You are pretty ok in my book, but its been kind of ridiculous here lately. If one of us farts when we go into a Toronto thread we get banned. How they know we're farting is beyond me. Must be the jetstream taking our farts up to TO and making their city smell nice.

The jetstream taking a fart from Buffalo to Toronto, and Toronto believing that something really wonderful happened, is now known as the Babcock effect.

Nobody thinks they are going to sign any free agents, and there is no free agent this year that would be a "big splash." It will be through a trade or RFA offer sheet.

Ryan O'Reilly or Tyler Toffoli will be a Buffalo Sabre by August...I would almost bet money on it. The same people (it's actually one person - and this person was in the room last year at the trade deadline) who said Evander Kane would be a Sabre, has said that one of these two will be had by Murray this summer.

I would bet on it being at the draft...with picks #21 and #31, plus another part. (Well, that would be the O'Reilly trade, Toffoli can't be until July 1st, unless Buffalo traded for him, saving LA the embarrassment of not being able to match the offer sheet.)

Either way, I expect them to be VERY busy this summer...I don't think the Bills will be the only team making big moves. (Two other names to watch for are Marcus Sorenson and Shane Prince...for the Amerks.)

You mean disco moving iginla to his off wing to cater to pascal dupius a few years back on the pens was a bad move by disco? Playing Derek engylland over Simon despres... I can keep going lol

He's not perfect, but he didn't put all those old, slow dmen on your roster. And you trade your 1sts every year so...

I love when people say he didn't develop talent. The penguins have literally been the worst drafting team over the last 12 years, and that's counting Crosby and malkin in those classes.

Remembering the discussion from 2 days ago about "Rick Nash" and how he doesn't have that 2nd Gear when its all on the line!

Evidence presented: Game 5 at MSG = 0 pts (No setup No Goals)

Game 7 at MSG = 0 pts (No Setup No Goals)

He is their leader, most offensively skilled Center and you barely heard his name mentioned throughout the game!

This was definitely a "Team Lose" but you have to have your Stars Step Up, NASH doesn't cut it! Never Has, Never will.

He is not, McDonagh is the captain and he played with a broken foot

He is not a Centre

Credit to Tampa, they played very well.

I'm laughing at that cray baby St.Louis but I really don't like the Lightning. Whatever. They have no chance against the West winner. Speaking of which, I really thought Anaheim would win the west easy. Have to give props to Chicago. I wouldn't hate to see them win it again. Just don't like the Ducks. Or Getzlaf. Or Perry.

Go Blakhawks.

If I want to go to a cup game, schedule says Ducks need to win

Selfish side of me wants the hawks though


Side note McDonagh is unreal to do what he did the last week

Main Point= Nash is their Most Talented Go To Guy, He doesn't Step Up when its all on the line! Has never, will never. (McD is a Beast and deserves the C)

Sometimes the MAIN IDEA is missed by those standing on the Freeway worried about a fly!

He would be a solid second Tier, Very Vanak like, You need a Star and he can follow but he doesn't lead, so yes and no on wanting him on the Sabres.

We tried for him, but he choose the Big City Lights, he just can't perform on Broadway.

P.S. How old is he? I see the Rangers dropping off after this year for sure.

And my point was he's not their main guy, yes he didn't help the cause in game 7 but singling him out is wrong.

What's that you were saying about main idea's and highways?

In the end, Tampa was just built that much better, just gotta tip your cap.
