So, let's talk some hockey.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm disappointed that Nylander hasn't been able to participate in camp. I was excited to see what he could do this year.

has there been anyword on McCabe? did i hear he is week to week?

is Seth Griffith really going to make this team?

As of right now I see the Bills at 6-10, 7-9 or 8-8

But yeah they are going to draft 2nd overall

Junior just doesn't learn

He gets a handful of things right out of the 100's of stupid things he says

So his track record is a little better than EK's by a hair

Just like you said I was not ready when I said we would still be drafting in the top five when Jack came back ..
Right ? .. right ? Right ?

Both you,Goose and others said I was nuts

I have been really disappointed by the offensive output thus far. We were supposed to have a far more potent "north" game. I'm a little less concerned because fans of other teams have been good enough to say the pre-season means nothing.

the effort against the marlies roster was weak

I think it's also gonna take some time for things to completely gel as well. I haven't actually gotten to watch any of the games (first two weren't televised and I wasn't home for the games this weekend) so I can't really say how things looked. But overall, it sounded like the guys are buying into the system. I think the goals will come. The first two games seemed to go much better than the second two. Housley shuffled things up quite a bit for this past weekend and then put them back more to the way they were for the first two games.

If they think he is playing better than Player B or C then I don't have a problem. I want the best players up.

From what I've seen so far... its been..

Kane - Jack - Pommer
Zemgus - ROR - Okposo
Pouliet - Samson - Griffith
Moulson - Larsson - Baptiste

Kind of surprising not to see Josefson or Fasching in there.

Offense has been stale but I believe that's due to rust
I may be negative but I believe this team will be a Fun Run and Gun offense and Jack 100 leading the way

I'm also disappointed that nylander is hurt but I'm happy to so they won't him

THey actually said he had a really good camp. That injury last year set him back a full year I feel like.

I bet they want him to up his confidence and scoring dynamic in the A for a bit but is about as close to "first call up" as possible.

I said we be the bottom five in the league so therefore I was right..

Everyone said the scoring would improve we would win with Jack etc all this bologna when I said he wouldn't be the same last year he's fully healthy and he's going to get his 100

So when the Bills enter the bye week at 3-2 then what?

They are going to lose out the rest of the season?

Okay, I'd make a bet with you but you know I would be like 3rd or 4th in line to get payment and I don't like sloppy seconds...or 3rds

I mean the goaltending it's been pretty good just Robin let in some bad ones but I'm willing to give him a leash to get off that rust

pre-seasons is just a practice game to me imo you just get off your rest and get ready for the season if they look like that during the season then I'll get worried..

I would give the goaltending 3\5 right now

They won't I will give myself a negativity ban if they don't finish first or second deal ?

Which means that I can't say anything negative about the Sabres or bills or anything in general

All positive

Right - you said the injury would keep him from performing all year.

2015-16 = 56 pts in 81 games (0.69ppg)
2016-17 = 57 pts in 61 games (0.93ppg)

He had better output both in raw numbers and average numbers. How were you right on this one?

Ullmark was really good on Friday I guess. He only allowed 1 goal if what I read was right. Toronto had 2 empty netters.

It doesn't work that way. You can't say one thing and then say, "Oh, my bad. I said it wrong."

That's good to know. Score sheets are never true to tell you what really happened.
