  1. And I was kidding
  2. Risto just wanted a rest
  3. ROR turnover without a shot...again
  4. We could only hope.
  5. Grant recalled to help the PK, since it was doing so well when he was here earlier in the season. (sarcasm)
  6. Kane, Nylander, and a #1 for Tyson Barrie and Gabriel Landeskog. Sabres probably need to throw in a college or Juniors D prospect as well.
  7. So the model should be Bruce Boudreau, right? He won the division with the Caps 4 times in a row and then was fired during a slow 1st half in 2011-2012. Anaheim smartly fired Randy Carlyle and then hired Boudreau within the same season he had been fired by Washington. The Ducks finished 5th the following year, then proceeded to win their division the next 4 seasons. Somehow they decided not to keep him and now he's coaching the Wild who, surprise! surpise!, are in first place in the Central. There may be little to no difference between the 10th and 20th best coaches in the league, but the impact of having one of the top 5 vs. one of the bottom 5 is enormous.
  8. Especially need regulation wins vs. NJ and Toronto. Beat Vancouver and get 1 out of 4 points vs. Anaheim and SJ combined and it's a decent week.
  9. Start of 5 games in 7 days...the season can turn up or slide into oblivion this week. So goalie rotation of Lehner (@NJ 6th), Nilsson (SJ 7th), Lehner (Anaheim 9th), Lehner (@Tor 11th), Nilsson (Van 12th)? I hope DD rides the hot goalie but doesn't force Lehner into back-to-back's when Nilsson has proven so capable. Especially with 4 games in 7 days the following week as well.
  10. Potential theory: teams can either protect 3 D and 7 F's or 8 skaters in total in the expansion draft. We know Risto and McCabe are 2 protected D. Who's the 3rd? Maybe it's Falk. GMTM isn't going to protect Bogo or Gorges. Kuli is an UFA. Having a 3rd to protect enables protecting 7 F's instead of only 6 under the 8 skaters in total option. I think Falk has been more than serviceable and takes over Franson's 3rd pair minutes next year, with hopefully Guhle and a FA (Kuli or another) slotting in above him as well.
  11. Getting on the airplane now...I love being able to see the goals on NHL.com. A slightly better trip when it starts with a Sabres W!
  12. Thanks for the commentary...following via my phone in the airport
  13. Thanks... I thought he wasn't due for the next major injury for a few weeks now. Ahead of schedule!
  14. I'm at work and can't listen in or watch. Did he get hurt? Or is it just a ploy to improve his +/- by 5 game over game?
  15. I have a feeling Bogosian plays better tonight...+/- should be at least +2 or +3 better than in Montreal.
  16. That was probably another goal they aren't going to give the Sabres
  17. I'm just glad to see a new commercial in the rotation
  18. I just want to hear the song
  19. I don't care for the anthem singer
  20. I hear you. I am out the door at 4:30AM to catch a flight to Asia and I haven't even packed yet. Still going to watch. Amen, brother.
