach the highest talented players to the best. Maybe I shouldn't generalize. Miller should be getting more or more evenly spaced time off to stay fresh. Vanek when healthy should be getting probably 3-4 more minutes a game, PK time included. Luke Adam should have been sent down long before he was (not that I am including him in either the goalie or high talent groups :) ) Well that is a given! I wonder if Roy is one case where Darcy and Lindy don't agree. We all seem to believe that Lindy loves Roy as a son and it shows on the ice. Vanek gets an offensive zone penalty and gets benched while Roy does the same and sees no change in ice time. But then we have all those rumors that Darcy has been looking to trade Roy all year.

What are the chances that Lindy isn't including Roy in these comments? http://wgr550.com/Ruff-not-happy-with-his-core/12768358 "we put it on the core group of players and for me it’s a tough situation to be in because we battled hard to get back, but we didn’t get there.” Ruff added, “Guys had chances to make a difference and didn’t make a difference. When you get an opportunity, you get paid to score goals or prevent them if you’re a defender."

Sadly, no. There are a couple sites that do (fantasypostseason & fantrax) but I don't know anything about them.

I believe he might be into hard bop. :flirt:

Korab plays flute.

They probably should determine what game it will be at the beginning of the season. Probably should have been the Minny game as you will still have a good number of Pens fans coming to the game.

Has the Russian market dried up?

Congrats d4rk on the victory! Good luck in the Blue finals!

Well, Stafford didn't help you today - every other one of your players did though. :( NO MAS! NO MAS!

Sucks for me but I hope he drives you to the championship since that will help the Sabres!

Of course I lost in the 1st round so one of those trades didn't make any difference in the end. :(

I thought it was that Tebow found out that God doesn't visit NJ.

Maybe next year the Blue league will have 16 teams so we can have 8 teams in the playoffs.

You should start a thread about that.

But I think he prayed to go play in a city where it is 70 degrees in March.

There are currently two shows on TV about this: Doomsday Preppers and Doomsday Bunkers.

I think what they do is create one GAA / SV% based on all of the games played by all of the goalies - not take each GAA for each game and then average them out. So since Timmy played such a small amount his couple goals against on the small number of shots had a reduced impact when added to the many saves made by the other goalie.

Sadly, 2 appearances rather than starts.

That might make it more appealing to many people.

Plus he could see the hit coming so it is OK.

Congrats for the 1st round victory Blue in Gold. I guess my team battled so hard to get back into the playoffs that they had nothing left in the tank. :)
