  1. ROR guaranteed Blues would beat Avs. Avs sweep them 4 straight. Good riddance.šŸ˜œ
  2. Power has looked good in back to back games on a bad team. Hopefully they start to increase his ice time. Just keep him away from Colin MilleršŸ˜œ
  3. Havenā€™t been to the playoffs in 10 years, advocating not picking a coach because of his playoff record.šŸ¤£ If he can get us even a sniff of the playoffs, SIGN HIM UP.šŸ˜€
  4. Gallant has Team Canada humming!! Sweden is 0-2. With the pandemic, teams are icing their C lineups.
  5. Why was he fired by Florida and Vegas though? Both were surprise firings. The rumours are that he is very hard to deal with and ignores analytics. Rumours, not facts, but interesting that he was fired while his teams were both successful on the ice at that time.
  6. Huh, Finland is not weak and no one had him projected at 1st line centre. USA v Canada will be fun even though both have bad lineups. You are all in on Guenther but what are your thoughts if they go Power or Clarke with the pick?
  7. How much of a kickback are you getting if the Sabres draft him?šŸ˜œ
  8. The one Petersen kicked in his own net Beniers was in great defensive position and did his job. The other goal deflected in off Boyleā€™s stick, I donā€™t think Beniers was on the ice. Either way, I thought he was fine. Let the tournament play out. And you canā€™t possibly compare Power and Beniers playing in the Menā€™s WCs to Guenther playing in the U18s. That is ridiculous. If the Sabres hadnā€™t drafted Quinn last year then I wouldnā€™t mind Guenther at all but back to back high picks on RW seems redundant. But I wonā€™t be upset if they pick him and honestly we have no idea what is going to happen. Is everyone coming back and they hire a vet coach like Boudreau. Is everyone being traded and they are doing a hard rebuild? This might effect who they pick if they get young prospects back in trades. So many moving parts it is hard to tell who they might lean towards, especially not even knowing where they will pick yet; 1,2 or 3.
  9. Your tying yourself up in knots trying to crap on Beniers. Draft eligible players in Menā€™s WHCs donā€™t usually dress let alone play a regular shift. Guenther didnā€™t even get asked to Canada, is that a bad look? Your precious Raty didnā€™t even get asked to Finland, is that a bad look? Beniers looked like he belonged out there, that is all you are looking for. Power bet limited minutes for Canada but looked like he belonged too.
  10. Why would he? At this point the only guy I am not really interested in is Edvinsson because I question his hockey sense. Power, Clarke, Beniers, Hughes, Eklund and yes even Guenther I can live with.
  11. Petersen kicked the winning goal into his own net. Glad he didnā€™t sign here.šŸ˜œ
  12. Adams watches his Team Canada lose 2-0 to Latvia and slowly crosses him off the list.šŸ˜œ
  13. If they had settled on Granato they would not be wasting money on flying multiple coaches in for an interview. They donā€™t care about backlash, look at the season they just had. I think Adams wants to get this right. They probably have no problem going with Granato if he is the best candidate but if one of the interviews blows them a way and fits like a glove then they will hire that person. They are not going to hire Granato because he is the cheap option and yet turn around and spend a lot of money co ordinating to bring in a ton of coaches to interview to ā€œsave face.ā€
  14. The top 2 spots are determined by the lottery so the Sabres can choose 1st, 2nd or 3rd depending on how the lottery plays out. There is no great prize at #1 and no one can say the player at #1 will be better then #3 so it really is not a huge deal where they end up.
  15. Take the best run teams in any sport and I can guarantee you that the front office meets with ownership to share the plan/next steps. That is how modern sports work. That is part of the deal. Now you can hate if you believe the Pegulas are given too much input but no one has proof of how those meetings are going. But meeting and saying yeah or nah to the front officeā€™s plan is par for the course. Just be glad it is not a setup like Toronto where Adams and Karmanos would have to go in front of a Board of Directors, all with different ideas and try to sell their plan.
  16. Canada plays Latvia at 1:15pm today. Power is playing for Canada. Will be interesting to see him play with NHL players.
  17. Absolutely not. Even the top teenage goalies are a crapshoot and donā€™t become difference makers until their mid 20s. We have no idea if UPL or Portillo develop into franchise guys but they are both solid. Donā€™t use a top pick on an 18 year old goalie.
  18. Ha. That was my exact experience. Although if we had drafted Rossi and his Covid year happened it would be a year of hearing how Rossi will never play now and it was so Sabres to draft him.šŸ˜‚
  19. So do you think Sabres fans are overvaluing Eichel? Weā€™re you happy with the return for ROR? Was that proper value?
  20. TSN doesnā€™t know that Byfield is a non starter, they are guessing. And if he is then there is no deal with L.A. In what world do you trade a franchise 24 year old centre plus the first overall pick for a centre prospect. My God that is just beyond awful.
  21. Kevyn: ā€œJason, when we walk in the door, kiss the ring immediately.ā€šŸ˜œ
  22. This was the St. Louis Blues for like 25 years.
  23. https://therecipecritic.com/man-pleasing-meals/ pick a couple of these meals and eat while watching Dylan Guenther videos.šŸ˜œšŸ¤£
  24. They are a funny organization. I wouldnā€™t assume that.
