girgens is on pace for his second best season as a sabre
- homiedclown

Funny how once He & Larsson settled in to a defensive role they’ve been leaps & bounds better

I’d re-sign them both for sure
They’ve played well
Lazar too

He was put in Rochester to start because he was coming off a serious injury.

never got a shot, when healthy

was promised a shot


hence he is bent

this info I heard before christmas

Fair enough
I guess we’ll just have to see how it plays out

tough decisions

if you replace vesey and sheary with upgrades

and cozens and casey can contribute


there is a spot for larsson and girgens



but there is a lot of if's above girgens and larsson

Idk (shrugs), the guy played 30 games down in Rochester this year, after coming off surgery, then he was called up.

If he's going to get 'bent' because he played 30 (frank)ing games before a call up, go fly around in those Russian death traps in the KHL, then.

- homiedclown

I think there’s a spot for them regardless
Line2 & Line3 need the upgrading
Even Okposo looked pretty decent this year
His contract just obviously blows

I think the Rangers won the special teams battle tonight.

Tune in next game for when they might matter again

Since Sheldon Keefe took over Toronto has the #1 PP in the NHL. Their record in that span is 20-9-3. 110 point pace. Their PP under Babcock was 17%.....

How about this dandy

“The Lightning have turned their game around and look like Stanley Cup contenders. They were 14-11-3 on Dec. 9 and have gone 20-4-2 since to move within five points of the first-place Boston Bruins in the Atlantic Division.

Since Dec. 22, they have the best penalty kill in the League (90.6 percent) and they are scoring 5-on-5 with forwards Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos each hitting their stride.”

seems CDC offered China help for weeks on the coronavirus

they never responded

You know I wouldn’t put it past the Chinese govt to have had a hand in this. Calm down the protests. That country was on the verge of chaos. This virus is eerie.

Rumor has it that PSE execs will be in the plaza tomorrow serving hot chocolate to the protesters

I think the virus was man made

And I usually do not fall for conspiracy theories

He started off looking fine with Risto last year
But his play fell off & earned being sent back down

You’re thinking of McFadden’s on the upper east side (2nd ave & 42nd street)

McSorley’s is an old pub in the village on 7th street, which is definitely worth going to
- jdfitz77

Ah, you are absolutely right. I think McSorleys is one of the places claiming to be the oldest in NYC.

I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years from now we find out their "response" to the corona virus was simply a test on their ability to control their population

Breaking news - NHL’s most talented teams are good, when the opposition has less players on the ice

I don't think we're using the word "buried" the same way.

He was called up after 30 games, after coming off an injury. It was a great place to rehab and get his game back, and I'm 100% confident it was explained that way.

I'm not shooting the messenger.

Been to McSorleys..(frank)in great place

Yep. It’s up there

And while McFadden’s has pretty decent wings,
they’re more of a “Bills” bar than a “Buffalo” bar

They’ll put the Sabres games on if it’s available,
but i don’t think they get the NHL package & play every game
*at least they didn’t used to

They do have Blue & Blue light,
but they aren’t considered “domestic” like true “Buffalo” bars
They’re a buck more expensive than Bud, Miller lt, etc and aren’t part of their game day special
(unless u get to know the bartenders)

I enjoyed this one too

“ Spezza is scoring at a 40 point pace playing under 11 minutes a night. He turns 37 this year and makes $700K”

We could have saved $8.3M for the next 7 years.

Anyone watching The Outsider? I’m one episode behind. Im at a point where there is potential for it to be unbelievable. I hope I’m not let down.

McFaddens is a chain. It probably is a NYC Chapter of a Bills Backers bar.

Love it

U caught up? Still good?

I wouldn’t blame them for being skeptical about the “help” they’d receive.

This is confusing. Are you saying sign Spezza for 8 years and expect he’s a 40 point player into his mid-40’s, while Skinner, at 27 continues to have career low production?

Sounds...good?
