Very bored and can't sleep.  I didn't find a thread like this (though there's likely to be one with this group), so I thought what a good time to revel in Sabres past glory.  With all the uninspiring players on the team now, I thought I'd give my picks on the best All-Time Sabres line up.  I've been watching since 1970, so I've seen them all.  There were some really good times.

Who's in? I'm not but this deserves discussion.

We have a Bogo bunker so this seems similar.

Washington visits for a matinee today. They will be wearing their Winter Classic Jerseys today as well.

Who is going to watch?

The Sabres hit an all time low tonight by being shutout for the third straight time.

Sabres are 31st in GF and it’s not even close
Sabres are 29th in GA
Sabres are in 30th place in the NHL, tied for last in pts.

We thought the offical tank teams were awful, but this is the worst hockey I have ever seen.

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...

SMFH...

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...

This may or may not need it's own topic but I figure at the very least me and liger will enjoy having a topic to discuss our mancrush on John Oliver

The prehistory of this thread comes from me and Taro talking about the line matching during the preseason. It's hard to pay attention watching online, so I had to look at how Housley is matching lines using the NHL's html reports. Normally I would sit on this for a while, because it's difficult to tell if the numbers are right, but this is interesting for me, so I'm going to go ahead and post, and if I decide the numbers are wrong, there's worse things in life than being wrong on the internet.

I think it is safe to say Ullmark will be with the Sabres next year.  I look for Buffalo to move on from Lehner and Johnson and look for another veteran who has played number #1 minutes.  So who is the best fit to join Sabres.

Shouldn't someone start a 2017-2018 prospects thread?

So who are our top 10 prospects heading into camp and which prospects have a shot at making the team at some point this season?

2. Guhle

Wild do need to clear one contract to eventually sign Jordan Greenway

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?

This forum is always good for advice on topics outside of hockey and I bet this will be no different. I know Bio has regaled us with stories of her house nightmares, so maybe others have things to contribute?

Although home-ownership not in our immediate plans, Josie and I talk frequently about our desire to stop throwing money into the apartment rental void. Our lives are still a little too unpredictable at the moment, but I think within the next two years I want to take a stab at it. 

Now... Читать дальше...
