If it's possible we should merge the Matthews/Eichel/line-up talk into the draft/tank thread.

Agreed. Good trade for both teams. I think Nashville gave up the better player (maybe not now, but over the span of their career) but they are much more improved from this trade than Columbus.

Ken Griffey Jr. was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame with 99% of the votes (all but three). I can't think of a more beloved athlete than Griffey for those of us who grew up watching and playing baseball. Without his injuries, he may have gone down as the Gretzky of baseball. It's incredible that three people didn't vote for him, but when you consider the BBWA, it's also very impressive the amount of votes he received. I'll be going to the induction for the third time to see him put in the hall. Truly one of the greatest baseball players of all-time and a role model for both professional athletes and fans alike.

With his great contract I feel like the asking price would be pretty high

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/scouts-compare-top-prospect-auston-matthews-to-kopitar-and-toews-220346354.htmlYahoo article on the two-way game of Matthews. Sounds like he's got more in common with ROR than Jack when it comes to his own zone.

You don't have to cheer for losses, 14th still has a 1% chance and we're owed one...:beer:

For the interested PPG on left, PP/60 on right: Stafford: 0.55/1.8 Kane: 0.43/1.3 Myers: 0.43/1.1 Bogo: 0.22/0.6

And people think we have too many top line centers now. Absolutely. As good as the Finns are, Matthews was NHL ready last year and is as close to a sure thing as you can get. The only benefit to Laine and Pool-Party is a few inches and later birthdays.

2-2 in the second for USA-SWE. Youtube stream available if anyone wants it Borgen's shot from the point gets tipped in for the lead. Under review though. 4-2 good guys

Lou gets lit and Jack pots another pair. 6-3 Sabres to kick off a nice little three game win streak.

I have a new stream if everyone lost the other one. Let me know if I missed sending it to you

The only reason to get that jersey is attention

Nice play, but you can't let that one it

Eighties propaganda really has worked. Not sure there is a team I would hate to lose to more than Russia.

To be fair, there was some funny Trump and Brady songs in there, but yeah, they are definitely overshadowed.

And now it's taken a turn for the worse

This is the best intermission show I've ever seen

Why does it seem like all posts have been muffled this season? I've noticed it both in person and on television for the Sabres, as well as just now in this game.

Wooo USA-USA-USA!

Game started at one and it's an HD youtube stream. Sent it your way

http://www.sportingcharts.com/nhl/stats/player-faceoff-statistics/2015/ ROR currently leads all centers in FO% so I doubt he moves to the wing.

Sent. Let me know if anyone else needs one.

https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/683705063634812928 Matthews will be looking for the Team USA goal scoring record in next two games. In six years if NHLers are still in the Olympics, the Americans should really be a force.

https://twitter.com/Classlicity/status/683721607848669184/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Interesting chart based on Primary Points Per 60/TOI. Drouin really sticks out as being underutilized.

Just did and see my error. For the clarification of others/those who didn't read the article, she didn't want to sue while attending the same school out of fear of embarrassment/uncomfortable feelings around the Ledyard's friends, and also that her parents were not encouraging her to sue. Her parents didn't play a role in the delay.
