Apparently we like taking players about 1 round before they're expected to be drafted. That is fine if you have a GM who knows what he is doing, but...

So it all comes down to Columbus at home against Nashville and the Wild on the road at Colorado tomorrow... I hope the Avs are motivated!

6-0 Oilers over the Wild in the third period. Wow. There is still hope that we get another top-14 pick. The Wild have to go to Colorado, which is a tough place to play given the altitude.

I love that the nice older lady won Ryan Miller's jersey.

Vanek is $$$! Uh... Jochen? Are you jokin'? ...and Miller goes out a winner. :clapping:

A shootout is a fitting way for Miller to (potentially) end his Sabres career.

Dumb play by Porter to take the OT penalty.

:devil:

I don't miss Tyler Myers in the least bit.

Oof. Miller definitely blew that one. 1-1.

Oooohhhh.... 3-0 Oilers now at the end of the first period.

Nice save by Miller on Grabner.

Ennis goes after Hickey. Gets pummeled by Tavares. And, somehow the Sabres get two men in the box?

In Like Flynn!

Robert Woods is a good pick.

Sad news. I went to high school with his daughter and remember him as a very nice guy and an excellent sports writer.

If they can find a willing trade partner to trade back into the middle of the first round, that'd be the best possible outcome IMHO. So that is my prediction. I think they'll take Barkley over Nassib, but either would be fine. Barkley threw 6 TD passes against Syracuse last year and 5 in 2011, so Marrone is certainly familiar with him. I was fine with just TJ and Berman on ESPN. Then they go to 3... then 4... then 5... at some point you just have too many analysts all fighting to say a few words.

I'll be at the Preds - Flames game tomorrow night. I'm torn because a Calgary win would sure help the Sabres. I may have to secretly root for the Flames. This is our focus as fans now: http://www.nhl.com/i...=nav-stn-league

3-0 Wings. A win and they're within a point of Columbus and Minnesota with a game-at-hand over Columbus. We really need Minny to lose to the Kings tomorrow night. It'd be great if the Wild miss the playoffs since that would give us two top-14 draft picks.

Not a bad game to watch. And, at this point a regulation loss is just as well. The Jets needed that game.

Ott just rubbed out Clitsome in front of the net. ;)

Wow. Even though he didn't score, that move by Vanek was nasty. Not many guys can pull that off.

I think that shot went in off of Pardy. Hard to tell.

Scott on the same line as Gerbe is just funny.

Kyle Wellwood?
