Because we are negotiating with Tuch??? I'm not following you at all. Is this a thread about Tuch's extension or rehashing the drought? I thought this was a Tuch thread. My bad.

I don't see that. If Mrtka isn't challenged in juniors, what is he learning? How to play when it's easy?

What situation are we in, exactly?

Being 2nd line D wouldn't be the worst thing. He could play a lot and dominate in juniors or he can be challenged by better competition.

Why not Blue Cross Arena in Rochester? Actually they might be able to play at KBC even during construction. They pulled it off in Cleveland with the Cavaliers when Quickin Loan Arena was being updated.

I have some doubts about economic growth in general over the next few years.

Mrtka is actually eligible to go to Rochester. That's because he was loaned to Seattle by his Czech team. The CHL rules don't apply to him in this case. Why wouldn't Mrtka get top minutes in Rochester?

Mostly good. Lyon let in a bad one today (Det #2) but he didn't have many tough saves to make because we are better at defending. And a lot of it is Mrtka. I'm not advocating keeping him in Buffalo but he looks awfully good. He might be better off in Rochester than Seattle.

Did the Sabres not score power play goals in their 2 road preseason games? EDIT: They did not. 0/2 @ CBS and 1/4 @ DET. Overall the Sabres are 4/12 .333

So did the Sabres then.

Is this Detroit's AHL roster. I thought their top 6 is playing?

Benson doing Benson things.

So how's that Sabres power play doing?

C'mon, Lyon

Mrtka wiped out Appleton.

He could have left now if he wanted to.

Naw, we just crap on everything. It's a reflex.

Mrtka got rubbed out by the net. Hockey is actually better to watch from the end zones.

I don't think $10MM/yr is an overpay at all. And frankly the Sabres have to pay Tuch even if it means overpaying for some over-30 years. I just feel kind of bad for Tage who's being grossly underpaid for his production right now. But that's the deal he signed. Well, if you want the Sabres to keep losing, sure.

A hold without using hands.

It's early but he looks more at home than Power ever has.

Mrtka: "this NHL is easy."

And every offseason his GM went after big-dollar free agents, though he failed to sign them. Why even bother if this internal cap exists?
