  1. Game was with Brynas, I believe that is SEL, Swedish Elite League.Adler Mannheim is a German team. I saw the CHL logo on the broadcast, it is a European club tournament. Champions Hockey League.
  2. Keep in mind he's playing for a deal. I know he always plays hard but he's extra motivated this year. At the back of my mind is the fact he hasn't played more than 70 games in the last 5 years. I would like to keep him but I think he will want too much. Even if the Sabres match the money I suspect he goes elsewhere. He won't net a Duchene like basket because of his UFA status. 1st rounder + prospect?
  3. Wow! A win. Jack should've had the empty net goal but Kane was able to get it. They were going into Alamo mode (a la mode?) for a while but were able to control the puck at the end. Pouliot doing what Okposo should. I didn't think he had those moves. I'm glad Moulson was out, Baptiste didn't do much but his speed and hustle were evident on every shift, something Matty doesn't have. Gus was good, Sam was meh. I didn't miss Tennyson.
  4. BPA is different for each team as they all have different lists. They probably don't adhere to this 100% due to positional needs but you need a list of some kind to guide you. Call it the next guy on your spreadsheet then.
  5. As far as local scouting goes I'm sure their staff knows the WNY kids. When you're on the clock you should go BPA as most of us advocate. In my opinion, the most demanding fans in this regard are the Habs supporters, who want French speaking players. They have an entire junior league in their backyard yet only have a few of these guys on their team.
  6. I agree on letting him stay at centre to see how he performs there. He may get an upgrade at wing if someone from Rochester makes the jump. I want to see him put up some good numbers, but a bridge deal would help the team sort out some cap issues.
  7. Maybe Grigo comes back.
  8. As Neo stated, hope is not a strategy, but it's all I've got. I've been behind them for too long to change now. It's just PAINFUL to watch. We do have dumb and dumber odds of making it, but until we are 10-12 points out of contention I will hope. If I lived near Buffalo I would probably have seasons tickets, but that is because I am retired and love watching hockey.
  9. Draisaitl deal may haunt the Oilers. McDavid is the real deal, however. I know Leon was injured to start the season but I think he was more of a coattail rider than a Malkin. Malkin has played like an MVP with and without Crosby. Draisaitl is a big body and protects the puck well but he is not fast. Speed is a main component of the modern game. If he loses a step in a few years.... Doubt is beginning to creep in but I still think Sam may outperform Leon.
  10. Pretty good assets for Colorado. I don't think Duchene is worth all of that.
  11. Moulson waves his stick as guys blow the doors off of him. And Baptiste is in the press box.
  12. That's what I see in ESPN summary.
  13. Hope this PP is better than the first one. Let's go! What a shot by Jack, can't buy one.
  14. They're getting lots of practice on their lob passing.
  15. Moulson's not strong enough to get the puck to the point.
  16. Bad pinch by Fedun.
  17. Dallas guys suggest Lehner wear a bib as he's made a mess of those shots.
  18. Moulson skating backwards looked like a pylon. That's on Lehner.
  19. Damn, we had the puck all game until that shot.
  20. Switched to Dallas feed.
  21. My MSG feed is choppy and without audio.
  22. Already eclipsing the totals of their last Benoit.
  23. Remember the foot in the crease!
