Am I the only one that thinks the prospect tournament was too short? I thought it should be at least 4 games

I think you'll see it grow over the next couple years. It was pieced together pretty quickly. But it was still nice to get to see the kids before the start of camp.

I see the toy under the bed did little in this tourney

If you're referring to Reinhart, he had a slow start in game 1, but did get a nice goal in that game.

I didn't see game 2, but he did have 5 SOG.

That's all I got.

seems the new coach is going to have some big decisions to make for line combos next month

I love Patriot week

Going to the Patriots message board all they're doing is talking s hit about us I can't wait to murder them this week

No reason to not be pleased. His progress from last year to this year is very noticeable. The line combos are going to be all over the place for a bit I think. It's gonna take some time to figure out who works best with each other.

There's no guarantee that happens. As a matter of fact, with the way that Dwayne Allen managed to get open this past week, I wouldn't be surprised to see Gronk eat our D alive this week.

I'll save my comments for the Pats fans until after the game.

Agreed

But this team is going to be special I really think this Bills team it's just going to be like that 06 sabres team

I keep my excitement closed until the final whistle blows. I've seen too many games slip away to get excited in advance.

What I like out of Taylor so far is that he seems to remain calm and poised back there. I don't see the same panic in him when things start collapsing in front of him. That translates into his passing in those situations as well. The passes aren't wild and all over the place.

My concern is that he needs to protect himself better when he does decide to keep it and run. I also don't know how things will look when there's more game tape for people to study.
