A new thread to discuss all things about the beautiful game.

I'll start with:

Some things never change. Beckham will not be bending it in the next LA Galaxy match. He has been suspended for "provocative behavior", which earned him a yellow card. That warning put him over the magic number and was suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

EDIT: Below is a link to the story.

Per Sabres PR

Put him on Jack’s or Casey’s Wing

Scandella and Risto are a given.

Guhle looks ready for an NHL role.

Nelson (UFA) and Antipin (RFA) are showing improvement and easily could be in the mix next season.

McCabe is a steady cheap D who was playing good hockey before he got hurt.

Bogo, aka Mr. Glass, is still under contract for 2 more years and Baloo, aka Mr Turnover, is also under contract for next season.  

Is that our 8 for next season? I still think it's missing a true game breaker, but that doesn't look terrible. Читать дальше...

From the start of the season to Dec 27th (37 games), the #Sabres powerplay went 13/110 (11.8%). That was tied with CBJ for dead last in the NHL.

In the 42 games since then, they are 33/136 (24.3%) with the man advantage. That ranks 6th in the NHL over that stretch.

I don't think they will make the playoffs next season, but I think there are some underlying numbers to suggest the team is actually starting to improve. Читать дальше...

OK, well I stole this concept from someone I know who's in the business, who was telling me his opinion on the Sabres.

The Sabres complete there two game road trip in Toronto Tonight with the chance to take the season series 3-1. Which team shows up?

Rak needs to weigh in the stats angle of translating NCAA stats to the NHL, but what should be our realistic expectations for Casey for the rest of this year and next season? Do these expectations change if he plays top 6 wing or 3rd line center? Does he even make the Sabres to start next season? If he does make the Sabres, what can we expect production wise?

Here is some food for thought
O’Regan freshman numbers at BU - 16g 22a for 38 pts
Eichel at BU 26g 45a for 71 pts

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...

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?

WATCH | HC Chris Taylor announces captain and assistant captains for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

Who's doing it? I know Chz is. I think ink mentioned it?
 

I'm starting to come around on the idea. I have a car that is perfect for it and I like the idea of being able to just fire the app up when I'm bored and take a couple fares. 

Has it been worthwhile or a waste of time?

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?
