He's gonna get double teamed a lot and Manning is going to have an off year I think.

After this ugly season at the QB position I'm trying to get Rivers out of San Diego or wherever it is they call home this coming off season.

I wish the Bills would try and get Rivers now or grab Cutler.

Rivers would cost a ton trade wise Cutler not so much but I don't think either fit with the cap right now. Rivers would be huge but that's not gonna happen this year.

this incessant whining about Reinhart makes me want him traded. Slowly becoming Myers 2.0 around here. After all this anything short of winning the calder will result in eternal female doging.

54 more days before the first NHL regular season game. 55 for the Sabres.

I wonder how long the eichel honeymoon phase will be.

I give it 2 months before people circle june 24 on their calendars again.

People need to temper their expectations. He's 18 years old. He'll turn 19 shortly after the start of the season. Just watching the World's should be enough to tell you he'll be able to make a difference, but it's going to take some time and it's not going to happen every game.

That said, if Bylsma can get him against favorable defensive matchups, that should help a lot too.

Let's not forget he will not be the only addition to the team from last season, and he won't have to be a savior all unto himself. In addition to Eichel, we'll also see Reinhart, ROR and EKane. I think the team is going to be WAY more dynamic, and there won't be a "honeymoon phase" with any individual player.

I think this team is going to have some really good games and some really bad ones. It's part of having such a young team. But overall, this season should be WAY more entertaining that it was the last 2 years. Even on the "ugly" nights.
