They are? I don't think a coach would ever come out and say severe. I think moderate is the worst one can give in coachspeak. Also saying weeks vs days to my ears is hearing more like 8 weeks rather than 4-6. Hope I'm wrong. Wow, the bolded is very debatable.

I must have missed the memo that this is the 2006 Conference Finals

Wow Who's next?

Don't see the D pairings listed in here but looks like it's Risto and Kulikov. Thank God DD came to his senses....

Keep the tweets coming!

I thought ROR's back was too bad to take faceoffs? Maybe Reinhart gets some time centering the line?

He was great in training camp and preseason. I know it's a big jump to actual games but Matt Ellis he is not.

You may want to rebalance those divisions Wildcard lol (or better yet remove and just have one division since there are only 8).

This thread has become a rallying cry. I love it. God bless Sabrespace. We're Buffalo fans, we know adversity. We see it every season. It is our time. Despite the pairings our D is light years ahead of last season. Welcome back Ennis, welcome back a new Girgs, welcome back Lehner, welcome Kulikov. We will see you soon Okposo. We can and will do this. Hover around .500 until we get Jack back.

This is signature worthy. Well done good sir. But please don't lose faith. You're the last one I know not conforming to 'Because Buffalo'.

DDB gonna DDB.....

Bad karma man

Yes but some guys are eligible for multiple positions.

This. Not saying Matthews isn't talented but wow Ottawa and Toronto d and goaltending looks horrendous. Watching this game actually makes me more optimistic that our division can be had.

1030 is fine But only to stay in Laetitia good grace.

We need Lehner. He was important before but now it's Defcon 5. We need to hold onto .500 for the first 25-30 games of the year until he's back. Bayly getting the promotion I assume?

My God where can I sign up for 4-6 weeks??

MODO ain't ever making it to Buffalo is he....

DDB says they're waiting for the ankle to 'calm down' and then will evaluate his movement.

Am I reading this right? Sabrespace is ready to jump off the figurative cliff and PA, Pi and yse are the three displaying the most optimism? Am I in a dream right now??

Because Buffalo????

Wow. Maybe I am a homer for really believing they should make the playoffs this year? Or TSN is bush league. I think I know the answer.

I will start by adding the leafs. Right now we have to be the better team. The experience Reinhart and Eichel got from last year (think how they looked second half vs first) will be huge. Matthews and Marner will be good but it will take time. Long term, as the teams are currently constructed, I like Buffalo more then Toronto. My fear is come free agency they may be more likely to sign some big names. Sure Stamkos didn't sign there but Tavares is lurking and I think when they start winning some games, there will be some good players who want to make that jump over. Still, FA is not how one builds a core team. Either way it should be one hell of a rivalry for the next decade plus. Expect some playoff series to go through each other in the not too distant future....

If one more person wants to join we can add Neo as well. Right now the league only has 8 so 10 would be a perfect number.

Ok no worries.
