We're apparently the same age - I was 9 when I first saw Bert as a rookie! I'm with you - I don't do fantasy sports so I have little/no need for advanced stats and pay little attention to them. As I have gotten older, I can frequently tell, based upon observation, that a team doesn't "have it" on a given night. At times I wish I was that little kid that ALWAYS believed my team was going to win/pull it out, regardless of time left, score, opponent, etc
-
While this sounds all well and good - and I'd love to believe it. How did the paternal "grooming" work out for Todd Marinovich? That being said, I have a lot of hope for Lehner I posted before reading further - the same thought obviously!
-
He'll be interesting to watch. I was at his NHL debut and didn't think he looked near ready that night. Very shaky at times.
-
Other saviors from the first round include Morris Titanic and, from Scotty himself, Jiri Dudacek

Batman - speaking of the Flyboys -
I don't care about my fast food cook or hockey player, but I do care if my pilot smokes weed!
-
I, too, noticed him on the pp point regularly. Regardless of how much that was directly responsible for 3 goals, I like it as a coaching staff making a change that got a team moving offensively.
-
I voted Eichel - the real birth of a Sabres legend! We had Bert set the rookie goal record in 70-71 and Rico set it the following year. Time for Jack to follow!
-
I voted for decent NHL starter BUT, in my opinion, "decent nhl starter" and "ryan miller's career" are synonymous
-
I voted for both options 2 and 4. I'm confident he is a leader and top 9 forward on this team at the start of the season. I'm hopeful he is surpassed by younger guys as the season wears on.

Joe Battista, Sabres VP of Hockey Related Business, has resigned

I feel like there is a little Capt. Tuttle in all of us. As a matter of fact, you might say that together we make up Capt. Tuttle. -
This might actually cause me to get a FB account!

It is really interesting how much age impacts your memory in something like this. I think of Van as the Voice of the Braves plus an afternoon radio man, the host of It's Academic and Bowling for Dollars. I then looked at the years - he was off the Bills from my age 9-17, I haven't resided in Buffalo since 1980.
-
My sentiments exactly!
-
How old is Cal? Could he be a player/coach or some such? GMTM was talking about "discussing some different things" in response to the question about an Amerks coach
-
Absolutely! I truly feel like I did in the early 70's when we beat out the Red Wings for our first playoff series. This team is on its way
-
Bert and, I believe, Morris titanic
-
Not all NHL players have to be exceptional skaters...

This discussion placed visions of Phil Esposito camped in front of the net -
Very clear from listening to the presser that Chad Johnson is a placeholder
-
Second would be Bert with Schoeny third. Obviously, age is showing in this poll
-
Been a little surprised at the series so for - I do believe that the winner this evening ends up hoisting the Cup.
-
I'd move Crozier up to #2, although a distant second
-
This is where I am. To this day I remain convinced that the reason Buffalo is the only place Scotty coached without playing in a Cup final is because it was his initial foray into coach/GM. As Gm he drafted Jiri Dudacek in the first round - essentially forfeiting the pick.
-
For that kind of money, I'll bet Babcock views Buffalo as "hockey heaven"
-
I think it is very important that the report says Babcock is negotiating with Murray. I'm very hopeful that the GM is in charge of the decision on the coach - including "hockey power" details.
