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.

The Buffalo News, after sending out a letter to the editorial staff describing dire financial issues, has bought out three long-time sports writers within the past week.

Don’t be surprised if veteran NHL coach Dan Bylsma re-surfaces this week behind an NHL bench as an assistant coach. DET is the most likely landing spot.

So now that the schedule is out, we have to pick a game.

Oddly enough, the last Saturday home game of the year is February 23rd at 1:00pm against the Washington Capitals.

This also happens to be my birthday.

Of course, there are also two Sunday home games in March against St Louis and Columbus that would be up for consideration...

So JBott is about to put his stamp on what type of team he wants.

Risto and Larsson are traded to Edmonton for #10 pick and Oscar Klefbom.

ROR, Bogo and #10 traded to Arizona for #5, Christian Dvorak, and Brendan Perlini.  Sabres select Brady Tkachuk with #5.

Reinhart traded to Calgary for Dougie Hamilton.

Sabres add Hamilton, Klefbom, Dvorak, Perlini, and Tkachuk.

Sabres lose Risto, ROR, Reinhart, Larsson, and Bogo.

Hamilton= or > than Risto

There are rumblings tonight that MON will be acquiring Max Domi....Alex Galchenyuk is part of the return. More to come.

Arizona makes it Official

TRADE ALERT: #Coyotes acquire Galchenyuk from Montreal for Domi. More details to come.

The board has certainly done a good job at reining in the Rasmus Dahlin hype.

Preliminary Prospect Rankings are now coming out.  

Craig Button released his yesterday:

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...

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.

Spinning off of the hobbies thread, it looks like many of us spend time with a good book (or three). So what are you currently reading?

For work/school:

Just finished CCTV and Policing by Benjamin Goold (2004). A study of how camera center operators make decisions about who to target for surveillance, and how CCTV has affected police work.

In queue I have Theorizing Surveillance: The Panopticon and Beyond and Surveillance Studies: An Overview, both by David Lyon.

For pleasure:

From 31 Thoughts Podcast Elliott Friedman

I’ll tell you something, I’ve got to say this: I think the trade offers are going to be really interesting,” predicted Friedman while answering a listener question in the Ask 31 section of the podcast. “Buffalo is not trading their pick; but I think that even from 2 on down, I think there’s going to be offers. I don’t see Carolina trading their pick either. I think it’s more likely they keep the player.

“But I do think Montreal is going to get tempted... Читать дальше...

Per John Shannon

From Bob’s Twitter, some expected news

“BUF is not expected to give goaltender Robin Lehner his qualifying offer and he should be added to the list of UFA goalies available this summer as Sabres are likely to look elsewhere for a partner for Linus Ullmark”

And so we start again
