Buffalo is similar to the Canadian markets but it will never be the same. We have the Bills. Canada's identity is hockey, everything else is a side show. They have hockey on their currency for god's sakes. Montreal went to the ECF then gets boo'd off the nice one month into the next season. Leafs are nowhere near as bad as us and fans are launching jerseys onto the nice in October. OCTOBER!

We should start launching the last two third jerseys on to the ice during games... out of spite for the way they look.

Even though I own the Buffalo one with the weird stitching on the numbers.

Thats the blue the current jerseys should have been made of.

Players have been suspended when the player they hit did the same thing as Zadorov. Therefore, I'm throwing that argument out of the window. I'm not upset about the play, the hit, or who did or didnt get suspended. Im upset because yet again, the league remains inconsistent with these things.

For the last 2 or 3 years our players have taken some questionable hits and the opposing team doesnt get suspended even though identical or far less severe hits go punished around the NHL... hits on Gerbe, Ennis and Connolly come to mind.

The Canadian announcers, on first look, immediately called the play questionable and that a suspension should be incoming. Its gotta be pretty blatant for neutral announcers to be saying that.

Holy christ in humanity is this the most accurate statement that I have read all day.

Canadiens fans wants Chara lynched for attempted murder for his hit on Pacriottey.. but this... is "just hockey".

I think the Navy looks much, much better than the royal.

Very good.

Out of fun... last night I went back and looked at our 2012 roster at the END of that year... and looked at our current roster...

Only 7 players remained the same.

Hodge, Foligno, Ennis, McCormick, Myers, Weber, and Enroth.

Flynn was around but not full-time.

interesting roster turnover.

I'm hoping this is a joke...

My point being that not many teams can say that 7 of 22 skaters remain from a team that was on the ice less than 2 years ago. Basically one season and 14 games ago.

What do you propose then? Greening (50% salary), Methot, 2nd.
edit: atleast that way you can solidify your chances of getting mcd.

He is not being traded unless is it is a massive overpayment . Say 2 - 1sts and Ryan.

We have solidified are chances of getting McEichel with Myers as it is, he isn't getting traded unless Murray gets his socks knocked off IMO

I don't... I stay away from trade proposals. As soon as you put it out there there's 50 test tube babies crying about how that deal is lopsided.
Also I still don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon...

I hate these spare parts proposals.

You almost sold me with the token 2nd rounder.

How about the Sabres give you Brian Flynn, Chris Stewart, and a 2nd for Bobby Ryan?


Seems fair to me

IDIOT!

I think there are people who over value Myers and teams that want him that undervalue him (or over value their own players)

IMO if a trade is to be done its mainly a one for one deal with a few extra pieces on each side

Unless it's for a top line forward he's being undervalued IMO.

Top 4 defensemen (which IMO is underselling him) that are 24 years old, and signed long term aren't available everyday

They just signed Ryan to a HUGE long-term deal... only to trade him for a UFA after this season, a 4th line maybe 3rd line guy, and a 2nd?

That doesn't seem like a smart move for Ottawa. Ryan is far better than Stewart in my mind so why trade him for that?

That's his point. He was comparing offering spare parts for Ryan as people are offering spare parts for Myers
