Chances are pretty high he will have another outburst after this game

Maybe vesey can calm him down

I just want to pretend it never happened lol

All I have to say is well done he picked the right team

Do they go on a run?


Or just run?

If they could make Henrik Lundqvist run it would be a good night for my fantasy team

I'm hoping they can keep this somewhat entertaining but the Rangers have been on fire

Can we chase Hank again?

yeah he did...from what I recall he was looking to have a big impact on his two-year entry-level deal so that he could raise the value of his next contract...

solid stats so far for a rookie, but he cooled down there for a while

We have to claim Rattie! Would be pathetic not too

Well, or the two teams ahead of us do

There was a time a few years ago where they wouldn't even include him in the trade for Miller. He was a great prospect and cheap. Tough to work out in the loaded farm system that the Blues have.

If Murray doesn't get this guy I will feel like he's not even trying to make the team better. We're second in the waiver wire to Colorado and I doubt they need a winger right now. Hate to use this term but I think it's time to bust it out off from the dust filled shelf -
DO SOMETHING Murray!

We're actually second in the waiver wire because Arizona is at max contract number.

fedun got called up...gorges has a hip pointer

Fedun called up

From last blog:

Projected lineup

82 Marcus Foligno - 15 Jack Eichel - 21 Kyle Okposo
9 Evander Kane - 23 Sam Reinhart - 56 Justin Bailey
48 William Carrier - 28 Zemgus Girgensons - 12 Brian Gionta
44 Nicolas Deslauriers - 27 Derek Grant - 26 Matt Moulson

4 Josh Gorges - 55 Rasmus Ristolainen
29 Jake McCabe - 47 Zach Bogosian
41 Justin Falk - 6 Cody Franson

31 Anders Nilsson
40 Robin Lehner
- 22sabresQ

How people say this lineup has so much talent to be where they are in the standings even with O'Reilly in the lineup is perplexing. Two of our best 3 forwards are in their 2nd years, 8 of the forwards we can count on basically no offense each game, except maybe Gionta who is on the downside of his career. Jake McCabe is their 2nd best D man right now but he isn't a #2 Dman, Josh Gorges is an aging 5-6 D, Justin Falk is a minor leaguer or a #7, Cody Franson is a 5-6 and Bogo is a top 4 when he is healthy. The goalies, coach and the few pieces of the core might actually be the bright spots.

cap friendly says the sabres have 43...maybe there's an internal cap?

He shouldn't go back down in my opinion. We need goals and he is one of two D men we have that are able to somehow get the puck on the net.
