5) ...the stampede of adoring fans after the Sabres win the cup in 2018-19

[bcsaberks]

1. As a homer, yes, but I don't think Minnesota or Chicago or NE are going to roll over.  Assets are in place.  Location is solid, access to Southern Ontario is key.  But I think we need a couple of those fancy prep schools to top it off.

2. DB = has another meaning already, for example the cross-fitter doing his self-mandated stretching at the crowded brew pub last Saturday night.  DDB it is.

3.  10

4.  50%

5.  ...TBN.

2. "Disco Dan" wore on me reeeaalllly quick....

3. 8 years

4. As of right now 55%. Even last season this young team showed some flashes. Add Kane, Eichel and another forward 80%

5. The clap

[SwampD]

I love how TSC keeps coming up. He should worry about it, though. They have been right about almost everything they have been complaining about for the past decade, so he better watch his step. If he missteps, they will call him on it.

I always have trouble knowing who's on what team, but isn't DDB being embraced by Team Storm Cloud?

And Blue was his biggest critic right? And isn't he with the Kittens?

 

This is all so confusing.

1. Should be with the facilities we have and with Bylsma and Eichel joining.

2. We can use DDB (DB is already Danny Briere in my mind) just please no "Disco Dan" stuff.

3. He will coach beyond his current contract.

4. 40%, but it will be close. First or second team out.

5. Battista. Obviously.

1. I'll take issue with the use of "the" there -- like an airline, USA Hockey can have several hubs, and Buffalo can readily be (is already?) one.

2. I'm going with DB, but will accept all variations mentioned upthread.

3. I'll give an over-under of four. And I am taking the over.

4. 17% (meant to signify a 1-in-6 shot).

5. Ripper's egg farts.

1. Something postive for Buffalo... You sure?

2. When pissed at him.... Fing Blysma

3. 10 ??? Who knows... Or better question, who gets fired first TM or big B

4. 10%, the power of 10?

5. Snowbanks wind and a 10 mile wide snow squall.

5. Ripper's egg farts.

As God is my witness, I just put egg salad in the fridge for lunch. I like it chilled.

[Doohicksie]

 

1. Should Buffalo be the hub for USA hockey?  (Team USA,  Juniors, Women, Sled, etc). (yes/no) - Yes.  (Should?  Yes.  Will it happen?  Who knows?)

2. What should be forum shorthand for Dan Bylsma, just DB or DDB  for Disco Dan Bylsma)?  DDB.

3. How many years will Dan Bylsma last in Buffalo?  He will be extended beyond his 5 years.

4. As a percentage,  the chance a Dan Bylsma led Buffalo Sabres make the playoffs in 2015-16?  50/50

[nfreeman]

 1.       Should Buffalo be the hub for USA hockey?  (Team USA,  Juniors, Women, Sled, etc). (yes/no)

 

Yes.

 

2.       What should be forum shorthand for Dan Bylsma, just DB or DDB  for Disco Dan Bylsma)?

 

DDB

 

3.       How many years will Dan Bylsma last in Buffalo?

 

I think if the Sabres are in the conf. finals by year 4, DDB will get a 3-year extension that summer, which would put him at 8 contracted years.

 

That's going to happen.

 

7 years in total.

 

4.       As a percentage,  the chance a Dan Bylsma led Buffalo Sabres make the playoffs in 2015-16?

 

I agree with those upthread who have said that it really depends on whether they can add, this summer, a good goalie, a good top-6 forward and a good top-4 D.  

 

I expect those players to be added.

 

50%.

Winter is coming.

Throw some bacon in there, make some toast and you've got a really nice sandwich.
