That Aud Smell Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Doesn't Des need one more game for the expansion draft, or something close to that? I think that may be correct. 40 games? Quote
woods-racer Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 I think that may be correct. 40 games? That is correct. He has 39 games in going into tonight. Quote

Doohicksie Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Tough on McCabe, but, Lord -- he earned a game in the press box over the past couple of games. ...although his problems were not the type a pressbox visit will help. It isn't like he needs to see the whole ice; he needs to NOT WHIFF THE PUCK. If only Vegas was licking its lips at the opportunity to ###### the worst forward in the NHL... sn a tch Really? Quote

It isn't like he needs to see the whole ice; he needs to NOT WHIFF THE PUCK. Really? Really what? Pacioretty - Danault - Radulov Galchenyuk - Shaw - Lehkonen Byron - Plekanec - Gallagher King - Mitchell - Flynn What a forward group they have. Quote
WildCard Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Really what? Pacioretty - Danault - Radulov Galchenyuk - Shaw - Lehkonen Byron - Plekanec - Gallagher King - Mitchell - Flynn What a forward group they have. How in the hell is Galchenyuk not a center in that forward group? What??? Quote
dudacek Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 McCabe, Smith and Carrier will sit. Falk, Deslauriers and Moulson will play. Makes sense. Make the best of a meaningless game by playing the guys that have a future here. Quote
WildCard Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Montreal has won 5 in a row, and we're playing with our irons now. This game is going to be a slaughter. Can't say I'm upset about that Quote

Can't say I'm upset about that On the bright side, all this practice should allow us to minimize that slice and shave a few strokes off the handicap. Amirite? Quote
Doohicksie Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Really what? Really? That's a banned word? (Questioning the filter, not you.) Quote
MattPie Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 On the bright side, all this practice should allow us to minimize that slice and shave a few strokes off the handicap. Amirite? Unfortunately, they're struggling with Bylsma's golf coaching; hit a wedge off the tee, and then a fairway driver and hope it lands on the green. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Really? That's a banned word? (Questioning the filter, not you.) Ah, gotcha. Yeah, pretty weird. Quote

Can't say I'm upset about that 100% Sabres win because that's what they do when nobody cares anymore. It's the Buffalo way....... Quote

Taro T Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Really? That's a banned word? (Questioning the filter, not you.) There are a few seemingly innocuous words that get popped. The 2nd part of dingdong also is a no no. Quote
pi2000 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Doesn't Des need one more game for the expansion draft, or something close to that? Each team must have a minimum number of "eligible" forwards.... and BUF already has reached that number with or without D-Lo. He's still eligible to be picked regardless of how many games he's played. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 So we're playing Des over Carrier to give ourselves a better chance to win on fan appreciation night? haha Quote

pi2000 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 So we're playing Des over Carrier to give ourselves a better chance to win on fan appreciation night? haha I should clarify... each team must expose at minimum 2 forwards and 1 defenseman who meet the games played requirement (40 this year, or 70+ the last two years combined) and are under contract through 2017-18. D-Lo is already compliant because he played 70 games last season AND he's under contract through 2017-18. That said, BUF currently has 11 forwards who meet the games played requirement, but only 7 are under contract through next season: ROR Kane Okposo Moulson Ennis D-Lo Carrier ....so they must expose at least 2 of the above. Moulson and D-Lo seem like obvious choices.... some would argue Ennis but he's shown flashes of his old self lately but he's not very good defensively so unless he plays top 6, i'd try to move him as part of a deal for a veteran checking C or D help because shots against are too high which hurts our team corsi but others think it's the other way around if had a better puck control strategy it would limit shots against blah blah blah but I digress.... On defense you only need to expose at minimum 1 player. BUF has 5 players who meet both the requirements. Risto Bogo Gorges McCabe Faulk Bogo, duh. For goalies, there is no games played requirement, but they must be under contract through 2017-18, or RFAs after this season. Both Lehner and Ullmark will be RFAs... and Lehner protected so thats that. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 What's amazing is that Dan watches Carrier play a game that might actually be effective with what we do, and decides that it isn't what we need, and sticks the slowest man in the universe, Lord Moulson, in his place. Claps his hands together. Pats himself on the back. Quote

Trettioåtta Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Everyone see what ROR said? I tried finding it on the forum, but didn't know which thread it would be posted in (as ever) Quote
