I find it humorous that Nelson is show us in two games what we've been waiting almost three years for Ruhwedel to do. I really hope this kid works out, it's about time the Sabres score on an undrafted player.

To be fair, Ruhwedel looked pretty good in his stint up here when he was first signed too. When you're on a team that has no expectations left for the season, and your put in a position to "just go play", you tend to look better. It's when there are actual expectations of the player that you find out what he's made of. Nelson hasn't reached that place yet.

Well put.
I have a friend that swears the best team are the ones that find/ develop players 3rd round and later

having top-end players carrying the load while the team sorts through those lower-round picks helps immensely

i feel like the most important thing is scoring more goals than the team you are playing on a nightly basis..

I watched batman vs superman tonight


actually it was really good


oh and skunk is pretty good

- homiedclown


The premise is absurd. Superman would destroy Batman, he would just go back in time and kill him in his crib. Boom, done.

I don't think we are allowed to use that word. Last I saw it was the property of the Leafs . They have used it since 1967.

That's a fair assessment. It would be great though if this kid just never looks back and gains the confidence to be a difference maker for us, just like that rookie defenseman on Philly is doing. We could sure use another young quality defenseman for next year, and buying UFA's like Franson just isn't going to cut it.

I am one of the people here who has had enough of Tyler Ennis...

Yes he has played the wing before but he is not someone I see in the top 6 of a Stanley cup contending team. I only put Fasching there because his big body in front could be huge. This of course assuming he works his tail off in the offseason on his skating.

As an injury fill in. I'm sure he'd play RD for a couple games if he had to/was asked. It's the "for the foreseeable future" thing that players get hung up on. And just because they'll do it doesn't mean they'll like it, or be as effective as they could be at their natural position.
