I think Girgensons would be a perfect 4th line center, 1st PK, 2nd PP injury replacement next year and if anything happens to any of the centers he slots up as needed. A line of Deslauriers Girgensons Fasching with Fasching slotting up to 3rd line rotating with Gionta during games would be a luxury IMO

I like McCabe, if he's 3rd pairing the D is gonna be pretty damn good

Love the show, agreed that Bruce is coming along quite nicely. I like how he's dipping his toe into the underground, getting down to the criminal level.

1 It's the playoffs, the checking is tighter 2 the Blues are in their window which keeps getting slammed in their face year after year by the Hawks so increased urgency when checking the other teams best players is mandatory

Game and series on the line, Kane and Toews did a little maintenance and saved the Hawks season for atleast 1 more game.

You were just saying they had been held down the whole series so breaking free and scoring the game winner in OT of the Stanley Cup playoffs is indeed clutch and nobody else was clutch in regulation or OT or else Kane could not have been. Clutch or not he and Toews came through with their season on the line. I'm not banging the drum for the Hawks more so looking forward to that type of play from the Sabres in the future. This is a reasonable explanation of what i believe clutch to be as well, thank you

For the series they have been mostly held down but the play last night with their season on the line was clutch. Those two have a history of clutch plays in the playoffs. Kane is 3rd in NHL history with 5 ot goals in the playoffs. Is that not clutch?

Guhle says he is comfortable and thinks he can play in the A but his age means he has to return to juniors or play up with the Sabres, no AHL. Can he crack the top 6? Do they include him in a trade or let him marinate? How bout if they take a LD with their pick this year? Sign a vet like Backes, put him on a line with O'Reilly and Kane Trade for or sign an LD1 Sign Vesey or Cagguila or both, slide em in with the Duo Sign a reliable backup goaltender (Johnson if he's willing) Keep working and focusing on special teams Stay healthy

Kane was great there and Toews....well he was just parked solidly in front as close to Crawford as legally allowed and ended up tying up 2 defenseman while Kane circled the net. Jack and Samson anyone? We can only hope they end up as clutch as these 2.

Interference on Hossa missed

Blues tie it up

Kane, the sauce to Panarin. The replay angle was sweet. Rooting for Blues but the Hawks are a proven been there done that team. They just know how to win

Malkin is on fire tonight, it would take way too much

It's similar to whats happening in TB with the AHL coach coming up and liking his guys. The 26 game sample is the reason this is a story at all. Fair enough. What's the trade off of salary to compensation? Is there a pick or prospect equivalent to dollars traded?

O'Reilly on his left I realize it sounds ridiculous but they would be taking on salary and giving a 1st. Maybe add a prospect from b-lo but it's not completely unthinkable

Watching NHL tonight and the Pens reporter they were interviewing was giving his thoughts on Malkin. He said Malkin could end up on the block because of the 26 game sample where the kids line and Kessel stepped up not to mention Crosby just exploded so they may think they can do without him. He speculates the team could even lose the trade in order to move salary. Murray has already said that is one way he could possibly improve the roster, by trading for salary. Question is..could Pysyk, a 2016 2nd and 2017 1st get it done and would it be worth it? IMO it's yes to both. Remember the Sabres are taking on $9.5 mil for 6 years so it gives the Pens flexibility which they need.

Good timing for this post, McDonald's just announced a limited test if Big Macs. There's a larger one and a smaller single patty one being tested. Not to anyone in particuliar... This is a thread about the 1st round of the playoffs and the Sabres are not participating yet their fans are still watching and invested in the games on the ice. Safe to say that most here have some ideas on what would make a better product but that doesn't stop them from watching, IMO it's the old guard holding it back and keeping the league from evolving. Are we not fans of the NHL?

Looked like Jones tripped Brown there

Getting interesting in SJ

Sammy is in town today for workouts Whaley is just playing the game, keeping people guessing and his options open. As for TT, he'll get paid if he performs again and if the Bills don't draft a kid who's better.

I think Murray will get one of Caggiula or Vesey to sign here this summer

They're filming now, it runs from Jan to March

Ahhh, Jack ????
