Super Troopers 2 confirmed, filming has begun
- SABRES 89


It was confirmed last year when their kickstarter met its goal...

I donated $20 and got a personalized video of farva calling me a chicken (frank)er. Best $20 i've ever spent.

Maybe he's jealous that he doesn't play for Carolina....

I'm not watching because I'm at work, so I have no actual opinion on how he looks.

Seemed to be a step slower than the other guys on D out there.

To me, anyway.

Trying to work something in about a "grassy knoll" here, but it's just not that simple.

I gave up on that also... I'm not that clever

Would happily take him, but not necessary. We've got Hanifin and Faulk as a top pair for the next 5 years.

He's not an overly powerful skater so not shocking but I bet part of it is to conserve energy. He's gunna play a lot for Finland and last year he basically burned out.

This seems pretty spot on.

He's used to playing 24ish minutes a game. Probably trying to conserve some energy whenever possible. For D it's almost more important to just make sure you're in the right place when you need to be. How quickly you get there doesn't matter so long as you get there in time.

I dunno. I want my defensemen to be the best skaters on my team in order to push the puck up the ice and force turnovers in the neutral zone.

In a perfect world, sure.

That would be hard to come by for the Sabres though, since they have Jack Eichel, who is a phenomenal skater.

Quick rant with very little real importance:

Chiropractors CAN NOT write prescriptions - THEY ARE NOT DOCTORS. Three different people I know are chiropractors. All three of them have email addresses that start with drbob or drfred or dreric.

What a bunch of insecure turds.

I used to go to one who only charged $10/visit (weekly), just to keep you coming so they could bill the hell out of your insurance.

I stopped going when I was having more back pain regularly after going there than I ever did without.

I've considered going to one because I have issues with my sciatic nerve on occasion but have never actually gone through with it.

Okay now that he got beat to a rebound and scored on can I say he looks slow?

Absolutely, you can say anything you want. I didn't realize he was playing goalie though edit: didn't he clear it behind the net/shot came from behind the goal line? Sounds more like a rinne mistake

I love the kid as a player, and he's by no means anywhere near the realm of a bust....however, he does not look like a future cup caliber #1 D. (not talking about this tournament)

We could have Nik Lidstrom when he was in his prime on this team and you'd find something negative to say about him.
