Around the NHL 2016-2017

[Sabre fan]

In so many cases it comes down not to skill and ability but effort and attitude.  He seems to think the game should be handed to him.  I have no doubt he's capable, but he just isn't willing to work for it.

I kinda thought maybe the trade to St. Louis would help but obviously I was wrong. he is pretty  much done...sad really

Hopefully he's scowling but being canvased soon to return to buffalo as our next HC! ☺☎❤

And violently assaulting a "star" rookie.

[shrader]

Assuming they get him signed, what do they do to move on from the Lehtonen/Niemi two-headed monster?  Each has a year left on their contracts so can they actually find a trade partner or do they wind up buying out either of them?

He definitely oversold that one.  NS's link pretty much sums up the reason for the fine, that it was automatic for being his second offense.

[That Aud Smell]

Definitely some embellishment there.

Well to be fair to Darcy, he only gave up a 5th for him, so he didn't value him much at all.  On the other hand, that's all Darcy did at the 2002 deadline and the Sabres missed the playoffs.  Great year by Miro though, and the first post-Peca season.

Good find.

 

Connolly at the height of his powers -- and the league at the peak of its no-clutch, no-grab episode -- was spectacular.

Amazing that he never scored 20 goals in a season.

[That Aud Smell]

The confluence of those 2 things was a solid 3 week span.  Good times.

 

Was it that fleeting?
