Sam the sham just gets robbed on a beauty of deflection. In front trying to do his job.

Cats pouring it on, but can't break through.

He and Ryan McDonagh (3 assists) have owned the game.

Florida had about a 12-minute span of sheer dominance in the 1st where they scored 2, and then the Preds took over in one shift.

If the Predators made Ekholm available, does he make sense as a quality top 4 defense addition the Sabres need?

He's 32, has 3 years left on his deal at a reasonable cap hit of just over $6M per, and he has does not have any no trade clauses.

I have no idea what kind of haul the Predators would be looking for in return.

I'm sure they feel they're still in a race for WC and 3rd division spot.

Didn't they just sign him? Feel like it would be strange for them to trade him this year and I'm not sure if they're going to sell yet. If it happens, I'd be down for it price dependent obviously.

Gotta wait on that, I think Sam or Tkachuk might have deflected

Edit: #21 for Sam. 9th PPG for the deflector.

Crazy, who's idea is it to allow a divison team and conference teams to have 5 or 6 games in hand?

Sure, the Sabres had 1 game postponed.

Wouldnt the Sabres want a schedule that showed them in better position?
Being in a playoff position in the standings (even if other teams had games in hand) would sell more tickets to home games.

It was the all star break

Have the league started before the break and some had it go over the all star break like the Sabres did

Gotta keep an eye on the goal differential, you know it is a possible tie breaker when it comes to the playoffs

Took the Bruins all of 2 minutes to go up on the Isles.

We might get a lot of help today.
