    IMHO, Antipin is too physically overmatched to be in the top 4 of a real contender, but his puck skills and hockey IQ are good enough that I can see him developing -- as early as this year -- into a top 4 defenseman on the Sabres and in the top 6 of pretty much any team.

    He was joking you hoser.

    I may be deluding myself, but the glitches I've seen with B-loo this year have been, after the first couple of games, almost entirely comprised of turnovers in the offensive zone that result in breakaways or 2-on-1s for the opponent -- i.e. I haven't seen an inordinate amount of defensive zone lapses from him. I also think the offensive zone lapses are an issue that is fixable, and that he is a really good skater with good hands. So I think the potential is there and I want to see what a season with Howie does for him. The same thing happened to me a few years ago with a gray-market stream, and I've not gone there since.

    So it looks like Luongo has kinda fallen off the table and has been supplanted by Reimer as the #1 G, and the Panthers are DFL in GA. Also, Pysyk is now on their 2nd-pair. Coincidence? Either way: yeeeeeeeeessssshhh.

    It's freezing here but it is Friday! Good restaurants are planned for both lunch and dinner today. Not bad a-tall.

    Here's something that's good for confidence and for combating doubt and fragility: rock-solid goaltending. The Sabres played better in front of Dominik and Miller than in front of Marty (and the parade of loser backups that DR brought in after Marty). They haven't had consistently good goaltending this year, and it's hurt them.

    ​Ooooooooooohhhh. GA busted again for #Hammymath. He's a recidivist.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a move for a goalie. It's worth remembering that they are missing 3 of the projected top 5 on D.

    These 3 posts were much better than anything that happened in the game. Lehner gave away his team's chance to win tonight IMHO. The first 2 goals, which came in the first 8 min or so, both were scored on putbacks of fat Lehner rebounds.

    If there are a few more efforts like tonight's -- and at this point it won't take many -- then Lehner is NFW to return next year. Eeeeeeeeeesssshhhh.

    I am going to break the closure on this on an emergency basis to congratulate iTinSn on his good health news and for being the first SabreSpace poster that I can remember to post while in a tub with significant other. That's when you know you have a great message board.

    Yeeeeeeshh. Not exactly the 1970s Habs. Is Falk really going to play 23 minutes of an NHL game?
  13. nfreeman
    Correct. And great background info on the Pens’ lottery fortune.

    Here comes my man Taylor Fedun.

    Kane was terrific in the half of the AZ game that I saw (which was the good half) and has had a very strong year so far. If his teammates like him and if he works hard in practice -- neither of which we have any idea about -- I want to keep him. Here's a question: would the Sabres offer Kane $7.5MM x 4 years? And would Kane take it?

    Interesting. Risto has a lot of upside and so does the Sabres' #1 next June. Bailey might also. But there's a real chance Risto doesn't take another big step, which would need to happen in order for him to justify paying him over paying Duchene (or Kane for that matter). Ooooooooooooohhhh.
  17. nfreeman
    No pass rush, no pass protection, no running game, a million penalties, a dropped INT early, a fumble that cost them a FG before the half...that all spells ugly loss.

    Freaking terrible.

    The terminator is suiting up! He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.

    During the drought, the Bills have lost the kind of game they have tonight -- i.e. one where they have a chance to make a statement and put themselves into good position in the standings -- 100% of the time. I don't believe yet, but I want to.

    Pls knock it off with the political posts.
  22. nfreeman
    Holy mackerel.

    Let it never be said that PA doesn't have his moments. I wouldn't have guessed that the musicians were Marv fans, but you learn something new every day. I sure hope they win tomorrow night.

    I watched some highlights of Benjamin last night. Holy mackerel. That guy is a monster. I can't remember ever seeing a WR that big and powerful-looking. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am pretty psyched to attend Bills-Jets tomorrow night! (I've been to a bunch of Bills-Jets games here over the years, and they have all been terrible games followed by terrible traffic experiences.)
  25. nfreeman
    Well, if true, it means they aren't going to jettison Glenn, which means that they are keeping a pretty solid LT who has hopefully bought into the program. Addition by non-subtraction!
