Hear, hear. I feel the same way after only two games.

What a lousy weekend. Those games bookended my worst round of golf in 30 years. I am not in a good mood but I will not pile on. I give these guys more time than this but they make it so damn hard to be a fan. The goaltending was good and that is an important building block. They need to win a few to get some confidence and start to play more instinctively. Dahlin needs to get healthy, he can be a difference maker but he looks like 50% out there. I hope JJP and Benson are back for the home opener.

I would put Kulich in and drop Greenway or Zucker to the 4th line. I would also play him on PP2.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen chants will be heard, and he will respond. JJP will keep the Munich vibe going with a PP goal and Cozens will have a good game, channeling his May run in the same building.

For our mental health.

97 points Yes for playoffs TNT ignites 41 lamps Dahlin has a career best 87 points Dahlin MVP Levi ROY McLeod proves to be a great 3C Felix Sandstrom comes up when injuries hit the big club after Reimer gets claimed and he gets crushed. Thankfully only one game. Byram surprises with solid play and takes control of PP2. Quinn breaks out with 29G 38A Dahlin wins the Norris and puts an exclamation point on it with a crushing hit on Quinn Hughes trying to go coast to coast. McLeod is the unsung hero. Bryson is traded because Lindy likes Gilbert more and RyJo is more than able to fill in. $7M in cap space is burning a hole in KA’s pocket and TP lets him get a top 9 winger. Buyers, move Rosen and some picks. Levi gets 30+ starts and pushes UPL to be better. The only prediction that matters is #2.

I haven’t played around with it but I would think you can move players up and down according to your rankings. I don’t think it is a watch list but you would have to formulate some kind of draft list.

My baby is 19 years old and he doesn’t sleep at night either. He can sleep through most of the day though, lol.

iPad is my device. I had to minimize the queued button in order to see the draft button. Auto draft may be your friend.

That would be something to remember Skinner by if the Sabres make it this season.

Arbitration can have consequences.

I can see KA telling Lindy that he is keeping 3 goalies because Levi is better than Reimer but he is scared to lose him to waivers. I would prefer to have Levi start when UPL needs a break and have him play in Rochester as much as possible. Reimer can backup UPL and go on the long road trips to get the odd start.

He was close to 30 last year so I think he breaks through that this season. I think Quinn will be the best with his all around game plus IQ. Also, his shot is more lethal than the other two.

So, there is a chance!

Thanks!

Probably just having a senior moment. Tried a mock draft and was able to highlight players, but unable to select them. I forget what button to press to select. Any ideas.

Depending on how game #1 goes, Lindy may stay with the same lineup. Someone getting dinged up is changes things. Kulich is the guy going in imo. He is the next man up as far as prospects and has taken a step forward from the end of the last season. If a 4th liner is out, Greenway can drop down a line imo. I am sure the Czech fans are more excited about Kulich’s potential than Rousek’s.

Thanks for stepping up, I enjoyed this pool. Looks like the stats are all the same as last year, I didn’t notice any changes to the settings. See you at the draft.

I was better off not knowing that no teams this far below the cap ceiling never make the playoffs. I am still hopeful they can buck that trend but now I am pi**ed again at TP and KA for not finding more talent with that $$. This team can do it but adding talent to provide some help would let me feel better about their chances.

Are the Devils in Prague yet? Sabres should be fully acclimated to the time change now. They got there first which should be a bit of an advantage.

Taking the glass half full approach. They are tied for first overall at the moment.

I am a retired lineman and have done storm restoration work throughout the eastern seaboard. Those outage numbers in South Carolina have barely dropped in almost a week, meaning it is a lot of damage. I have a lot of friends working in the southeast at the moment, I couldn’t go due to a project.

Yes, he is too young for the AHL.

President’s Cup golf was looking like a blowout for the USA but the International team came back yesterday and it is a decent competition now. Montreal crowds are having fun and the weather is great. This tournament doesn’t have the history and competitive edge of the Ryder Cup but it is good golf.
