Me too lol

Wow Canada was down 2-0 to the Swiss. Late goal by Strome makes it 2-1 after 1.

I don't remember it being this bad under the Ruff regime except for the playoffs. Maybe it is like this across the league now of days.

Awesome. Finally. Still no word on why he was out? DDB has put a real gag order over releasing injuries. First Bogo's long, 'unexplained' absence and now this.

:D Well played good sir

So 4 of the 5 teams make it from each Group with no byes in the elimination rounds? Is that how it always is? Love watching the round robbin but the tourney doesn't really start until the Quarters for the Big 5.

A big congrats to Juju Fish for taking home the 2015 Sabrespace Fantasy Football Championship! Thanks again to everyone for a great year. Look for an update to this thread again next August so I can attempt an end to my playoff drought.

I donno, only team I can think of that is actively tanking is Columbus. That's the only logic explanation for bringing in John friggen Tortorella to coach that team. The bottom of the league standings look pretty close until you realize the Jackets have played 4 more games than most of the other bottom feeders. The good ol Shart standings would show there's a decent gap between Columbus and everyone else right now.

Well there will be no repeat in the league. Good luck to Hank and Juju in the SS Fantasy Football finals!

Good post. If I knew the Sabres would get one more top 3 pick I would rather have that then a first round exit but based on the odds, I'd much rather make the playoffs then miss out by a couple of points. Things do look good for us in the not too distant future. Seeing Reinhart develop in front of our eyes is a thing of beauty.

Above are the lottery odds. The bottom four teams that miss the playoffs still have an over 90% chance that they don't win a top 3 pick. Sure it would be great to win the lottery but basic math shows the odds are still severely stacked against those teams. I would think GMTM would rather the Sabres make the playoffs and gain valuable experience for the young guns then go into another lottery in which the odds are still stacked against them winning. So many people have this dream that we will just miss the playoffs but win the lottery. Possible? Sure. But here are the odds.

Wow, I thought my $20 for a local shopping mall was a nice gesture.

I think he's going to the leafs but I'd take a run at him in the offseason as it appears like he may very well hit the open market. Only problem is that he may want to go back to being a center. If he was fine staying on the wing, a top 6 of ROR, Eichel, Reinhart, Kane, Ennis and Stamkos is pretty friggen awesome.

Have we seen Ennis Kane and Jack together yet? It doesn't ring a bell. Did Ennis get moved to play with Jack while Kane was hurt and then got hurt around the time Kane came back?

Picking up my last couple of Christmas gifts today and will be done shopping a full week before Christmas. First time ever I believe. Wrapping is almost done as well. Having some family over this weekend and will be partaking in a glass of wine or 8.

Impressive series of posts gentlemen :lol:

1-31-0 We just don't lose to the leafs at home. Don't care who's coaching, it's as inevitable as the sunrise.

My guess right now is Stamkos is as good as a leaf but who knows. Bob McKenzie said yesterday that the leafs would be a favorite but if he was to bet if Stamkos does not resign in Tampa and it's between Toronto or the rest of the field, he would take the field. I think I would still take Toronto.

That's why you were slacking on the GDT. Ok, I approve. Edit, no drop off in quality, thanks for stepping in TBJ.

I'm surprised how this Stamkos fiasco is playing out. He does seem as good as gone. Atleast Stamkos, Marner and Mathews will create a great rivalry with ROR, Reinhart and Eichel in the near future..... :ph34r:

All it takes is a random fan calling him out on the internet. Eichel has sure been lately.....

:w00t: Ok I laughed out loud after seeing that emoticon

Was just going to post this.

Wow, that puts into perspective how good he's been. He didn't seem to be quite as dominant last night as normal but he was fine. The color guy was sure pumping his tires. He will start getting league recognition soon if he keeps his play up.

The Swede that we don't need?
