I honestly don't mind McCabe sitting. He's been beyond awful the last few. However, wake me up when 4, 47, or 77 sit when they have dreadful games

This is one time when we actually need their help...?

well eichels still here so not yet

I dont know, i let the hamilton tweet get to me. The one where he thinks GMTM is higher on Bogo than most ppl are.

- Sabresfan-365


I'm curious how much insider info Hamilton actually as compared to what he is inferring or outright making up.

Hey where are you getting these from?

And, If you watch the Leafs, Matthews is excellent, but he's been very right place right time this year. I don't think it will be as easy come playoff time for him this year(in the future, he's obviously going to be great)

Firing GMTM at this end of this season is an easy decision based on the following player evaluation:

What to you think of Bogosian going forward?

If he can stay healthy...

Have a nice day, you're fired.

i actually dont know either and admit im going straight to worst case scenario.

I just cant do it anymore. I can live with them missing the playoffs, i really can. But not like this. Not as the sad "womp womp womp" 5v5 team of the nhl.

This far into the rebuild and Gionta in the top 6. The very thought makes me want to barf and root for Toronto.

We are like 50% into this rebuild by the way ...........

The creator is the guy referenced in wilsons new blog, its some pretty good stuff would like to see it take off. And agreed. It also helps when you arent the only one carrying your team up front most nights but thats for another time.

He's obviously an excellent player, but watching them and him specifically, it has surprised me how much that has been the case.

Is a shooting percentage of nearly 15% sustainable long term?

I really feel Cal is as good as gone. It makes no sense for him to sign with us. There is talk of Chicago shopping Crawford and if so, he'll return them a 1st and free up 6 million in cap space. Cal could sign with them, be close to home, play for his surely hometown team in the Blackhawks (more than like be their starter) and compete for a Cup in his rookie year. So, really why sign with us, not explore all your options, and start in the AHL next season?
- sskkoo1


LOL .............. he's going to go directly from ND to the starting goalie in Chicago ? Man I want soem of what you're on.

I don't see anyone leaving a Dman unprotected that would be good enough for Vegas to select and then have Murray to trade Kane for. Dmen that good will be moved before the expansion draft, so the team losing them at least gets something in return.
- sskkoo1


I think some teams will be forced to leave a Dman unprotected and not many teams have more room to take on a Dman they have to protect.

I wonder about deals being made with Vegas where they get compensation for not picking someone off of a team...

If he was even good for the entirety of the time he actually plays, the complaints would be minimal, but the 20-25 games it seems to take him when he comes back from injury is what makes it unbearable.

I feel bad saying that because he genuinely seems like a good guy.

Do I have the website correct?

If so, this is the kind of stuff I have been talking about when saying the advanced stats, to date, are very much incomplete.

Three questions:

1) Who gets fired first - Disco or Murray?
2) Or do they both get fired?
3) When will we be good?

That's the interesting caveat.

For as much heat as Murray rightfully get's, this team is in decent expansion shape. And I don't mean they play like an expansion team.....but they kind of do
