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

agreed,but at a snail's pace

I thought the team was turning the corner in the win streak, I drank the kool aid, I feel shame

You think the college game has any effect on these players playing so many games in so many nights ? Guys look fatigued and not dialed in much at all

Some college teams play 3 in 4 nights but its not the norm. It could be but I wouldn't look too much into that

They looked phenomenal as the tournament went on in 2013. If it is a factor, it means their conditioning is terrible.

It's definitely small increments, but the way I look at it is at least there has been some sort of improvement. It would be a lot worse if things kept getting worse month over month. I think it shows progress, and mostly because of the kids. It's the difference in them being more seasoned as time goes on.

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.

bolts brass are high on him



Tampa Bay Lightning GM Steve Yzerman thinks of Dan Boyle when evaluating Anthony DeAngelo.
The Lightning took DeAngelo with the 19th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. "He's a guy that controls the game from the back end and can really skate and can really move the puck," Yzerman said. "I think your first impression of him, the way he wears his equipment, the way he skates, and he’s a right-handed shot, it's a good comparison to Dan Boyle. I don't know if he’s going to turn into Dan Boyle, but we'd be thrilled if he did. But that's who he reminds me of and the style of game that he has." DeAngelo certainly has the offensive potential to become a great option in fantasy leagues down the road. He had 15 goals and 71 points in 51 OHL games in 2013-14.

I think it will get better when the ufa's are moved, not the wins and losses but the play on the ice

just not sure how much better

When I watch sports I feel like the mom from Buffalo '66

I think the biggest factor will just be how the kids progress. If they keep improving things will get better overall. It's just a matter of them really finding their stride and finding consistency to their game.

That's crazy? I still wouldn't even consider it.

Larkin is doing well against 18 and 19 year olds.

Grigorenko and Hodgson were great in the WJC. It doesn't always immediate or ever translate

I think if Myers does get traded it's not going to be for the haul that most people think or expect. But i won't be the least bit disappointed if we do get a haul for him.

Dear USA,

Man the eff up.

Crashing the net, what a novel idea.

If he doesn't get a "haul" we won't be traded.

There is literally no reason to trade him unless you are getting an overpayment

Somebody please make a play.

Murray holds all the power for sure. Hopefully a team like Detroit gets desperate to improve around the deadline. Myers fits in great with our rebuild, I'm totally fine with him being a 3/4 defenseman here when this team hits it's potential.

Eichel having a very bad day.

We just don't deserve it

All passing/dangle no finish at all.

Reminds me of the 06-07 Sabres at times. Trying to hard to make the pretty play. Also I still don't get the 5-3 PP with 3 guys at the point

This is definitely Canada's tournament to lose, that team is stacked. So many good players on that squad. We just don't have the depth unfortunately. I like demko though I wish we could have snagged him. Anyone know what's going on with former U.S jr starter Jack Campbell out in Dallas?

They aren't coached to play to their strengths it seems

The Canadian team was younger than the US last year, and they outplayed them badly. And then they laid an egg against Russia two days later.

Good things happen when you shoot the puck!!!!

Double shift Larkin (Larkin needed to be on the ice during that 5-3)
