They're supposed to be nuts this year. There's a White-Footed Mouse in NYS that I guess is one of the biggest, if the not biggest carrier of deer ticks.
- BeadyEyedDouche

The white footed mouse is one of the most underrated tick carriers of the last 8-10 years. Like Peka Rinne in goal.

That shouldn't be a problem with the current state of the defense.

And it's definitely Rinne. The D is really good, but they have been really good for years.

If Antipin can make team Russia, he can make the sabres top 6

No big deal
If he doesn't make the Sabres roster,
Then we've done quite the job bringing in other defensemen
Right now,
He's probably 3rd on our depth chart behind Risto & McCabe

I believe that's also the guy that called Ovechkin a wussy for this:



The Russian says "That's hockey."

pretty sure Zaitsev had something similar when he signed

I'm just glad we're still able to sign him
Certainly can't hurt
Need at least one more guy for the top4
If we can get 2 more, then we're in really good shape!

As much as I despise Laviolette, I hope he makes it number 2, because I despise the Pens and Sens so much more.

I don't like him either...
but I would be great to see Nashville win


At this point...
I'm 100% sold on Housley
He's easily my top choice for our next coach

You have to think he's at or near the top of the list for the Sabres too, just because there's been no movement from the Sabres yet; have they even interviewed anyone? Unless he really wants Tocchet, and they're just waiting like they did for Botterill. But I can't see Uncle Terry wanting the character hit that Tocchet represents.

Well it seems that we're waiting for either Housley or Tocchet
Both names make sense

With Tocchet,
I just hope that he'd coach the same style as Sullivan
If he does... ok then
If not... I'm guessing J-botts wouldn't hire him

Housley gets the edge for me bc he already does a fair amount of coaching from the bench & obviously does great things with the defense

I also think the Buffalo connection would give him the edge
We all know that Pegula will like that

Sign Antipin.
Trade #8 for one of the Ducks D.

Risto-Ducks D-man
McCabe - Antipin
Guhle - Bogosian
Fedun/Falk
Trade Gorges (Celery Retained) for a 2/3

I know Wikipedia may not be really reliable but it says Antipin is 5'11". Which is right 5'9" or 5'11". if hes only 5'9" I don't see him making much of an impact as a defenseman

While I like and generally agree with the article's point regarding defensemen, does this writer really think that clutching and grabbing is gone and that we are transitioning to a "high scoring game"??

I wish he was right on those points. One 100 pt player in the entire league says otherwise.
