I have three Sabres in my HBSL lineup this week. I probably will lose.

Not in a loaded draft either though. That's the difference.

Pierre McGuire "Colin White will be Ottawa's Patrice Bergeron"

I'm sorry, even if there is a 10% chance of that actually being the case, I'd rather have that than a goalie.

Goaltending is a problem for like 2 or 3 teams a year. And hasn't been our issue in forever.

You're arguing as if we would have took White though. There is absolutely no guarantee we would have done that. I actually think, based on our needs, the chance of us selecting White would have been relatively low. Defense, Goalie, Winger, and Center is what we would have been looking at with pick 21 in my opinion.

I know you don't draft on need, but with it being such a loaded draft, an argument could be made that there was a handful of players graded the same at pick 21.

I think Lehner is probably this teams long term starter if he keeps this level of play + stays healthy. Both can happen, both also "if's" too.

I usually never, ever am worried about goaltending

- sbroads24



Well, if Lehner is this teams long term starter then maybe one day we'll be getting a 1st round pick in return for trading away Ullmark and Petersen. We paid one for Lehern, Toronto paid one for Anderson. Anaheim keeps developing good young goalies and flipping them for 1st. Maybe we should get in that game too.

You're right, and if we would have kept pick 25, I'd probably have a lot less to say. I just can't believe with all that talent in that draft, we moved 4 picks in the top 2 rounds.

Look at what Aho is already doing at 19, picked in the 2nd round.

We could have been totally stacked for the future from that draft alone

I think there is still a small chance we could be good this year.

This is a good post. The 2015 draft will haunt this team.

That would be nice. They would have to play here first though.

Yeah, sure, you just weave them in as your backup, and when they get restless send them packing just like Anaheim does.

those are vegan bites, buffalo style...not vegan wings as wings would imply that it came from some sort of being that vegans don't eat

what kind of dressing?...tofu?

- Michael Pachla


This is where you're going to say wow no thank you lol

You take half shish kabob sticks and you mold the tofu into a chicken wing lol

You only had a Garbage Plate if you went to Nick Tahou's on West Main.

Otherwise you only had "a plate."

Owner of Nick Tahou's is a very good friend of mine. It's a very sore subject. It's kind of like the Anchor Bar and buffalo wings - now every body has taken the idea and run with it. Not much anyone can stop that, but he has a trademark for "Garbage Plate" and he tries to enforce that every chance he gets.

Gotcha. It was actually called a Schaller plate there. I had no idea I was getting one until I asked what it was.

There was a Tim Schaller Jersey there from the Amerks

PS - cheeseburg plate with homefries, mac salad and baked beans topped with hot sauce and onions. Just one of those and a man can die and rest in peace.

That food was made famous by thousands of "rekt" UofR fratboys thinking they were cool running into a part of Rochester they would never go when they were sober.
