It's hard when he's playing at 50% if they plan on making the playoffs they have to rest him if not he's not even going to handle the next step during playoffs

Eichel has looked surprisingly good quite often given the injury he had.

I actually heard he was back at practice today and could be playing by next weekend (it said 10 days out). Tipofthetower was where I found it anyways can't find the page again.

Hmm, Yahoo said practice in 7-10 days yesterday.




And then today:

Tyler Ennis (groin) took part in Thursday's optional skate.

Advice: That's obviously a good sign, especially after Sabres coach Dan Bylsma projected on Wednesday that Ennis would start practicing with teammates in seven-to-10 days. That being said, the Sabres have cautioned that Ennis still has a lot of work to do before he'll be ready to return to the Sabres' lineup.

Yeah, I think it just bothers him a bit more certain days, plus, he's not a robot, he's a 20 year old kid that's going to have some off nights regardless if he's hobbled or not.

I'll say it...stick with Tyrod

Bring back Schwartz

Keep Lynn

The offense should improve a bit and the D should a lot.

Draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round this year and if Taylor blows next season draft one in the 1st the year after (its QB heavy)

Do you really think Schwartz would come back given how they stiffed him the first time?

At least it's progress. Hopefully he can make some sort of comeback here before the end of the year (hockey year not 2016). If he could even become a serviceable top9 winger I'd be overjoyed at this point. Sounds like you're a lot closer and could be few weeks to a month still.

Russ Brandon will be named head coach. And then claim he still doesn't make football decisions.

**this is sarcasm

I'm not going to claim to know this USA roster inside and out but of the action I saw, Clayton Keller has been their best offensive player. I do not understand how he was not taking that penalty shot.

Not everyone, I'm about his age. Just have a realistic view on most things. Like participation trophies suck. Got one once, it was in the trash can when I got home. Thanks for letting me know my team got 9th place out of 10 teams.

It's been going on longer than people think, I'm 31 and 20 something years ago when my bowling "team" finished in last place, we got a medal, I don't even think it made it home.

Not for the price the Pats are asking.

Edit: Also remember the last highly touted Pats QB? Matt Cassel.

Stay strong gerbe
There's some angry, bitter ppl on here

Even some who believed we couldn't trade Girgensons after we drafted him bc he had "Captain potential"
Even though some of us said he'd never score 20 goals & would only end up being a 3rd line center

Very few ppl on here follow the prospects like you do
So let them criticize all they want
They're probably still upset that they never got a trophy as a kid themselves

Thank you hope your watching jrs this could be the year for USA

McDaniels and him together would be a very good start but Whaley wouldn't do that.

If I can help it I go in the middle of the night. No one there except for the stock people. And they do their level best to ignore you.

Sweden looks tough.

Canada is still the team in Group B. They lock things down pretty well.

The US defense has quite a few lapses.

Anyone in buffalo a little sketched out with the pegula's after how this Bills situation is unfolding? Sending out an interim coach to answer questions ownership should be addressing, and benching starters so they don't have to commit to an option in contracts?
- highstick87


Not really, it was the regular head coach's presser. They're trying to keep everything as normal as possible. It's always messy firing a coach mid-season and when everybody and their mother talks about how dysfunctional the Bills are everything they do is under the microscope. Did Jags ownership have a press conference after they fired Bradley? I'm really asking, but I don't remember seeing one.

Honestly, I can't stomach watching games where he's not involved anymore. Wasn't the Dolphins game fun? Or the Jets game to end the year?

Watkins and Clay are serious talents, and they just can't figure out how to use them
