This would be a great board without the 5 or 6 2 year olds around

NHL Network not showing that game...

Why does my guide say the '16 Spengler cup at 330? Isn't US Canada on then?

We didn't get the better side of the deal because, even though it is not Murray's fault for Kuli being injured by a door, we ended up with a defenseman who's had been injured and that will also probably be here for only 2/3 of a season before being dealt at the deadline. Murray may have not liked Pysyk, but dumping a young RFA defenseman on a cheap contract for a pending UFA was not smart.

I'm pretty sure Pysyk has to be protected for the expansion draft or you probably lose him for nothing. If we end up moving Kulikov, we still end up with an asset for Pysyk. If he stays, we don't have to protect him because of his UFA status and we still have an asset. I know not everyone thinks this is ideal, but IMO it's decent asset management especially when you consider TM didn't want Pysyk. To be honest, I'm not sure how Pysyk's RFA status matters here. I only mean that in the sense that RFA's aren't as mobile as UFA's.

I have the same thing. I think it is just a description error. It shows Spengler cup for whatever is on now, also.

At 3:30 the description shows it is a live event of USA and Canada.

Directv has iihf at 3:30

That's got to be ten (frank)ing times we've over skated a pass or puck! Enough is a (frank)ing nuff!!!

Also I'm starting to believe Bogosian can't shoot the puck to the net. He's magnetically drawn to the opponents legs..

Let's keep playing Jack with Moulson and Foligno. Because that makes a lot of sense...

OK good. I want to watch a good game today

This is exactly how I felt about this deal. He was looking forward to expansion draft. Good point.

What type of TV do you have? Mine is Time Warner and says USA Canada.

Because literally nothing you said has any analysis attached.

That's like saying Matt Moulson has scored goals and played playoff games previously, so why would we trade him for a younger player who hasn't?
- sbroads24

I think you just conjured Trevor Smith. I looked through the birth year one full year, '85, before Moulson(11/83) and literally only one active forward does not have NHL playoff experience. Your argument is absurd.

Edit: Back reading, moving goal posts.

Right ?

It's ridiculous

If I was forced to go with this current line up with Larsson out for the game..

I'd go

Kane Eichel Okposo
Moulson Reinhart Bailey
Foligino Girgensons Gionta
Deslauries Eichel (Double shift) Grant

Right ?

Great way to neutralize your talent. Boston says thank you, Dan Bylsma.

They most likely have FiOS it says the same for me

The Kuli/Pysyk trade happened over a year before having to make a decision on who save against the expansion draft. There was no need to make this trade because of the looming draft that is forever in future in the sports world.

Cool

Anybody care to tell me wtf grant was doing on that goal? Why is he still here???!!!

hes a pk specialist


GM can't do no wrong TM

So now we are depending on Larsson to better players ? we are in trouble.
- SABRES 89

Not in the way you're saying, but that line works well together, probably the only one on the team that does.

Bylsma is convinced he's some kind of reliable, defensive force.

Dude just give up. Every time Murray does something dumb , the reason is rationalized 80 different ways until it fits.

First it was Kulikov was better
Then it was expansion
Then it was Asplund
Now it's Kulikov has playoff experience and will get us something at the deadline

It blows my mind also he is useless a retired goose t is more useful than him
