US could use one about now.



Seriously though anything short of a CAN-USA final would be disappointing considering the final is in toronto.

Not happening. The US has the same problem as last year. Lots of talent, very few actual gamers.

That does not look imminent.

Not much out of Eichel either I'm guessing?

Correct.

Respectfully to you Goose, If I wanted to learn something about hockey, this certainly wouldn't be the place in all fairness.
You're one the few that actually know hockey here.
Anyone that blames anything that is going on with this roster on Nolan needs to just stop watching the game, period.
- BuffaloHardHat

No, you're really just reading more into their criticism than you should. Stop taking this place so seriously. You act like Nolan is your best friend or something. It's not blame, it's simply criticism.

What the frank is going on in this game?

I hope our guys just loose their poop

Can we reach a new record of minor penalties called in a game?

Hopefully, this turns things.

Side note, Sabres could use a guy like DeAngelo. Not saying they should go after him specifically but I'd look for someone like that with the Isles or blues pick.

Yup.

That and someone that can enter the zone on the PP like Milano

Agreed.

That rush by Eichel though. Oilers know what's up

I'm not sure Milano is going to be able to do that in the NHL. There's a lot less room to do what he does at that level.

He's an elite stick handler. That will translate

This Schmaltz kid looks like the stage is simply too big for him.

You also have to have a lot of speed, especially at that size. You could be right, and I hope you are, but he looks like a guy teams will just swallow up.

He will never be an elite scorer, but skating and stick handling is his thing.

He will be a PP guy IMO at the next level.

He's like a lesser Pat Kane

Interestingly enough, other than the 2 I bolded, the rest are all improvements month over month....

- buffalofan19

What bothers me about him is he's trying to do too much with the puck.
