Someone asked a question about Irbe today but I didn't get to hear the answer because of work. Stupid work. There was. But that's all we know.

And then add in the O O O O'Reilly's auto parts commercial song as background whenever you open this thread lol

Trottier got mentioned a lot last year. Not sure what meaning that has though lol

Getting Murray as an asst. is fantastic! and I would say doesn't happen without GMTM here. I love this move it is such a huge upgrade.

Blackhawks are holding theirs today actually. :flirt: Chicago Blackhawks parade 2015: Start time, TV schedule, map and route for Stanley Cup celebration http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2015/6/18/8797089/2015-chicago-blackhawks-stanley-cup-parade-time-tv-schedule-route-map

lol

know it all :P Can you spot a band wagoner

Interesting. And welcome aboard. Not sure if you've lurked but basically what you're saying is Eichel is the perfect match for Murray and the one he wanted all along as evidenced by the ZFG look of Eichel.

If we think it, we can make it have long term value!

:beer: Only in a video game and it will be abut goal. Still a GWG but in a video game. I don't care that he's a good guy and does what he's told and everybody likes him personally. I have bitched about having to pay for an NHL ticket every time I see him. Enough. His presence and all he brings to an NHL team has shown back to back last place finishes. Not his fault of course but I think he a cancer in my hockey brain. Cut it out. Now. I can find a guy in a beer league that would probably give me more on the ice. Let him live out his dreams in the AHL. He can be the well liked guy down there and play out his days and make a pretty decent buck doing it. I will need help if this man plays another game other than a pre season game for the Sabres.

The news is not surprising but sure is interesting. There's really only one place he belongs. Right here, the growing home of USA hockey. Being Granato is an assistant, if he has aspirations of being a head coach, he'll need to win sooner than later and I know we will be miles ahead of Toronto at the start of the season. If this happens, I rate this as yet another hell ya in the building of One Buffalo. Really impressive what the hell is going on. Viva El Pegual

LOL the nerve to bother posting a Matt Ellis link. Matt Ellis :wallbash:

He should be banned for this!

Yes!! I'm Bud Ice but I'm not 18 either so there's that.

Think NFL GM pre draft speak. !

Well, hell ya to the hell ya or whatever we say now. Wait, we never said that. ..Fistbump. We're good. GMTM is the man.

I completely disagree with Button about that. In fact many people have laid out realistic scenarios on improvements. I like Taros' recent one a lot. Just win a couple more games each month for starters. And shouldn't that be realistic? Kids or not, wont they be better than Matt Ellis, Phil Varone, Zach Dalpe, and Pat Kaleta? Oh and how about as one way to realisticly improve, Just win SOME games in January FFS and they're you go. I heard him say it, I get it, but there is also the flip side. Is he also saying hey guys you're not really going to improve despite a massive increase of talent and coaching next season. But the one after that those same guys will be lights out? Kids will certainly make their share of mistakes. Will they be worse than the no talent hacks instructed by a guy stuck in another time? I would argue no. No they won't be. They have a legitimate chance to make that leapfrog next season. I say that expecting a few more changes coming. Maybe a biggie too. It's time to look forward now. Let us pray.

On both boards lol

I believe it was the Oilers. Pretty sure I heard he interviewed with them first. And also, I agree with and don't particularly care. These kids, all of them will realize they arte dealing with a lot of snakes as they progress and that anything they say can and will be used against them. Hell, even Marshawn Lynch learned his lesson and attended the pressers just so he don't get fined.

Welcome to the jungle. No wait that's not it. Welcome.

Me too. But then when you think about it would such a great rivalry that we would get to see. But didn't happen so screw you Toronto anyways.

Yep. It's in the rulebook. I feel like Murray will forever be pissed off about the draft change that he will hold the rulebook over every team and the league forever for voting for the changes they did. I like that. ZFG and holds a grudge.

Between Bylsma, Kane, a full year of Bogo, some unknown pieces to come perhaps like ROR, Jack and who knows what else I think this could be an ultimate turn around year and to me it's playoffs or bust! I get that there will certainly be growing pains. So many new faces that have to gel etc but what I don't get is guys like Button putting the brakes on next season as if it's just a throw away season. I don't think that at all. Lets Go Buffalo

Surprised nobody posted this. The interview on GR yesterday with Murray and so much about Jack. Murray interviews are gold! I like the way he ticks. And explaining the lottery to Jack is great. And saying he loved that Jack says he will be better than McDavid. "He should say that" Awesome stuff here for anyone that hasn't heard it. http://media.wgr550.com/a/106130101/6-4-sabres-gm-tim-murray-loves-halo.htm

It's really why I'm still allowed here. So there's that. :thumbsup:
