In a few threads we have discussed how craptastic Montreal is and how the Bruins are trending down. I wanted to centralize that discussion. I think Buffalo is on the rise. They have depth and talent. Our defense and GT is a question but I think compared to Montreal, NYR, Boston, and Ottawa that we are trending in the right direction. So which team in the Eastern Conference is the biggest dumpster fire or soon to be dumpster fire (within 2 years)? I had this to say about Boston: 2014 #25 - David Pastrnak, not a bad pick here but honestly I am taking Adrian Kempe if I am Boston #56 - Ryan Donato, not terrible but Kirkland, Dvorak, Jonas Johansson all sitting around raises and eyebrow Then this ###### happened. I have never seen a worse series of first round picks in my life. If Boston had drafted Zboril, Connor, Barzal, they would have had an amazing draft class. Or Zboril, Connor, Boeser and again what an amazing first round... instead they take freaking Senyshyn and DeBrusk. DeBrusk might have been okay but then Boeser, Connor and Barzal (who all were ranked higher) played so much better. 2015 #13 - Jakub Zboril, a little early but a good first round pick #14 - Jake DeBrusk, way early but I guess if you really want him, still confusing with who else was on the board #15 - Zachary Senyshyn, no just no. Boeser, Connor, Barzal all on the board and they take a guy who was slated for the mid to late 2nd at best. I need to break down how bad this is. Let's forget Zboril for a touch. This is their 2015/2016 seasons ppg Debrusk - 1.066ppg WHL Senyshyn - 0.985ppg OHL Boeser - 1.429ppg NCAA Connor - 1.868ppg NCAA Barzal - 1.517ppg WHL For comparison Eichel was 1 year younger but put up 1.775ppg in his NCAA year 2016 #14 - Charlie McAvoy, I had them taking him and this is a good pick #29 - Trent Frederic, the f#ck? He was graded out to late 2nd or early 3rd round guy, projects to be a 2nd line winger at best and they drafted him. Could have had Asplund, Laberge, Hajek, Mascherin, Debrincat but nope they took Trent Frederic... #49 - Ryan Lindgren, about where he should have gone but Clague and Grundstrom still sitting there and both still ranked higher than Trent Frederic.

Hello, my baby Hello, my honey Hello, my ragtime gal Give me some goals on fire Baby, my pants are tighter If you refuse me It will abuse me Give this dog a bone Oh baby, tune your tone And bring this season home Yoooouuuuurrrrrr Buffalo Sabres, much like the monster that emerges from a man's chest after dicey space-diner food (change your meals to the soup, folks), your Buffalo Sabres will look to break through the rib cages holding these Rags together, and show the NHL world that yes, we are indeed headed for a 26 point improvement over last season. Coming off a huge win against the Toronto Maple Laughs, the Sabres look to continue their winning ways against a very formidable Rangers team. The Sabres win on Thursday night saw Johan Larsson and COR combine for 4 goals, 2 each, and Kadri being a bigger bitch than Frodo on Mt.Doom. Jack Eichel will look to get a little more touch in his game, and our defense still has....na ###### it, they know they blow The Rangers are 4-3-3 in their last 10, and are coming off a 4-3 loss in Carolina on Thursday. A game in witch Eric Staal proved to Carolina that yes, all of the Staal brothers are indeed overrated.
