Berglund and Sobotka are not good players anymore, Okposo and Sheary we’re beneficiaries of great centres in past years and Scandela was exposed as mediocre on a bare bones Sabres defence.

Yea i dont know what that guy was thinking naming those jabronis.

beats me. The Sabres will be very good in 2-3 years but they are currently Dog poop and possibly worse than last year.

Buffalo can do well because the wings sens and habs are that bad. The guys you mentioned are not desirable players for winning teams aside from maybe sheary. They have ass goaltending. Going nowhere.

never said they were going anywhere.....said they would be better than people think, and better than the isles (have you looked at their roster)

Can’t . Want to, but I already committed an Avi bet to that idiot Fry, the Flames fan.
Tell ya what. Same terms , only the winner chooses the losers location. Can’t violate the CoC. Must keep from end of regular season to July 1?

deal (i'll probably forget we made this bet by tuesday, haha)

Yeah, Isles weren't great lst year, and they lost Tavares.

Sabres were admittedly much worse, but they added a lot. Skinner, Dahlin, Middlistad.

If Eichel can stay healthy they should make some serious improvements.

I forgot about Clifford being out.

Make sure to watch the clip (above) with God Miller from Leaf lunch. He does the best job of explaining what you hear more and more insiders saying about the style that the Sens are playing. Remember last year in the final month of the season when insiders were saying that the Sens were dark horse contenders to go deep into the playoffs. Those same commentators are saying the Sens are a very strong team this year and (as Miller did on Leaf lunch) they are cautioning (especially the Leaf media) about underestimating just how good the Sens will be by the end of the year.

Miller's point is the Leafs did not have a bad night Saturday night. They were beaten by a better team and the Leafs are going to need to improve as a team if they are going to beat the Sens. What is fascinating is that it is exactly the same thing that Babcock appeared to be saying after the game.

isles have barzal, and eberle........I think Lee and Bailey are going to take HUGE steps back with the loss of tavares (and nobody to take his place).

i also think barzal will have a big sophmore slump.....nobody there to hide him behind anymore, and i don't think he's ready to be "the guy"

Spatso is the sporting fan equivalent of herpes. He just destroys whichever team he follows.

he'll start cheering for wpg........3 days later, laine career ending leg injury, scheiffle goes missing on a fishing trip and the city falls into a sinkhole. 2 days after that, melnyk sells the team

So, does San Jose have hands down the best defense in the league now? Can any team touch them, maybe Nashville?

Vlasik, Karlsson, Burns, it doesn't really matter who else is on your D.

Cool. Yzerman has done wonders for the bolts too!

BriseBois has been the mastermind for years. We are in good hands.

There you go losing focus again. Two things matter; scoreboard and standings. SENS doing great on both.

Remember the goal was to survive the first 10 games until Karlsson got back. Just hang in until they could be more competitive.

Mission accomplished.

Love these guys. They are a battlefield hostpital of walking wounded and sick players. YET They took 3 of 4 points back to back against Flyers and Devils. How can you not love their character?

Tampa's D is more balanced. I'll take our group before SJ any day of the week.

well leafs fans are known for their general lack of intelligence.
- wingz4life

You’re more of a retard than almost any Leaf fan on this site. I wouldnt be talking.

This has probably been addressed already but wtf is up with Dorion saying this plan has been in place since Feb? Why did they make the point of saying they were offering him a long term deal if that was the case? That management team is all over the place, seems like Melnyk is making the decisions and Dorion is the face of them.

That's a lot to give up for one year of Karlsson

it's entirely possible that if SJ doesn't win the cup this year, and karlsson doesn't re-sign......both teams lose this trade
