you're pretty impatient...they made a huge leap in the standings last year and have a better record now than at this time last season...and that's without two top-six players...

d-lo?...really?
- Michael Pachla

I was fine with last year I just hated the coach I told everyone we need to get rid of him and everyone brought up stats and everything with the Penguins

I'm just really irritated The roster as a whole besides a few people Is pretty ugly and I thought things were going to be way better

8 games in. 10% of the season, with 2/3 of a bonefide top nhl line, and you're relegating them to lottery status already? You're a towel!

I'm curious - do you mean "wet blanket?"

Your running neck and neck with EK as far as your predictions

Christ these blogs get worse by the day.
- SABRES 89

thanks to a couple "fans"

Well, the girl they have that handles all of the little games, etc during the stoppages of play is a complete moron. Apparently she asked a kid on Saturday what he was being for Halloween, he told her Yoda, and then she asked him what his costume looked like.

She's also rude and way snarky.

The arena will perk up as the team continues to get better. It's just that there hasn't been a lot to cheer for. And the beer is just way too damn expensive.
- HonkFortheGoose

With you being a season ticket holder can't you get a bunch of your friends to send a letter to get her out of there ? Fan support is very important during games even if it's a boring ass game it could still Help with a win

so that means this one going to come true then

BTW - Okposo sure is looking like the real thing. He is the consummate pro. Once we get Jack and Kane back, we will have two really well balanced top 6 forwards. The big "if" to me will be Moulson's play. Is it sustainable or is this an early season aberration? Only time will tell.
- SabreWest

I hope they keep Moulson on the top line when 15 and 9 get back. He's in the right places to score and that top line can really get buzzing down low.

21-90-26
9-15-23
82-22-12
44-28-63

That's finally a solid NHL lineup

It it's possible, package 63 and others for D help, and just let go of 44. They can use any one of Grant, Baptiste, Bailey, Schneider, etc, to fill those spots just as well, and cheaper.

so that means this one going to come true then
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Yeah . Still waiting

ennis on the 4th line ?
- GERBE!!!75PTS

I wouldn't break up the third line, and if you keep Moulson up top to maximize his value, there's nowhere else to put him

thanks to a couple "fans"
- gordong

Yes those fans are sick of drafting in the top ten

they should just trade him right now then it would be pretty worthless to put him on the fourth line

Fans can't do anything about it but listen to complainers everyday.

Yeah . Still waiting

We will not get the first overall pick this year

How would you feel about that. Means the team is better than you and others gave them credit for being only in their sophomore season.

But can you honestly tell me you're happy with this roster ?

can we all agree this is not a playof team

A teams roster will always be totally different from any other team. It is what it is.

Nothing you can do to change it .

Agreed. It is waaaaaaaaaaaaay to early to be too high or too low on anyone.

Lots of positives in the early season.

- I love watching Okposo play. Isles fan was right - he doesn't play a power game. But he forechecks like a mother and he is a great skater. E. Kane should watch his game to try to learn how to play smarter and not harder.

- Matt Moulson looks like a hockey player again

- Risto continues to grow into the horse that we need him to be.

- Ennis has been a little slow but I thought he was our 3rd best player yesterday after Okposo and Lehner.
- Slump Buster[/quote]

I think Ennis is looking pretty solid, even if he's not so much on the score sheet yet, but he will get there. The past two games he's been carrying the puck again more like he used to, spinning around in the corners like playing a game of tag, which allows line mates to set up in the zone. I think line chemistry is still just a bit off, but he looks healthy again.

Can you make a perfect roster in the HBSL and be happy with it ?

I thought they were going to be like Calgary when they made the playoffs that one year that's how I thought this team is going to come out to be honest .

And I'm not gonna hate on Sam but he needs to do more he was ranked as the best player in the draft for the forward position and I was thinking he was going to come out guns blazing this year he just needs to do more

we just had out best October in 4 years without 1/3 of our top 6. Perspective, people
