Thanks!

These young kids need to learn now while it's tough to help them later when it's easier. The difference between a good team and a great one are those teams that don't quit and win the bad games and pull out the upsets because they believe they can. I'm too much of a pessimist that we'd ever get McDavid anyways. I don't know if Eichel will have that much of an impact. Hell no one knows for sure if McDavid will. So even if we finish last and lost the lottery again who knows. Plus that's only 1 guy. The Penguins didn't win the cup because they got Crosby. They won because of Maulkin, Stahl, Fluery AND Crosby (among others). I'm not really convinced we're one young "generational" player away from a cup. Would I like McDavid? Sure, but the chances of us getting him even if finish last are only 20% unless one of our other first round picks (Islanders, Blues) also finish in the lottery, and I don't see that happening. Not unless Tavaras goes down again. I think this is good for the young players we already have and therefore good for the future. Edit fixed some typos.

Thanks Peppy!

Thanks!

Thanks Peppy.

Awesome. Thanks for doing an Olympic version too!

Really depends on what she plans to use it for. I'm not a fan of the kindle fire. It's a very customized android tablet. If you want an android tablet I'd just get a Nexus 7. I love my first generation one. If she mostly wants to read on it, I would look at a Kindle paperwhite instead. If she already uses Apple, the new iPad mini might be the way to go. I wouldn't get a first gen mini though as they are inferior to even the original Nexus 7. The kindle app, on my nexus tablet works well. I read on it a fair bit. The only drawback of it compared to the fire is if you want to stream Amazon videos.

It's a great year for the ECAC, makes me feel a little better that my alma mater (Clarkson) did so poorly this year.

Thanks as always.

If only the Sabres were as good at what they do as you are at making these wallpapers. Thanks as always.

My favorite moment was after the Ottawa brawl when he got up on the boards to yell at Bryan Murray.

It's MSG's fault. They refuse to sell their HD feeds to cable companies. Verizon and at&t took them to court (and won) to force them, but sadly that hasn't seemed to help in demand (the company that provides the package to cable companies. DirectTV seems to have it. Possibly because they are satellite and have MSG as part of their sports package.

Well a 5 minute penalty would be a major, and therefore a goal wouldn't end the penalty. You can score as many as you're able in 5 minutes. Now if say Chara had a 4-minute double minor, and Lucic had a 2 minute, if it's teams choice, I'd assume they'd take Lucic in that situation simply to avoid extending the 5-3.

Thanks Pepe!

I'll be at the game, so I hope we win. The Caps are going to be desperate, but they are a mess.

Great as always. Thanks Pepe!

I think both players looked good last night. At this point I'd take Hodgson, because I think we can replace Kassian easier than getting a top 6 center. I still think we need more depth down the middle, and would have preffered trading away a lot of other players instead of Kassian, but presambly Kassian was all Vancouver was willing to trade him for that Regier was willing to give up. Hodgson has been solid in his 3 games with us, and I especially like his defensive play. That's something we've badly lacked at center on the top 6 since we lost Drury.
