McCabe out and Risto on a back to back after 35:00+?

This will get ugly tonight.

Price in after not getting last night's game for Montreal's own back to back

Gotta be some sort of Orange is the New Black meme out there...no?

gerbe loves to mock the fake tan, so I figured I would put that up for him


I prefer the suicide squad picture

Bylsma has no further update on Jake McCabe--he says its an injury he's had in the past, doesn't believe Guhle will be the call-up. #Sabres

Or maybe Gorges is ready to come back.

May need to institute the "Old Yeller" clause with him...

It's a great day to be alive, it's a great day to be a Sabres fan. The epic run to the playoffs started last night.

These teams have similar records, why are they in different categories?

I view the sens as a team with a decent shot to make the playoffs


The nucks have overachieved lately, when the dust settles they will be a bottom 4 team in the west IMO

Miller has been hot lately though
.923 save % or better in 8 of last 9 games with 2 shutouts

.923 sv% = "hot" but Lehner sucks

Bruins have played more or less at the same level but you put them in the blah pile thats why i was curious

I was on another Sabres message board the other day and a poster from Sweden shared bullet points of an interview with Anders Forsberg, Sabres head of European scouting.

-Forsberg is in charge of drafted and undrafted players in Europe. He continues to follow drafted ones in case of trade proposals and ranks players from 1-7.

-Forsberg was a scout for Ottawa and was responsible for drafting Erik Karlsson. Murray trusts Forsberg and they traded up to get Karlsson.

-Forsberg thinks ahl not suited for Nylander, best is NHL. His strength holds him back for NHL.

-Asplund could play 3 more years in Sweden, best place for him to develop. No reason to come to NA if not ready for significant time.

-Forsberg was behind idea of drafting Lehner, really likes him and experiment here is far from over, has barely touched his potential.

-He wanted to draft OEL in 2008, got Ottawa GM to come to Sweden to watch him, had his worst game and didn't draft him.

-Forsberg loves working with Murray, very straight forward, rare to see this in Sweden.

-Ullmark was scouted by Forsberg. Ullmark said it's because of Forsberg so many Sabre players drafted from Sweden.

-At draft very stressful time for Forsberg. In 7th round Forsberg found a talent in Russia, Vasili Glotov. Convinced Murray to draft him.

I know this post is a bit long, thought I would share.

I also wanted to add that Forsberg has also done some coaching in the SHL and has coached Ullmark, Olofsson, Possler and Muzito-Bagenda. He sees Possler as 3rd line PK specialist and really likes Johansson.

Yes indeed. I asked the guy in Sweden that if Murray thinks highly of Forsberg why wouldn't he come to Buffalo and he stays in Europe because of family reasons. He said scouting is hard. You are on the road for 11 days and home for 3 and then back out again.

He scouted Glotov. He traveled to Baraul, Russia where Glotov is from and Baraul is literally in the middle of nowhere, southern Russia near Mongolia. He loved the kid. He is having a good first year in the Q.
