Let's get on with it.  We have a winning streak to continue.  Apparently Cory Schneider is injured?  Oh, and Stafford plays for NJ now.  I didn't know that...

Look for something like

#Sabres  lines are Kane-Eichel-Okposo, Wilson-ROR-Reinhart, Girgensons-Larsson-Pominville, Nolan-Josefson-Baptiste... Pouliot and ERod also out there....

Kane back to top line.

Defense. 4 8. 82 41. 6 55. 19 93

Well...

Preseason schedule is out.

2017-18 season schedules are coming out 3 o'clock this Thursday.

Did you here that Ott is now an Assistant Coach for the Blues?

I'm really going to need Jack to pot a goal. Jason Pominville was the last sabre to have a goal in the ASG. That was 6 years ago. Zemgus didn't register a point and ROR and KO has assists in 2016 and 2017. I'd like to see Jack show some league dominance in this meaningless game.

While this forum sure likes sitting on their computers or phones wasting time talking about food, beer, liquor and sometimes even sports, I can't imagine we're all maintaining a sedentary lifestyle.

So let's have a thread about it. We can discuss what we do for exercise, our fitness goals, accomplishments, failures, questions, etc.

As for myself I'm an active cyclist, beer league hockey player, and I run when the tendonitis in my knee isn't acting up. Thanks to my job and all of... Читать дальше...

#Sens are closing in on a deal for Lehner with the Sabres. Expect a No. 1 pick to be part of the trade and perhaps David Legwand.

I really hope we're not giving up a 1st rounder for a goalie...in GMTM we trust..

The Sabres have scored a league low 114 goals

Top 5 forwards (KO, ROR, Jack, Sam, Kane) 68 goals (60%)
Remaining forwards plus callups - 38 goals (33%)
13 D - 8 goals (7%)

Last season (199 goals)
Top 5 - 108 (54%)
Other Forwards - 74 - (37%)
D - 17 (9%)

Last year we seemed to have better secondary scoring because of Gionta, Moulson and Foligno.

Preliminary Prospect Rankings are now coming out.

You are seeing more and more Dmen under 6'0 on these lists.

Kids I will be keeping a close eye on this year are:

1) Adam Boqvist - Swedish RHD. Arguably the best player in this years Ivan Hlinka Tournament.  5GP 1G 7A  (lottery pick)

2) Bode Wilde - RHD US National Team Dman who will be attending Harvard this fall. Читать дальше...

Mahomes is the guy. Take him

Makes sense...the only guy who actually plays hard every night and is having a career year, has good possession numbers on an abysmal possession team...but yeah, lets trade him...

I think there is a thread for this already, but I could not find it.

A good friend and I watched *Tooth Fairy* last evening.

He got it for his kids to watch in 2010.  It was really good, surprisingly enough.  A hockey themed tooth fairy tale.  Two grown men with tears in their eyes at the happy ending.

Per Sabres

#Sabres  defenseman Zach Bogosian will undergo hip surgery next week.

The procedure has an estimated recovery time of 4-6 months. As a result, Bogosian will remain on injured reserve for the duration of the season, but is expected to be ready for the start of 2018 training camp.
