Totally forgot about the Jerry Coleman thing

Another reason to hope the Bills win this weekend

Tokarski sent to Rochester so Jonas Johansson is the taxi squad goalie

He looked god awful in that first scrimmage. On the plus side, he should give the taxi squad forwards some shooting confidence. God help us if we need him.

Let's start with Monday morning's waiver wire, which includes six Vancouver Canucks:

• Justin Bailey
• Sven Baertschi
• Guillaume Brisebois
• Loui Eriksson
• Tyler Graovac
• Ashton Sautner

Everyone's favorite.

He did look better in the second one but yeah I would prefer him to get ice time in ROCHESTER

If he didn't, that's probably why he looked better

No, the announcers have had that wrong for decades. The Blue Collar town died decades ago. The simpleton Buffalo fans will take anything that will sign here that has any bit of talent and who will excite them and give them instant gratification. If the fans were building a team Patrick Kane would be a Sabre, they would not have a 1st round pick for a few years, and any big name that came up at the trade deadline would have been dealt for in return for much more than they were worth and paid more than they should be as well just so they didn't leave Buffalo and the fans inferiority complex of it.

I’m so confused as to what you want us to say about Skinner

Do you want us to think that a guy who’s had 3 30+ goal seasons and a 40 goal season should actually be on the 4th line because he’s really a bad player?

We literally all agree he’s well overpaid. We’ve always agreed

No one agrees that Olofsson is better because that’s just not the reality

The coach dislikes Skinner. It’s a bad situation now. If you want to blame 100% of that on Skinner go for it

I remember Ullmark and Hutton going the distance. I'm pretty certain they were both in for the shootout.

A glaring example of why prospects are most often times overrated by their fanbases.

Only 2 days ago, I was jumping in front of a semi.

Seems like I have more company now.

You never get it, I wonder about your lack of depth. Stick with other people's numbers though, that is your strong suit.

Pretty much what I thought

You don’t really have a point, just the ramblings of someone who’s mad that not everyone wants Jeff Skinner to fail like you do

He's hated Skinner since the second he signed that contract

Hate the contract all you want, hating on the player makes no sense because he's good at hockey, and this coach expects him to do something he's NEVER done in his career
