Justin Bailey has been summoned from the minors.
Ryan O'Reilly is listed as questionable for Tuesday's match, so Baily could play against the Hurricanes. He has produced 19 goals and 43 points in 64 games during his AHL rookie season. - SABRES 89

I'm whaling through Chocolate Chip Granola Bars this morning. - Der Kaiser
Been getting over a sinus infection cold going on so ive tried to not eat any dairy and craving a bagel with cream cheese. But Brown sugar pop tart may be in my near future
Who does everyone have for the playoffs this year? Washington is obviously good but I don't see them winning for some reason. Especially if they end up playing the Pens I think they lose. In the west I just hope it's not LA or Chicago.

I think Pittsburgh will be tough to beat as they stay hot, Florida seems to have an easier road. I really do like the Stars but Chicago will be tough to beat. My heart says Stars over Pens in 6. My mind says Pens over Blackhawks

The NBA undergoes pretty much the exact same playoff schedule. And the notion that NBA players are wimps and aren't physical is a complete fabrication. I never realized it until I watched a game live. These guys are as big as linebackers, but they can move.
I love hockey. It's my favorite sport, but the badmouthing of basketball from, especially from hockey circles, makes zero sense to me. - buffalofan19
I was not bashing basketball players as wimps, but I believe hockey is the tougher sport, no question. I played a lot of both sports....many years of each. The worst that happened in b-ball was my glasses getting crushed and cutting my face, whereas hockey got me a broken hand, concussion, and knee trouble. Basketball leads to perhaps more injuries, but the severity of injuries in hockey has to be greater, leading to imo a tougher grind to getting through four 7-game series.
Also doesn't the NBA use a 3/3/1 travel schedule in their 7 game series? I would guess a lot of NHL players would love that. As a f
an, I prefer back-and-forth.

I could agree, with you and anyone who watches the first few months of the NBA season they dont exactly play lock down D. Imagine if the first quarter of games teams didnt check
