His shot and offensive ability is as advertised. Had plenty of opportunities but didn't get one to go. Rang one real hard off the post on a crazy angle in the first.

He did have a little trouble when the game got physical you could tell his size limited him a bit, but if you give him time and space holy (frank).


Also, turcotte is also as advertised. Had the 2G for the Badgers.


Lastly, Weissbach has NHL speed. I would look for him to be an underrated piece in the farm soon.

I havent seen him play this year... is he as good of a passer as his stats imply or is he just one line with Caufield?

Weissbach could turn into a poor man's Joe pavelski or actually be Joe pavelski 2.0 I think the injury set him back but this year he is on his game

It's a little of both. There were about 6 players on the ice from both teams that were extremely noticeable and he was definitely one of those 6. Playing on a line with a kid who rips like Caufield does definitely helps though.

I was greatly impressed. Kid has (frank)in wheels.

Suprisingly the most impressive Badger was Dylan Holloway, who is 2020 Draft eligible.

I have been a big Botts supporter, I think he has made some nice moves. But he needs to send a message to his team, to many passengers, this is not club med. He has the pieces available to make a move and improve this team. It's nice to be patient, but there comes a time to get your thumb out of your Ass and help your team for the present.

Realistically, the Sabres have only played 20 games under a new coach. Maybe he wants to see if the players fit Krueger system first?

Krueger, miller, vesey, joker, montour, are basically brand new.

Pretty sure a trade is going to happen around the holidays.

well when bogosian comes back they literally have to do something because they'll be over the cap regardless of sending down eligible players

They could activate him right now and be under the cap, with no other moves.

I had it in my head that it was a 1-year deal. Didn't verify it, though.

EDIT: It's 3 years.

Vesey is who we thought he was

Depth player and plays the PK. That’s about it

- Sabretooth9


Vesey was extremely streaky with the Rangers. He'd go 15 games without a goal then score in 5 straight. we just need that score in 5 straight thing.....

Turcotte was a steal at 5. He should of been the third player taken in the draft.

Don Cherry’s rant on immigrants:

“You people... love our way of life, love our milk and honey. At least you could pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada.”

Of all the things he has said over the years, this is what gets him fired.

Deadspin has been garbage for quite a while now, though.

Sites like Barstool, Outkick the Coverage, and even Bleacher Report do what Deadspin did, only better.

As entertaining as it could be, the writers over there must have had their IQ's decrease by at least 60 points overnight. In what circumstance could you publicly ridicule your boss and not have consequences? (frank) them.
