    Sabres hockey but I watch NHL games every night. International hockey, World Juniors is great and hope to see NHLers back in the Olympics. Junior hockey is fun to follow and affordable. Golf, especially the Majors. Still play too.

  1. He bumped Matt Ellis down a notch, says a lot about him. This staff needs to go.
  2. I was in the camp saying he could be a 50-60 point guy. He just looks so overmatched, can’t win a puck battle, can’t beat Dmen with speed or moves. He is also not getting near the net often enough to use his shot. 15 games seems like a reasonable number for him to prove his worth. I would not be upset if he was an added piece in a deal that brought back some actual help. He could do better elsewhere but you can’t live in fear, just do something and deal with the consequences.
  3. Congratulations!
  4. Reimer has been a #1 (40+ games) in 5 of his 15 NHL seasons. He is also 37 years old, so I wouldn’t count on much more than a stopgap type player. You are right that KA will probably run this roster back and maybe think Levi is ready. He has not addressed goaltending issues in his 5 years and I don’t see him making a bold move. Goalies are weird, so there is a chance UPL finds some improvement and gets back to average numbers. Many goalies seem to have roller coaster careers and consistency is what separates the great ones.
  5. A RHD who can be better than Jokiharju and Clifton, it’s a small step to improving the D corps. Definitely more skill than Gilbert except in fisticuffs.
  6. Some nice clips there. He plays a two way game and is physical. Top scorer on a good team at 18. Playmaking centre. I like this guy if picking 3rd or later.
  7. Hoping all goes well.
  8. Watching this confirms where KA is embedded.
  9. Do better, it’s all I’ve got. This guy has made himself a 7/8 Dman but is done as far as any growth is concerned.
  10. Angry Larry has finally been replaced.
  11. I realize playing skill doesn’t translate to coaching ability. I was just trying to say that the organization has become the Matt Ellis of outfits. Rocket Richard’s coaching career only lasted 2 games with the Nordiques of the WHA. He couldn’t believe how players didn’t have his passion for the game.
