Derrico

I feel like he definetly has more than 1 missed game. Wasn't it like 4 or 5 in a row he was out for? Edit - Yes this article says he missed 5 games. Plus he was hurt 30 seconds into the game he got hurt. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/24265772/thomas-vanek-will-return-to-islanders-lineup-tonight

Reinhart with a goal in the subway series. Game tied at 2 near the end of the second.

Me too. I'm not happy about this at all. Thought TSN has done an excellent job on NHL coverage right from their broadcasts through trade deadline day and coverage of free agency. I'm never impressed with Sportsnet. They better up their game big time. Friggen Rogers throwing their money around again....

Agreed. Atleast with us bottoming out this season and hopefully next, we can add some quality to the quantity of picks we have. The future is bright. Albeit will take a few years as you mentioned. Under Patty I have alot more confidence in this rebuild.

So a few of the top prospects put up some points over the weekend. Here's the rundown. Dal Colle - 2GP 1G 3A Bennett - 2GP 1G 2A Ekblad - 2GP 0G 2A Reinhart - 2GP 5G 0A Draisaitl - 2GP 1G 3A

Another loss by vanek and the isles..... Still early but based on their play since the trade we may very well be getting their 2015 pick which is fine with me.

Yep, me too.

Dont' ruin this for me Liger :P It'd be an interesting spot we would be in if that played out. Do we go Ekblad there who may even be the best player in the draft, or take another forward like Leon or Dal Colle, possibly trade the pick? I think Reinhart is the consensus #1 right now but with some of the flaws I've read it's not like it's him or nothing this draft. Agreed. Although the Oil have spoken about trading their pick if they can get a top Dman.

Tank Nation rejoices! With the Oil win we're now 5 points clear of second last. That's a good thing right :blink:

Let's hope for some three point games lol.

Sabres have been getting some help lately as far as Tank Nation goes. The teams right above them in the standings have gone on some mini winning streaks. Edmonton has won 2 in a row Florida has won 2 in a row Calgary picked up a point last night and won 2 in a row before that Philly has gone 5-1-2 in their last 8 Ny Isles have been bad lately but that's more than ok Columbus picks up a win last night. No, it's not too early to watch out of town games as they relate to the draft :P

My guess is between 55 and 60 but I would certainly sign up for 50. That shoul be good enough for last and thus a top 2 pick.

No I confirmed to him that ekblad and reinhart were top two picks and it's mixed bag after that but I don't think the drop off is huge based on what scouts are saying.

Tough to say at this point. For what it's worth those two are pretty much the consensus top 2 but i watch dal colle regularity and would be happy to have him in our system. I think reinhart being a centre also really helps his stock.

Hey, I watch Dal Colle regularly :P Speaking of which he's got another 2 goals and an assist over the two games this weekend so far. Let's see how he does against Windsor tonight....

Tank Nation is still on but let's beat the snot out of T.O. back to back first.

I'm in that camp.

I'll be there and give a loud standing ovation when Ted stands behind the bench. Too bad many season ticket holders probably thought this game would be another train wreck and sold their tickets to leaf fans.

Wow, check out this article for anyone that hasn't heard any audio of Nolan. What amazing quotes, it's like night and day with him and Ron Rol. http://www.wgr550.com/The-Sabres-going-through-the-motions-ends-with-Nol/17753826

If anyone is listening to hockey hotline can you roll out some of what is being discussed?

Good point, we still have a few elephants in the dressing room.

Thank you Terry. It took a bit but you finally listened to your fans. You are still a great owner and I can't wait for this organization to move forward with Patty at the helm.

:worthy: :worthy: Is it too early for a beer?????? Oh wait, I'm 'working'. Should we be giving Bucky some love?

Is Darcy really out?!?!

Updates please for those of us at work....
