"CJ, you really gotta try this place called BadaBing. C'mon I'm heading over there now."

This will sound crazy but i think its because there's not much disagreement on the team anymore..

we all know whats wrong and there arent too many different approaches to fixing it. Something has to happen (or not happen) and then things will pick up. At least with hockey talk anyways.

That's very true. I have my last game as a season ticket holder on Sunday. There's a part of me that's sad about it but there's a part of me that is relieved.

Great to have you aboard. Let's go for lunch so I can introduce you to Garth.

Should I say hi to them?

They rented some house near Vanderbilt I guess.

Biggest surprises (good performances) this season - Robin Lehner

Stayed healthy, decent numbers (I know, shootouts)

Justin Falk -

Steady number 5-7, better skater than I thought for his size


Biggest disappointments (excluding guys with injuries - looking at Kulikov, Ennis, Bogo)

Zemgus Girgensons -

He's one guy I think needs to desperately get away from Bylsma

Sam Reinhart -

IMO, he's 90% the same exact guy he was last season, I expected a big jump from a #2 pick three years removed from his draft, this year. Didn't''t see it. **this is not calling him a bad player***

Jake McCabe -

He's another one that I expected to see another gear from that I don't think really showed up. Like the kid, a lot. But he went from looking like a #4 to looking like a #4. **this is not calling him a bad player**

OK. Blast me to the sun

Biggest Surprise - Jack Eichel - I knew he was going to be really good someday, but I did not expect him to be a top 10 player in the league this year. Especially coming back from that injury that could have lingered.

Biggest Disappointment - tie - Tim Murray and Dan Bylsma

Eh, i disagree with the mccabe one. There is/was a jump but overshadowed by playing above a role he's capable of. Most of his numbers read well

- Sabresfan-365

Eh, well is a stretch. He's basically performed as a #4 on this team.

Goals for % - 5th
Shots per 60- 6th
Points/60 -3rd
Corsi for rel - 5th
Corsi against rel - 6th

He's laid a couple nice hits, and had a stretch where he's put up some points, but nothing suggesting he's moving the needle for this team

i would like to know who and how many teams we beat out
- Sabresfan-365

Well..that would be 30 other teams.

At Rangers practice, 3 forwards in red jerseys likely indicating scratches and Jimmy Vesey is one of them. Glass and Pirri are the others.

So we traded a 3rd rounder to talk to a guy, who didn't sign, and isn't very good?

I thought McCabe played pretty well this year. I think both he and Risto would be far more effective if we had one more D and the ice weren't always so slanted. Look how much better the D looked in the last 3 games when we got some pressure on the other goalie.

Reinhart has been very disappointing. He absolutely should not be playing on Eichel's wing. He was far more impressive when he recently played center for a couple of games.

So the outcome is similar to picking a player in the third round

We drafted Cliff Pu at about the same spot the Preds drafted Slippin' Jimmy. Here's to hoping Pu is better.

Well, worse because there is now a 0.00% chance he works out for us, as opposed to a small chance he becomes an NHL'er.

I like that we went for it, but dogging Vesey is sort of dogging our attempt to acquire him, don't you think?
