Am I the only Buffalo fan that thought what Eichel did was a little excessive ? Taunting another teams' fans ? Seems a little childish and unprofessional. I just didn't like it. Or, am I just an old fart ?

Maybe not the only fan, but likely in the minority.
I loved Jack showing emotion, letting us know how much he is driven to win competitive battles...protecting the home front. Now if we could get another couple more with that fire!

So, Kuli plays the best game of his season after sitting another 2 weeks from a concussion. Was that how he can play when injury free?
Change anybody's mind about trying to retain him?
I'm awRe he has communicated his distaste for playing here, but maybe he got a glimpse of what it could really be like when this team jells.

He still had some screwups in the game, one that pretty directly led to one of the 2 goals.

I'm of the opinion that if this team is signing Antipin that they should have another Russian on the team, and preferably one who's been playing in North America/NHL for a while and can help bridge some language barriers - and even more preferably that guy be his linemate.

It all really depends on why he isn't happy here. If it's the coach/system, then if the plan isn't to continue with Dan he may sign here on the cheap but that's up to Murray to figure out.

Like Stash said, it would be nice to have a Russian connection for Antipin.

I'll give it my best shot!!!!
PUT ME IN COACH!


Also, that Russian could be Kulikov........

I thought I heard that was another factor in going hard after Antipin, was it might help the chances of resigning Kuli.
Having never seen Antipin play, I don't know where he fits, apparently his O stats warrant being in the top 4. If that is the case, I think Murray has to find a way to get Bogo out of here...addition by subtraction.

If we do sign Antipin, Re-sign Kulikov
1st and 3rd rd pick plus B prospect for a d-man.
Bogosian and a pick to LV for a later pick
Gorges - Hold 500K-900K of celery for a pick

Risto - D-man
McCabe - ???
Antipin- Kulikov
Fedun/Falk/Austin

I agree that Saturday was his best game as a sabre.

And if that's as good as it gets, for the $, let him go.

Risto looks like Drago. Will that work?

It hurts we missed out on Clayton Keller

Signed his ELC and playing the rest of the season in the NHL

Going to be fun to watch

Serious question: is your only mood upset about something that didn't happen instead of enjoying what did happen?

He overreacts to every player we didn't get and the ones that we do have.

He overreacts to EVERY MOVIE WRITTEN FOR AUDIENCES UNDER THE AGE OF 12 and HAS NEVER SEEN the ones that ADULT MEN SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN.

I'm still picking McDavid over Eichel every time...
The homer in me is not very homer-ish.

Can McDavid score 60 goals in-between December's?

The longer Petersen plays the less likely he signs here
