It was more Roy and Tiny Tim Connolly.

Connolly behind the bar pouring shots all over women when he is on the IR

Roy for playing soft likes he's been out all night drinking.

Kane doesn't play soft

Would I prefer my teams players to be in and not partying it up in all hours of the night? Absolutely but I also realize they are young with money. It's gonna happen.

This right here. I was a roy basher and enjoyed taking shots at his off ice activities but it had everything to do with how he was ON the ice.

Kane is a likeable player on the ice. His numbers have been a little disappointing thus far but when you watch him its hard not to like what he provides from an on ice perspective. Other than shooting high and wide

You really need to wait for the facts before going out and condemning him . That is what most smart people are doing . But that says it all doesn't it.

I wouldn't let my sister near Kane now, would you?

I feel like Kane might be the hockey version of Johnny Manziel. He just doesn't get it. Some people can't get away with the same things other people do

You may very well be correct in saying that. It's a pretty fair analogy.

Eichel and Larsson swapped. From this morning's skate:

McGinn-O'Reilly-Reinhart
Girgensons-Eichel-Gionta
Kane-Larsson-Ennis
Deslauriers-Legwand-Foligno/Moulson

I give the edge to Puljujarvi because he's a beast and Laine supposedly has consistency issues but honestly i'd be happy either way.

Both are studs. i think we may have a better shot at Laine tho unless we are drafting top 3

And part of that problem is it's hard to teach offensive schemes that match things like the trap unless you've got the talent for it (how i feel about our powerplay most nights)

Good chance if you mapped this out all roads would lead back to the salary cap.

- Sabresfan-365


While the cap is part of it, the heavy handed coaching with their various defensive sysrtems which relies quite a bit on obstruction is the real problem because the obstruction and interference is being allowed.

if Chychrun is there, do you grab him over a winger?

BPA is always the route but I would prefer a stud winger

Tkachuk is the second best player in the draft IMO, followed by Chychrun and Puljujarvi

I am so torn on wanting them to tank the rest of the year

there are going to be 5 really good players in this draft, all star talent

I think Murray knew he was a risk.

I don't want to throw Kane under the bus and ban him from hockey, but this HAS to be a little bit troubling.

Puljujarvi has 10 pts in three games now.


He's just a beast, Murray's type moreso than Tkachuk.

I find myself in this same position. I am not really torn, but if they dont find consistency it doesnt bother me to finish bottom 5 and hopefully win the lottery.

I think it does more for the future to get one more top 5 pick and use it to draft a player than any other option.
