That's right.  It's time.  

Vegas makes it's way into Buffalo.  Yours truly will be there along with many other insane SabreSpacers looking to bring the mojo.  

Look.. we know where things have gone.  We hope to see where things are going.  The Buffalo Amerks are ready to take on the upstarts who have taken the league by storm.

It's a 1pm start which means even if you needed to get to Cracker Barrel you've got plenty of time.  If you needed to make sure that you weren't screwed over by losing an hour tonight... Читать дальше...

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

I think Sam Reinhart's play over the last 20 games deserves it's own thread. He has played at a point per game pace over the last 22-23 games and is starting to have the impact a #2 overall is expected to have on team success.

This is not a list in any particular order. I will add players as I find NCAA seniors who were drafted in 2013 to 2015.

1) David Pope - LW 6'3 200lbs U Nebraska-Omaha
Drafted by Detroit 4th Round

August 2017 – After a disappointing sophomore season at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, where he had four goals and eight points in 31 games, Pope broke out last season with 13 goals and 31 points in 34 games. He showed... Читать дальше...

Looks like Minnesota's season is 98% going to continue as they are 98% sure of qualifying for the tournament.

So we will still have to wait a couple of weeks to officially start the #caseywatch

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.

Kevin Porter named Rochester Captain.

If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

Per Sabres

Out indefinitely

From the Podcast:The Sabres Rebuild is bigger than Botterill could have imagined. There is dysfunction at every level of the organization.

They tried to create a trade market for Kane and Lehner and they were unable to do it.

Internally the organization does not feel that Ullmark is ready to shoulder a full season’s worth of work and is he still is a year away. They wonder if he goes back to Rochester and if they need to bite the bullet and sign Lehner for one more year

Which players have Trade Value as the team... Читать дальше...

Take a read through this twitter thread:

The long and short of it is: Putin owns SKA and the league has been completely rigged this year to make them win. They don't have to pay attention to salary caps, but everyone else does. Now the games are being straight up fixed, with phantom penalties being called against opponents, and no-calls going the other way. Meanwhile, the Russian equivalent of the Charlestown Chiefs is...

Here we are with another game against the “elite” Toronto Leafs. As usual, there is another article from the Toronto media how great Toronto’s turnaround has been, how they are an elite team and the Sabres are regressing. As usual they ignore that the Leafs have stunk for 50 years. No Conference Championships, no Cups, no President’s Trophies and only one division championship in 50 years. They also ignore how this rebuilt Toronto team has it’s own decade of true ineptitude. JVR was 2nd overall in 2007. Читать дальше...
